Oh, god dammit, Microsoft, stop changing which Saturdays you’re going to air these episodes on. I nearly missed it again, but it’s clearly their bad this time. As a “plus” (if you could call it that), the entire episode was uploaded, rather than part 2 only, which makes me reviewing this harder. Oh well, time to deliver.

Wow, I almost forgot the new episode came out today, and that would’ve been completely terrible for this blog. I mean, just look at it. These come out every two weeks and nobody’s made any entries except me. As for almost screwing this up, I blame the coquito I’ve been drinking. Curse you, pagan holidays!

Contrary to popular belief, coquito is, in fact, not made of coquis or the legendary coqui water.

Inside jokes aside, worry not. I have ceased drinking the stuff to watch this 5-minute action-fest known as “The Package” (Part 1). Spoilers: MASTER CHIEF, SPARTANS FROM THE NOVELS, ARBITER FROM HALO 2-3! HYPE!

The Covenant has captured a “high-priority package”, and a Spartan squad only has 10 minutes to retrieve it. They include John-117 (better known as the “Master Chief”) and his fellow Spartans, Kelly-087, Frederic-104, Solomon-069, and Arthur-079. The Spartans hail from the novels, excluding the latter two; they’re redshirts debut characters. If they run out of time, the UNSC will simply annihilate the entire fleet alongside the package and the Spartan strike team. When the titular package is revealed, it better be something really worth it or I’ll facepalm at the opportunity to take out, you know, an entire fleet of evil genocidal aliens. (continue reading…)

Incredibly shocking news to many, but no, I’m not going blind and the Anime category is there on purpose.

Microsoft is indeed making a Halo anime DVD for release early next year, recruiting five Japanese animation studios: Production I.G., Toei Animation, BONES, Casio Entertainment, and Studio 4°C. It’s being made in the same vein as the Animatrix, or Batman: Gotham Knight.

You can see the trailer here at Gametrailers. (continue reading…)
