The HaloGAF Montage (Reach Edition)
ncsuDuncan took on the task of putting together a montage video made up of clips from HaloGAF members – and last night, the 14 minute monstrosity was released. It is NOT your typical montage – while it certainly has its share of unbelievable gameplay and sniper insanity, it also has hilarious goofing around, fails that will have you in tears, and plenty of GAF in-jokes. Really well-done, even if you’re not a GAF regular. Take a look! Update: Duncan re-rendered the film, fixed some blackscreen issues, smoothed out some transitions. New version is linked above.(Louis Wu 17:36:05 UTC)

Celebrating Subs with Eggs
Greenskull and Nak3d Eli worked on a Reach easter egg video together – you can watch it from either viewpoint! Greenskull’s version is here, while Nak3d Eli’s is here. This is a rather long vid (more than 20 minutes in Greenskull’s take, or 10 minutes in Eli’s take), and if you don’t already know what they’re doing, you might be very confused… but it’s pretty entertaining for the amount of fun they’re having. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:31:37 UTC)

Podtacular 290: Community Impressions
Download | Shownotes
With all the information that was released last week, it’s time to turn attention to the community and see what you all had to say. The submissions we got were very in-depth and while we didn’t read them verbatim on the show, they are definitely good reads. It’s good to see other fans out there that are heavily infested and are genuinely interested in the success of the game and give their honest opinions. Click on the shownotes to see the submissions in full. The limited edition was announced a couple of days as well, which looks frag-tastic. Kete from The Running Riot joins us for this two hour show. (He manages to make the show longer than usual and cause me pain while editing.) Enjoy

All’s I’m saying is, it’s pretty bright for a dark studio
My temporary departure from the internet this week had no effect whatsoever on the prolificity of Bungie’s front man, DeeJ. On Monday, he posted a Breaking In article focusing on Noah George, an IT guy who’s been working at Bungie in one capacity or another for a couple of years now. Swing by to see how he got where he is today. And when you’re done with that, check out Community Write Along, a look at some finalists in a competition to see who could turn a sentence fragment into a cool short story. You get to help pick the winner! (Well, you could have, if we’d posted this quickly enough. Sorry.)(Louis Wu 18:21:19 UTC)
