Forward Unto Dawn Podcast, Episode 11
The crew from Forward Unto Dawn have released a new podcast - this one focuses on Silentium. The start is spoiler-free, so if you haven't finished the book, you can at least get a taste! Thanks, davidfuchs. (Louis Wu 18:09:33 UTC) (permalink)
More buried goodies in Halo 4's code
Gamecheat13 and his friends have been messing around with a test map they found in the code for Halo 4 - you can watch Gamecheat's video, showing off both the Revenant and the Disintegrator (two items that didn't make it into the final build), as well as a film from his buddy, TehBanStick, showing some random gameplay on this map. This stuff isn't available to you without modding - but you can see what didn't make the final cut! (Louis Wu 18:06:50 UTC) (permalink)
A bonus for Silentium readers (only a week late)
Last week, when Silentium was released, the Section 3 folks pulled the glyphs that appeared in the book's chapter headings and decoded the latest offering - by visiting the Classified page (either on Halo Waypoint's website, or in-game), you can add this code and receive 20,000 XP and a video called 'Rebirth'. It took a few days to work properly on the website (it was much faster on XBL), but it's up in both places now - it's a 40-minute audio epilogue to Silentium, written by Eric and Greg Bear, and read by Greg! Pretty slick. I was pretty sure we'd front-paged this when Mid7night mentioned Nak3d Eli's video about it - but apparently not. Thanks to GunRunner48 for the added reminder.

Bonnie Ross, Game Changer: Celebrating the Women of Xbox
Xbox is celebrating Women's History Month by introducing you to the women of Xbox in a five part series called Game Changer. The first episode focuses on the Superintendent (some like say General Manager) of 343 Industries, Bonnie Ross. Bonnie is in charge of overseeing the entire Halo franchise, including the videos games, books, and even Halo apparel - that's a pretty gargantuan task! Go find out a little more about Bonnie and see what she has to say about the studio. Neat! (colindosaj 10:01:21 UTC) (permalink)
