Now THAT'S A Noble Steed...
The lovely and talented misplacedyank showed off her new ride in Halo: Reach via her Twitter Feed. I'm on the virgil of getting one myself! (GrimBrother One 21:31:00 UTC) (permalink)
Take It Off Nice And Slow... The Sleeve I Mean
If you are curious to see the new Halo: Anniversary "in the flesh", check out this unboxing video done by M4d Ski11z. Game-case aficionados like myself will find the neat special outer sleeve pretty cool! Thanks to Gabotron ES for cathing it over at the GAF. (GrimBrother One 21:27:10 UTC) (permalink)
Chicken? Really?
This amused me - it shows how silly marketing can get. Thanks, GarthVaderUK. (Louis Wu 19:59:23 UTC) (permalink)
More achievements for Defiant
blamite noticed that if you visit Waypoint (on Xbox LIVE, not on the web), you'll see some new achievements listed for the Defiant Map Pack - worth another 50GS. Intriguing! (They don't seem to be in-game yet, so I'm guessing they don't go live before Anniversary drops.) (Louis Wu 19:32:17 UTC) (permalink)
Combative fun with Jun's Falcon
Rockslider continues his investigations into Jun's Falcon on Winter Contingency... the man is nothing if not thorough. (Louis Wu 19:30:53 UTC) (permalink)
In the End
neo56695 sent us a link to 'In the End', his music video using Reach cutscene footage. I didn't have a lot of expectations (it's Linkin Park, after all, and the cutscene footage is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio) - but I was pleasantly surprised by the connections between the visuals and the lyrics. Give it a shot! Update: the aspect ratio is fixed now. (Louis Wu 17:14:50 UTC) (permalink)

Nak3d Eli has posted another Challenge Tutorial vid - this one is aimed at making the Firefight Assist challenges (like yesterday's) a little bit easier. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:33:56 UTC) (permalink)
I Need an ID.
Morpheus noticed a couple of days ago that Robot Chicken had a pretty funny Master Chief sketch on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim - you can watch it now on their website. Update: apparently, that link only works if you're inside the US. Try this one if you're not - thanks, The Loot. (Louis Wu 16:23:03 UTC) (permalink)
Co-op Night: ONI Alpha Site
Kermit posted a great recap of last week's Co-op night on ONI Alpha Site - if the pictures and text make you want to get in on the action, tonight's romp will take place in NMPD HQ. Join 'em! (Louis Wu 16:17:04 UTC) (permalink)
The Awesomeness is Impossible to Regulate
Also up on Waypoint today is the latest Anniversary flythrough from Gus and Geoff at Achievement Hunters. This time they take a look at the new Installation 04 Firefight map. As always, some beautiful looks at what is sure to become a fan favorite! (GrimBrother One 16:05:47 UTC) (permalink)

Get the Scooper on the Cooper Trooper
We mentioned yesterday a new series by thebruce0 looking at grassroots storytelling in the Halo Community. He stopped by later to let us know that the first article is live! The initial piece features a great interview with Pete Cooper of Operation: Chastity fame. Really nice stuff, looking forward to more! (GrimBrother One 15:47:41 UTC) (permalink)
