Machinima Tutorial: Creating an Epic Battle Scene
Timgie stopped in to announce a new video release - it's a tutorial showing how to build a Reach machinima-based battle using Theater mode, a couple of characters, and After Effects. Pretty useful! (Louis Wu 16:35:46 UTC)

Aftermath (and Flushing Toilet)
Timgie stopped in to let people know about Aftermath, a new Halo 3 machinima he's put together. Poignant. (He's also got a new episode of Reach Customz up, focusing on a pretty fun-looking gametype - but this one was only announced at Halo Waypoint.) (Louis Wu 18:44:35 UTC)

Halo Babies - back on the web
So yesterday, Mig stopped by our forum with a link to a pretty cool on-stage proposal from mrsmiley, who has played a number of important roles in the Halo community over the years. (Congrats, Matt!) The discussion led to the realization that mrsmiley's old site, Halo Babies, has been offline for some time - which meant that the cool comics he and Joel Casebeer did over a 5-year stretch were gone. Sadness! But then Mig reminded me that smiley had put the entire archive online for a little while, back in 2008, and I'd grabbed it at that time... so this morning, I put up a local archive of the strips. If you've never read these - check 'em out! (If you have no idea what Halo Babies are, here's our archive of Bungie's original announcement in 2002 - and an Episode Guide that came out about a year later.) (Louis Wu 22:02:51 UTC)

Decline, Part 1
Prime999r stopped in to announce Decline, Part 1 - a French machinima from Fun House Studios. (There are English subtitles - but the best parts of this project are language-independent.) Fantastic cinematography, great set design - really well-done! Part 2 will be out next week.

Bungie hires a new Community Manager
It's heartwarming when a longtime Halo fan realizes a dream. Today, Bungie announced that the position of Community Manager (okay, Assistant Community Manager) has been filled... by a name that should be familiar to anyone who reads this page. Congratulations to TTL XerxdeeJ, who founded the Tied the Leader clan and gave players looking for a Good Game a place to call home. His flock has just grown exponentially! (Also, it looks like he's just DeeJ now. Work for Bungie, lose your letters.) (Louis Wu 21:55:37 UTC)

Blackstone Log 2
Lordstemplar1 announced Blackstone Log 2 (it's been a little while; we told you about the TRAILER for this project more than two and a half years ago). Worth watching, though - nicely filmed! (Takes a few bits from inspirations like Aliens, Predator, and Halo itself...) Go see. (Louis Wu 15:52:22 UTC)

Glasslands In Stores Now. HBO Coverage BLOWOUT!!!
In case you didn't realize, Tuesday, October 25, 2011 was the date the Halo: Glasslands hit the store shelves and doorsteps of excited Halo fiction fans everywhere. Glasslands is penned wonderfully by the "reliable Karen Traviss", and gives fans their first real, sweet taste of life in the Halo Universe following the epic events of Halo 3. In order to better serve the community with complete coverage of this incredible installment to the series, let us provide some more details...
- In case you really want the book, but don't know what it looks like, here is the cover
- In case you don't know what Karen Traviss looks like, here you go.
- For you Press Release fans, here is the Official News Announcement on Halo Waypoint.
- On the release date itself, Tor Books also posted an article that talks about the book with statements from both author Karen Traviss and Frank O'Connor from 343 Industries.
- "But Grim, I just can't pick up the book right now and read it because it hasn't come out yet/I don't have the money/I'm allergic to books/etc. What do I do?!" Fear not! If you haven't read them already, here are the first two chapters, featured at Tor's website and Halo Waypoint. We've got your back, yo!
- Wondering what other books are out there? Here's a selection of other Halo books you might have missed out on because we didn't front-page them.
- You can find some great discussions already going on about the book by people who were sneaky enough to have already known about its release and read through it already. Those devious buggers! If you don't mind the spoilers, you can find threads here, here, and here.
By now, hopefully you have some idea of the gravity of the situation. New Halo fiction, people. If it's out in your region, go buy it. If it's not yet, go get in line. We'll be updating you further as more Halo: Glasslands news comes in, at a fast and furious pace I won't doubt! (GrimBrother One 11:16:47 UTC)

A Fistful of Arrows - The End.
I'm thrilled (and a little sad) to announce that Leviathan has finished A Fistful of Arrows, his epic (and yes, I'm using that word correctly) tale following Jun after the events of Halo: Reach. The last time we mentioned the main comic was just before PAX - he was up to page 57. The tale ends on page 77 (yes, he made sure that would happen), and I can't imagine a better way to finish it. You can read the final act on our forum (he's provided a helpful summary of events up to that point), or on his dedicated site - or, if you remember where you left off, you can jump right in at Page 58. Whatever you choose - read this. It's a fantastic story, with fantastic artwork. (When you're finished, there are some credits, and a summary of what's still to come, in this post.)

Prophecy Act 1 (Director's Cut)
Lordstemplar1 stopped in to announce that Dispatch Films has posted Prophecy, Act 1 (a remake of an older series), with Director's commentary. I ran into trouble with the video portion of the film (audio was fine), but switching browsers fixed the problem. It clocks in at a hefty 16 minutes - go check it out! (Louis Wu 12:56:07 UTC)

What do Queen and Halo have in common?
FoxmanFX noticed a new video from William Shatner, who released a 'Spoken Word' album of classic rock music. His treatment of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody has at least one, and maybe two Halo nods - the video starts with a piece that tips its hat to the Halo 3 Announce Trailer... and ends with one that could be considered an homage to the opening of Halo 3. Is Shatner a Halo 3 fan? It would appear so! (Side note: this is one of the oddest things I've seen this week.) Update: Got a photo taken at the G-Phoria Awards in 2005 that might suggest where that connection might have come from... (Louis Wu 21:03:17 UTC)

Free Candy
urk stopped by with a very, very cool present - a link to Bungie's Facebook page, with a collection of pumpkin templates whipped up by Lorraine McLees. We haven't announced a Guilt o' Lantern contest this year - but urk is taunting me for that, so... if you guys wanna play, maybe we can work something out. (Time's getting tight, though, so...)

Hang 'em High - Official Press Release
343 sent along the official press release for Hang 'em High - go read about it, along with all the other goodies they announced recently. I've also included 9 extremely high-res versions of the promo screenshots (6400x3600) for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see the map in motion, Kotaku's Brian Crecente filmed some Hang 'em High gameplay off the screen (with his phone) at NYCC this weekend (thanks, ElzarTheBam). (Louis Wu 18:02:35 UTC)

Fans Were Given Choices, ATLAS Shrugged, and 12pm Said Hello
Yesterday evening turned out to be a pretty good news night on the Halo front, with the New York City Comic Con yielding some nice tidbits...
- 343 Industries formally announced the inclusion of High Noon/Hang 'Em High to the lineup of maps coming out with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Check out the IGN Interview with Max Hoberman from Certain Affinity.
- Also shown off was some of the very cool new upgrades and features coming soon to Halo Waypoint, across all mediums. Gamespot has a feature previewing what's coming, including a very interesting new program called "ATLAS", which streams data from any multiplayer game you are in to an app on your Windows Mobile Phone in real time, potentially giving you an armored-leg up on the competition. Also discussed are the new Custom Challenges that you can create for your friends to attempt in Halo: Reach. Sweet!
- HBO Member Simpsons Rule also left us an awesome write-up on our forums detailing his first-hand experience and impressions at the Halo Panel from the NYCCC. If you weren't there, and want a great fan's perspective, definitely check this out and offer your own thoughts!
We will of course be adding more as the various news sites start making their own reports, but until now, enjoy! (GrimBrother One 18:13:50 UTC)

Waypoint Wealth
Some good video content (and more) over at Halo Waypoint today. Puckett's Picks 4 is another Final Boss/Warriors matchup from MLG Dallas - always amazing to watch gameplay at this level. If MLG CTF action isn't your bag, maybe you'll enjoy Grifball Highlight Frenzy 7, the top 10 moments video for September from Grifball Hub. Not interested in videos at all? How about news of the release of Halo HeroClix? 45 figures bring Halo to your tabletop. Go catch up!
