Go Deeper.
If you (like me) were unable to attend the recent IBO (HBO) beach party in Long Island, you can at least read about it, courtesy of Jillybean's dulcet pennings, and enjoy photos, courtesy of Jilly and Rets. I haven't seen so much red flesh since the Salem Witch Trials (yes, I was there - I watched from the sidelines with Marty). (Louis Wu 12:54:45 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3: ODST Mythic Guide: ONI Alpha Site
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris continues his campaign against the Covenant - his Mythic Difficulty Guide for ONI Alpha Site is now online. (The fact that it wasn't up yesterday is 100% my fault.) This is a difficult level, but Tyrant makes it easier with tips and tricks and video demos of just what you need to do to survive. Go check it out. (Louis Wu 12:13:30 UTC) (permalink)
Flair Checker
FyreWulff put together a Flair Checker - answer a few questions, and his page will show you what your gamertag can look like in Halo: Reach pregame lobbies. Pretty slick!

Engineered to perfection.
TDSpiral was inspired to paint a Huragok - I'm happy he was. It's gorgeous.

Building a Light Sculpture, Take 2
Miguel Chavez pointed out the article that goes along with that Kuka Robot Arm video we mentioned yesterday - if you didn't fully understand what was going on (or you were having trouble watching the video because of permissions), check this out on Wired's site. (Louis Wu 12:10:54 UTC) (permalink)
The Family Guy Meets Reach
coreross decided to see what the characters in The Family Guy would look like with Reach armor. Since they don't actually exist in the Reach universe... that means he's DRAWING them. So far, he's got Peter and Stewie, with Brian's helm partially finished. Go see. (Louis Wu 12:10:23 UTC) (permalink)
Video Saturday
More Reach trailer recuts - padraig08 released one, and Littleberu released another. Whee! (And while we're at it, AssaultGodzilla is back with another Halo music video - this one called 'Mad World'. As always, amazing synch job.)

Sketch talks to Gamerspawn
Overdoziz noticed an interview with Brian Jarrard at Gamescom, conducted by the Gamerspawn crew. Go see if you can pick up anything new!

Hedge REALLY Loves Halo
Hedgemony let us know that his photomanip site, "Hedgemony Loves Halo", has passed the 600 image mark. The latest batch of additions (we mentioned the 500 image milestone just over 3 weeks ago) contains some truly gorgeous pictures. Go see. (Louis Wu 12:04:39 UTC) (permalink)
I think we have things in common.
A staff member from ReadyUpLive signed up for a dating service as Master Chief. The nibbles on his profile... might make you laugh. Go see! Thanks, Greenskull.

More Gamescom writeups
There's a short preview of Reach from the folks at Destructoid, based on what they saw at Gamescom. Minor campaign spoilers. There's another one at Xboxic. Go see.

Media Madness from urk
As usual, the Bungie Weekly Update went live last night (it WAS Friday night, after all). Highlights this time around include a summary of Sketch's adventures in Germany, an explanation of the way your gamertag will appear in Reach pregame lobbies (and what you need to modify that), a Q&A about some of the Corvette footage we saw last week, a new pair of high-res gameplay clips showing Firefight footage on Outpost (a map we haven't seen much of yet) and The Cage (a Forge World build), some cool wallpaper, and more. Chock-full, I tell you. It is, as always, available in our Weekly Update Archive, if you have a need for it. (It was there last night - just didn't get around to updating the front page.)
