Heads Up
It’s Headwear Saturday at Hawty McBloggy’s – check out a Daily Doodle she found, where MC finds out that Stormtroopers don’t always have it so good, and then take a look at a cool piece of wearable headwear (though it’s 75 degrees outside right now – I’m not thinking much about fleece at this point). Tomorrow: a salmon for your scalp! (No, not really.)(Louis Wu 19:31:39 UTC)

AH: The Weekend Hunt
Those of you who listened to this weeks Gamers Rapport, would know something’s been cooking in the Community pot for a little while, and now is the big reveal.
Setting up groups for hunting multiplayer and co-op achievements, or even playing together as a community, is always something that goes down well but can sometimes do with a bit more exposure. So from now on, hopefully every Friday, I’m going to be posting right here with any gaming event happening in the coming weekend that you, the community, are invited to take part in.
We want as many community run events as possible, so if you’re planning one, post the details in this AH group thread.For the first hunt, HGN_Kevin is looking for people to join in gathering the Prey multiplayer achievements.
On Saturday, starting at 1 PM PST and ending around 6 PM-7 PM PST or until everyone’s done getting achievements.
If you want in, contact Kevin through his gamertag: NightHawk673We also have URGGrifball hosting Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for some achievements and general multiplayer fun.
Things will be kicking off Saturday 6:00 GMT, until whenever.

AH: Mass Effect DLC Updates/Announcement! Again!
Fragger here:
This seems to be happening all the time now huh, well now its time for some updates on Mass Effect 2’s forthcoming DLC:
Kasumi – Stolen Memories nothing new announced but firm confirmation that it will be a paid DLC and will be released on April 6th.
Alternate Appearance Pack was also announced today. This will give Garrus, Thane and Jack new outfits. I would expect in the coming months that the rest of the squad (and hopefully Tali next) will get their new outfits. This will be releasing next week (March 23rd) and will be the cheap price of 160 points.
And finally The Firewalker pack which features the Hammerhead tank will be coming out on March 23rd as well! This will still be free to all users with the Cerberus Network attached to their account.
Now none of these items have known achievements at this time but this could change at any time! Till next time.

AH: Trophy Murder!
Who is up for murdering some more Gods?? Gus and I are back, heading through Olympia, picking up Eyes, Feathers and Horns. Woo hoo!
I’m enjoying this game quite a bit. It does hurt to not get my achieveables, seeing the trophies light up is pretty neato too.

It’s all shiny. And stuff.
The Bungie Weekly Update continues the pattern of the last few days – information, and lots of it. Swing by and give it a read – there’s lots of clarifications about new game modes and social features. You can, as always, read it in our Weekly Update Archive. (In fact, this week, there’s a tangible advantage to doing so – the UI screens are linked to large versions, a feature not (currently) available on the Bungie.net copy.)(Louis Wu 00:14:44 UTC)
