I hope that you will do this for me.

Shhh its time to be sneaky. Brownman joins in as we get the Stealth Assassin achievement in Crysis 2!

So a few days ago, we mentioned an article on the blog ‘Away From Keyboard’ – the newspost was a little dismissive. (To be clear: I didn’t ridicule the article because it was negative about Reach – I ridiculed it because it was ridiculous.) The editorial staff of the site contacted us, and asked us to point out that this was an article written by a guest, and possibly not indicative of the normal output of the site. (We did.) Today, a new article has been posted – it’s as gushing as its earlier companion was derogatory. It’s a nicely written love letter to Reach, and to Bungie for creating it – go see!(Louis Wu 15:26:27 UTC)

ElzarTheBam noticed a sale on Xbox LIVE Marketplace – full details can be found in this post. Highlight of the bunch (for me): Reach’s Noble Map Pack is 50% off, at 400 MS Points.(Louis Wu 13:47:43 UTC)

iMonkey777 decided to try his hand at panorama-making. “LD Spear demise” is easily my favorite, though all are fun. (Louis Wu 13:47:10 UTC)

nomis78 put together a Reach funtage – it’s just fun clips. The reason it’s being frontpaged is because it was made entirely on an iPhone – clips were imported from Bungie.net renders, and compiled with effects from iPhone’s version of iMovie. I must say… I’m impressed. It’s astounding what you can do with a device that fits in the palm of your hand! (Louis Wu 13:46:32 UTC)

Machinima uploaded three new Halo videos on Monday:

• “Reach’s Last Day,” created by soFallenfilms, is a “Cloverfield”-style documentary about an alien structure on Reach. Pretty interesting!
• “Frostbite: Chapter One,” directed by Ty Coker of Blood-Chain Productions, is set in 2347, when according to this series, the sun begins to burn out. Interesting script, although the voice acting could use some work.
• “Videogames Suck” is a video from AxeInfection that pokes fun at game companies. The title says it’s a Reach machinima, but it’s actually made in Halo 3. There’s also a bit of foul language.

Give ’em a watch! (Hitmonchan107 05:08:52 UTC)

CruelLEGACEY Productions is at it again with a new Community Spotlight; this time on Ox Planet Media Productions. The feature includes a nice get-to-know-you session with the head of the group, as well as a look at their new machinma series, Recon 7. Go and check it out!(GrimBrother One 04:32:52 UTC)

Hey guys, we’re testing out a new live streaming thingy over on YouTube and will hopefully be broadcasting our live recording of AHWU in about 20 minutes (2:30pm CST). Feel free to watch! (Assuming it works right.)

Hopefully some of you caught our live broadcast this afternoon. If you didn’t, here is the result of what we did! Enjoy!

After a week’s worth of ridiculous Halo news coverage (putting the entire HBO staff to shame), we finally reached out and made Hitmonchan107 an offer he couldn’t refuse. (Well, actually, he COULD have refused… but he didn’t. So shut up.) A warm welcome, then, to our newest news hound!(Louis Wu 23:27:57 UTC)

MaxRealflugel wonders if the UNSC was doing enough in their battle against the Covenant. Swing by The Secrets Within to see his argument!(Louis Wu 19:50:36 UTC)

Don’t have a star for your Halo: Reach nameplate yet? Don’t worry, Bungie’s kicked off Week 14 of its All-Stars contest – it focuses on Hunters. Screenshot one, draw one, whatever – but get urk a Hunter by Thursday night and you’re in the running.(Louis Wu 19:42:32 UTC)

Forge Cafe has posted a Community Montage – thanks to urk for the heads-up. Some great clips, some silly, some wtf – nice collection.(Louis Wu 19:30:04 UTC)

There are thousands of fan-created maps available on Bungie.net – Bungie’s Comm Chatter has decided to highlight one that’s currently in beta. Watch the video, and then get back to the creators about what works and what doesn’t. (Too many angles for my taste… but I’m sure there are plenty of players who’ll love it!)(Louis Wu 19:29:45 UTC)

Goosechecka let us know that Grifball Hub’s Kalbelgarion has created a tutorial vid called ‘Grifball 101‘ – if you’re getting hammered and not enjoying it, go watch!(Louis Wu 19:12:03 UTC)

The Angry Birds end is in site! We’ve only got a handful of these videos left (until of course, new updates are released).
