Reading the BR Shells

Halo 4 Live Action Pics, from Simon Fraser U
Remember last week, when Kotaku mentioned that the Halo 4 Live Action series would be filmed at Simon Fraser University? Monday, the student newspaper at Simon Fraser posted their own small collection of pics - pretty intriguing stuff! (There's a view of the Warthog, and an intriguing shot of a Spartan standing in flames.) Go take a look.

Life is a Game
NeoGAF's mastrbiggy pointed out a Halo: Reach 'funtage' (with a couple of Halo 3 clips) from Bang Bang TV, a french group - it's not like other montages. It's Halo... through the lens of the other games you grew up with. And it's fantastic. You can turn Closed Captioning on if you really need the translation on the few French words shown in the video... or you can just sit back and watch. It's 14 minutes long, and I, like many others, said "I'm not watching the whole thing!" at the start... only to watch the whole thing. It's great.

Zipline
FreddieW and his crew posted a short film showing off a very cool zipline in a recent studio they've been living in... and at one point, a Master Chief helmet is used as stylish skull protection, adding a touch of Halo to an already awesome moment. Thanks, Ogan Panavo. (Tom Van Sinden 12:43:31 UTC) (permalink)
