A Fistful of Arrows - Adjunct: Eliza Ingrid
Leviathan has posted a new Adjunct piece for A Fistful of Arrows - it's a bio of the Insurrectionist Eliza Ingrid, and it provides quite a bit of backstory for this enigmatic character. Beautiful! Go check it out. (Louis Wu 15:59:37 UTC) (permalink)
Real Men of Halo (and a bonus)
One thing that's really cool about live performances from favorite artists is that fans sometimes jump right on the new content. Daemon Productions (the folks behind the recent Legends: Cielo Negro machinima series) grabbed the Pete Stacker/Tim Dadabo "Real Men of Halo" performance from the Halo Universe panel (if you haven't seen it, jump to 48:30 in this video), and added Reach footage - the result is pretty enjoyable! (And while you're checking out fan/voice-actor blends, Podtacular's Dust Storm pointed out conpett's Halo Corpseman, which was created a couple of years ago, but which used one of the outtakes Marty played at that same panel and added funny footage to it.)

Reclamation: Dawn (and a cool gallery)
Dani posted a new article at Forward Unto Dawn - Reclamation: Dawn looks at the concept art from Halo 4 (most of it from the trailer shown at Halo Fest, but at least one other bit found on the show floor), and speculates about what it all might mean. Fun read! (While you're over there, check out their brand new Article and Concept Art gallery - it's still growing, but it's got an amazing amount of content already, gathered from a variety of sources.)

Halo Base opens Facebook Fanpage for Halo Fest
Halo Base's Oliver Stopienski was at Halo Fest last week, and he spent quite a bit of time collecting photos, short video interviews, and impressions. If you don't read German, the impressions might be a stretch - but a picture is worth a thousand words, and he has a LOT of pictures, both still and moving. Check out their new fanpage on Facebook, chock full of Halo Fest goodness!

According to Punch Jump, preorders for Halo Anniversary are climbing - this week, it's #7 in the best-selling preorders list at Gamestop. (How appropriate!) Gamestop preorders get Master Chief Avatar armor for your XBL avatar, as well as the Grunt Funeral Skull in-game.
