Mega books has finally revealed the official box art for the Scarab coming out later this year.
I’m curious if this is in response to the finding of the set on TRU Canada and the poor quality graphic shown there?
In any event, here is the official box art: Continue reading
My hopes for Halo seen at NYCC14 are the six map for Halo 2 Anniversary and more info about the Halo 5 Guardians Beta and more FORGE info.
While 343 hasn’t specifically said so, it would make sense that the last map of Halo 2 Anniversary will be revealed at New York Comicon.

The tournament was broadcast by GameOnLLC, the very same business that I’ve hired for the pat two HFFL LANstravaganzas. Dustin, the owner of GameOn asked me if I’d like to cast this event and I readily said yes.

First, here is a screen cap of the listing (just the pertinent part): Continue reading
This past weekend, we brought a few things we’ve been working on to this massive gaming expo called PAX Prime. It happens every year right down the road, so we usually walk over and check it out. Luckily for us, thousands of you came too, and even eagerly waited in line to play Halo: The Master Chief Collection for the first time in North America. With help from our friends at Xbox, ASTRO Gaming, Skullcandy Gaming, and ESL, we set up several 4v4 stations all around the expo with multiplayer gameplay on the recently announced re-mastered version of Lockout, set the game timer, and let you play to your heart’s content (or until you hit the score limit) (or the time limit).
