Fun Movies, Round 3 (Anniversary Edition)
We posted copies of the Halo Anniversary cutscenes a week after the game was released (thanks, Dust Storm!), but thanks to some fancy-schmancy equipment that Cody Miller was able to get his hands on, we're RE-releasing them today - the newest versions are recorded in full surround sound. (The interlacing is gone, as well, for folks looking to grab cleaner screenshots.) And if that weren't enough, we've also posted the Halo Anniversary Terminals - all 11 of them. (These are not in Surround Sound, because they were presented in-game in standard stereo sound. But they're still big and beautiful and fascinating.) Go indulge! (Louis Wu 20:17:39 UTC) (permalink)
Fun Movies, Round 2
Halo Waypoint has posted a Behind the Scenes video showing how the site has evolved from its inception as a console portal for Halo content to a multiplatform all-inclusive Halo destination. If you're having trouble with Silverlight, it's available from Waypoint's YouTube channel, as well. (Louis Wu 20:12:58 UTC) (permalink)
Fun Movies, Round 1
Ogan Panavo sent us links to two new vids: Arby 'n' the Chief have a new episode of Hypermail (both characters take abuse from the fans, but respond differently), and a trailer for Dance Central: Halo has hit YouTube (it was originally an April Fools joke from 1UP). Go watch! (Louis Wu 20:09:16 UTC) (permalink)
A Final Look at a Fishful of Arrows
There are points throughout classic literature where a moment occurs that leaves an image burned into the psyche of our very existence, both as individuals and as a collective society. Moments like Hiro entering the Metaverse, the instantly-recognizable wax seal of The Scarlet Pimpernel, or that one unimaginably disturbing cover variant from The Two Towers. Well folks, prepare to make room for another collection of memory-forging moments for your mind to marinate on. HBO, BCKX-TV, and their sponsors, would like to present you with the Samurai Fronk Finale. If you don't like this series, you may be in danger of suddenly developing an allergy to water. Thanks a ton to Hedgemony, who keeps that fish-faced love train rolling. Go enjoy it yourself! (GrimBrother One 18:01:15 UTC) (permalink)
Amazing Charity Auction - VERY LIMITED TIME
Whoa. There's a very cool auction going on right now - it ends in less than two and a half hours from the writing of this post! 343 is auctioning off a pretty incredible collection of goodies, and 100% of the profits go to Northwest Harvest, a non-profit food bank distributor in Washington state. Current high bid is under $500, and the collection contains an Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition, a Kinect sensor, a limited edition Halo Fest Tritton headset, and a TON of other stuff. Go get in on the action! Thanks, Laird. (Louis Wu 17:04:26 UTC) (permalink)

Lord Friendship got some information back from Bungie that has led him to call for help with a BOB quest. Check out his post for full details - and if you've been bitten by the curiosity bug as well, jump in and lend a hand! (Louis Wu 15:37:09 UTC) (permalink)
How To Build The Best Multiplayer FPS Maps: Part Two
We mentioned Part 1 of G4TV's "How To Build the Best Multiplayer FPS Maps" round table - we forgot to go back and read Part 2, which came out on Friday. This installment covers player tactics, game modes, and map experience. Great read! (Louis Wu 15:33:03 UTC) (permalink)
Left 4 Dead - Impulse 76
Barrow Roll, over at NeoGAF, and Revenant1988, on our own forum, both pointed out a Left 4 Dead fan film that might be interesting to Halo fans. (You'll definitely enjoy it more if you don't read the comments first.) Pretty high production values! (Louis Wu 15:20:59 UTC) (permalink)
