They got the band back together
Wow. Looks like Mike Salvatori got hired by Bungie! I wonder what they're working on...? (Louis Wu 23:00:05 UTC) (permalink)
AFoA Adjunct - Final
Leviathan has now officially completed A Fistful of Arrows - he's posted the final Adjunct segment, a followup to the Quezon Superindentent's piece released last week. A fitting conclusion to the project - go read it (either on our forum or on the project's website). (Louis Wu 16:37:43 UTC) (permalink)
A Machinima Reality Show - depends on YOU
I'm not sure I ever envisioned seeing a project like this one - but I'm wholeheartedly behind this iteration, primarily because of the guy who's putting it forward. pete_the_duck wants to create a Machinima reality show... but he doesn't have the equipment to make it happen. He's decided to ask the community to help; he's fired up a Kickstarter project to fund this. The beauty of Kickstarter is that if his goal ($400) isn't reached in the time allotted (two weeks), nobody owes a penny; the project isn't funded. And pete gets a pretty solid message that this sort of project simply isn't of interest to the community as a whole. If you DO want to see this, though, you can pledge a few bucks; again, you won't be billed until (and unless) the targets are met. I can't see myself endorsing a lot of projects like this; far too many Halo-based projects have great ideas behind them, but enthusiasm fizzles out when the people involved realize how much work is really needed. pete_the_duck has proven himself over and over again as someone who follows through on what he starts - and as someone who comes up with really entertaining Halo projects. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes - if you, the fans, decide to risk your dollars on pete's vision! Update: Whoa. Within an hour of this newspost, pete_the_duck hit his goal, and then some. you guys rock. (Louis Wu 16:29:23 UTC) (permalink)
GT Halo Retrospective Index 2
Gametrailers has released the second installment of their Halo Retrospective - Index 2 is called 'Once More Unto the Breach', and it brings us up through the present in terms of releases. (Don't worry, there's still more to come - the next episode focuses on multiplayer and DLC releases.) Thanks, ZZoMBiE13. (Louis Wu 16:15:04 UTC) (permalink)
It's hard to be humble
Nak3d Eli got featured by The Game Station - and he picked a controversial video for the honor. Watchers are split between those who like the carnage, and those who feel the choice of weapon was better at showing problems with Reach's multiplayer than at showing Eli's skill. Go watch for yourself! (Louis Wu 16:12:52 UTC) (permalink)
Look Over the Night
smiichy is back with another photomanip - this time, it's a moody piece called 'Look Over the Night'. Nice work! (Louis Wu 16:10:04 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Heroic in 87 minutes
RC Master has uploaded a monster (1 hour, 38 minute) video showing his world-record sub-87-minute run-through of Halo Reach (9 individual level runs, combined into a single video) at Heroic difficulty. Pretty amazing! (Louis Wu 16:07:20 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Customz Ep 6 - Hot Pursuit
Timgie is back with a new episode of Reach Customz - this one spotlights Hot Pursuit, another Infection gametype that reimagines Cops and Robbers. Watch the video, download the gametype, go play! (Louis Wu 16:03:09 UTC) (permalink)
Anniversary Delayed in Brazil
Marcelo Vega, a Brazilian fan from Too Gamers, sent word that there's bad news regarding Halo Anniversary in his country - it's being delayed a couple of days. Release is now set for November 17. (Reasoning is unclear.) On the bright side (well, for Brazilians), the cost there is R$99 (about $56 US) - which might sound really expensive to folks IN the US, but is quite cheap by Brazilian standards.

GoozerNation has an article from a non-Halo fan who's looking forward to Halo Anniversary - go read why! (Louis Wu 15:12:20 UTC) (permalink)
