Rounding Out the Week
Jump on over to Bungie.net for the latest Bungie Weekly Update - it's chock-full of details about the Reach October Playlist Update, info about a way to get community content into matchmaking, some basic questions and answers that have come up this week, some audio info from the Bungie audio team, a silly Blame Stosh, and more - go read! (As always, it's in our Weekly Update Archive, as well.) (Louis Wu 23:53:33 UTC) (permalink)
Domino's HBO Giveaways - Winner Picked
Domino Theory picked a winner for his latest giveaway - congrats to Dannzyz! A soundtrack will be in the mail soon. (And if you didn't win - keep your eyes peeled next week, for a repeat contest.) (Louis Wu 23:01:55 UTC) (permalink)
Remember Reach
It's a week old - but Virtual Shackles took a nice shot at Phil Spencer, who talked about upping the frequency of Halo releases in the future. Ouch! (Louis Wu 18:25:07 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Reach Bungie Employee Bloopers
americanista123 is back with another blooper reel filled with clips of Bungie employees... not always winning. (Sometimes winning big, though.) Thanks, urk! (Louis Wu 18:21:33 UTC) (permalink)
What's next... speedrunning Elites?
pete_the_duck found a Grunt who's learning from human Reach tricksters. Scary... (Louis Wu 15:45:40 UTC) (permalink)
The Joy Of Six.
Stuntmutt seems to be amused that you can play as a male or female Noble Six in Reach - witness the latest One One Se7en. Oh, Muttley... (Louis Wu 15:29:45 UTC) (permalink)
Pop Lock and Drop!
Brian Gilmore sent word that the newest article up at Geekscape's Teabag Prevention site will help you use Armor Lock to its greatest effect. If you find yourself skipping over this Armor Ability because it keeps getting you killed, you should read this. (Louis Wu 15:29:19 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Reach Fails Episode 1
chris10023 let us know that Halo Reach Fails Episode 1 is now online - oh, so many new opportunities for failure now! (The Epic Fail of the Week is hilarious.) (Louis Wu 15:28:53 UTC) (permalink)
Haunted
TDSpiral was impressed by the Bungie-exclusive (well, for now, at least) Skull Helmet in Reach - so he drew it. Killer. (Louis Wu 15:28:36 UTC) (permalink)
Sing it, baby!
Cody Miller has been outspoken about his unhappiness with Reach's story. He's now taken that dissatisfaction to a new level - in song. Story Ain't Deep would make Mark Knopfler cringe, but is pretty funny. His Nirvana parody, 'Smells Like Retcon', is less successful, mostly because Cody confuses 'grunge' for 'drunk'. And Hawaiian Pig gets in on the action with his Firefly theme, repurposed (extra points for playing the music himself!). (reprobate wanted to play, too - he didn't record his version, it's just lyrics, and he's not taking the same shots at the Reach story... but it's a decent effort nonetheless. One might even say Noble.) (Louis Wu 15:27:01 UTC) (permalink)
Screenshot Heaven
Hedgemony surfaced last night to announce that HedgemonyLovesHalo has hit 800 images - the man has NOT lost his touch. Go look. (Louis Wu 15:26:40 UTC) (permalink)
We are smart, and good at games.
Avateur was the first to notice the writeup last night of the most recent Reach Humpday Challenge - Bungie took on their own forum moderators... and lost. (Now, to be fair to Bungie, the two games they lost were very, very close - one kill in the first game, one flag in the last - while the game they won was a Steaktacular win. Still... losing is losing.) Go read about it! (Louis Wu 15:26:03 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Just two new pieces this week in the Fan Fiction section... I guess everyone's busy playing Reach. Go read. (Louis Wu 15:23:43 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Double EXP Continues
Missed this yesterday, but FyreWulff pointed out that the Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend Playlist is Prepare To Drop... and that his Double EXP Weekend Archive has been updated. Jeremiah SAID there would be more... (Louis Wu 15:23:17 UTC) (permalink)
