Arby 'n' The Chief: Hypermail - Silly Billies
There's a new Arby 'n' the Chief: Hypermail episode - Silly Billies has Chief trying hard not to make mom jokes, while the Arbiter dances. Thanks, robofin117. (Louis Wu 21:12:24 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Fest Day 1 - the Shakeycam Version
Chris101b spent most of Halo Fest with a camera (well, his phone) welded to his hand. Go see the 26-minute boiliing-down of Day 1. (Louis Wu 20:32:16 UTC) (permalink)
DaFrontlineTrooper Halo Collection
DaFrontlineTrooper (a prolific propmaker) put up a film showing off all of his Halo weapons (along with Mass Effect props and Star Wars props). Amazing! Thanks, robofin117. (Louis Wu 20:31:17 UTC) (permalink)
Can we hire you to... wait, we can't say
Jesse Snyder, the Campaign Lead Designer for Halo 4, put up a blog post about how difficulty the secrecy surrounding the game has been. Pretty funny read! Thanks, Dani. (Louis Wu 20:30:45 UTC) (permalink)
An Awesome Look Back at Halo Fest
You'll definitely want to head over to Halo Waypoint today and check out the new Halo Fest ViDoc, recapping a glorious weekend of Halo-celebration. The HBO contingent in particular can be found all throughout the video, which makes it even cooler. Whether you were able to make it or not, this video brings you right into the action and emotion... go watch it! (GrimBrother One 15:01:22 UTC) (permalink)
High-Altitude BBQ
Don't miss FyreWulff's new FireTeamZulu task, the Firebird Challenge. Think you have what it takes to top 112 Firebird medals on a match of Skirmageddon? Then head on over to FTZ's site to grab details on how you can participate! (GrimBrother One 14:26:03 UTC) (permalink)
The Day a Sci Fi Author Surfaced
HBO Lover & Fighter Hedgemony let us know about something very cool. While not directly Halo-related, it is very much HBO Family-related, and well worth highlighting. Our very own Beckx recently had his first published piece of scifi literature published, and you should absolutely go and check out "The Day the Pod Landed" on Redstone Science Fiction. Not only is Beckx a vital part of the HBO circle, it's a really great read all on its own! Don't miss it! (GrimBrother One 06:07:43 UTC) (permalink)
Ha ha, You Can't Get Me, I'm Behind a Shield-BLAM!
You should definitely check out Episode 13 of Stewie2552's Halo Reach Fails & Laughs series. I laughed out loud more than once, which Mrs. One was not particularly happy about at 2am. However, you should watch it anyway! Thanks for letting us know, Stewie. (GrimBrother One 06:00:33 UTC) (permalink)
Fails Of The Weak, and the Weakier
Hezekiah brought to our forum's attention the existence of Episode 50 of Achievement Hunter's awesome Fails of the Weak series. You can find it both on the AH website or on YouTube. When I thought about it, it also brings up the existence of Fails of the Weak Episode 49, which I didn't see us having posted about before now (If we have, I'm sure 3 of you will let me know about it within 7 seconds of me clicking submit). You can find Episode 49 here and here just like above. Clips R funny! Go watch! (GrimBrother One 05:39:49 UTC) (permalink)
Revving It Up on the Dino
Rizla found a pretty cool Elite-focused montage that's a really fun watch. It's a decent time sink for a gameplay montage, clocking in at over 6 minutes, but moves along rather well thanks to a combination of stellar multikills and funny moments. Go and give it a watch! Preferably a Rolex. (GrimBrother One 05:30:10 UTC) (permalink)
If You're Wondering What All the Buzz is About...
Do you like the UNSC Hornet? Do you like having your paper stay the heck where you want it? Then you should definitely check out what Mid7night is proposing. Details are in his post, but needless to say, you could find yourself the owner of the coolest desk-ornamentation this side of a yearbook picture of Hedgemony, for basically the cost of materials. Go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 05:26:05 UTC) (permalink)
Swagatar Marketplace Additions
SIX min WHISTLE was the first I saw (which doesn't necessarily mean anything) on our forum to notice the new Halo Fest t-shirt for your Xbox Avatar available on the Marketplace. I might just have to grab one so that my virtual Grim matches what I'm wearing right now. Go give it a look! (GrimBrother One 05:21:02 UTC) (permalink)
His Pen Is Mightier
Leviathan doesn't use his talented pencil for just art, he can also write up a good thought-provoking bit of prose, as he's done here. He muses that Reach might be far more appreciated as the years pass by, not just in spite of its quirks, but potentially because of them. It's a neat discussion piece, one that we think people should add to... so go check it out! (GrimBrother One 05:15:29 UTC) (permalink)
Told You So
In other news, it's Phoenix_9286's birthday. Go make him feel more awkward about it. Buon compleanno, you firey-feathered thing, you! (GrimBrother One 05:13:00 UTC) (permalink)
HBO Generally Does Love Customs
This "Grim Can't Sleep" segment of the news continues with another ridiculously awesome custom figure from Kaidon. This time he brings us a beautiful and visceral custom Elite General, with shots taken from his newer, nicer camera to boot! Definitely give it a look! (GrimBrother One 05:08:23 UTC) (permalink)
I Prefer 'Flood Rush', Thank You
Thanks to VAVA Mk2 for letting us know about a fun little reference to our favorite flavor of super soldier on a CNN piece (of all things) that serves as a geeky field guide for Dragoncon goers. Pretty neat! (GrimBrother One 05:06:01 UTC) (permalink)
