Noble 7 Figure – Available Online
A few days ago, T07WRX5 let us know that the ComicCon Exclusive Noble 7 Action Figure was available for order on the web. Well, it turned out that Toys R Us was a little premature with the page… and while they didn’t pull the entire page offline, they DID remove the ‘Order Now’ button. It was put back this morning, though, so if you’re not going to ComicCon, but still want to get your hands on this figure, swing by and place an order!(Louis Wu 12:47:49 UTC)

AH: Gears Of War 2 20x XP Weekend Details
So it is finally here! The event we all helped happen will be starting July 22nd at 12:30 PM EST (-5 GMT) until July 25th at 8:00 PM EST (once again -5 GMT). But there will be some extra things going on in those Horde Waves as the official release states:
If thats not enough, were shaking up Horde with waves of Bolters (Boltok-slingin Drones), Boomers (every flavor), and Bloodmounts (oh, craprun!).
A wave of Bloodmounts. Combine that with Flame Throwers and it might be a good time to snag Is It Hot or Is That Just You? as long as you play in a Dark Corners map. No matter what though, people will have a ton of fun this weekend playing some Gears 2 and snagging those level achievements. One final note:Rod Fergusson (the guy we all follow on Twitter now) did slyly mention that 20x won’t be the highest Gears 2 will get . . .

Woohoo – Bungie.net’s back in the blog business! (Welcome back, urk!) Today’s offerings include a couple of new vids:- ChrisOfTheDead is back with Shenanigans 9 – six and a half minutes of funny situations and wtf moments.
- Urine This Together is a bizarre (but pretty funny) machinima that really shouldn’t be explained.

Long Live Halo
Computer and Video Games points out that the CV of a 343 Industries employee lists current work as ‘designing new levels and missions for the next Halo project’ – evidence that the next Halo project is, indeed, underway. (This really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone; we knew about the Halo team as early as 2 years ago. Sooner or later, they HAD to start actually building a product, right?) Thanks, ElzarTheBam.
