Digging in the Couch Cushions, Round One
Okay, I'm slowly getting there. Currently only a week behind! Here's some of the fun stuff I found along the way:
- Nosolee took a look at some Latin you can find in Halo 3's Bestarium - I LOVE it when we come across Halo fans with relatively obscure skills, and I love it even more when they dig out tidbits Bungie left hidden for us to find.
- RC Master posted a technique which will let you skip the most difficult section of New Alexandria, almost completely. Slick!
- SIX min WHISTLE and InnerRayg teamed up on information from Toyfair 2011 - lots of new stuff coming for Halo fans in the months ahead! Links to writeups and pictures in this post, this post, and this post. Oh, and this post.
- GrimBrother One posted a link to some new Halo goodies coming from MegaBloks. (Grim, you posted on the forum, but didn't front-page it? Goodness me.)
- Elnea continued her tradition of creating RvB-themed valentines cards - always worth looking at! (Might have been more useful on Valentines Day... but hey, we're not perfect.)
- Terminal Velocity created a video full of Reach Campaign fun - vehicle launching, getting out of play areas, etc. Pretty long - but lots of good stuff! Check out Meta Stability. And thanks to Muzza for letting us know about it.
- excowboy83 found a page full of... well, go look. I'd tell you about it, but my head's still spinning.
There's lots more that I let lie - after all, we want to give you SOME incentive for hanging out on our forum - and as I mentioned, I've still got a week's worth of catching up to do. But this list should help fill some idle time this afternoon! (Louis Wu 19:36:27 UTC) (permalink)
Photos From The Fall Of A Mad World
Speaking of Waypoint, you should check out the very cool Reach Pictage bs angel stumbled across. Set to the now-familiar "Mad World", the video shows of some beautiful and abstract photos taken in Reach. Great music, and very nice pics. Definitely worth a look!

Waypoint Upgrades Their FTL Drive
Just as a quick PSA, bs angel wanted to let everyone know that if you had been avoiding the Halo Waypoint website because if long load times and Silverlight issues, you might want to give it a shot now. MUCH quicker. Appease the lady and go give it a shot! (GrimBrother One 19:16:02 UTC) (permalink)
Reclaimer Wednesday
Don't forget to check out the latest Reclaimer comic today. The story continues to rocket toward a climactic finish. Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 16:09:36 UTC) (permalink)
Autographed Reach Figures - fer nuthin
There's a ton of stuff coming, I promise - but it takes time to go through thousands of unread posts. In the meantime, though - there was a post from Mr.Sci-Fi a couple of days ago that is somewhat time-sensitive. If you swing by Halo Waypoint's website, you'll see that they've got a few signed McFarlane Reach action figures to give away - you've still got a couple of days to get in on the action! Go see how.

Defying Impatience At ECCC
The fine folks over at Halo Waypoint want to remind anyone going to the fast-approaching Emerald City Comic Con that you will be one of the lucky first to get their hands on the Defiant Map Pack. Awesome news for ECCC attendees! For the rest of you, don't worry, as the launch of the maps over XBL won't be far behind! (GrimBrother One 08:06:13 UTC) (permalink)
Ghosts of Envy
Kaidon continues to make it more and more difficult to honor the Tenth Commandment with his newest custom Halo figure. This time, the focus of my - and many others' - desire is his amazing Kurt Ambrose figure, complete with SPI armor as seen in Ghosts of Onyx. So. Sweet. (GrimBrother One 07:58:20 UTC) (permalink)
Capturing Reach
CGSociety just ran a pretty slick article on the development of Reach, specifically the technology used to capture and almost literally "film" the events of the game. It's a very cool look behind the scenes of how we get to the end result of the fantastic game playing out on our screens at home. Thanks to Reluctant Chaos for the heads-up!

Reach-newing Your Gold Account
Morpheus brings word of a potentially pretty sweet deal for users looking to upgrade or renew their XBL Gold account. Apparently upgrading through the dashboard at this time can not only net you 20% off the regular price, but you can nab a free game from a small selection, one of them being Reach. We'll bring you more details if we have them, but either way, keep an eye on this one. (GrimBrother One 07:47:19 UTC) (permalink)
