Another look at the Stripey Room
Rob Goodier pointed out a story in Popular Mechanics that discusses the audio in Halo: Reach - they seemed awfully impressed! Don't let Marty see this article; we wouldn't want him to get a swelled head. (But make sure you read it yourself, because it's fascinating.)

Legacy
ZoLA has put together a community montage that's heavy on the editing - very nice-looking! Thanks to The Handmade Hero for the heads-up. (Visit the Halomontage.com page for download options - the high-res version is gorgeous, if slightly large.)

Team Schooly D Wants YOU

Reach OST Clips - Spoiler-Free
DHalo pointed out that Sumthing Digital has a page up for the Halo Reach Original Soundtrack, but that visiting the link might spoil the campaign. (Track titles are actual level titles, and some of them might come as a surprise to you.) To avoid the spoilers, but still give you access to the clips of each track, he went to the effort of downloading all clips, removing identifying information, and renaming them to simple numbers. You still get all the clips, in the order they appear... but you get no spoilers. We've rehosted the zipfile he created (21 mb) because MediaFire is a pain in the butt. Again - these are still available (in streaming format) on Sumthing Digital, if you don't mind seeing the track names... this is just for your spoiler-free musical enjoyment.

Starting it all... then letting go
The Escapist Magazine has a short piece discussing how Bungie might feel competing with their own baby, down the road. (It was originally found at CVG back in August, but we missed it then.) Food for thought! Thanks, Gtag=Reluctant Chaos.

Achievement Farming in Reach
IGN found a loophole that allows some pretty simple Achievement farming in Reach - I think most people who love the game will get them the normal way, but if you're impatient, this trick will save you quite a bit of effort! Thanks, Minime637. (Louis Wu 20:58:05 UTC) (permalink)
Building sympathetic characters
Waypoint's GLYPH stopped in to point out an interview recorded at SDCC a couple of months ago - it's been available on Waypoint on Xbox LIVE for a while, but it's just been added to Waypoint's YouTube channel. Stan Lee discusses storytelling and games in a really great conversation. Go watch!
