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!

Things that make you go ‘hmm…’
Been a little while since I used that headline… but Laird found a collection of images at Sterling Davis Photo labeled ‘Biscuit Filmworks/Halo’, showing off some greenscreened photography of what LOOKS like a Noble Team Spartan. (The armor looks like Kat, but the model’s a man.) This went down in Los Angeles, but there’s no date anywhere. Could this be related to tomorrow’s Bungie Day reveal… or is it something else? Curiouser and curiouser… Update: found a blog entry tied to the gallery; this was posted a week ago Saturday. As Davis mentions, Biscuit Filmworks was involved in the ‘Birth of a Spartan’ piece – maybe this is a followup? Update: Guess these were causing Sterling Davis a headache; they’re offline now.(Louis Wu 19:27:27 UTC)

Birth of a Trailer
There’s an interesting breakdown of the visual effects used to create the ‘Birth of a Spartan’ trailer for Halo Reach over at fxguide – discussion includes choice of environment, how the external shots were done, what was modeled and what was real, how the medical stuff was handled. Pretty fascinating stuff! Thanks to Mariachi for noticing.(Louis Wu 19:14:51 UTC)

AH: Hulu Plus Coming to Xbox LIVE
With the announcement of Hulu Plus, comes news of the service coming to Xbox LIVE early 2011.
From Major Nelson:We are taking the time to ensure that the Hulu Plus experience for Xbox 360 is the best on TV, and like our other entertainment experiences, it will not be a port, but rather a custom experience that leverages the Xbox LIVE community features.
Unfortunately for the rest of the world, it’s only coming to US Xbox LIVE Gold members.
Have fun with your awesome Netflix and now Hulu Plus US.

AH: AHTV: Risk Factions – Saturday, July 3rd.

‘Sup, fellas?
How’ve you all been getting along without drunken AHTV shenanigans? Not very well, I’d wager. NEVER FEAR! I am here to fix everything.
The Time.
Saturday, 3 PM PST (6 PM EST)
The Place. AHTV
(Also, David’s house.)
The People
Myself, Knuckles Dawson, Adam Pisani
The Game.
Risk Factions. Drinking rules to be determined. (Got ideas? Post them in comments or message me. Can’t be ridiculous because if anyone remembers what will only be referred to as “The Monopoly Incident”; drinking should be in moderation.)
See you there? Yes. I fucking will.
Fin.
