So? Is it for reals?
Jumping the gun or what? (Ding 20:54:00 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Vids
Last thievery from Bungie's Comm Chatter - a pair of montages. Rezilient released Thunder (a minitage), and a big group released 'A Mile High', a campaign montage. Both were fun to watch! (Well, some of the effects in AMH were headache-inducing...) (Louis Wu 17:26:45 UTC) (permalink)
The Long Haul: Day One (Page 4)
Adam Susskind released The Long Haul, Day One, Page 4 today (geez, urk, it's like I steal all my news from you) - nice to see he's keeping to a schedule! (Louis Wu 17:26:23 UTC) (permalink)
Best of Halo 3's Forge
Forge Hub is running another Best of Halo 3's Forge contest - but unlike the ones that have come before, you're not picking from maps released in the last 6 months, you're picking from all maps ever made with Forge. Full rules are up at Forge Hub. Go play! (And again, thanks, urk.) (Louis Wu 17:25:41 UTC) (permalink)
TRR with Burnie Burns - Rescheduled
Looks like The Running Riot podcast, scheduled to air earlier this week, has been rescheduled for next Tuesday, August 9. Don't miss it - Rooster Teeth's Burnie Burns is a funny guy. Thanks again, urk. (Louis Wu 17:24:54 UTC) (permalink)
Yeah, that black Reach controller? No dice.
Followup on the black Reach controller that surfaced yesterday: we mentioned then that KP (who works as a content manager for Xbox.com) had asked around, found that nobody had heard of it, and called it a probable fake. Well, he's gone a little deeper now - it turns out that screenshots of the device are, indeed, on Microsoft's ProSource site (an official PR site)... but that the Hardware division has no knowledge of it at all (the pictures will likely be coming down soon). KP speculates that it was probably a concept product that accidentally got uploaded. Bummer! (I liked it.) (Louis Wu 16:54:09 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu: Augustus
FyreWulff has your latest Fire Team Zulu challenge queued up and ready to play: the name 'Augustus' should clue you in that this one is Brute-related. (Bruté-related?) Crater (Day), Silver Skulls, Heroic - get cracking! (Louis Wu 12:24:02 UTC) (permalink)
Aussie Help Needed for Reach Project
Australia fansite Halo Reach is running a nationwide (Australia-wide) project that they need your help with, if you live down under. They want to cover the atmosphere of as many Reach midnight launch events as possible - so they need you to take pictures, or video. Read their news post (and the corresponding thread) for more info - and make Reach's launch in Australia a truly memorable one! (Louis Wu 12:20:45 UTC) (permalink)
Alone in the Dark
HaloChief89 created a new piece of Spartan artwork - in two versions. Check out Alone in the Dark! (Louis Wu 12:17:42 UTC) (permalink)
Three Red Lights Podcast: Episode 149
A couple of days ago, I spent some time chatting with a few IGN editors on an episode of their Three Red Lights podcast. Yesterday, that podcast was made available to the general public. If you're willing to soldier through some awkward pauses (when I couldn't find the words I wanted) and brain-fart moments, you can listen to me ramble on about bungie.org, the Halo series, and the future. The views expressed on this program are solely those of the speakers and do not reflect the views of the management of HBO. Waitaminute... yes they do. (Master Teeth started a thread in our forum, if you need to vent.) (Louis Wu 12:06:43 UTC) (permalink)
Reflection Reflection
ElusiveEagle519 pointed out a tweet by Ken Taya - and now you know who created (and named) Reflection. (Louis Wu 12:06:12 UTC) (permalink)
Short and sweet
Having Joe Tung confirm it in Australia yesterday was enough to make it legit - but the fact that Halo: Reach has gone Gold (passed Xbox certification) is now official; check this post on the Reach Developer Blog. (Louis Wu 12:04:54 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Caption Fun, Round 104
Even though she's on vacation, Hawty McBloggy made sure that this week's Friday Caption Fun went live on her site. Witty captions from last week, and a new pic that made me do a double-take... go give it your thoughts! (Louis Wu 12:02:48 UTC) (permalink)
I think the gun's retractable.
NeoGAF's Ajemsuhgao got his hands on a brand-new vehicle for Reach - amazingly, this hasn't been leaked ANYWHERE yet!

New Reach shirts at HT
Darknesshasfallen noticed a couple of new Halo Reach shirts at his local Hot Topic - he could only find one of them online, but he got pics of both in the store.

Zealot, in play
Demoncarnotaur had the first notice I saw of an IGN film snippet showing off a little bit of gameplay on Zealot. It's clear, even from just this half-minute clip, that Zealot and Midship share very little except a color palette and a curved outer wall. (Louis Wu 11:57:03 UTC) (permalink)
More Reach Coverage
Kibbles noticed a couple of new Reach writeups - Game Informer discussed the three new multiplayer maps revealed recently, and GamePro had a look at the campaign levels Bungie showed to the press. (There are some (very) minor story spoilers in this piece. But then... if you're reading this, you haven't gone dark yet, right? So minor spoilers are okay, right?)
