Dragging back the lapsed faithful
GrimBrother One noticed an article on IGN that's worth a read - it's commentary on WHY you should be pumped for Reach. Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:32:00 UTC) (permalink)
SwordCake... mmmmm
AfroRyan and friends made cake to celebrate the Halo: Reach Beta. After looking at the pics, I think you'll agree that though the cake is pretty amazing, it's AfroRyan's 'fro that really makes the celebration. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 22:19:53 UTC) (permalink)
Blogging the Beta
pete_the_duck wrote up a fun-sounding game of SWAT on SwordBase - and annotated it with movies. Check it out! Tell him what you think, either on the blog itself or in our forum. (Louis Wu 22:07:18 UTC) (permalink)
Videosity (and more)
Boatloads of Beatificality at Bungie.net today:
- Shocktology 2 is a Halo 3 montage from Aftershock (gameplay) and TM22 (editing). Pretty stuff! (Even for an OLD game...)
- Spectacle is a Halo 3 montage from Sandman (gameplay) and SillyGoose (editing). Still old graphics, and no armor abilities, but hey - the gameplay's pretty good.
- Eamonn's Halo Reach Betatage has nice graphics and all - but the gameplay could use a bit more depth. What do you want for a game that's been out for 3 days?
- urk's summarized some key stats about beta play so far - really, really close to our first trillion seconds of playtime. (Actually, probably past it now.)
- File Under Awesome shows off a few more really cool rendered clips... did you know they're automatically uploaded to YouTube now? They are. Having trouble with Silverlight? Never fear, Bungie Pro now renders right to YouTube (effectively)! Good stuff! (And fun clips.)
Go watch! (Louis Wu 21:48:25 UTC) (permalink)
Stone Epitaph, Part Three
TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer #252 continues the Reach-based thread of the story; Reclaimer and Tran are still after Archimedes, but they're running into some trouble. (Louis Wu 16:23:08 UTC) (permalink)
Why are we here?
The latest episode of The Chronicles of ODS Steve (#69) is now live at Hawty McBloggy's - the fourth wall takes a blow. (Louis Wu 09:52:41 UTC) (permalink)
Feedback goes in the Feedback Forum
Wired's John Mix Meyer has put up a list of 5 things to fix in the Reach Beta - see if you agree with him! (Louis Wu 09:52:04 UTC) (permalink)

Halo: Reach BetaBusters Episode 1
Minime637 stopped into our forum yesterday with word of a new release from the DefendTheHouse crew - Halo: Reach BetaBusters Episode 1 continues in the vein of their previous MythBusters series to look at some of the cool things you can do (or not do) in the Halo: Reach Beta. Worth a watch! (Louis Wu 09:49:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Action Figure Theater - Double Update
I managed to forget to post about a new Halo Action Figure Theater yesterday; #203 (Left Bumper, Dude) has our fearless cast messing around with the Reach Beta goodies. Apparently, Elnea punishes carelessness with NEW episodes - #204 (Valium for Everyone) is live now. It's a nice segue back into the insanity that is the HAFT plot...
