'I Love Bees: Definitive Edition' Now Available!
We just mentioned it yesterday, and now it's here! The I Love Bees: Definitive Edition is now available on iTunes and a straight RSS feed. They also made available their full podcast review that starts with the trailer and tells the story - including some fascinating behind-the-scenes tidbits they've unearthed. This is a true love story to the audio drama/ARG of I Love Bees that many of us experienced here on HBO during the Halo 2 release. If you're interested in it at all, do yourself a favor and check out the page they set up for the release of this fan-forged labor of love! (MacGyver10 21:33:40 UTC)

Eric Nylund, Amazon and No Correlation
With the recent article in the New York Times about the reported working conditions at Amazon, I guess many in the games industry did a bit more Googling than they normally do. While Eric Nylund (largely known around these parts for penning 'The Fall of Reach') left Amazon in July of this year, Gamespot, IGN and others are reporting it this week as news. Eric posted on his blog that there is no correlation between the New York Times article and his leaving the Amazon Games Studio and that he only cried once while working there. Thanks for starting the conversation Apollo! (MacGyver10 21:17:49 UTC)

Halo 5 Campaign Twice the Length of Halo 4
According to the folks at Gamesradar, the new campaign with Halo 5: Guardians will be twice the length of Halo 4's campaign! According to what they were told at Gamescom, it started out even bigger that twice Halo 4's length, but you'll still spend quality time in human, forerunner and covenant worlds!

The Lore of Halo Fleet Battles
HaloWaypoint user Onyx81 transcribed the lore bits from the new Halo Fleet Battles tabletop game that recently came out. Zofinda started a discussion on our forum on the implications to what we know of the Fall of Reach, and how this new bit of Halo history might affect what we've already accepted as canon or found conflicting.

New Halo Fleet Battles ships and Deal on Starter Set
We've mentioned the Halo Fleet Battles tabletop game (which is out now) from Spartan Games before, but Morhek on our forum noticed the community at Spartan Games has already discovered some new ship models coming soon!
While checking out their forum, I also noticed a special edition of the tabletop game with $40 worth of extra ships for free will be made available July 30th through August 2nd at GenCon in Indiana and online next week! Might be a great time to buy if you've been wanting the game! (MacGyver10 15:24:22 UTC)

So Chief, Tell Me About Your Mother
The Escapist recently started a new series with video game characters spending some time on the couch of a therapist. Our mjolnir wearing hero spends some time talking about teabags and his dearly-departed, AI sidekick in an episode from last month. Thanks General Vagueness! (MacGyver10 14:05:32 UTC)

I want my, I want my, I want my Splitscreen Play
Forbes has an opinion piece on why Halo 5 can't pass over split-screen... it's more of a plea than a solid argument, but a lot of fans feel this way. Go give it a read!

No Split Screen or LAN for Halo 5: Guardians
I believe we might have seen some hints at this before, but ArsTechnica has confirmed there will be no split-screen of any kind in our new Halo adventure. There's also the talk of no LAN support which is a downer for the communities (including our own) that get together to play Halo in person at times. Thanks for the heads up uberfoop!

Lumberjackals Hate Trees
Rockslider is back with some more H1 goodies. The video starts out with a bang and has plenty more fun and freaky gameplay pulled from the Halo game that started it all! (MacGyver10 19:02:19 UTC)

Not the Posters We Deserve, but the Posters We Needed
Quirel showed off on our forum some pretty amazing '21st-century movie posters' as he put it, of the Chief and Locke! Why again aren't theaters using TV screens for movie posters yet? (MacGyver10 17:36:37 UTC)

Halo and Hand Cramps
Looks like TeamBeyond landed a pretty sweet interview with Josh Holmes of 343 Industries going into great detail on the new Warzone multiplayer mode, Req Packs, Arena multiplayer and more. Some of the highlights (or lowlights in some cases) are spartan customization, further req card explanation, no offline LAN support and on-map powerups are returning. Bounce-A-Gon put up a summary and started a discussion in our forum as well. (MacGyver10 16:08:08 UTC)

GrifballHub needs you NOW!
Kal Belgarion reminds us that tomorrow is the last day of the GrifballHub Kickstarter campaign to fund a Grifball booth at RTX this year. As of this writing, with 27 hours to go, they're at $11,675 of their needed $11,750 - just $75 short! Can you help? Update: Less than 5 minutes after I posted this, someone pledged $76. They just hit $11,751 - full funding! That's awesome. There are stretch goals, though, so don't stop now! (Louis Wu 23:54:52 UTC)

Steal My Kill
This is so six weeks ago... but it made me laugh, so I'm posting it. The Warp Zone (yeah, they like One Direction) has a parody of OD's "Steal My Girl" that's pretty good. Plus, there's a Grunt Plushy in there! Go watch. (SEspider posted it on our forum a couple of weeks ago - but it was STILL a month old then. We gotta start keeping up!) (Louis Wu 23:52:58 UTC)

L-058: A Halo Fan Film (Round 2)
Back in October, we posted a note about a Kickstarter campaign to fund a Halo fan film called 'L-058', based on Linda, a Spartan-II who showed up first in Halo: Fall of Reach (the book). They got 62 people on board - but didn't raise enough money to hit their goal ($21,000). A couple of weeks ago, they fired up a page on Indigogo - they're trying again, and this time they're asking for half as much money. Check out the page - they've got some concept art up, details on where the money will go, and more. If 500 people shoot 'em $20, they'll be good to go! Thanks to Diego (who contributed to the original Kickstarter campaign, and has been keeping an eye on them since) for the heads-up!
