Machinima Monday: Seraph

One of our favorite Halo 5 machinimators has released the first act of their latest project, Seraph. This detective thriller is certain to entertain machinima fans who are more keen on story-telling than only action. We don’t know how many acts there are, but we’ll be keeping an eye on this one closely.

Wrapping up our final book of the year, we take a look at the first part of Halo: Broken Circle. Taking place over 3000 years ago in the current Halo timeline, this book takes a look at the earliest days of the Covenant during the time the Writ of Union was being signed between the Sangheili and the San’Shyuum and the events transpiring to a sect of Sangheili breaking off in the belief that joining the Covenant was dishonorable. We also talk about the latest feedback and reactions to Reach on MCC and take a look at some community creations!

Podtacular 709: Thankful of Halo

Although we recorded this podcast in anticipation of it coming out before Thanksgiving, due to the delay of the previous episode, this one got delayed as well. In addition, Dust Storm’s audio wasn’t set up correctly to record, so we’re stuck with stream audio on his side. Since the previous episode was long, we took a shorter approach to cover what we’re thankful for relating to Halo and go over the latest Community Spotlight.

Podtacular 708: Final Outpost Log

Apologies for this episode taking so long to release. Various issues arose gathering recordings and finding time to edit this show. We’re going to change the way we do big round-table discussions going forward so we try to avoid these long delays in the future. With that said, let’s get into the episode!

Though Halo: Outpost Discovery left us about two and a half months ago, we are still finding things to talk about. This will be our last Outpost related podcast however. Joining Dust Storm and Godzilla T this week, we have returning guests Toa Freak, Sovth, Laird & Bobby, and new guests HUNGRYxB3AR, Legacy B312 & Daemon Zod to talk about what we, as attendees to Outpost Discovery, though of the experience. We also take time to talk briefly about the latest news regarding the cast and backstory of the Halo TV Show.

Halo has had quite a few innovative and impactful marketing campaigns for game launches, some of the more memorable being Hunt the Truth, ilovebees, Iris and Believe. With Halo Infinite launching in just about a year, we asked you, our listeners, what kind of marketing you would like to see for Halo Infinite. There’s a lot of similar responses, so let us know if there’s anything you think didn’t get addressed. We’re happy to formally have Late Night Gaming on this episode for this discussion. HCS also celebrates 5 years of providing competitive Halo experiences and lays out what to expect for when Infinite launches next year.
