  • SBG BTB Tourney – The Finals are On

    We got writeups from both TruthPastor SBG and NAMLOCO SBC about the SBG BTB Tourney Semifinals – Saved by Grace was victorious over the Swat Krue, and Tied the Leader beat Outcast Reborn, so these two teams (SBG and TTL) will meet in the upcoming finals. If you want to watch the SBG matches, they’re…

  • Halo: The Ballet

    Taco Power was asked by a friend for a song to use in a university project demonstrating modern ballet – the end result mixed ‘Halo’ and ‘The Siege of Madrigal’. The dancers are amateurs – but it’s pretty cool to see Halo used in this context!(Louis Wu 13:23:37 UTC)

  • AH TV goes live in one hour!

    Just a reminder, Achievement Hunter TV goes live in approximately 1 hour. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Geoff will not be attending (he is seeing a doctor about his MASSIVE CRAB OUTBREAK). The part of Geoff will be played by another actor to be named later. Anyway, if you want to see us kicking ass in…

  • AH TV: Great Success!

    Alright folks, Achievement Hunter TV had another successful broadcast. In just a couple hours of play I managed 12 achievements for 410 gamerscore. We had over 650 unique viewers during that time as well. You guys kick ass!! For those of you keeping count, I (Jack) have picked up a total of 18 achievements live…

  • EA does viral RIGHT

    This pretty awesome. Levinator25 on YouTube uploaded a video from last year’s Tiger Woods title showing off what he considered a funny glitch: Some companies would probably get all pissy, showing off a bug in their title. Well, like all good programmers say, “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.” EA responds with this: Now…

  • It's Spreading 2

    Luke hates the Mac, but if he wants the comic up today, he’ll have to use one… Or he will have to talk me into uploading it. Which he did. Enjoy.

  • Madden 09: Now Here's a Monster…

    Please enable JavaScript to enjoy this flash-based video. Find out how at this link. Hey guys, after playing Madden NFL 09 last night during Achievement Hunter TV I figured I should put together a couple of achievement vids for those who may have missed the broadcast. In today’s vid we pick up the “Now Here’s…

  • Madden Touchdown Achievements

    Please enable JavaScript to enjoy this flash-based video. Find out how at this link. Today we pick up three different touchdown achievements in Madden NFL 09, and I embarass myself in front of the entire internet…for your pleasure. I expect this to hit Digg and then I have to get reconstructive surgery to hide from…

  • Sky falls, you feel like it's a beautiful Dev Day

    If you’re a sponsor, you can see today’s Dev Day at this link. –edit by gus– I told Ben to remind everybody we will be at PAX next weekend and he forgot. Our panel is Friday night at 6:30PM. Be there.

  • Halo 3: Arrival

    There’s a new Flash reproduction of the opening sequence of Halo 3 – or at least a parody of it – over at Newgrounds. You’ll learn things about Johnson you probably didn’t want to know.(Louis Wu 11:53:16 UTC)

  • Halo Wars: Wolverine

    newguy2445 let us know that there’s new information (including pics and a video) of an anti-air vehicle being added to Halo Wars – the Wolverine. It made me go back and look at Roger Wilco’s page here – he had a Wolverine (though it’s a totally different kind of vehicle) and a couple of models…

  • Anti-Piracy Vid

    uralllame was inspired by an anti-piracy clip on a DVD he was watching to create his own version for modded Halo content. Go watch it – it might not change your mind, but it’s cute. Thanks, Dragoncoals.(Louis Wu 11:49:27 UTC)

    They have the power….

  • Wake me up when September Ends

    The Bungie Weekly Update is online over at Bungie.net (and in our Weekly Update Archive) – it’s actually a pretty interesting read, this week. Lots of info about what’s coming in September (and, unfortunately, what’s not), plus teasers about PAX and Bungie’s showing there. Swing by! Looks like Mid7night was first. (The September changes actually…

    The time has come for HiddenDRAGON to hand over the crown to someone else… More like school is starting back up and for most of us, the real world comes before the virtual one. No worries friends, FOTO’s up and coming community member Duty Boy T has stepped up to the plate of continuing one…
