Things are starting to come together
You might remember a pretty amazing animatronic Elite costume we mentioned a few times last year – turns out Pete Mander, the guy behind that costume, is the Production Designer for Halo: Faith. ManKitten noticed a link to some information about it on their Facebook page (I couldn’t find it just now) – looks like it’ll be in use in the movie! Update: nomis78 found a video showing off the turret they’ve built, too.(Louis Wu 11:10:09 UTC)

How can you go wrong with ‘smorgasbord’?
So a couple of nights ago, Frankie dropped a small teaser in our forum – Karen Traviss’ Halo work was coming along nicely. Cool, but I didn’t front-page it; there wasn’t much to say. What makes it news now? Leviathan whipped up a cover for the book, based on the conversation. And let me tell you – I’d buy ANY book with that cover.(Louis Wu 10:19:27 UTC)

Of Little Birdies and Such
Just as an FYI, someone on the 343rd floor of a particular Industrial building put a little hint out that today might be a good day for news. No promises, just saying that’s what I heard…(GrimBrother One 04:57:07 UTC)

Linktacular
I don’t want to flood the news feed with links, so I’ll just post them all in one handy post.- Episode 19 of Anoj’s Top 10 series features some outlandish splatters. Definitely worth the watch!
- In the new episode of "Headshot," Mr. Sark and Chris Lockey talk about the Action Sack playlist. I loved the TMNT song used at the end. It’s so nostalgic. (Darn you, underwater level! I mean that.)
- If you missed the MLG Dallas Reach action, G4TV has you covered with this wrap-up video.
- The new "Optical Overload" comic strip features a weapon that would ruin the Halo series for me forever. Some bad language is used for those at work.
- Reach managed to break back into the UK Top 10 chart, rising from No. 19 to No. 10 for the week ending April 9. Way to go, Australia! Wait, that’s not right…
Go look!(Hitmonchan107 02:55:49 UTC)

Nice Digits, Bro
Mikasangelos over at NeoGAF found a dynamic Reach signature maker. Designed by Alex Reed, the site pulls in your Matchmaking statistics to make nifty little cards like this one. It doesn’t use Firefight, Campaign or Custom Games statistics, so you won’t be able to show off your sweet Firefight K/D. (Hitmonchan107 02:51:56 UTC)

Another Art Book for the Coffee Table
NeoGAF’s Hypertrooper pointed out a new Halo art book entry on Amazon. "Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds" is a 192-page visual review of the Halo series, including "Halo: Legends." According to Amazon, it will release on October 18. The book will also feature another foreword from Frank O’Connor. Only time will tell if it’s as paradigm-shifting as his previous one.

AH: Best. Achievement. EVER.
Hey guys, I’ve got something special for you today. As you know, some of our friends over at Ska Studios recently released The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, a kick ass new XBLA title. One of the coolest things about the game though is shown in the video below.
They came to us a while back and asked if we could let them use some Red vs. Blue materials in The Dishwasher, namely the “Bleep Bloop!” sound bite and graphic. We got them the assets and they turned Achieveables into a real thing. Watch the video below and learn.
