Greetings, citizens!
Knuckles here with a special, if not a little simple, DeathSpank video. There are a few things going down behind the scenes that make this video more special than meets the eye. First off, Adam Pisani, of Fallout 3 and Force Unleashed video fame, moved in with me at the end of June, which means I have a wingman for my video voice overs. Secondly, because of the move in, I get to use a Hauppauge HD PVR to capture my Achievements, emphasis on HD. So this is my first (of many) HD videos for Achievement Hunter, and (first of many) VOs done with Adam. (Let me say that capturing in Standard Definition, and having to play SD on a 67′ HDTV is really off putting.) Either way, good things are on the way from the Great White North. Stay tuned, and enjoy this first HD vidjo from yours truly, albeit a quickie.

Build your own Oonsk
Wow… Belakor built a cardboard Oonsk, and then created a papercraft template for the little guy, so you can make your own. I know some folks who might be unhappy about that…(Louis Wu 14:44:52 UTC)

Finished!
onebitrocket pointed out a new tweet from Marty O’Donnell (5:17 am his time!) which says ‘Finished!’ Does Marty mean his work on Reach? His work on an Official Reach Soundtrack? That bagel he started at 5 am? Here’s hoping we find out at some point. (Louis Wu 14:44:15 UTC)

Hinted-at Goodies for Reach Legendary
Eep – almost missed it, but one of the articles disussing the media event taking place at Bungie today mentioned ‘Digital Content’ and ‘Making of Videos & Extras’ as components of the Legendary Edition – it’s unclear whether this info came from some official (but as yet not public) release, or just verbally from a Bungie employee, or even whether it’s just a misunderstanding by the writer. When we know more, we’ll let you know! Thanks, The BS Police.(Louis Wu 18:24:53 UTC)

Reach Avatars delayed a week
This was mentioned a few days ago, but I forgot to follow up on it – last Friday, Major Nelson clarified that the Halo: Reach avatars coming out on Avatar Marketplace (we mentioned them on Bungie Day) will not, actually, be out until July 22. Sorry for the wait! Thanks to darknesshasfallen for reminding me to look again.(Louis Wu 18:09:39 UTC)
