After our little rant last week, we’re talking about one of the things that excites us the most with Infinite, having the Banished being the main antagonist. We thoroughly enjoyed the story told in Halo Wars 2 and the possibility of continuing that story in Infinite is a great way to experience the Banished in a new way and some differences fighting them compared to the Covenant. As usual, we have our Halo and community updates as well.
Machinima Monday is here once again to feature an incredible Halo themed Machinima. This week, we’ve got a treat from the well known Halo content creator Ascend Hyperion. The name of this featured Machinima is ‘The Halo Discord In A Nutshell’, so the name really speaks for itself.
The description of this Machinima fits almost perfectly with the title. It goes as follows:
The official server for you to complain about Halo and get banned in the process!
Pretty much just what we imagined it to be like right? The description is just a taste of what’s in store though, as the actual Machinima really knocks it out of the park with its recreation of what being in a Halo Discord server is like.
The comedy combines various character types and Halo fan stereotypes to achieve peak comedy. This large range of characters means there will always be at least one character in there that someone can relate to.
If you liked this Machinima, I’d seriously recommend checking out more from Ascend Hyperion. Ascend makes a ton of none Machinima related content too, so there’s always new and interesting things to watch.
The past couple of weeks has definitely shaken up the community with the announcement of coatings replacing primary and secondary armor colors and the departure of Chris Lee from 343. While we still don’t know a lot about Halo Infinite and the inner workings of 343, the community is in an uproar and people are trying to spell doom for Halo Infinite. With that said, we’ve taken this episode to talk about how we should respond to this news and any future news we may hear about game development or employee changes. It is time for the Halo community to stop being divided and stirring up dread and find ways we can support people with different opinions and show support for the studio in these challenging times. We all have our concerns and we want to see Infinite succeed, so we hope you’ll listen to the whole show and join us in being a positive influence for the Halo community.
It’s the season of Haloween and there’s some spooky stuff happening in MCC, infecting playlists, challenges and undoubtedly, community content to come. Joining us for our little adventure though the latest community update and content is Andrew from TeamRespawn, on of the more well-known Halo Wars communities. Although the RTS games aren’t 343’s main focus area lately, there’s surprisingly a solid player-base logging in and playing matches every week.
It’s Machinima Monday time, in which we have Machinimas, on a Monday. Makes sense right? Well this week we have something a little different than usual. This week, we have a meme.
If you’ve seen the title of this Machinima, then chances are you know the meme. If not, don’t worry, I’ll link the meme at the end. Anyways, ‘Lemme Smash’ in this case is a Halo Machinima that’s basically a funny recreation of the original meme, with pure laughs at its core. It’s not a direct copy of the original meme either, which just makes it even funnier.
Unfortunately, whilst I’d usually put a bit more information and a description for the Machinima, I can’t do too much in this case. If I speak about the video content, it’ll ruin the video content, so instead, feel free to let us know your thoughts about it on one of our socials after you’ve finished it.
This first video isn’t actually the only ‘Lemme Smash’ Halo Machinima created by The Vengeful ‘Vadam. There’s actually an entire playlist of them totalling in at 7 different ‘Lemme Smash’ videos. You can check out that playlist here.
As with most Halo content creators, The Vengeful ‘Vadam has a ton of Halo related content on their YouTube channel, so I’d recommend checking those out. As promised, here’s the link to the original meme video, right here.
It’s been about three months since we last covered the latest fan project updates so it’s time to dust off the news from fan games and fan mods across the Halo community. It certainly a bit of a smaller update this time around, no doubt to school and universities starting back up, the pandemic and general life priorities, but we were treated with a very special sneak peek during the live recording of this show. Ignivirex from Project Autumn surprised us by dropping an exclusive first look at some of the armor that’s been developed for the project. We’re certainly excited to see development across all these projects, and if you’d like to hear from any of the dev teams, let us know and we’ll get them on the show! As always, we go through the normal gambit of Halo and community news.
Machinima Monday is here once again to grace the internet with an awesome Halo themed Machinima feature. This weeks feature has a name that’s all too close to home these days. That’s right, the Halo feature of this week is called ‘Lockdown’.
‘Lockdown’ was uploaded by EnderKnight and created by EnderKnightStudios. There was a large amount of talent that came together for this project and it certainly shows. The episode combines a lot of comedy with a serious story, so that’s of course a fun combination to watch.
The description for ‘Lockdown’ is as follows:
Agent Orange, a strange but effective soldier, is tasked with recovering intel for the C.I.A. from Lt. Jameson and his cyber terrorists…..
One thing that really helps ‘Lockdown’ shine is the camera work. It really captures the serious tone of the story and helps keep the story seem professional in between the fun and comedic dialogue.
EnderKnight has a whole host of Halo Machinimas and other Halo related videos on their channel, so if you liked ‘Lockdown’ I’d fully recommend checking out their other Halo content.
