Unique Halo 3 shirt
I've never heard the term 'upcycled' before - but there's a pretty interesting women's top on Etsy right now, and it started with a Halo 3 shirt. If you like it, hurry - there's only one.

Smoothing out the bumps
When you launch a new title, and a few million people all start accessing things at once, I suppose you can expect issues. Yesterday, Bungie posted a bunch of things that might help you if you're having trouble:
- Folks having trouble redeeming codes that come with the Limited or Legendary editions, read this
- Folks having trouble with networking, read this
- Folks wondering about Campaign Matchmaking, read this
- Folks wondering what happened to their favorite Bungie.net feature that was JUST THERE, read this
Keep an open mind, and if you run into a problem, don't panic - it's early days, yet. (Louis Wu 12:39:19 UTC)

Reach: Now with Auto Mute
Anton P. Nym's sharp eyes saw a quote in a recent ars technica article about surviving the idiots on Xbox LIVE - ferrex says that Reach has a feature where if too many people mute you in-game, you'll start being auto-muted by the system. Nice!

The Policy
Getting a late start - blame Frankie, the Bungie guys, and Best Buy for a fine Reach launch party in New York City last night. Let's see if we can reduce some of the news backlog... For those who missed it, yesterday's Penny Arcade comic was Reach-related (discussion, as usual, is in the associated blog post) - thanks, AfroRyan.

Armory, Challenges, and Files
Bungie.net has posted Welcome to Noble Team, a primer for the new player customization system. Worth a read while you're waiting to get your disc! Thanks, DHalo. (This will be our last newspost of the day - time to start preparing for the trip to the Times Square launch event this evening. For those going to a midnight launch - enjoy yourselves! And for the rest of you - see you online!) (Louis Wu 19:13:53 UTC)

Festivities Start Early
So it turns out that if you're insane, and get into the Best Buy Reach Launch Party Line in Times Square more than 24 hours before the door opens, you MIGHT just get your picture taken with some Bungie bigwigs and show up on the Reach Developer Blog. (It was raining in NY yesterday...) (Louis Wu 14:09:12 UTC)

Review Embargo Ends
The reviews are beginning to pour in - the embargo ended this morning about 5 hours before I wrote these words. We could try and keep up with each individual review (there are a number mentioned on our forum - IGN, Giantbomb, Joystiq, Destructoid, Wired, Kotaku, Gametrailers), or you could just keep your eye on Metacritic; as of this writing, it has 21 reviews listed for Reach, with eight of them being perfect scores. (I'll be gone most of today, so you can either do your own work searching our forum (and the web) for more of these, or you can simply let Metacritic do it for you.) Beware - the embargo that lifted includes information about the campaign, so it's quite possible that if you read all these reviews, or peruse new screenshot dumps, you WILL get spoiled.

Shades of IRIS
Wow, bizarre - Eternity 117 was watching a video found on Gizmodo - it shows a jet landing in Honduras. It's pretty mundane... until you get to about 1:09 in. At that point, check out the ground in the bottom left corner of the screen... (for folks not interested in looking for themselves, here's a screenshot from the area in question.) Cue Twilight Zone music...

Friday Caption Fun, Round 109
Ack! How could I forget? Hawty McBloggy's Friday Caption Fun (soon coming to an end, sadly) is up to Round 109 - funny captions from last week, plus a truly bizarre screen to play with this week. Go see! (Louis Wu 15:31:26 UTC)

Hot night in LA
Last night there was a big shindig down in LA to celebrate Reach - The Reach Developer Blog was posting up a storm. (one | two | three | four | five (a response to four) Sounds like fun! (Louis Wu 20:59:55 UTC)

Starting it all... then letting go
The Escapist Magazine has a short piece discussing how Bungie might feel competing with their own baby, down the road. (It was originally found at CVG back in August, but we missed it then.) Food for thought! Thanks, Gtag=Reluctant Chaos.

Red Carpet Trailer?
I'm not sure I know what this means, but GameTrailers.com is asking you to enter your mobile number to be able to watch "the Red Carpet Trailer for Halo Reach" on September 10th, "exclusively on your mobile device." (I simply cannot imagine what trailer for Reach would benefit from being seen first on a tiny mobile screen, and I've never heard of a Red Carpet Trailer, and the small print says that you're signing up for a 'subscription' that will get you "~1 message/week"... but if this all sounds good to you, by all means, sign up.) Thanks, NulllllL. Update: Kibbles says you get a lot of crap, and the trailer is made by GT, with existing footage. You've been warned. (Louis Wu 22:09:38 UTC)

GT Firefight Vids
Kibbles pointed out a pair of Firefight Walkthrough vids, narrated by Lars Bakken - color's off (it was filmed off-screen), but the commentary is great. Go watch at GameTrailers. (Louis Wu 16:59:52 UTC)

Reach Game Audio Profile
SoundWorks Collection interviewed the Bungie sound team about Halo Reach and the audio work that went into it - fantastic interview, with footage of some pretty cool tools they've developed. Go watch! (urk was first, but if you want to comment, DHalo started a thread on our forum.) (Louis Wu 19:44:00 UTC)

Reunion
Red vs Blue Revelation Chapter 19 went live yesterday, even though a huge chunk of the staff spent the weekend at PAX - those guys are seriously devoted! If you were at PAX yourself, and saw the Rooster Teeth panel, you saw this episode and the next one, on a big screen - but if not, no worries, the season ends next Monday. This one (and the next) are chock-full of Monty Oum's amazing CG - fantastic battle sequences. Go watch!

Halo 3 ODST: The Hero of Canton
Firefly fans who play Halo will love this new tribute from FSMGproductions - The Hero of Canton has been illustrated beautifully in Halo 3: ODST. Feedback can be added to the thread they started on our forum. (Louis Wu 02:10:45 UTC)

Clean community, now with sound
That ODST Dude, over at Bungie.net, has started a project to put together an audio collection to go well with Reach. If you have some nice and clean song suggestions, jump on in and play now. (Cybrfrk 15:26:07 UTC)

Deliver Hope
Halo: Reach - Deliver Hope, the latest live-action trailer (following up 'Birth of a Spartan') is now live on both Halo Waypoint's website and YouTube (thanks, GrimBrother One). Reception on our forum seems to be mixed - but I have to say, I liked it, quite a lot. We don't know a lot about the timeframe of this piece - but I'd guess it's just a tiny bit before the game starts. Go make up your own mind! Update: it's available for download (in 720p goodness) from Bungie.net, as well. (And sorry to CYBR, who beat me on this by 3 minutes.) (Louis Wu 14:07:03 UTC)

Get your visual flair here
Or here. As mentioned in the Bungie Weekly Update, you now have the opportunity to start moving your couch, recliner and posters into your fancy Reach lobby. Don't forget to paint the baseboards. (Cybrfrk 03:48:42 UTC)
