Audio Play Celebrates Bungie Day
Dream053 had created a 13-minute audio play in honor of Bungie Day ’08 – we didn’t mention it then, and he’s reposted it, so we’re mentioning it now! Go listen to John, Steve, and Joe’s EXCELLENT Recon Road Trip. (Louis Wu 17:17:14 UTC)

Customs Clan Bungie Day Video
Okay, as much as I want to make sure everyone sees that truly awesome Bungie Day video from Bungie and RvB, we DO have a bunch of Halo news in the queue, and a lot of it is fan-created celebratory material, so let’s get to it! First up: hyokin whipped up the Customs Clan Bungie Day Video, which actually made me chuckle. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:08:11 UTC)

AH: Germany vs Spain WORLD CUP MANIA!
Netherlands defeated Uruguay in their match which is the first time our prediction has been wrong. This time we simulate the Germany vs Spain match. Will we be right or wrong? Only time will tell! I think this is probably the best simulation we’ve run so far.

RT: Bungie Day PSA 2010
Hey everybody. Today is Bungie Day and we are celebrating with an all new RvB PSA video. I don’t know if you have heard, but everyone’s favorite developer is busy wrapping up their latest game, so they asked us to help out with a new video PSA for all their fans. Doing that meant spending almost four days locked in a room with Reach — so what were we going to say? No?
We didn’t say no.
Check it out and Happy Bungie Day!

Deja View
So Bungie made it clear that there wouldn’t be any new maps coming, or Xbox LIVE Dashboard Themes, or gamerpics, or any of that stuff. Sketch even made it clear that they needed to outsource the actual product, because the studio didn’t have the time to give it the love it deserved. Are your expectations low enough? Go download ‘Deja View’… you won’t be disappointed. Congrats to EVERYONE involved; there is so much goodness embedded in 5 minutes that you may have trouble picking up all the clever tidbits by yourself. What do YOU see?(Louis Wu 13:02:48 UTC)

Happy Bungie Day 2010!
According to
StoshSketch (via HBO and NeoGAF) Bungie had to “outsource” its Bungie Day gift for this year… not sure what that means, but in a few hours I suppose we’ll find out.UPDATE:
StoshSketch goes on in that NeoGAF thread to say that this year’s Bungie Day surprise is not a dashboard theme, a downloadable map, or the Halo Reach beta reactivated, but will be announced on the web today and will hit the marketplace the day after.UPDATE: The Bungie Day surprise was outsourced to Rooster Teeth.

AH: Crackdown 2 Achievement Race
The time has come for yet another achievement race here on Achievement Hunter. Crackdown on Crime is a race to complete Crackdown 2, and is now open for sign-ups.
Don’t worry, our friend Jack is working hard on an orb map so that collecting them won’t be such a daunting task. There are also some video guides up already on the game page, so check them out!
Alright agents, leave your Gamertag in the race comments if you would like to participate. Sign-ups will be open until the game is released on July 6th (tomorrow). That is also when the race will start.
It’s time to crackdown on some achievements!
