A new viral campaign?
So... the Halo 4 60-second TV spot (which had its world debut during the England vs France Euro 2012 game this week) made its US debut during last night's basketball game between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Today, if you visit ESPN.com (and ensure that your ad blockers are turned off), you'll see a banner at the top with a Halo 4 video; play it, and some weird stuff happens. Read the entirety of the thread started by Hoovaloov to see what's already been discovered - and be sure to add your own thoughts to the mix! (Louis Wu 14:15:06 UTC)

Halo: Fall of Reach Comic - Complete
Dogiojoe was excited and wanted all fans to know that the final comic in the Halo Fall of Reach series - Invasion #4 - was released yesterday (it's been almost two years since this started!). If you want more info on the overall series, Halo Nation has you covered, and Marvel's got info about the Invasion series specifically.

Feminist Frequency host talks about video games
Gamespot has interviewed Anita Sarkeesian about feminism, her recent visit to Bungie, and her new Kickstarter project (currently funded at 1500% of its goal, with less than 3 days to go) - if you're interested in how female characters are portrayed in video games (and how this affects players and non-players alike), give this a read! Thanks, mastrbiggy.

A new contender emerges
Th3AverageKid is looking to start a new series called Buttery Halo Clips - watch the promo vid to see an example of what he's trying to do. (Even if you don't have anything to offer, this is a pretty insane Living Dead clip on Powerhouse.) He's also posted a discussion with UKD, focusing on how to prep for Halo 4. Are you ready?

The Fallen Needs Your Help
The crew from the live-action fan film 'The Fallen' have put up a new request for funding - with a pretty clear explanation of what they need it for. The entire 5 minute piece is pretty nicely done, with humor, some example footage, and general information - if you like what you see, visit their Kickstarter page and throw 'em a few bucks! (I just did.) Remember - if they don't reach their goal, you don't owe 'em a penny. Thanks again, Ogan Pavano. (Louis Wu 17:35:22 UTC)

Unexpected Landing
Looks like earlier this week, Isaac Hannaford posted a new bit of artwork that started out as a Memorial Day tribute, but somehow ended up with some Master Chief lovin'. Awesome! Thanks, scarab. (Louis Wu 15:52:27 UTC)

Halo 2: The Movie
The Tyrant has released Halo 2: The Movie - a complete runthrough of Halo 2, start to finish (cutscenes included, no commentary, no deaths), in one video. It's nearly six hours long - go enjoy it with him! (Louis Wu 15:43:32 UTC)

Shakeycam MP Love
IGN posted a bunch of offscreen gameplay vids (well, a single session, in five segments) yesterday - I thought we were past this stage, but for folks who want every view they can get, check 'em out! Part 1 is here. (Sound-free, unfortunately.) Thanks, Vire. Update: Gah, didn't notice Grim hit these last night. IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP UP! (Louis Wu 16:18:46 UTC)

The Skybox is No Longer the Limit
Thanks to David Ellis for arousing all sorts of excitement in the Halo Community with the mention of a new interview over at The Guardian featuring Frank O'Connor and talking specifically about the new Spartan Ops mode, episodic content in general, and what it might mean for games and specifically Halo, going forward. Included in the article as well are some stunning new screenshots of the Halo 4 engine at work (dat SKYBOX!) that you really shouldn't miss. Go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 04:53:24 UTC)

Of Audio Books and Game Case Arrangement
Last night yours truly joined Justin for Episode 49 of the Drunken Halo Podcast. What started out as a discussion on Glasslands eventually took some weird turns that included a state-of-the-gaming-union soapbox dissertation and storytime with the Burger King. It's both less, and more, bizzare than it sounds. Give it a listen! (GrimBrother One 18:55:00 UTC)

Breaking In: Dave Mongan
Bungie's latest Breaking In article is an interview with Dave Mongan, a Senior Writer. It's a spectacular read. Go see - you'll learn what he does all day, where he came from, and why he stays. And you'll learn a little bit more about Bungie, the company. Great stuff! There's a thread started by ChrisTheeCrappy on our forum, if you want to chime in. (Louis Wu 14:30:39 UTC)

HCEA (Full Campaign and Cutscenes)
The Tyrant sent word of a new video he's uploaded to YouTube... it's 5 hours long. It's the entire Halo Anniversary Campaign, start to finish, including cutscenes. (There is no commentary; it's meant to be a theatrical experience.) Difficulty is set to Normal, because he believes that's what the Human-Covenant war would look like (from the Marine standpoint). It's a zero-death playthrough (I'd be disappointed if it weren't), but set up to give you the full experience. No shortcuts, no glitches, no cheats. Go experience! (Louis Wu 13:18:39 UTC)

The HaloGAF Montage (Reach Edition)
ncsuDuncan took on the task of putting together a montage video made up of clips from HaloGAF members - and last night, the 14 minute monstrosity was released. It is NOT your typical montage - while it certainly has its share of unbelievable gameplay and sniper insanity, it also has hilarious goofing around, fails that will have you in tears, and plenty of GAF in-jokes. Really well-done, even if you're not a GAF regular. Take a look! Update: Duncan re-rendered the film, fixed some blackscreen issues, smoothed out some transitions. New version is linked above.

BigTeamBattle.net vs MLG Pros
Last night, a bunch of MLG pros (mostly used to playing 4v4 games with MLG rules) joined up and played against the number one-rated BigTeamBattles.net team 'Wake Up' - watching the carnage is fascinating. Carbon's Assault streamed it last night, and you can watch his archived footage starting around 4 hours into this video. The first game (Slayer on Utopie) will show you how the best Banshee flyer in the game, coupled with a team that knows the map inside and out, can DESTROY a team of some of the best shooters in Reach. (It illustrated how important knowledge of the maps can be - and how hard it is to switch between Bloom/No-Bloom settings on the fly.) Thanks to CyReN, who posted relevant links at HaloCouncil, along with an interview with the pros after the fact. (Tom Van Sinden 20:27:54 UTC)

Expand your creativity, explore new realms
Geek and Sundry interviewed Rod Roddenberry - son of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. He loves Halo so much that he named his DOG Halo. Go watch and see what grips him about the title! (Halo content starts around 1:40.) Thanks, Elnea. (Tom Van Sinden 14:06:01 UTC)

Sangheili, B-flat
Not long ago, OboeCrazy set up a Kickstarter project to expand her Musiter offerings - she'd promised to deliver more Halo content, if funded. She was funded - and delivery starts now. She stopped in to our forum with word of the new content, and a bit of info about the future. Go read, go watch! (headline hijacked by Grim <3) (Tom Van Sinden 16:57:33 UTC)

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.

Our Future Past
Kill Screen ties 1950s architecture to video games. Beckx thinks it's a stretch. Either way, Halo gets a mention. Go read! (Tom Van Sinden 20:28:39 UTC)

The Tyrant Documentaries 20: Zara Plays Halo
The Tyrant has started a new mini-series in his Tyrant Documentaries vlog - Zara is a gamer who's never played Halo before, so Tyrant's taken her under his wing. Will she become a Halo expert before the mini-series ends? You'll have to watch to find out! (Tom Van Sinden 15:44:01 UTC)

OXM's thoughts on MC's new nemesis
OXM UK wishes they knew more about the new enemies we're going to face in Halo 4 - and because we don't have any hard data, they've decided to start speculating. The first article is up now. Thanks, ElzarTheBam (who seems to be unhappy with the speculation). (Tom Van Sinden 17:24:25 UTC)

Sackin' it Up
After closing down a whole bunch of files this afternoon, I found a note I'd made last night about the newest Mail Sack on Bungie.net - you should go read it. There are a couple of clips from the Halo 2 Limited Edition DVD, and a funny story about a Reach bug (and its resolution) that made me smile... and lots and lots and lots of other stuff. Pro Tip - don't start the video that shows 'Clarissa Explains it All' in the preview image.
