Red vs Blue - the Catch-up Edition
Another thing we've totally missed these past couple of weeks is the continuation of Red vs Blue Season 12. This series has evolved quite a bit; storytelling, music, and the combination of machinima and CGI are all quite sophisticated at this point. Caboose still makes me laugh, but some of the new characters are really interesting, and the plot is compelling. If you haven't been following, Episode 2 (Hit and Run) went live on May 5, and Episode 3 (Something Else Entirely) hit the web on May 12. Go catch up - the next installment launches on Monday!

Fails of the Weak 191
Yesterday was Friday, so it was time for another Fails of the Weak - Ray and Jack looked at a bunch of bad playing (mostly on Reach). I liked the last Bullfrogs clip. Watch it on AH.com or YouTube, and say thanks to Nikko B201 for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 16:42:36 UTC) (permalink)
Rebuilding the Series for XB1
Engadget has a story (unconfirmed at this point) about a product called 'Halo: The Master Chief Collection' - Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4 are being put together in a remaster for Xbox One. Details on what that means, exactly, are pretty sketchy (and MS isn't even acknowledging that the project exists). More when we know it! Thanks to Gravemind, who noticed this at IGN.

Spielberg Halo vehicle launching late next year
IGN has some info about the Steven Spielberg-produced Halo series coming to Xbox One - looks like it'll be released in the same timeframe as Halo 5. That's a lot of prep time! Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 16:35:36 UTC) (permalink)
Escalation #9 - Cover and Summary
Quirel noticed that the cover for Escalation #9 has been posted over at Comic Book Resources - looks like SOMEONE might be back in action! (The episode isn't due to hit shelves until August, so you've got a little time to anticipate...) (Louis Wu 16:32:20 UTC) (permalink)
Maybe Waypoint should switch to Saturdays
Not sure how I managed to miss it this week, since I was back in internet land by Wednesday... but somehow, the Weekly Halo Bulletin came and went without an acknowledgement. If you haven't read it yet, you should go take a look. There's information on Matchmaking changes, an interesting Knowledge Drop (comprised of Twitter-originated questions about the Halo universe and answers from the 343 team), and a screenshot spotlight on that most underrated weapon, the Sticky Detonator. As always, there's a local copy, should you need it. Sorry for the delay! (Louis Wu 16:24:45 UTC) (permalink)
AGLA Summer 2014 League Signups - Ending Soon!
We missed the note from Kal Belgarion, announcing signups for the AGLA Summer 2014 league... but don't worry, it's not too late! You can still get your Grifball on; the signups don't close until Monday. Swing by their site for more details - and get your name in the hat! (Louis Wu 15:37:47 UTC) (permalink)
PGCR Turns 5, Releases 200th Ep
We've missed a little Halo news in the recent past - let's see if we can catch up! Robowski let us know (on Wednesday) that they celebrated 5 years of podcasting (and 200 episodes!) this week - go listen to the party! (Th3 Rogue also made a Pre 200 Congratulation video with kind words for the team.) (Louis Wu 15:35:10 UTC) (permalink)
