Halo: SPD Flash Part 4 pages 10-28
Hedgemony posted the second half (well... last two thirds, really) of Part 4 of his Halo: SPD Flash comic. You should read it. It's not Halo Fest-related... but Hedge doesn't disappoint.

Halo Fest Friday Roundup
I am really, really appreciative of our forumgoers today - I went through and found that enormous swaths of the new content released yesterday has been chronicled there. Let's see if I can summarize what's out there:
- Major Nelson summarized the first day's activities in this post (thanks, Beckx).
- Gametrailers has posted a 343 Guilty Spark walkthrough narrated by 343 Producer Dan Ayoub (thanks, Beckx).
- Kotaku thinks there are secrets visible in plain sight in the Halo 4 informational wall at Halo Fest - thanks, Sqorck.
- IGN has a Halo 4 info summary with discussion from 343 employees - thanks, Sqorck.
- IGN's Halo Fest Hub has flythroughs of three of the new maps in Halo: Anniversary - thanks, nillapuddin.
- The Behind The Scenes video shown at Halo Fest is up on YouTube - thanks, ElzarTheBam.
- IGN posted a "Why you should care about Reach's TItle Update" article - thanks, daveMD.
- Halo Waypoint put up a video showing off a SECOND terminal - thanks, Dubbl3.utoo.
- The final map in the Halo: Anniversary lineup was leaked - the article is down, but there's no reason not to tell you that the map itself is Headlong. Thanks, The Mean.
- The Halo Fest panels that took place yesterday were filmed, streamed, and are now archived on IGN's Halo Fest Hub - this will be true again today. If you want to see them in real time, watch the stream, but if you have trouble with that, IGN's doing a great job of getting them online for archived watching quite quickly. Thanks, PsychoRaven.
- necro2607 took a bunch of his own pics of Halo Fest (and a short video) - go check 'em out on Flickr!
The team at Forward Unto Dawn is doing a fantastic job of keeping up with content as it's released - if you're not willing to wait a day for us to summarize, or wade through our forum for the individual links, they've got a great summary hub. (Thanks, DEEP NNN.) Today's another chock-filled day... (Louis Wu 16:51:11 UTC) (permalink)
The Envelope Please...
While we will be putting up a crazy amount of newsposts about the ridiculous myriad of experiences going on at our proverbial mecca (aka, Halo Fest) over the next few days, let me be the first to congratulate our own venerable Louis Wu for earning the first ever Claude Errera Community Award, given at the Halo Fest VIP Party tonight by 343 Industries. He took home (well, to the hotel) a gorgeous trophy as well as the first Duke 2.0 Xbox controller, retrofitted to work as a wireless Xbox 360 Controller, for as Frank O'Connor so eloquently put it, his "gorilla hand-sausage fingers." Congratulations Claude, may this award come to be an inspiration for all of us in the Halo Community to strive to continually improve. (GrimBrother One 07:19:11 UTC) (permalink)
