Halo pops up in lots of places
Anthony Vaccaro, who worked as an environment artist on Halo: Reach (and now works at Naughty Dog) started a thread on Polycount about a workshop he's going to be teaching, showing how to create game environments using modular assets. The fun part? He's going to use a cool Halo concept of a hallway as his base. Pretty awesome! Thanks to Computron for noticing. (Louis Wu 14:21:49 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 4 LE Console Custom Sounds, from Major Nelson
If you watched all the 343 panels from SDCC, you saw Kiki Wolfkill turn on the Halo 4 LE Console, and you MIGHT have heard the sounds that the console makes when you turn on the console, and when you eject a disc. (Adding these custom sounds to consoles started with the Reach console a couple of years ago - a nice little touch.) In yesterday's podcast from Major Nelson, these sounds were played in high-quality. If you just want to hear the sounds themselves, fast-forward to 1:09:44 in his podcast. If you would like a little bit of context (and a reminder of what you're about to hear), start a bit sooner (maybe around 1:09:10 or so). Thanks to Hypertrooper for pointing this out! Update: If you're too lazy to scrub through a long mp3 file, Legend from HaloBase tells us that he's put just the sounds themselves online in a YouTube video. (It's still 10 times longer than it has to be; it's 23 seconds long, while the sounds are about a second each... but hey, that's way better than a couple of hours!)

Forward Unto Dawn Preview, from G4
G4TV put up another video filmed during the after-hours Halo 4 event at San Diego Comic-Con - this one focuses on Forward Unto Dawn, and includes interviews with Stewart Hendler (the director) and Anna Popplewell (who plays Chyler Silva). Thanks, Ogan Panavo. (Louis Wu 14:02:41 UTC) (permalink)
Nightfall LASO - Variants
The Tyrant has posted yet another LASO run - two, even. The first, with RC Master, shows you easy ways of doing this run on Co-op (including getting through the gate even with a second player), and the second shows how and what to clear to give yourself unlimited (and unmolested) time to work on that Forklift glitch without being shot.

An Ancient Evil Awakens...
DeviantART's GRANDBigBird put together a picture that will make it hard for you to look at Prometheans the same way, come November 6. Thanks to NeoGAF's Boomwood for pointing it out.

Operation Resurrect Part 1
Phat M0nk3y let us know that he and his crew have released Operation Resurrect Part 1, a new Reach-based machinima. This section is monstrous - just under an hour long. In his words, " follow a squad as they try to save Earth and bring peace back to a foreign species." Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:51:58 UTC) (permalink)
mastrbiggy gives good schwag
A few days ago, we mentioned a series of poster auctions from mastrbiggy - the money he was raising was all going to Child's Play. These auctions finished yesterday, and once again, Halo fans prove how hard they rock - he raised just under $1000 with these three posters! (He also picked five winners for his SDCC Goodies Giveaway, but we're holding off on announcing names until all five have responded to email... he may have to pick new winners if he doesn't hear soon.)
