Halo Reach Fails, Wins, and WTF Moments Episode 20 has been posted (thanks to NeoGAF’s Pnut for pointing it out) – it’s the season finale, so all of these clips have appeared elsewhere… but I’ve only caught a couple of episodes, so most were new to …

Running a bit late this morning – sorry. Black Six noticed yet another update to Isaac Hannaford’s blog – check out the Sabre concept art! This one started in 2D, but was mocked up in 3D because he wanted to be sure the model held up from all angles.(…

The Achievement Hunter team has posted Achievement HORSE #25 – it’s just PIG this week, because they’re really really busy right now, but in general they’re happier even when they die. Go watch! Thanks, ZZoMBiE13.(Louis Wu 21:36:05 UTC)
