Reclaimer Thursday
TTL Demag0gue, undeterred by the flood of Reach info, continues his week-long Reclaimer update; today's episode (Ambush, #247) shows the Cavalcade looking to turn some tables... (Louis Wu 15:17:29 UTC) (permalink)
Crazy Sausage Baby
Goodness. The same guy who immortalized Geoff Keighley's rather odd question about Battle bros is back, with a remix of the first Reach ViDoc. I'm gonna have trouble getting that out of my head... thanks, Zeouterlimits. (Louis Wu 15:05:24 UTC) (permalink)
Armor bonuses from value-added Reach packages
ElzarTheBam found a link on the Bungie Forums to an image in Major Nelson's Flickr stream - part of his Halo Reach set. Seems to show off the Flaming Armor effect you'll get if you buy the Legendary edition. (You can also see a pic of the Elite Officer armor available in the Limited Edition.) Lessee... one standard edition, to make sure my special editions don't have their discs scratched - $60. One Limited Edition, so I can dress up in style for Invasion... $80. One Legendary Edition, to get that Flaming armor I've always hankered for... $150. Filling Microsoft's coffers... priceless. Update: We're getting an awful lot of mail from folks who want to correct the impression that you have to buy both the Limited and Legendary Editions in order to get both armor add-ons; this was a tongue-in-cheek shot at marketing that seems to have gone awry. (It's much less funny if I list only the first and last items.) You do NOT have to buy both value-added editions to get everything - the Legendary Edition includes EVERYTHING that's in the Limited Edition, plus some. Sorry for the confusion.

You could probably have your own made - but realize it'll cost almost as much as your iPhone... Update: Myyke has added some pricing info and a shot of the final proof for his artwork. (Louis Wu 10:22:44 UTC) (permalink)
