Not getting enough Reach content? (I think you might have a problem, but…) Bungie’s just posted a bunch of renders (mostly from the recent article on 3D artwork, but also some cutouts) in their Reach Project section. Check ’em!(Louis Wu 18:26:06 UTC)

urk pointed out Little Big Halo, a mashup of Halo 3 and the PS3 game Little Big Planet. Misunderstandings are SUCH a bother…(Louis Wu 18:24:04 UTC)

A few months ago, we mentioned a Halo hoodie from Mark Ecko – it was $88, and sported a ‘Noobs Get Pnw3d’ shoulder patch (with the UNSC Eagle carrying a teabag). If you sort of liked it, but couldn’t stomach $88… check it out now. It’s $19.99 plus shipping. (Still has the stupid shoulder patch,…

TeamXbox has interviewed Frank O’Connor about 343 Industries, the Halo franchise, and what has and hasn’t worked in the past (and where that might lead in the future). Overall, a fascinating read – I was a little disappointed with his response to ODST (he was relieved, in a way, that it wasn’t more successful than…

The only Halo comic we know of that’s updated since Monday is over at Hawty McBloggy’s – ODS Steve #58 takes a look at the dangers of being Emile.(Louis Wu 16:17:43 UTC)

Game Informer has posted their second ‘Noble Team Profile’ – this one focuses on Emile, Spartan 239. (Thanks, Kibbles and CaneCutter. The main page, as pointed to by CaneCutter, has a bigger pic – but Kibbles’ pic has no watermark.) Our forum has a lot to say about this one.(Louis Wu 15:29:15 UTC)

Last night, Bungie.net posted ‘Halo: Reach – 3D Art Evolved’ – it’s an article which details the development of various assets through the years, with some great comparison shots. 3D Art Lead Scott Shepherd discusses how Bungie attacked the asset issue in Halo: Reach. Go read the rationale behind some of the changes – and…

Yesterday, ElzarTheBam pointed out that Microsoft had announced X10, an industry expo for showing off upcoming titles and hardware. (The last one of these was X06, at which both Halo Wars and the Peter Jackson/Wingnut Halo project were announced.) There wasn’t much info, so I let the news go – but today Joystiq is claiming…

Last summer, there were a bunch of posters distributed at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, celebrating Halo Legends – we just got a note from ostemb0r that three of these are on sale on eBay from a UK seller (Toei’s ‘Odd One Out’ | Bones’ ‘Prototype’ | 4C’s ‘The Babysitter’). If you live in the…

Crackshot53 recognized a brand-new (in OUR world) gun called the ‘Kel-Tec RFB’ when he looked at the new DMR in Bungie’s Reach assets. Screenshots are in his first post, and a video of the RFB firing can be found here. Seems like a pretty solid gun! Maybe Bungie liked it too?(Louis Wu 19:24:44 UTC)

Thanks to Hyokin, who noticed the new Hard Justice (Season 2 Episode 13) is live – things aren’t looking good for Bernard and his friends!(Louis Wu 19:24:21 UTC)
