We have returned from the world’s largest game show. We gave you a brand new look at Halo 2: Anniversary, and if you were with us in Germany, you likely got hands on with the all-new multiplayer. We braved absurd crowds and lines, and most of us made it home alive. I have returned home with a terrible fever, which is why today’s Bulletin is coming in one day late. Thank you for your patience, friends. The below picture helps to shed light on why we barely survived gamescom. Continue reading

A very cool Halo homage/pro video
First, before you watch the vid, I want to say that ˆ’m not fond of the name of the vid. That being “Halo: The Return”. Halo never left, some of it’s fans did. Yes, we could converse about how Halo changed, but we’ll save that for another time.
In the meantime, take a look at this homage vid that shows some sick pro plays and builds up to the reveal of the Master Chief Collection. Continue reading

Lots of fun was had, so take a look and read on about a great Halo weekend. Continue reading
I had a huge score of Halo Mega Bloks over the weekend!

Spartan DeMarco cosplay!!
I found this on twitter via the 405th’s twitter feed. One of their members, GliderX, made this awesome Spartan DeMarco cosplay.
I’m totally jealous (in a good way). Man, if I had the height and slim body for cosplay like this, I’d TOTALLY do it.
Cosplay on this level takes a lot of work and dedication. Kudos to GliderX for an amazing DeMarco!
If you’re interested in cosplaying as a spartan, check out the 405th HERE.
