Halo's Master Chief Gets An Unreal Makeover In New Tech Showcase
7.10.2024
Unreal Engine is so good at making games look hyper realistic that it’s become a meme for a certain style of uncanny fan video showing everything from The Legend of Zelda to The Simpsons remade with ultra detailed CGI effects. Well, now Halo’s Master Chief is getting that treatment for real,...
Halo Season Two Sticks The Landing—I Told You So
21.3.2024
The season two finale of the Halo TV series does everything a video game adaptation should do and then some, proving a point I’ve been making for well over a year: This show is good.Read more
Halo Season 2 Episode 3 Brings Out The Covenant’s ‘Demon’
15.2.2024
The opening scene in Halo season 2’s third episode (titled “Visegrad”) has a telltale marker of prestige television: It’s dark as shit. As John/Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) and the rest of his crew head off to pick up the cliffhanger from episode two, I’m squinting like a grunt staring into...
Halo Season 2 Just Set Up The Franchise's Biggest Moment
9.2.2024
The second episode of Halo’s secondseason isn’t bad, by any means, but it’s not quite as memorable as the previous episode. Instead, “Sword” is a reminder that the Halo series is strongest when it focuses on the Spartan’s stories, whether it’s John’s attempts to set the record straight about what...
Halo Actor Didn’t Want Master Chief To Get Laid
19.1.2024
The Halo TV series on Paramount+ was always billed as a non-canon take on the universe and characters from the iconic franchise developed by Bungie and 343 Industries. That didn’t stop fans from lamenting the “changes” made to characters like Master Chief and Cortana—and freaking out when season...
Halo Season 2: 7 Cool Things Spotted In The First Trailer
4.12.2023
Season two of Halo’s TV adaptation is set to premiere on Paramount+ February 8, and we all got our first look over the weekend.

Cortana pro Windows definitivně skončila. Dříve, než se v Česku vůbec dočkala podpory
15.8.2023
A je to, Cortana je mrtvá. Někdejší chytrý asistent podle Microsoftu, který se na scéně poprvé objevil ve Windows 10, tak nakonec končí dříve, než jsme si jej vůbec mohli vyzkoušet v češtině.
Není to ale žádné překvapení, Microsoft totiž oznámil potupné vypnutí služby už před pár měsíci a
Ano, hlasová asistentka Cortana ještě přežívá. Microsoft ji letos definitivně vypne
5.6.2023
To, že je Cortana de facto mrtvá, je zřejmé už roky. Nabídly ji Windows 10, nikdy se příliš nerozšířila, mobilní strategie Microsoftu vybouchla a dnes už se oči veřejnosti – i Redmondských – upírají k projektům jako Bing Chat. Letos nastane definitivní a oficiální konec hlasové asistentky, jak
Bing Chat už také mluví hlasem české Vlasty. Takhle jednou mohla fungovat Cortana
24.2.2023
Kolem Bingu doplněného o umělou inteligenci se pořád něco děje. Po bouřlivém startu jej Microsoft výrazně zkrotil, omezil jeho schopnosti, ale i náladu si chatovat. Od minulého týdne odpovídá jen na 50 dotazů denně a každá relace může mít maximálně pět odpovědí. Teď to Microsoft zvýšil na 60 a 6 s
The Best And Worst Parts Of Every Halo Game
12.8.2022
Arguing over which Halo game is the best is an exercise in futility. Fact: They’re all amazing! For the past two decades, first under Bungie, then under 343 Industries, Halo has put on a master class of tone, pacing, and raw, punchy first-person gameplay. But perfection is non-existent; just...
Two Decades Later, Halo 2’s Iconic E3 Trailer Will Be Playable
7.7.2022
The coolest part of Halo 2 never made it into Halo 2. If you’re at all a fan of the series, you know exactly what I’m talking about: the “Earthcity” demo, shown off during Microsoft’s E3 presentation in 2003. That level never made it into the full release of Halo 2, but nearly two decades later,...
Gaming’s Latest ‘AI’ Woman Recycles The Usual Sexist Tropes
17.6.2022
When I first saw Ana, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds publisher Krafton’s attempt to put a face on its artificial “virtual human” technology, I was disappointed to see that this supposed Web 3.0 innovation was really just another pretty, pale girl. She’s airbrushed, but still tangible. She’s biting...
The Halo Show’s First Season Closes With Uncertainty And Promise
20.5.2022
With “Transcendence,” the ninth and final episode of the Halo show’s premiere season, a lot is uncertain. This show has been a giant experiment of taking a “spaghettified” collection of Halo games, books, comics, and other related media and funneling that into an on-screen adaptation firmly rooted...
Congrats On The Sex, Master Chief
12.5.2022
I genuinely don’t think we’re prepared for what’s coming. If you thought the discourse was A Lot when he showed ass, brace yourself: In the latest episode of the Halo show, Master Chief had sex.Read more

Halo Infinite Is Losing Its Most (Accidentally) Powerful Gun
18.4.2022
Next month, Halo Infinite is getting a welcome infusion of new content for its second season. But for all the forthcoming multiplayer maps, modes, and cosmetics, developer 343 Industries is taking something out of the campaign: the scorpion gun.Read more
Master Chief Gets Naked In The Halo Show
7.4.2022
All the discourse in the world over seeing what’s underneath Master Chief’s helmet, but not a peep over seeing what’s under the suit. Yep, that’s right: In the Halo show, Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) gets naked.Read more
Halo Infinite Actually Lets You Fly The Pelican
13.1.2022
In Halo Infinite, as in previous Halo games, you’re often carted from one key location to the next in a transport vehicle called a pelican. It’s a massive hovercraft, one you’re emphatically not supposed to pilot at any point in the campaign. Hey, doesn’t mean you can’t.Read more
Let's Talk About That Bonkers Halo Infinite Ending
6.1.2022
Despite its name, Halo Infinite is very literally finite. Like most story-driven games, 343’s barnbuster first-person shooter comes to a conclusion—and, man, it is bananas, teeing up all sorts of implications for where Halo’s narrative could go. By now, a bunch of you have seen it for yourselves....
Halo Infinite Dev Dishes About The Game’s Most Shocking Moment
29.12.2021
The most shocking moment in Halo Infinite isn’t about exploding a derelict ancient space station or accidentally awakening a once-slumbering threat. It’s a brief exchange between two main characters, one that reveals the extent to which Halo protagonist Master Chief would go to fulfill what he sees...
