There is one thing though, due to the sheer awesomeness of this deal the Steam servers are getting wrecked! But patience is a virtue, keep trying and you’ll be enjoying Portal soon enough.

An armory for the little guys
7he grunt w/a plasma pistol noticed that ThinkGeek is selling weapons for your LEGO minifigures – and several of them are Halo-related. The collection includes a Halo pistol, a plasma pistol, a needler, and an energy sword. It also includes the pulse rifle from Aliens, Megatron’s Walther P38, an Auto-9 pistol from Robocop, a blaster from Blade Runner, and a phaser from Star Trek. Nice!(Louis Wu 19:14:57 UTC)

Around The Ring – Episode 16: Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing DLC
Download | Shownotes
Yay! I’m back! This week the show is all about The Passing, the free (har har har) DLC that came out for Left 4 Dead 2. It’s out a little late because Dust Storm was on a road trip home, and he’s the one who uploads stuff apparently. Joining me this week we have Knuckles Dawson from Rooster Teeth’s Achievement Hunter site, Alchanii who is a friend of Knuckles Dawson, and returning is Lono from Sarcastic Gamer (although only for the first 20 minutes). Not joining me this week is Funnyboy who decided to vanish, losing all of his intern points in the process. This episode was probably the funnest one I’ve done so far, and it’s you’re definitely going to like it. Plenty of fun in the bloopers as well.Here are some links for some things we mentioned in the show:

As for episode 15…
Let’s just say issues came up. Namely REALLY bad audio from my Frankenstein headset. However now that I have my new headset I’ll be able to re-record it, and hopefully soon. The quality on it is great. I hung onto all the submissions from the last show, so when I put the call out I’ll list all the people whose submissions I have. So you will have a second chance to submit into the show, or replace the one you have there. Although I’ll probably be combining the show on Dark Carnival with a show on Hard Rain. More to follow when I get there.For now, enjoy episode 16! It was a lot of fun.

Humpday CC Vids
Videos for you this fine Wednesday at Bungie’s Comm Chatter:- Majority put together a Halo Reach Beta montage – lots of power weapons, lots of multikills.
- KnightxofxLight wanted to show off the beauty of the Reach pistol – it’s just a minitage, but it does a great job of showing how timing and distance are related.
Good stuff.(Louis Wu 16:56:29 UTC)

Helmet Shenanigans
Master Ph0bia stopped by with a link to a thread he started at Bungie.net – it shows off a bunch of different helmets that are viewable with a Boneyard glitch that happens occasionally. (He also included some helmets found by modding, it seems.) If you’re interested in seeing some of the variants that might be available in the fall, check it out!(Louis Wu 16:41:48 UTC)

CoD: 1 and 5, Halo: 2, 3, 4
The Halo: Reach Beta wasn’t popular enough to bump Modern Warfare 2 from the top of the LIVE Activity list last week – but it DID put ODST at #2, itself at #3, and Halo 3 at #4. (Shows that there more folks played Halo 3: ODST without touching the Reach Beta than there were folks that participated in the Friends and Family program…)(Louis Wu 16:11:17 UTC)

PGCR Episode 36/Beta Special
SK1LL4XED sent word that PGCR’s ‘Beta Special’ podcast is now up – and they’ve announced the code winners. They actually gave away 3 codes, not two. Go listen – they also discuss the beta in detail (game flow, community concerns, opinions about the upcoming game). (Louis Wu 16:06:08 UTC)

AH: Magic The Gathering Update Issues
Well if you are like me and was ecstatic to see new Magic The Gathering: Duels Of The Planeswalkers DLC release today in the forms of unlock codes for all decks to have them fully upgraded early and the expansion pack creatively called: Expansion 2. Now what ends up happening now is that when you go to play the game a title update gets tossed your way (no matter what by the way) and all you get is a black screen. So for now be aware that you cannot play the new DLC in Magic (clearing your cache lets you play the game BUT not new DLC).
Fun notes tho: To my knowledge this is the first Arcade game to go beyond the 250 G mark (to 300). Interesting indeed. Down the line WotC has stated that a 3rd DLC will hit in the Fall raising it to 350!!!
Also this update allows you to earn two Avatar Awards in the form of a T-Shirt and a prop that is you with a deck of cards!
