The Flaming Ninja Challenge: Reach
pete_the_duck has released his first Reach obstacle course - and man, it looks like a doozy! He's taken pictures of some of the tricky bits; go look. (If your controller drifts when you take your fingers off the sticks... this probably isn't for you.) (Louis Wu 21:43:48 UTC) (permalink)
DIY Paint-a-Chief
The ever-spectacular BS Angel passes along this awesome Master Chief digital painting tutorial for those, as she says, "artsy types". Go and check it out!

Statue of Limitations
So... just in case anyone has the spare room, cash, and lack of an easily-disturbed significant other, here is an eBay auction for you. It's 1 of 18 Limited Edition (ya think?) Noble Team statues, just like you saw at all the conventions. It's life size, baby... and so is the price. Current bid is just under $1500 usd (not to mention the est $600 shipping). If anyone wants to know what I want for Christmas...

Missing In Action Trailer
The DuoGroup has always been known for top-notch machinima - and their latest offering, a trailer for 'Missing In Action', doesn't disappoint. It's only a minute long... but it uses Reach's assets to fantastic effect. Go watch. (Thanks again, urk.) (Louis Wu 17:31:42 UTC) (permalink)
Forge Contest: Pillar Punch
Looks like Forgemaps.com wants to see your best Forge effort, set on Forge World's Pillar - they'll give the winner a prize! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 17:28:18 UTC) (permalink)
Bust a move!
Cortana4ever was sad at the thought that Halo fans might not see her take on this rather bizarre set of moments from a customs game last week... you should watch. And laugh. (Louis Wu 16:51:58 UTC) (permalink)
We want your headshots!
I checked our contest email over the weekend, and there are only about 50 valid entries for the KontrolFreek Headshot Heard 'Round The World contest - you guys remember there's a Halo: Reach Xbox 360 on the line, right? All you have to do is submit a cool headshot video that's less than a minute long, and you're in the running! Do you not like free stuff, or something? (Louis Wu 16:36:38 UTC) (permalink)
MLG DC - 2 in a row for FB
Congratulations to Final Boss, who came back from the Losers Bracket to win MLG DC this weekend! (They were placed in the Losers Bracket by Dynasty - but then came back to beat them in the Losers Bracket Finals, and took Triggers Down in the WB Finals. Amazing!) Full recaps can be found on MLGPro.com. (Louis Wu 16:33:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Machina di Morte?
hotshot revan brought our forum's attention to a rumor essentially claiming that 343 Industries is looking to remake/remaster the previous Halo games (or at least Halo: Combat Evolved) using the Reach engine. Plausible? Huge stretch? Go look and discuss...

Very well, then!
AytonHunter wants everyone's thoughts on a new Reach Machinima short called "I Sense Danger!". I'm just impressed John Cleese found time in his busy schedule to do voice work for them...

Let them see cake
Apparently, Spencermx14 was feeling a little front-page envy when he saw Nevan's Birthday Cake, so he wanted to show off his own. Pretty sweet!

The news is Grim
You might have noticed that the newsposts today have a new name attached to them... a grateful welcome to GrimBrother One, who's stepped on board as our freshest newshound. (Heck, he was doing a lot of the work from the cheap seats already... we figured it was only fair to move him up on stage.) What does this mean for you, the Halo fan reading this? Not a huge amount, actually - except that if you're planning on emailing us news, mail it to halo@bungie.org, rather than directly to, say, me - because when I'm not around, news in my inbox just sits there.

Operation Chastity updates
For those of you who might not have noticed, Pete Cooper let everyone know on the Operation Chastity site that the OC Warthog built for their film is featured in the November issue of Land Rover Owners International magazine. Awesome! Also, Pete's most recent blog entry mentions a website revamp and a new monthly mailing list. Go get your fan flick fix! (GrimBrother One 14:33:10 UTC) (permalink)
Falling through the Quanta
TTL Demag0gue dropped by to let every know that the latest Reclaimer issue is out, and it just happens to also be the first of its series done using Reach. Looking good!

Lineage Confirmed
POSTMORTEM from Forward Unto Dawn sent along a YouTube video he found that takes a pretty clear look at what the hidden voices are saying in the first Datapad in Halo: Reach. Pretty cool stuff to let your mind chew on, and it's only the first one! It's the first time I had seen it... go check it out! Update: Apparently, the reason I hadn't seen it before is because in my spoiler-avoiding first few days of Reach, I missed this thread by thebruce0, where he directs us to LOTS of awesome things he has found so far, regarding the datapads and more. Go check it out if you missed that too!

Reach-themed car for Forza 3 VIP's
Just after the release of Halo: Reach, Turn 10 Studios made an announcement in their Weekly Blog about a custom Reach-themed car that would be sent out to Forza 3 VIP's. A couple of weeks ago, they made good on that promise. If you play Forza 3 but have ignored it lately for obvious reasons, go look to see if you have a new ride!
