SnowJP 360 stoped in with word of ‘Beyond’, a new video from DWT Productions. It’s all glitches and tricks in the Reach Beta, and there’s some funky stuff. (I think Bungie should be watching this one, too – there are some bugs that seem like they should be fixed…) (Louis Wu 13:55:50 UTC)

Pete Cooper let us know that the cast for the teaser for Operation Chastity (the fan-driven live-action Halo film) has been announced – swing by their website for full details! (Louis Wu 13:55:13 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy posted up a fitting farewell video to the Reach Beta – it’s just a clip of a corpse in the Swordbase mancannon… but it’s waving goodbye. For a while. Pretty funny!(Louis Wu 13:53:38 UTC)

It looks like a release date has been announced for Halo: Reach – an Associated Press article (hosted by Google, or Yahoo Finance) mentions that the game is out on September 14 worldwide (September 15 in Japan). A slightly different view (‘worldwide’ is swapped for ‘US and UK’) is shown by Computer and Video Games’…

BierWiser released a ‘Lawltage’ – funny clips from Halo 3 Matchmaking. Not the first time he’s done this – but the first time without a bunch of betrayal clips in it (they were funny to him, not so much to the rest of us). This one’s actually funny. Go see.(Louis Wu 18:23:13 UTC)

Over at Hawty McBloggy’s, the latest Grin + Bear It looks at spawning… in every sense of the word, I guess.(Louis Wu 15:28:34 UTC)

So if you checked the scenery closely on Powerhouse, you might have noticed a ‘Luminateboard’ in the Office. Yesterday, RVideo let us know that he’d been poking through the game files, and found ANOTHER one of these, in the Boneyard map files – but this one wasn’t empty. In fact, it looks more like someone…

harabek stopped in with word of a machinima music video contest – the band Take It To Sunrise wants you to create a music video for them – any game, any style (of course, Halo is a fine choice), and you could win some MS points, the band’s latest album, and more. Basic details on…

It’s a busy Sunday morning here, but this newspost is time-sensitive; if you read it in the next two hours, you’ve got a chance to bid on a fan-made Halo Reach helmet on eBay. Current bid is $217.50, closing time is 8:33 PDT this morning. Thanks, rolandk73 (who also found an already-purchased Spartan CQB Helmet…

General Vagueness noticed (before I did, dangit!) the cake on our front page, signifying our 11th birthday today – in Internet years, that means HBO is ready for Depends and a steady supply of Ensure. Thanks to all of you for being here… we couldn’t do this without you!(Louis Wu 11:10:01 UTC)

Nabsuh stopped in with a teaser from Legendary, an upcoming project from AVCOM Productions – looks great!(Louis Wu 11:09:07 UTC)
