It's John Howard, so I guess it makes sense.
Whoa - you learn something new every day. Did you know that Shadowrun was prototyped in the Halo engine? I didn't. Thanks, u4iX. (Louis Wu 19:36:16 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 4 - RTX Multiplayer Discussion: Goofy and Bravo
Looks like Bravo's bored with the standard interview protocol - check out his latest offering. He sits down with pro player Goofy to discuss impressions from RTX... in a bathrobe. Eating room service. (Great interview.) Thanks, Nando13. (Louis Wu 16:27:12 UTC) (permalink)
How to Sneaky Cap
CyReN pointed out a short clip from Status Quo's Flamesword that shows a pretty funny flag cap (with commentary) - the gameplay at the start of the match is amazing, but the cap itself is worth watching. (He's right - this will almost never work... but man, when it does...)

Bow chicka wow wow
If you were at RTX this weekend, or watched the live stream on the internet, you might have already seen this... but the 6th episode of Red vs Blue Season 10 was released to the public last night. Carolina gets angsty, Sigma gets ambitious, and Caboose makes funny noises. Go watch! (Louis Wu 15:55:16 UTC) (permalink)
Telikos Protocol Needs You This is completely non-Halo-related, but it's a new Kickstarter project from a Halo fan with some deep roots in our community, and it looks pretty amazing to boot, so we're tossing in some love. Pete Cooper stopped in to let us know that he and artist Adam Burn are working on a graphic novel they call Telikos Protocol. If you visit the Kickstarter page, you can see a bunch of the artwork (astounding) and a video explaining how they hope the project will work. They're looking to raise $9500, and one day in, they're more than a quarter of the way there. (That should tell you something about the enthusiasm of the project's fans!) Pete's good people, and this project looks spectacular; if you've got a few bucks, toss 'em into the pot! If they don't reach their goal, you're not out a penny. And if they do, you have the satisfaction of knowing you helped launch something beautiful. (Louis Wu 15:50:14 UTC) (permalink)
Speeding through Halo, for a Good Cause slYnki is planning a charity marathon of Halo FPS titles - Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and Halo 4 - next January, after the release of Halo 4. He's hoping to raise money for Habitat for Humanity (though the choice of charity might change). More details can be found in his Jumprs.org forum thread. Go visit - and spread the word!

He's not our enemy
Jordan Bell is back with another Halo Universe analysis piece - he discusses why he doesn't think the Didact is the enemy we'll be facing in Halo 4. Interesting thoughts! He's decided to make his YouTube channel a dedicated Halo Universe lore channel, so subscribe if you like this stuff! (Louis Wu 15:39:35 UTC) (permalink)
