Halo Anniversary Skulls
Sam Becker let us know that he took the Skull screenshots from the recent BTS video and matched them up with their actual names and effects. Swing by HaloEasterEggs.net to see (or don't, if you'd rather figure them out on your own). (Louis Wu 12:04:25 UTC)

Reach Customz Ep 5 - Hex V2
Timgie and crew are back with Reach Customz Episode 5 - the gametype they're highlighting is called Hex V2, and it's a Racetrack variant... with a pretty cool twist. Go watch the video to see why it's a Race game that might not frustrate you if you get behind at the very start! (Louis Wu 15:52:00 UTC)

The H:A Content Flood Begins
Tons of new Anniversary content hitting the web - I guess the embargo lifted at 9am.
- Eurogamer has an interview with Dennis Ries, including info about Kinect. (Their HA gallery has six new screens from the level Halo - look down below the High Noon stuff.) Thanks, Hypertrooper.
- Xbox360Achievements has a preview of the game - again, thanks, Hypertrooper.
- Destructoid has impressions of the feel of the game - thanks, Dani.
- The Inquirer has a video preview of Pillar of Autumn, presented by Dennis Reis. There's a hands-on written review to accompany it.
- WorthPlaying has a preview up - it's more of a summary of the package, but they call it what they call it.
- Dean Takahashi takes a look at the game for VentureBeat, and includes a 7 minute interview with Kevin Grace.
- God is a Geek has an interview with Dennis Ries - the man's getting some serious talking time!
I'm sure there'll be more as the day goes on - but this should hold you for a bit! Update: Here's a preview from OXM - thanks, Deadly Cyclone. (Louis Wu 13:56:29 UTC)

More H:A coming out of France
Paris Games Week has kicked off, and 343 is there showing off Halo: Anniversary. uberfoop linked to some gameplay from Truth & Reconciliation (pretty mediocre video, but the first meaty stuff we've seen of the level), and over at NeoGAF, TheOddOne found a runthrough of 343 Guilty Spark (again, offscreen, but a hefty portion of gameplay). We have word that higher-quality video will be released soon (within the hour, if David Ellis is correct) - or you could just hold off until November 15 and experience it on your OWN screen.

NHL Halo Sighting
Yazool was at a Tampa Bay Lightning game last night - and was surprised when the organist kicked into the Halo theme during the pregame show. The early part isn't recorded (he didn't have his phone out at the start), but there's a pretty good chunk documented - go listen!

What do Queen and Halo have in common?
FoxmanFX noticed a new video from William Shatner, who released a 'Spoken Word' album of classic rock music. His treatment of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody has at least one, and maybe two Halo nods - the video starts with a piece that tips its hat to the Halo 3 Announce Trailer... and ends with one that could be considered an homage to the opening of Halo 3. Is Shatner a Halo 3 fan? It would appear so! (Side note: this is one of the oddest things I've seen this week.) Update: Got a photo taken at the G-Phoria Awards in 2005 that might suggest where that connection might have come from... (Louis Wu 21:03:17 UTC)

Hang 'em High - Official Press Release
343 sent along the official press release for Hang 'em High - go read about it, along with all the other goodies they announced recently. I've also included 9 extremely high-res versions of the promo screenshots (6400x3600) for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see the map in motion, Kotaku's Brian Crecente filmed some Hang 'em High gameplay off the screen (with his phone) at NYCC this weekend (thanks, ElzarTheBam). (Louis Wu 18:02:35 UTC)

Your own IAC
Feels good to be back home again - while reading through the forum posts since Thursday, I came across a few tidbits you might have missed yourself. Let's start with something you can hold in your hand. Mid7night created a model of In Amber Clad... and made it available on Shapeways. (Feedback on his original model led to some changes from the original description; you can read through for details.) It's really pretty cool - and if you like it, you can have one made, in the material of your choice! (Mid7night doesn't make any money from this; the price is set by Shapeways.)

Fans Were Given Choices, ATLAS Shrugged, and 12pm Said Hello
Yesterday evening turned out to be a pretty good news night on the Halo front, with the New York City Comic Con yielding some nice tidbits...
- 343 Industries formally announced the inclusion of High Noon/Hang 'Em High to the lineup of maps coming out with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Check out the IGN Interview with Max Hoberman from Certain Affinity.
- Also shown off was some of the very cool new upgrades and features coming soon to Halo Waypoint, across all mediums. Gamespot has a feature previewing what's coming, including a very interesting new program called "ATLAS", which streams data from any multiplayer game you are in to an app on your Windows Mobile Phone in real time, potentially giving you an armored-leg up on the competition. Also discussed are the new Custom Challenges that you can create for your friends to attempt in Halo: Reach. Sweet!
- HBO Member Simpsons Rule also left us an awesome write-up on our forums detailing his first-hand experience and impressions at the Halo Panel from the NYCCC. If you weren't there, and want a great fan's perspective, definitely check this out and offer your own thoughts!
We will of course be adding more as the various news sites start making their own reports, but until now, enjoy! (GrimBrother One 18:13:50 UTC)

Anniversary Achieveables!
Pretty much top news of the evening last night was the revealing of the Achievement List for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. There are some absolutely great ones in there, as well as a few that will certainly provide a challenge for many. ElzarTheBam was also kind enough to use his 343rd post to start a discussion about it on our forum. Check it out! (GrimBrother One 15:12:46 UTC)

Best Fronking Comic Ever.
The illustrious JDQuackers has brought to us a beacon of hope for all those who wake up in the morning with the insatiable hunger for a taste of sweet Hedgemony. Like Moses on the mount, JD has brought forth words from the man himself; a brand new adventure featuring our favorite fighting fish, Samurai Fronk. The adventure starts here. You won't regret this.

Title Update Health Glitch?
Nak3d Eli pointed out what seems to be a glitch in how health is handled in the Reach Title Update - you might not have what you think you have. Watch his video, and decide for yourself! (The thread he started has some interesting discussion and further testing.) (Louis Wu 14:20:02 UTC)

Halo: Reach Stat Checker v1.1
Shadow8P dropped in to announce an update to his Halo: Reach Stat Checker - now it shows Grifball stats, and lets you look at more stats at once. Windows-only. Go grab a copy! Update: dang, it's already up to 1.2! Now it has a new screen that doesn't rely on scroll bars. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:27:57 UTC)

Halo Wars: What Might Have Been
OXM UK has put together an article about what was cut from Halo Wars during development - one of the big things was splitscreen gameplay. Unfortunately, the actual article is behind a paywall (you can download it for a fee - if you've got a credit card with a UK billing address). Thanks to ElzarTheBam for the heads-up.

Baffling Early Prototypes of Video Games

It's Bungie Day! Er...
The Title Update Beta Hopper is online on Xbox LIVE - go play and see how 85% bloom suits you! If you want the gametypes for customs, FyreWulff has your back - 85% Bloom Slayer is already available in his Fileshare, and more variants will be coming soon. (The title for this newspost comes from the fact that when you log in to Reach today, you get a message welcoming you to Bungie Day - oops. Don't let this put you off - the new gametypes are a lot of fun!) Update: Der Flatulator6 has added three more gametypes to his Fileshare: 3 flag CTF, 3 Plot Territories, and Zero Bloom Slayer DMRs - go grab copies! Update 2: the splash screen's been updated with a REAL Title Update splash (looks like this). (Louis Wu 14:37:23 UTC)
