Updates Afoot For Waypoint At Home And On The Move
Looks like GhaleonEB noticed that the new Stats section of the Halo Waypoint site has gone live (at least in beta form). A good bit of what you're used to seeing over on Bnet is replicated here, with a few new additions, and more to be added later one. Plug in your Gamertag and give it a try! And while you are over there, check out the soothing voice of bs angel as she guides you through the latest upcoming update to the Waypoint Mobile application. In the video, she also discusses the new stats feature of Waypoint, which is also available on the go. Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 04:06:16 UTC)

Digging in the Couch Cushions, Round Two
Took a LONG time - but I can still say "I read every single post on the HBO forum". Caught up! Here's what I found since the last roundup (well, through a day or two ago):
- I almost skipped this, because I noticed Grim's posting about a 'Nasty' montage on our front page earlier this week... I'm glad I looked. FALL3Npro stopped by last week with word of his Halo Reach/Halo 3 montage, Lost Transmission - heavy on the editing, full of sick gameplay. Check it out!
- Leviathan was inspired by Halo: Cryptum to try and visualize the War-Sphinx - those massive protectors set to guard the Didact. The end result is... awesome. (I mean, seriously awesome. Follow that link.)
- masugn pointed out the most recent update to Isaac Hannaford's blog - more vehicle designs. Awesome stuff! (Don't miss the concept art for Deliver Hope Hannaford points you to over at Evan Shipard's site, either...)
- pete_the_duck finished off his Fall of Beta comic... in text format. If you don't remember the comic, never fear, he's included a summary of Part 1 (which WAS finished), along with links to the original artwork. I have to say... had the story played out the way he wanted, I'd feel bad for the UNSC. Their finest hope... well, let's just say he's not the best shot around.
- padraig08 ran across a parody song that's been on YouTube for several months now - but hasn't turned up here yet. ScreenTeamShow used CeeLo Green's tune to create Frag You - a pretty cool (if overly autotuned) parody with guest appearances by Cortana, the Chief, and a hanging pretzel.
- BlueNinja finally broke through some of the barriers on Long Night of Solace... and found the filming location for one of Reach's cutscenes. If you don't enjoy seeing the struts holding up the play's set, don't read this post. (Me, I find this stuff fascinating.) He did some cool stuff in New Alexandria, too.
From here on in, forum posts that are front-paged will be current again! (I've still got to go through Bungie's Comm Chatter, of course... but that's for later.) (Louis Wu 00:15:18 UTC)

Passing the Torch
Botolf wrote up a comprehensive review of the Halo: Reach Campaign - meticulously researched, chock-full of pretty pictures and well-written text, this is worth reading. Check it out. (The only thing it's really missing is a navigation system; if you stop reading in the middle somewhere, finding your place, if you didn't bookmark it, is non-trivial.) And with that, I'm going to let Grim handle anything else that comes along today. (Louis Wu 12:34:26 UTC)
