TTL invades Chicago
Tied the Leader knows how to put on a LAN party. Swing by ChicagoL4Nd, a writeup of their most recent get-together that took place over Memorial Day Weekend in Chicago. LOTS of pictures, lots of memories… if you weren’t there, you should have been. When you’re done reading about the fun they all had, read about the money they raised during that event for the Tied the Leader Foundation – $1400 is making its way to help wounded combat vets, with donaters going home with some super-cool keepsakes. Home-brewed beer in a custom case, TTL-branded clothing, and more – great stuff! And a great cause. Good Game, TTL. Good Game.(Louis Wu 15:12:25 UTC)

Cortana… she glows
A very cool series of pics are up at Hawty McBloggy’s this morning – a body-painted Cortana, who glows in the dark! A full description of the process, along with pics of the in-progress paint job, are included. (Mostly safe for work; she’s wearing pasties and a thong.)(Louis Wu 14:50:11 UTC)

Arby ‘n’ The Chief, and more
We took yesterday off, to spend the day with family… but there wasn’t a huge amount of Halo news anyway. One thing I ran across was a trailer for Arby ‘n’ The Chief, Season 4 – the first episode isn’t actually out yet, but the trailer gives you the idea that it will be using Reach. While you’re watching Jon cjg’s work, check out One Life Remaining: S2: Episode 2 – went up a couple of weeks ago. Drama ensues.(Louis Wu 14:35:40 UTC)

Happy Father’s Day
Just a quick note, to apologize for the lack of Halo news… and wishes for a Happy Fathers Day for all those who are fathers, or who have fathers in their lives. News tomorrow!(Louis Wu 21:18:59 UTC)

AH: Weekend Achievement Hunt

At the end of E3 week, why not join in one of our 3 Achievement Hunt’s going on this weekend:
Returning as host, we have D347h5D00r is going for the multiplayer achievements in F.E.A.R. 2.
Show that you’re not afraid by joining in from 12 Noon EST on June 19th.
Contact him here on Achievement Hunter, or via his Gamertag: D34d5D00r
Next up, RoboDevil is going down and dirty with some heavy metal multiplayer in Brtal Legend, you’ll need the Hammer of Infinite Fate DLC for the achievements. I’m told there’s also be something called Nazi Zombies in Call of Duty: World at War so make sure you ask him about that.
This looks to be a where and when sort of thing spread across June 19-20.
Contact Gamertag: Masked Cleric to arrange a suitable time.
Finally, there’s MunsOsl is bringing the Firefight to the Covenant in Halo 3: ODST, he’s going to be going for the standard Firefight achievements on June 19th and then a Legendary Co-Op Campaign on June 20th. Make sure you get in on the right session by contacting him here on Achievement Hunter or Gamertag: A7BurstHeadshot
However, if people want to run through the Mad Moxxi DLC on Borderlands you should make your voice heard. MunsOsl might trade this for the Legendary Co-Op Campaign if more people want to do this on the 20th. Although, he does ask that no one use modded weapons for this.
If you want to host a future Weekend Hunt, post the details in this group thread to get some frontpage attention.

RT: New Shirt: Rated M for Mature
Let the world know that if a game doesn’t have a giant M on the box, it sucks. The, “Rated M for Mature” shirt features artwork seen in this week’s PSA on the back. Your friends, family and the general public should know that you like your games to have shotgun decapitations, limb stuffing in hidden orifices, de-skinning, decapamemberments and more!

RT: Drunk Tank #66
This week’s Drunk Tank (aka Rooster Teeth Podcast) was recorded ahead of time due to the fact most of us are out of town at various Rooster Teeth related trips. This week Geoff discusses the “motorcycle” accident he was in the other day. You can get the podcast via iTunes, Zune Marketplace, or via direct download. You can always check out more info about what we discuss and talk about the podcast with other listeners at our official podcast group. Enjoy!
If you have some time to spare, we are conducting a survey on people who listen to the podcast. It is totally optional and if there are any questions you don’t want to answer, please feel free to leave them blank. There is a short 3-4 minute version and a longer 6-7 minute version.

AH: E3: Top 5 Nintendo Trailers
So E3’s in full swing with all the console developers showing off their best of the best. Since it’s been a while since we had the Top 5’s, how about an E3 special. I’ll be doing the best trailers from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo as well as all the Multiplatform games. So, let’s get started with Nintendo, who fans and critics alike are picking as their top press conference of this year, and for good reason too, check out these five titles that’ll be hitting the Wii:
5. Kirby’s Epic Yarn
It’s been a while since this pink dude had his own game, and this new title gives him exactly that with a rather interesting twist, but still the same 2D side scroller fans should be used to.
4. Metroid: Other M
Samus also returns in Metroid: Other M, the 3rd person action, 1st person shooter that’s rolling up a storm! No pun intended!
3. Donkey Kong Country Returns
Bananas, barrels and mine carts means only one thing, another Donkey Kong Country!
2. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The brand new adventure for Link, which looks to be combining the style of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, and combining it with Wii Motion Plus to make a rather impressive showing.
1. GoldenEye 007
It may have different graphics, levels, a change to the gameplay and even the new Bond. But fans of the classic like myself can’t help but get warm feelings of nostalgia at the idea of a remake for Wii!
Thanks to GameTrailers.com for all the E3 trailers!
