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)

Nevan received a pretty cool cake for his 21st birthday – go see! (Louis Wu 18:58:48 UTC)

CaptainTony stopped in to announce that Halopedia has moved – it’s back on its own domain now, no longer a part of wikia.com. For a site as big and content-rich as this one, that sort of news warrants a front-page post.(Louis Wu 18:57:38 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 just finished up some cool RvB Revelation fan art – Tex faces off against The Meta. Nice work!(Louis Wu 15:07:23 UTC)

I need to start looking for these more often; I keep missing updates. Here’s what’s new:

• One Life Remaining S2: Episode 11
• Arby ‘n’ the Chief S04E08: “B&” (2/2)
• Arby ‘n’ the Chief S04E09: “Digital Fruitcakes” (plus the production script)

OLR is a little confusing, Arby ‘n’ the Chief is not. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:06:18 UTC)

Avateur and UnrealCh13f met up with some Tied the Leader guys in Matchmaking last night – and the picture story of their contests is fun to read! Go live vicariously.(Louis Wu 15:01:29 UTC)

Leviathan stopped in with pages 4 and 5 of his ‘A Fistful of Arrows’ graphic story – with every page, I’m more and more impressed. The art is spectacular, and the dialogue NAILS the characters. It’s not often I wish I could hold off viewing fan content until it’s finished… but this time, I’m frustrated that Page 6 isn’t up yet! Go see.(Louis Wu 14:57:55 UTC)

Over at Gamespot, Marcus Lehto talked at length about the making of Reach, and the decisions the Bungie team struggled with to bring us the game we’re actually playing now. It’s a fascinating read – some of this info has made it out before (usually in interviews), some is new (at least to me). Go read it, and see Reach through the eyes of its Creative Director. Thanks, darthbob.(Louis Wu 14:56:29 UTC)

MoonDawg Productions put together a remake of the Starry Night Halo 3 trailer… from within the Halo: Reach engine. Nice job! Thanks, GrimBrother One.(Louis Wu 14:55:16 UTC)

SicktistiK sent word of ‘A Prelude to Capulin 3‘, which is the first Reach-based montage in his and Emptyproductions’ Capulin series. It’s 9 minutes long, so I’m not sure what the FULL Capulin 3 will look like… but if you’re up for a lot of Reach multiplay footage, swing by!(Louis Wu 14:54:39 UTC)
