2good4u2 whipped up a custom Halo 3 poster a while ago, and printed it up for his wall. The pics are lousy (phonecam) – but the concept rocks.(Louis Wu 23:02:12 UTC)

Time Glitch wrote up a review of Halo 3: ODST – specifically targeted at folks who haven’t bought it yet. Wondering if buying it just for the Reach Beta is overspending? Go read and find out.(Louis Wu 23:01:48 UTC)

I dug up the keys to the Weekly Update Archive, and placed this week’s Update (described super awesomely by mnemesis yesterday) in it. I’ve been told it’s useful on lower-bandwidth connections. Sorry for the delay.(Louis Wu 23:00:52 UTC)

Looks like we missed a Firefight Friday Challenge – not sure if they’re still doable after the fact, but I guess FyreWulff would let you know. Cloud City is set on Windward, and has four difficulty options. Check it out! (Louis Wu 23:00:28 UTC)

Back from Internetless World – let’s see if I can catch up on some of the stuff that showed up recently. (mnemesis did a FANTASTIC job of keeping the front page from being empty – but jumping in to run HBO periodically is like sipping from a firehose. Sometimes, you just need to come up…

The Weekly Update went up, er, yesterday (news is hard!). Lots of info about the Invasion gametype and Boneyard (the map it’ll be played on), playlists available during the Beta (it’s super awesome), stuff that won’t be in the Beta (it’s super awesome – wait! No Race?!? That’s NOT super awesome!), control schemes and other…

Part 4 of The Return, the Halo: Evolutions motion comic, is available today on Waypoint. Log in and check it out! You can also view the Waypoint schedule here, to see what they’ve got in store for you.(mnemesis 15:48:56 UTC)

Doh! Totally forgot to note this earlier, but the Double EXP playlist is live for the weekend, and it’s Bigfoot! No, wait, that’s not right. What’re those scary monster things – lots of movies about ’em lately? Vampires? No, er… ooh! Zombies! Yep, zombies, that’s it. What was I saying?(mnemesis 21:16:59 UTC)

chris10023 emailed to let us know that episode 28 of the Halo 3 Fails series is up on YouTube. Go watch!(mnemesis 21:04:06 UTC)

NsU Soldier posted to the forum this tidbit: Another remix of the Carnage Carnivale ViDoc, the beta, its super awesome. Nicely done by gutterXshark. Go watch!(mnemesis 20:55:09 UTC)

Over on the Comm Chatter, you can find Anoj’s translation to Bungie’s Weekly Update from last Friday. Go watch!(mnemesis 20:54:21 UTC)

Avateur noted earlier in our forum that IGN has an interview with Chris Carney about some of the thinking behind multiplayer elements of Reach. Go read!(mnemesis 20:53:46 UTC)

The final Reclaimer (for this week, at least) is available from TTL Demag0gue. Go check out Episode 248.(mnemesis 20:53:07 UTC)

Another Friday is upon us, which means it must be time for Friday Caption Fun at Hawty McBloggy’s. I hope he’s not calling me, I think I left my cell in the car…(mnemesis 15:08:17 UTC)

Eagle-eyed readers of the front page (what?) will notice that our regular programming has changed a bit. Just a heads up that things are going to continue to be a little different over the next day or so. ::blinks three times fast:: One important addition that I’m so thrilled to see is that Fearless Leader…

Hawty McBloggy’s got cake. Mmmm, cake.(mnemesis 01:29:24 UTC)

There’s a nice hands-on over a Tech Talk, a Singapore-based daily blog that gives another rundown on what we can expect to see soon in Reach. Give it a read!(mnemesis 01:26:04 UTC)

Firestorm12 sent word that Halopen Pencast 19 was up a few days ago. They go over their own projects, Reach, farewell to Halo 2, and their machinima experiences. Check it out!(mnemesis 01:00:16 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue, undeterred by the flood of Reach info, continues his week-long Reclaimer update; today’s episode (Ambush, #247) shows the Cavalcade looking to turn some tables…(Louis Wu 15:17:29 UTC)

Goodness. The same guy who immortalized Geoff Keighley’s rather odd question about Battle bros is back, with a remix of the first Reach ViDoc. I’m gonna have trouble getting that out of my head… thanks, Zeouterlimits.(Louis Wu 15:05:24 UTC)
