hotshot revan brought our forum’s attention to a rumor essentially claiming that 343 Industries is looking to remake/remaster the previous Halo games (or at least Halo: Combat Evolved) using the Reach engine. Plausible? Huge stretch? Go look and discuss… (GrimBrother One 16:22:55 UTC)

AytonHunter wants everyone’s thoughts on a new Reach Machinima short called “I Sense Danger!“. I’m just impressed John Cleese found time in his busy schedule to do voice work for them… (GrimBrother One 15:52:35 UTC)

Apparently, Spencermx14 was feeling a little front-page envy when he saw Nevan’s Birthday Cake, so he wanted to show off his own. Pretty sweet! (GrimBrother One 15:16:02 UTC)

You might have noticed that the newsposts today have a new name attached to them… a grateful welcome to GrimBrother One, who’s stepped on board as our freshest newshound. (Heck, he was doing a lot of the work from the cheap seats already… we figured it was only fair to move him up on stage.) What does this mean for you, the Halo fan reading this? Not a huge amount, actually – except that if you’re planning on emailing us news, mail it to halo@bungie.org, rather than directly to, say, me – because when I’m not around, news in my inbox just sits there.(Louis Wu 15:07:36 UTC)

For those of you who might not have noticed, Pete Cooper let everyone know on the Operation Chastity site that the OC Warthog built for their film is featured in the November issue of Land Rover Owners International magazine. Awesome! Also, Pete’s most recent blog entry mentions a website revamp and a new monthly mailing list. Go get your fan flick fix!(GrimBrother One 14:33:10 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue dropped by to let every know that the latest Reclaimer issue is out, and it just happens to also be the first of its series done using Reach. Looking good! (GrimBrother One 14:06:41 UTC)

POSTMORTEM from Forward Unto Dawn sent along a YouTube video he found that takes a pretty clear look at what the hidden voices are saying in the first Datapad in Halo: Reach. Pretty cool stuff to let your mind chew on, and it’s only the first one! It’s the first time I had seen it… go check it out! Update: Apparently, the reason I hadn’t seen it before is because in my spoiler-avoiding first few days of Reach, I missed this thread by thebruce0, where he directs us to LOTS of awesome things he has found so far, regarding the datapads and more. Go check it out if you missed that too! (GrimBrother One 12:23:46 UTC)

Just after the release of Halo: Reach, Turn 10 Studios made an announcement in their Weekly Blog about a custom Reach-themed car that would be sent out to Forza 3 VIP’s. A couple of weeks ago, they made good on that promise. If you play Forza 3 but have ignored it lately for obvious reasons, go look to see if you have a new ride! (GrimBrother One 12:10:18 UTC)

Last night Burnie, Jordan, Geoff and I went to see Jackass 3D here. I love the theater, but it was an odd juxtaposition.

…and I won’t give you any spoilers, but I had to walk out for one scene to avoid vomiting.

Just look how fast time flies when you’re spending almost all your free time playing Reach. Another Achievement Hunter community race is upon us. Rings Race: Part I is a race to complete Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, and is now open for sign-ups.

Put on your red running shoes and leave your Gamertag in the race comments if you would like to participate. Sign-ups will be open until the game is released on October 13th (tomorrow). That is also when the race will start.

P.S. I wish I could bleed gold rings IRL…

Earlier this summer, we mentinoed a Fan Fiction project being undertaken by a number of Bungie.net groups – MaxRealflugel wrote to send along a flyer for the final product, and promise that the contents would be available late this month or early next month. Keep your eyes open!(Louis Wu 18:59:41 UTC)
