Thanks to XerxdeeJ for the heads-up about a pretty cool Reach Multiplayer Trailer analysis, done by TTL’s Hoovaloov. Rather than step through the trailer frame by frame, as others have done, he’s taken a more systematic approach, and grouped changes and intriguing bits by content, rather than reveal time. It’s very comprehensive, and I’d say…

We forgot to mention this yesterday, but Mythic Brawl is once again the Double XP Weekend playlist.

There’s another post up on the Reach Developer Blog – always fun when an engine breaks! Great pic of the studio – a surprising number of people at work at 11pm.(Louis Wu 14:04:40 UTC)

Eight new pieces are up in this week’s Fan Fiction update – solid collection! Go read ’em.(Louis Wu 14:01:33 UTC)

Seraph XXVII stopped in to mention that the remaining action figures he’s selling for a couple of good causes will go up on eBay tomorrow – he gave HBOers first crack at buying this stuff, but now it’s time to offer it all to the general public. We’ll keep an eye on this! (Louis Wu…
