From our man in the field...
Hitmonchan put up another pair of posts on NeoGAF last night - here are some of the goodies he uncovered:
- MachinimaRespawn has posted another promo piece - this one stars Mrs Sark, Hutch, and the Dead Pixel. While I'd appreciate the help... I could live without the underwear.
- Justgameblogger is hosting a Reach FFA tourney on LIVE, with a Gamestop giftcard (or MS Points) as the top prize. Game day is next Wednesday.
- TheGamersHub posted a review of the Defiant Map Pack - probably not TOO many people still undecided about this, but you never know!
- NightshadeMachinima posted a Halo: Reach rendition of the Men in Black theme song. Pretty nicely done!
- jimexproductions1 cut a Halo Reach Trailer - it's not perfect, but it's pretty cool nonetheless! Go watch it.
(There's more stuff than that; I only pulled the best links.) Okay, my slaving all day over a hot forum post is done - I'm gonna go rest. (Louis Wu 15:45:33 UTC)

BWU For Me and You
Bungie once again provides us with a lovingly crafted weekend-readying reward for making it through the Monday-Thursday grind. The Weekly Update contains some knowledge nuggets regarding chess, PS3 hiring, and world-changing wristbands. Top it off with some gorgeous Covenant-themed backdrops and a fun Blame Stosh, and you've got yourself a kickstart to Saturday, mojimbo. Also available in Inverted Contrast Edition.

JointOps interview with Certain Affinity
Andrew Derksen let us know about an interview with Certain Affinity's Bill Fox and Adam Crist on a recent JointOps podcast. (The podcast is "Call of Duty" themed... but there's plenty of discussion about Halo products CA has built.) The interview starts at 20:43 in the 90-minute podcast. (Louis Wu 14:50:49 UTC)

Waypoint Wednesday Will-Call
If you're lax about visiting Halo Waypoint, never fear, bs angel has your back. Stuff you might have missed this week so far:
- A 3D screenshot of a jackal on LNoS (awesome!)
- A Halo 3/Reach montage from HwnT called 'Forever' - loved the clutch exterm on Midship CTF, and the ending repeat on Countdown
- A fan submitted 29 Windows Phone 7 Reach-themed wallpapers - you gotta find SOMETHING you like!
Go explore; there's tons more. (Louis Wu 21:35:03 UTC)

Before I go... eBay'd Halo Stuff
Eep, I lied - time for a few quick updates before I leave. Lessee... I missed this one last night: Crudeoyle posted a bunch of Halo goodies on eBay, if you're in the UK. In-the-box Halo 2 Joyride figures, and a couple of Halo-themed controllers... take a look!

PGCR 69
SK1LL4XED let us know that Post Game Carnage Report has released Podcast 69 - and yeah, their 'adult-themed' podcast definitely takes advantage of the numerical positioning. Lots of Halo discussion - go listen! (Definitely NSFW.) (Louis Wu 18:41:53 UTC)

Halo Art, Livestreamed
AngelicLionheart stopped by yesterday to mention that a friend was drawing a Halo-themed birthday present for him... live. Now, it's obviously not live any more - but the first part of the creation is still online on Zack's (the artist) Livestream page. It's a couple of hours long - go see!

Obligatory
Mc_leprechaun pointed out that a recent VG Cats comic was Halo-themed... and I gotta say, I laughed. Update: iPants pointed out that we already mentioned this when it went live - almost 5 months ago. WOW, is that comic a slow updater! (Sorry, my bad.) (Louis Wu 16:49:47 UTC)

Huge Reach-themed giveaway at Marissa's Bunny
Marissa's Dad sent word of another Reach Console giveaway at Marissa's Bunny, the site devoted to raising awareness for Infantile Spasms. This one's pretty massive - the winner will walk away with a Reach Special Edition xBox 360 Slim, a Kinect unit, a copy of the Reach Legendary Edition, and a $500 Gamestop gift card. Wonga. To be entered, you have to vote for the blog and let them know (read the instructions for full details). You can also get extra entries by letting them know what you'd do with the card. Not bad! This one runs for two weeks (it started a couple of days ago) - what do you have to lose? (While you're there, be sure to learn a little something about Marissa's disease, and consider dropping something in the hat.)

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)

Halo 3 Special Edition Birthday Cake
Jose, also known by his gamertag, TECJ0001, was surprised by his wife on his 29th birthday with a very cool Halo-themed cake, from Black Label Desserts. Click thumbs below for full-sized versions. Awesome!
It's a close call - do you eat it, or leave it out for display? (Louis Wu 15:56:32 UTC)

Monday Movies
A few new movies for you, courtesy of Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- Bungie All Stars Submissions Week 3 shows off lots of fan-created takes on the "Helmetless Master Chief" theme. Some are pretty good. Some... not so much.
- I'ts been a little while since we saw a Rube Goldberg Forge creation... this one's Star-themed.
- Dutchy's latest montage is Blue Skies, a mix of Reach and Halo 3 footage. Very short clips.
Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:56:18 UTC)

More VGL Coverage - including Mike S.!
Banshee_105 was also at the VGL performance in Seattle last week - and recorded not just the single Reach piece we mentioned this weekend (with a bit extra - interview material with Marty and Mike Salvatori), but also the other Halo themes performed. Go watch/listen! (Louis Wu 18:53:29 UTC)

A Cold-Blooded Christmas
Vengeance417 released a Christmas-themed Halo: Reach music video on Christmas Eve... but only got around to telling our forum about it last night. The humor's a bit black - but I found it to be pretty well-done! Go see. (Louis Wu 13:28:18 UTC)

Halo Concept Art Theme
Over at NeoGAF, xxjuicesxx noticed a Windows 7 theme composed of concept art shots for Reach - good GRACIOUS those are gorgeous. (If you're not on Windows 7, and you'd still like to view these shots - there are 13 of them - you can change the .themepack extension to .cab, and extract the images with a standard RAR extractor.)

Anchor 9 Theme on XBLM
ElzarTheBam noticed that Xbox LIVE Marketplace currently has a Halo: Reach Anchor 9 Theme available for purchase (240 MS Points, or about $3). No previews I can find at this point. Update: there's a video showing off the theme on YouTube - thanks, D3T0N8R. (Louis Wu 12:51:00 UTC)

2100 MSP and a Banshee
Bry noticed an article on x360a.org about a new Reach-themed promotion for the UK/EU market. Looks like you can grab 2100 points and get a Banshee Avatar Prop for a nice price. Here is the Amazon UK listing for it if you are interested. While you're shopping, Crudeoyl also noticed an offer from Game UK that might grab your attention if you haven't picked up the Reach LE yet. Thanks guys! (GrimBrother One 17:00:59 UTC)

Quadrofailia
If you looked at the Prize List this time around for our Guilt O' Lantern contest, you'd have seen that the First Place winner will receive (among other things) a "Halloween-themed Mister Chief painting or drawing". A Waypoint Tweet today pointed to what that might look like... (thanks, bs angel) (Louis Wu 21:55:49 UTC)

Catchin' Up
Videos we missed on Bungie.net this afternoon:
- TheYugiohForums put together Episode 3 of their Halo Reach Top 10 series - ths one looks at First Strikes. #6 is some great use of Evade.
- ReadyUpLive has Green's Machines, Ep 1 - Killed by the Guardians - it's Rube Goldberg, on meth.
- whitesoxrule put up a screenshot montage of Halloween themed pics... good stuff.
Little late for lunch-break entertainment... sorry. (Louis Wu 01:10:48 UTC)

Good Luck is a running theme in Halo
Halo Waypoint sends along Episode 3 of the Top Ten Luckiest Kills in Reach. Why do I always seem to be on the receiving end of moments like these?
