Podtacular 655: Haloween Creations

This week, the Community Spotlight returns with some ghoulish delight as we pass Halloween here in the states, or Halo-ween as we like to call it. The community creations do not cease to amaze us from artwork and forge creations to renders and videos. Some casting positions have been revealed for the Halo TV series confirming the Master Chief as a main recurring character, Dr. Halsey and a new character, Jenny. Sadly, this week on the Social Stream, Grim announced we will be moving onto a different position within 343 and will no longer be hosting the stream or posting the community spotlights and updates after next week. We will still be around, but not as public facing as he has been. Podcast artwork by Primordial117 on Twitter.
