The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Story of the Forerunners: The Ascendant Justice Blog

Through Xbox 360 Fanboy and the Bungie weekly update I recently found the above linked blog, Ascendant Justice. The author has painstakingly and thoughtfully compiled the story of the Forerunners from all the information gleaned from the Halo 3 terminals as well as tidbits from other Halo campaigns and lore. The story is not only a great addition to the Halo universe, but is extremely well-written. The author is careful to not turn speculation into fact and notes every part of the story that remains canonically uncertain. If you are a fan of Halo fiction, you need to read this blog.

He (vociferous) also did a very good piece on Halo's multiplayer: "A brief and opinionated look at the evolution of Halo’s time-honored multiplayer - its twists, its turns and its future…"
