Since they lost their games, Uruguay and Germany get to play each other for the “honor” of third place at the World Cup. The winner is essentially the Ms. Congeniality of the soccer world for the next four years.

RT: Portal 2… Hard
I’m posting today’s comic from a hotel room in London, while playing a World Cup drinking game with Gavin and Griffon. I may not have a Portal degree, but I’ve got a PHD in drunk.

Top Ten Halo Screenshots: Brute-tastic!
This week’s Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots is called ‘Brute-tastic’ – fans have taken a huge variety of cool Brute shots… and Hawty’s collected ten great ones here. They range from awesome to funny.(Louis Wu 19:44:58 UTC)

Noble Doodle
pete_the_duck brought us word of a Twitpic done by Penny Arcade’s Gabriel (and retweeted by Bungie) – it’s Noble Team, in Gabe’s inimitable style. Yeah, it’s true, Emile stole Jun’s sniper rifle… but dang, it’s still a great pic!(Louis Wu 16:21:44 UTC)

Reach Bonus Armor Chart
Confused about DLC armor for Reach, and what’s available to you? FyreWulff whipped up a pretty slick little matrix that should help you figure out exactly what you’ll get, depending on where and how you buy.(Louis Wu 16:21:09 UTC)

McFarlane Reach Series 1 Photos
TDSpiral pointed out Spawn’s full-on Reach Series 1 Action Figure photos; lots of poses of each figure, and where you can get them. Some of these are killer!(Louis Wu 16:20:48 UTC)

Halo: Goodbye (SoM Remake)
Tycho2001 stopped by with word of a remixed version of The Siege of Madrigal, a piece of music that Marty originally wrote for Myth, but has included in every Halo game as an easter egg. I like this version! Give it a listen.(Louis Wu 16:20:15 UTC)

Gaming’s Greatest Debate
xxjuicesxx was the first (that I saw) to point out a new tidbit from IGN – it’s an IM chat between fans of a couple of heavy-hitting shooters, and it might make you chuckle. (I enjoyed it.) Thanks to Avateur for pointing out the full article. (Louis Wu 16:19:50 UTC)

Halo Action Comic
We got word from neo56695 about a ‘Halo Action Comic Chapter 1‘ on YouTube; it’s a story told in screenshots, with added fades and music. There’s no dialogue, and no motion… but it’s still an interesting experiment! Chapter 2 is live, as well.(Louis Wu 16:11:08 UTC)

It’s like a kidney stone. Only bigger.
Yesterday’s Bungie Weekly Update went live, as expected – the Chris Opdahl Q&A is still happening, just not until next week. Luke Smith stepped back in to fill in the fans – and though it’s short, it’s still pretty sweet. Bungie will have its first Release Candidate of Reach by today – congrats! And there’s some additional information about Reach armor, and what you can get, and what happens if you DON’T get it. There’s a bit about a fan who participated in Bungie Day, even without an Xbox. There’s some really interesting info about Reach Achievements – and an opportunity to jump to conclusions which many forumgoers (here and elsewhere) have already availed themselves of. And there are some cool Achievement-based wallpapers for your iPhone (or similarly-sized device). Go read! You can, as always, read it in our Weekly Update Archive. (This was live last night, even though the newspost wasn’t.)(Louis Wu 16:09:56 UTC)
