This episode is very much behind, but in light of recent events, it has to come out to make way for our next show. We have Insane and Roche from our good friends over at Forge Hub discuss their anticipations of what Forge will be like in Halo: Reach. There’s only speculation and hopes at this point, so we dive into the history of Forge Hub and the support from Bungie. A great blooper reel will come out later. Enjoy.

Bungie: Halo PC users will be shown some love in Halo: REACH
Interesting. Sawnose, THE guy that pretty much runs the Halo: PC shop at Bungie, posted a message confirming that owners of Halo PC with a valid CD KEY will be able to use the key somehow in Halo: REACH. At this time, there are basically no details as to what could happen.
Sawnose said this on the B.net forums:
“Yes, that was me in the podcast, and in fact we were discussing details at the office today. We should have the final feature ready for use in about a month.
We’re dealing with the keygen problem as best we can. For starters, I pulled a list of keys that had actually been used as of a month or two ago, and we’ll probably validate against that list. So people won;t be able to just get the keygen now and claim the… reward. (i.e., people who didn’t even bother to pirate the game 🙂 It also means that buying one of the few remaining copies at retail won’t help you anymore.
So yeah, we’re on it. Start spreading the word on other sites that Halo PC users should check here a couple weeks before Reach launches for details on what to do with the key.”
So, I guess that’s one heck of a way to sell a few more copies of Halo PC.
I wonder what the CD KEY could be used for? Could it be that Halo PC users can select the Flamethrower as a load out? That’s my guess.

RT: Comic Con
Hey Everyone,
Here’s today’s comic. Sorry it’s a tad late. I’ve been in the booth at Comic Con all day, and just now had the opportunity to sneak away and post it. If you’re in San Diego right now, you know how crazy things are. Also, why are you reading this and not stopping by booth 1437 to say hi? Sheesh. Some people…

AH: Achievement Hunter Anniversary Celebration continues this Friday on AHTV.
As we all know, Achievement Hunter’s second Birthday is coming up this Wednesday, We’ve got a spiffy Game-Day with Burnout Paradise set for that, but that’s not all. This Friday also marks the second anniversary of Achievement Hunter TV, so I feel that’s a great place to start for a weekend of AHTV events, Y’know, after I get my iPhone 4. I’m still hashing out the details, but I know that the following things will most likely/hopefully be featured:
Gears of War 2 Horde waves 1 – 50 on Nowhere. (I’m trying to get Jack and/or Geoff to attend, no guarantees.) Want in? Have the ability to Skype and play games simultaneously? Lemme know in the comments.
Alan Wake on Nightmare + Collectible playthrough
Limbo <5 death playthrough, plus all Achievement Eggs, in one sitting (could be bitchy)
Fallout 3 and all the DLC, quests and stuff I need to do since last time.
Maybe a Live triumphant return of Gamers Rapport with Episode 15 (checking on FraggEAR)
HolyCrapICanDirectFeedMyDreamcastNowSoAllMyGamesE verAlwaysF orAwesomeA ndGreatJus tice
Bioshock 2 on Hard.
Maybe a 24 hour broadcast on Saturday. Maybe.
So that’s what I’m thinking so far. Any ideas? Requests? Scheduling help? Sound off in the comments.

AH: You know!
Who else is excited for the Burnout Paradise Community Day? I know I am! “But, but, but that is two more days from now! What will I do until then?” you may ask. The correct answer is: Watch today’s fresh new AHWU!

RT: Chapter 14 Now Online!
The next exciting chapter (that’s Chapter 14) in Red vs. Blue: Revelation is now available, including a Sponsors Only extended version.
We’ve also been hard at work on the DVD, and you can now pre-order the Red vs. Blue: Revelation DVD and the Recollection DVD Set (including all three discs: Reconstruction, Recreation and Revelation) from the Rooster Teeth Store now!
The DVDs ship 9/14.
But Chapter 14 is available today!

Panoramas, Revisited
Minime637 put up a few panoramas built from nearly-forgotten Reach Beta screens (and some Halo 3 stuff, too). Nice!(Louis Wu 23:03:38 UTC)

Overlooked SDCC Coverage
I managed to miss an entire Halo-related thread recently at NeoGAF, and therefore missed some content that made it out this weekend: Gamepro put up a Multiplayer Review written by Dan Hsu (thanks, Lazslo) and IGN hosted a Forge Preview (thanks, Deadly Cyclone). Go read!(Louis Wu 23:01:08 UTC)

Waypoint’s Reach Panel Recording – final bits
Didn’t notice this last night, but the original four parts of the Halo Reach panel just covered up to where the Forge World ViDoc was shown to the audience; I thought that’s where they ended recording. However, two more segments have been posted; Part 5 is the ViDoc (with some fan clapping at the end), while Part 6 is the close of the panel, with Sketch describing the Reach packaging options and the Reach Xbox… and a bit more. (Surprisingly, the Q&A session at the end is NOT included.) Go watch!(Louis Wu 20:53:39 UTC)

Just Another Montage Monday
Not getting enough montages in your diet? Might I suggest Metamucil? Alternatively, you could try Bungie’s Comm Chatter; today they’ve got a LOT.- The Animatage is a actually pretty cool – thestrangestick redid the Halo 3 HUD with a crayon – decent gameplay, and great editing, nice combo!
- Contractus is a tritage, with gameplay from Kampy, Nv1ncible, and Poisonous Slinky – very nice editing, lots of great gameplay.
- Red Bull Sniper’s Serious Business is billed as ‘funtage’ – I could do with less teamkilling, but otherwise it was fun.
- The Bottom Line is a community Trick video put together by HIH – some very nice jumps!
Go watch ’em all… and if you see urk, be sure to tell him to have a funday (oh oh whoa)! Oh… and while you’re in the montage frame of mind… Halo3Forum’s Halo 3 Movie Competition is in the voting phase – swing by and vote!(Louis Wu 18:40:08 UTC)
