It’s a week old – but Virtual Shackles took a nice shot at Phil Spencer, who talked about upping the frequency of Halo releases in the future. Ouch!(Louis Wu 18:25:07 UTC)

americanista123 is back with another blooper reel filled with clips of Bungie employees… not always winning. (Sometimes winning big, though.) Thanks, urk!(Louis Wu 18:21:33 UTC)

Stuntmutt seems to be amused that you can play as a male or female Noble Six in Reach – witness the latest One One Se7en. Oh, Muttley…(Louis Wu 15:29:45 UTC)

Brian Gilmore sent word that the newest article up at Geekscape’s Teabag Prevention site will help you use Armor Lock to its greatest effect. If you find yourself skipping over this Armor Ability because it keeps getting you killed, you should read th…

chris10023 let us know that Halo Reach Fails Episode 1 is now online – oh, so many new opportunities for failure now! (The Epic Fail of the Week is hilarious.)(Louis Wu 15:28:53 UTC)

TDSpiral was impressed by the Bungie-exclusive (well, for now, at least) Skull Helmet in Reach – so he drew it. Killer.(Louis Wu 15:28:36 UTC)

Cody Miller has been outspoken about his unhappiness with Reach’s story. He’s now taken that dissatisfaction to a new level – in song. Story Ain’t Deep would make Mark Knopfler cringe, but is pretty funny. His Nirvana parody, ‘Smells Like Retcon’, is l…

Hedgemony surfaced last night to announce that HedgemonyLovesHalo has hit 800 images – the man has NOT lost his touch. Go look.(Louis Wu 15:26:40 UTC)

Avateur was the first to notice the writeup last night of the most recent Reach Humpday Challenge – Bungie took on their own forum moderators… and lost. (Now, to be fair to Bungie, the two games they lost were very, very close – one kill in the firs…

Missed this yesterday, but FyreWulff pointed out that the Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend Playlist is Prepare To Drop… and that his Double EXP Weekend Archive has been updated. Jeremiah SAID there would be more…(Louis Wu 15:23:17 UTC)

Wow. RC Master posted a film showing off a snippet from a SLASO run on Nightfall that lasted just 4:15. (The WHOLE RUN lasted that long, not his video.) That’s… absurd. (My Legendary run of that level – with just cosmetic skulls on – took 83 minutes…

BlueNinja has written up a Halo: Reach Pan-cam guide, for folks who want to take really cool pictures from outside the levels. Awesome beans!(Louis Wu 20:38:35 UTC)

Over at Bungie.net, CanuckErrant has compiled a transcript of some radio broadcasts that can be found scattered throughout Multiplayer levels – they tell a story of a Spartan Red Team. What a fantastic touch, Bungie! Thanks, sharpsniper99. Update: wow,…
