The Bomb
Pretty odd movie on Bungie's Comm Chatter today - 'The Bomb' is the latest film from Tommy92L, and while it's only 3 minutes long, it manages to draw you in to the ending. Give it a watch! (Louis Wu 18:13:10 UTC) (permalink)
Game Changer
Thanks to XerxdeeJ for the heads-up about a pretty cool Reach Multiplayer Trailer analysis, done by TTL's Hoovaloov. Rather than step through the trailer frame by frame, as others have done, he's taken a more systematic approach, and grouped changes and intriguing bits by content, rather than reveal time. It's very comprehensive, and I'd say that he's done a great job with his guesses. (His insights into game modes are pretty unique - but upon reflection, make an awful lot of sense.) Absolutely worth a watch! (You should definitely watch this in HD - it makes a huge difference in seeing some of the smaller features he points out.) (Louis Wu 16:22:20 UTC) (permalink)
Mythic Brawl: Live
We forgot to mention this yesterday, but Mythic Brawl is once again the Double XP Weekend playlist. Ranked FFA play - though if you're looking for those last few pesky MP Achievements, realize that this list seems to be full of very high-level players either building up accounts to sell, or simply donging on noobs for the fun of it. Shame, really... (Louis Wu 14:13:09 UTC) (permalink)
Rorschach Inkblot Test - Longshore
Hawty McBloggy is back with another Rorschach Inkblot Test - she's provided some of the best answers from the last one of these (which looked at Orbital), and now brings you the heatmap from Longshore. What do you see? (Louis Wu 14:10:50 UTC) (permalink)
It's About Standards
Today's Ctrl+Alt+Del comes back to Halo - amazing what a little flying pack can do. Thanks to Hawty McBloggy, and Toxic Mayhem.

Firefight Friday: My Way or the Highway
FyreWulff has set up another Firefight Friday - this one is called 'My Way or the Highway', and is available in all difficulties on the map Last Exit. Go read about it - and see if you can do it! (The site is getting out of beta at the end of this month - and participants up to that point will get a special beta mark in their profile on the launched site.)

Project Lumoria
Wow. There've been a few forays into single-player gameplay with Halo: Custom Edition - but mostly they've been recreations of the standard Halo PC campaign levels, or small tests. Check out Lumoria - a full campaign experience from the TM Mapping Team. It's not available for download yet, but the link above should show you where they're going. Exciting stuff!

Noble Team Portrait - In Progress
Justinian is putting together a new piece of Halo artwork, and wants some feedback on the WIP. Swing by and take a look! (Louis Wu 14:05:55 UTC) (permalink)
It's not all wine and roses
There's another post up on the Reach Developer Blog - always fun when an engine breaks! Great pic of the studio - a surprising number of people at work at 11pm. (Louis Wu 14:04:40 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Eight new pieces are up in this week's Fan Fiction update - solid collection! Go read 'em. (Louis Wu 14:01:33 UTC) (permalink)
Charity Auction Figure Sale - moving to eBay
Seraph XXVII stopped in to mention that the remaining action figures he's selling for a couple of good causes will go up on eBay tomorrow - he gave HBOers first crack at buying this stuff, but now it's time to offer it all to the general public. We'll keep an eye on this!
