Canon Fodder: Texas Toast

This is a reblog from HaloWaypoint:

By GrimBrotherOne

Grim tidings to you all, canonheads. Hopefully you all had a fabulous holiday weekend and now find yourself looking ever forward to all the Halo we’ve got in store for fans this year. This Canon Fodder is lovingly crafted within the WiFi realms of both the Las Vegas and San Antonio airports as I prepare to spend the next few days in the Lone Star State playing the role of GrimBestman One for one of my dearest friend’s lifetime co-op celebration. As my mind dithered around all the potential stories I could bring up when the time comes to toast, I couldn’t help but smile a bit as I passed another traveler wearing the Master Chief across his chest proudly. “Nice shirt.” I told him. “Hey thanks, you too!” he replied, directing his attention to the Halo 4 Global Championship shirt I’ve been wearing for the past however many hours. It was a pleasant interaction between two Halo fans, and it served as a poignant reminder that amidst the tireless efforts poured into both creation as well as curation, we at 343 Industries are still at the heart of it all, fans.

HUNTtheTRUTH: Episode 03 Critical Condition

HUNTtheTRUTH banner

Conversations with retired military paint very different pictures of John. More questions arise about John’s home planet and his involvement in a violent training incident. The cracks in the official account widen, and Benjamin is drawn in.

Have a listen.

      Episode 03. CRITICAL CONDITION - Keegan-Michael Key

Okay, before you read on, I am letting you know that I’ll be discussing this episode and there are spoilers. So, if you haven’t listened to it and don’t want to yet know, then stop reading this article, until you’ve listened to this episode. Continue reading

HUNTtheTRUTH: John Dead or Alive?

The official XBOX twitter account tweeted the following text along with the pic from the latest HUNTtheTRUTH campaign pic:

John Alive or Dead

Okay, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, if 343 kills off Master Chief, I’m going to be pissed. He IS Halo!

If they concoct some ridiculous story that the man in the armor has never been that ‘John’ but someone else, again, they will have made a huge mistake.  Continue reading

Canon Fodder Issue 18: Clarity & Grace

By GrimBrother One

ISSUE 18

Greetings! Welcome back to Canon Fodder. I assume everyone had a smooth week with no oddities and absurdities thrown their way? No? Excellent, then let’s get started. This week we’ve got another Community Q&A, where myself and a few members of the Franchise Team lock ourselves in the hidden and dusty 343 Lore Chambers armed with nothing but arcane knowledge, tired typing fingers, and chocolate. Well that and sweet tea – the drink of the gods – which keeps this Florida-born Grim full of more inspiration than perspiration. Before we begin, I wanted to talk briefly about how to best go about increasing your chances to get a question answered. I supposed I could also title this list “how to guarantee your question won’t get picked,” but let’s stay focused on the positives! Here are a few tips:

A new category added to sidebar: HUNTtheTRUTH

Since it looks like there are going to be a lot more entries for this, I wanted to make it easier for you all to find the HUNTtheTRUTH (HTT) articles I’ve posted on the blog.

Go to the sidebar on the main page. Click on the button for ‘categories’. Scroll down. Just under the HaloWaypoint link is the sub-category for HUNTtheTRUTH. Click that and you’ll find all of the related articles. I’ll keep adding to this category as new HTT information presents itself.

HUNTtheTRUTH Another clue or a misdirection?

As of this writing, I can not corroborate the following two graphics coming from 343/Halo.

These were supposedly tweeted out by a ‘ghost’ twitter account and @Halo favorited it. However, I checked their account and could not find the favorite. So take these with a grain of salt. If /when I get corroborating links/evidence, I’ll post that information in this article. For now, treat it as a possible fan entry into the HTT campaign. Continue reading
