The fear of black vans from Seattle
Techland delivers a three page summary of 10 hours on the Reach campaign, fully laden with *spoiler* goodness (or is it badness). Evan Narcisse and his AI "partner" feels that September 14th can't get here soon enough. (Cybrfrk 22:14:48 UTC) (permalink)
Wu spotted in the wild
If you are wondering where Louis Wu is these days, apparently he's visiting his Grand Pappy (The Elder) in the Pacific Northwest. Oh yes he did. Thanks to Crab for finding off of Ken Taya's tweet. (Cybrfrk 20:18:41 UTC) (permalink)
Armor unlocks with and without bugs
MTV's Russ Frushtick decided to take a pause from his 12 hours of Reach gaming to talk a bit about four different armor unlocks. Although this is not the first time these have been discussed, it's still a good read. If you are really avoiding anything related to the game -- walk away *spoiler*.

Schooly D is polling the community to determine interest in a Reach 1v1 league. If you would like to showcase your mad skillz and show your parents that you can earn some cash using a jetpack, go respond. (Cybrfrk 17:01:45 UTC) (permalink)
Blowing seven to kingdom come
CVG released their spoiler-laden second (of three) parts in their Reach preview. Another campaign mission is reviewed which reveals *spoiler* and *spoiler*.

Deliver Hope
Halo: Reach - Deliver Hope, the latest live-action trailer (following up 'Birth of a Spartan') is now live on both Halo Waypoint's website and YouTube (thanks, GrimBrother One). Reception on our forum seems to be mixed - but I have to say, I liked it, quite a lot. We don't know a lot about the timeframe of this piece - but I'd guess it's just a tiny bit before the game starts. Go make up your own mind! Update: it's available for download (in 720p goodness) from Bungie.net, as well. (And sorry to CYBR, who beat me on this by 3 minutes.) (Louis Wu 14:07:03 UTC) (permalink)
Out of the ball park
For those who have questioned the significance of the live-action trailers for Reach, we now "Deliver Hope." Make sure you grab a drink, change it to HD and enjoy the ride. (Cybrfrk 14:04:19 UTC) (permalink)
Life of a Spartan
AssaultGodzilla is back with another Halo music video - like all of his work, source material is wide-ranging, and like all of his work, timing is superb. Go check out Life of a Spartan. (Louis Wu 13:57:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Phone
nomis78 is working on a Spirit of Fire interface for his iPhone - nice start! (Louis Wu 13:51:40 UTC) (permalink)
7-foot Muckle Halo 2 Chief for Sale
This came in a couple of days ago, but travel and internet connections being what they are, it got lost in the shuffle... BARBARIC RAGE let us know about the sale of one of the 7-foot Muckle Halo 2 statues on eBay. This is NOT the American, foam statue - this is a European statue made of Fiberglass. (I have one of the small (12-inch) Muckles, and I have to say, the construction is fantastic.) There are still 6 days left in the auction - if you want to get your hands on one of these gorgeous pieces, here's a chance! (Louis Wu 13:49:52 UTC) (permalink)

Or here. As mentioned in the Bungie Weekly Update, you now have the opportunity to start moving your couch, recliner and posters into your fancy Reach lobby. Don't forget to paint the baseboards. (Cybrfrk 03:48:42 UTC) (permalink)
