News from Elsewhere Sunday (Part 1)
Summary One (from NeoGAF's Hitmonchan):
- Wezi82 built a Halo/Minecraft mashup - pretty cute!
- EuphorianFilms released Area 616 - the color filters go a long way to making this feel a bit more serious than the typical Halo machinima.
- Sanity Not Included has a Reach segment in its latest episode. Don't watch the rest of the video at work. Armor Lock haters will not appreciate this. (There's a followup at the end.)
- All-Ways Wireless tweeted about a Reach tournament on April 30 in Salt Lake City, UT. (Hitmonchan was kind enough to provide a Google Maps link.)
Many thanks to Hitmonchan for his news coverage all week! (Louis Wu 16:32:07 UTC)

Still more from the GAF upstart
...and... more from Hitmonchan. Halo: Evolutions is up for an Audie (the Audiobook industry's equivalent of the Oscars) in Science Fiction/Fantasy. BenStreeper is building a Reach armor suit out of Fedex boxes. justCrafted wants your clips for a community montage, and has a teaser to show you what he'd do with them. And My Gamer Connections is offering a chance to play Reach with MLG Pro Ghostayame. Go soak it in! (Louis Wu 21:00:48 UTC)

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)

Hey! Let's make a skateboarding movie!
Pretty handy little glitch for machinima makers - Stone Angel lets you walk around without actually walking, and without carrying a weapon. aCardboardTube put the video together (he's Bungei Boy on LIVE), Hitmonchan (really? AGAIN?) found the link. (Louis Wu 15:48:39 UTC)

Halo Reach Advertising Wins Big
Remember how we mentioned Reach was up for awards in 9 categories at the MI6 Advertising awards? Looks like they went home with 13 actual awards. Whoa. (Thanks (again), Hitmonchan.) (Louis Wu 15:39:29 UTC)

Someone should get that man a website
Hitmonchan continues to scour the internet for interesting Halo content - there's no way I'm gonna complain, because he's making my job quite a bit easier. Here's a roundup of the goodies he found last night:
- Someone whipped up a Noble Team logo in Minecraft. Nicely done!
- If you didn't make it to MLG Dallas, there's a nice collection of photos on Flickr. (If you're just interested in the ones tagged Reach, those are here.)
- Halo Waypoint denizen Noble29 played Ashes, from Halo: Reach's official soundtrack, on piano. Wow. Really great.
- Two new vids from the MachinimaRespawn crew - The Dead Pixel saves the day for a frustrated Firefighter, and Mr Sark helps out when Campaign partners are hard to find. Funny stuff.
- IGN's posted their Top 10 Kills for 04.07.11 - Angry Hogs made me laugh. So did Windshield Wiper. (Hitmonchan doesn't like IGN's video player, so he linked to the DailyMotion mirror.)
- Away From Keyboard has written up an article explaining why Halo: Reach is the worst multiplayer experience in the series. I didn't get that far into it; his #1 complaint was present in Halo 2 and Halo 3, as well, and his #2 complaint says RIGHT IN THE DESCRIPTION that Reach is actually better than Halo 3. But if you're unhappy with Reach, go read this and commiserate.
- A video game company in Franklin, TN (just south of Nashville) is hosting a 1-day video game convention tomorrow - and there'll be a 4v4 Reach tourney to play in.
Okay, my work is done. Is it beer time yet? Update: we got word from Esc., an admin and founder of Away From Keyboard - the article we mentioned was contributed by a guest author, and does not reflect the opinions of the site in general. In other words - explore what else they have to offer, there are other viewpoints listed! (Louis Wu 14:07:32 UTC)

More rounded-up news from Hitmonchan
Hitmonchan is still at it - he's got news about a matchup between the PMS Clan and 2old2play (hey, look - it's old people vs girls!), traditional media coverage of the GameTruck (a semi tricked out with gaming goodies that will come to your party for some cash), and MLG's Reach Top Ten Episode 8, loaded with snipers. Go explore! Update: and even MORE! Submit your Twitter Tuesday questions to Playboy's Jo Garcia (NSFW background image) between now and Monday night and you're entered to win a Reach Legendary Edition. Plus, she's giving away Defiant Map Pack codes right now. (Louis Wu 18:54:47 UTC)

A cornucopia of links
Hitmonchan is really pushing for that reporter opening - check this GAF post out. LEGO Reach weapons, machinima, and awards - Reach is up for awards in 9 categories at the MI6 Game Marketing Conference Awards. Not bad! (Louis Wu 16:16:13 UTC)

Make Tourneys Better, and Win Free Stuff
NeoGAF's Hitmonchan (who's gonna get hired if he keeps this up) pointed out a couple of news bits - an MLG video producer is looking for feedback to improve their live stream offerings, and Tor is giving away four Halo prize packs - you've got until tomorrow at 1pm (Eastern) to enter.

Delivering Toys and Hope
NeoGAF's Hitmonchan found a couple of cool news tidbits - the next batch of McFarlane Halo Reach figures has been announced, and Scott Metzger, VFX artist on the "Deliver Hope" video, talked to Chaos Group about the project. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 19:11:27 UTC)

On the set of Halo: Faith
If you check Halo: Faith's Twitter feed, you'll find some interesting photos - props, costumes (1 | 2 | 3 | 4), and more. Check it out! (Filming should wrap up today.) Thanks to Hitmonchan for the reminder. (Louis Wu 18:47:00 UTC)

Halo: Reach - Death
Over at NeoGAF, Hitmonchan found a music video, created by spar7acvs, which does a pretty neat job of matching Halo Reach cutscene video to the lyrics in a song by White Lies. Give it a watch! (Louis Wu 16:36:04 UTC)

Another look at Defiant
NeoGAF's Hitmonchan wrote up a Defiant Map Pack review for The Independent Florida Alligator - pretty good read! (Louis Wu 22:35:09 UTC)
