The Halo Movie We Deserve
So, yeah. A Halo movie. Pipe dream, right? When it comes to Hollywood, it sure seems that way. But the game’s legion of fans aren’t willing to sit around and wait for Hollywood to get in the game. Gamer Philip Kang (no relation to the Conqueror or the Klingon) created this incredible, 22-minute epic using nothing but Halo 3‘s in-game editor. Read more »
Next Best Thing to a Real Halo Movie

Microsoft just announced two new Halo releases at E3 last week. But series creator Bungie is leaving its baby in the hands of others as it sets off to create a mysterious new franchise. The two weeks of Halo goodness will (finally!) include a detailed explanation of “Bungie Aerospace,” a trademark filed by the game maker that scuttlebutt says is a code name connected to their next Read more »
10 Years of Halo
Can you believe it’s been ten whole years since the first Halo debuted as a launch title with the original Xbox? Famously intended to be a high-profile FPS for the Mac, Microsoft instead purchased developer Bungie outright, making Halo the best reason to buy an Xbox. The rest, of course, is history.

Now imagine compounding that challenge by trying to make something out of LEGO that you can actually wear. By its very nature, LEGO is far too fragile to be worn. It’s not meant for building clothes; basic human movement is more than enough to cause the bricks to come apart and shatter on the floor.

But cleverly using Technic pieces for the framework, he modeled his costume pieces to Read more »
