This would have been posted yesterday. However, I hurt my back, so I wasn’t able to do any blogging. So apologies for the day late article on this.
This particular issue doesn’t have any of our normal cadre of heroes. Instead the story is about a backwater planet after it’s been glassed. The issue goes back and forth between what happened in the past and what is going on ‘today’. Below will be a discussion of the issue, so SPOILER ALERT! Continue reading

Mshak sent me this picture of some UNSC recruitment posters featuring the Master Chief, all tagged to hell. The relationship between Spartans and ODST has always been a little shaky, but this seems like something else entirely.

ISSUE 20
Salutations, story-seekers! Welcome to another edition of Canon Fodder. This week is a particularly special week as the eagerly anticipated Halo: Spartan Strike is now available! That’s right Spartans, it’s time to don your GEN2 Mjolnir and grab the nearest Windows device, iPhone or iPad, or log into your Steam account. Seeing that our focus around these parts is a more narrative-base one, I thought we’d take the chance to shed a little extra light and provide a foundation for how this new title fits into the overall Halo story. Fortunately, Halo: Spartan Strike has nothing to do with UNSC labor disputes. Continue reading

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.

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.
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
Below is an entry from the HUNTtheTRUTH a campaign:
Greetings from Castellaneta
Here’s a postcard Walker sent me from Castellaneta. The “sunny side” of Saturn looks nice. Not a bad place to retire.
The official XBOX twitter account tweeted the following text along with the pic from the latest HUNTtheTRUTH campaign pic:
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
A new entry into the HUNTtheTRUTH campaign has been added. This time we see a pic that shows the result of a planet that has been glassed by the Covenant.
The following is a comment by Benjamin “Benji” Giraud:
I’m redressing the previous article of the same name (but first part). The reason being one of my readers, Josh Addie, has presented some information that could prove to be more useful in deciphering the code of John’s death as seen by the following graphic:

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:
