We’ve also got the latest news around Halo 2 Anniversary flighting on PC to discuss, last week’s community spotlight and of course, your regular update on community happenings!

Another Monday, another Machinima Monday. The last few weeks have focused on standalone videos, but this weeks Machinima Monday highlight focuses on an entire series. This Halo 3 Machinima series is named ‘Spriggs’.
‘Spriggs’ was created by the Running Gun Studio. Unfortunately, this studio hasn’t uploaded for over 10 years as of the time this piece releases, but their epic content is luckily kept alive thanks to the archive that is the internet. ‘Spriggs’ is a long running 21 episode Machinima series that combines comedy with a serious story. It has a very classic Machinima style to it that the older games like Halo 3 really help cement.
The description for the first episode of ‘Spriggs’ is as follows:
Episode One of our new Halo Machinima series. Spriggs was created by Running Gun Productions under Microsoft’s “Game Content Usage Rules”
The description sadly doesn’t reveal much about the series, although that may be a good thing. It gives the many new viewers a chance to experience the series without any prior knowledge. There is also a ton of behind the scenes videos for the ‘Spriggs’ series that I’d personally recommend checking out.
Sadly the original studios website and the website for the Machinima are both long since gone, but the video’s are still alive and strong on YouTube, so check out the entire series either in the playlist or on the channel.

Machinima Monday is back at it again, bringing fan made Halo Machinima to the masses. This weeks Machinima Monday highlight goes to a video named ‘The Professional’.
‘The Professional’ was created by the Halo Collective, which is self described as the place for “Anything and Everything Halo”. ‘The Professional’ is actually a part of a long series of videos, some easier to follow than others. Luckily most of the videos are separate topics and don’t tend to follow onto each other, so you don’t have to stress too much about understanding a story to enjoy the humour.
The description for ‘The Professional’ is as follows:
He’s skilled. He’s proficient. He’s got you in his sights. And most of all, he’s MLG.
The description says a lot, I know, but that’s kind of the point. Short and sweet descriptions are common for this series, mainly due to comedy being the focus. All in all, the 20 total videos in ‘The Professional’ playlist sure do include some wacky and wonderful videos. Be sure to check them out.

Another Monday, another Machinima. This weeks Machinima Monday highlight goes to Halo Movie, rather than a series. This Halo movie is named ‘The Assumptions.’
‘The Assumptions’ was created by Herogameplayz, Herogameplayz creates short Halo movie Machinima, rather than a lengthy series or two. These short films focus on various different stories and have their own comedy elements thrown in.
The description for ‘The Assumptions’ is as follows:
The story of our lives am I right ? The assumptions that come from our parents whenever we’re out in public with our friends or sitting next to them in class can be a bit extreme, but deep down we know our parents really do care for us. But maybe this time there a tab bit more than meets the eye.
It’s clear from the video content and the description of the video that Herogameplayz is a very light-hearted and fun individual who loves to create Halo content. I’d fully recommend checking out more of their videos, as they’re guaranteed to provide a good watch.
