Game Changer
Thanks to XerxdeeJ for the heads-up about a pretty cool Reach Multiplayer Trailer analysis, done by TTL’s Hoovaloov. Rather than step through the trailer frame by frame, as others have done, he’s taken a more systematic approach, and grouped changes and intriguing bits by content, rather than reveal time. It’s very comprehensive, and I’d say that he’s done a great job with his guesses. (His insights into game modes are pretty unique – but upon reflection, make an awful lot of sense.) Absolutely worth a watch! (You should definitely watch this in HD – it makes a huge difference in seeing some of the smaller features he points out.)(Louis Wu 16:22:20 UTC)

Mythic Brawl: Live
We forgot to mention this yesterday, but Mythic Brawl is once again the Double XP Weekend playlist. Ranked FFA play – though if you’re looking for those last few pesky MP Achievements, realize that this list seems to be full of very high-level players either building up accounts to sell, or simply donging on noobs for the fun of it. Shame, really…(Louis Wu 14:13:09 UTC)

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Longshore
Hawty McBloggy is back with another Rorschach Inkblot Test – she’s provided some of the best answers from the last one of these (which looked at Orbital), and now brings you the heatmap from Longshore. What do you see?(Louis Wu 14:10:50 UTC)

It’s About Standards
Today’s Ctrl+Alt+Del comes back to Halo – amazing what a little flying pack can do. Thanks to Hawty McBloggy, and Toxic Mayhem. (Louis Wu 14:09:52 UTC)

Firefight Friday: My Way or the Highway
FyreWulff has set up another Firefight Friday – this one is called ‘My Way or the Highway’, and is available in all difficulties on the map Last Exit. Go read about it – and see if you can do it! (The site is getting out of beta at the end of this month – and participants up to that point will get a special beta mark in their profile on the launched site.) (Louis Wu 14:07:37 UTC)

Project Lumoria
Wow. There’ve been a few forays into single-player gameplay with Halo: Custom Edition – but mostly they’ve been recreations of the standard Halo PC campaign levels, or small tests. Check out Lumoria – a full campaign experience from the TM Mapping Team. It’s not available for download yet, but the link above should show you where they’re going. Exciting stuff!(Louis Wu 14:06:23 UTC)

It’s not all wine and roses

Charity Auction Figure Sale – moving to eBay
Seraph XXVII stopped in to mention that the remaining action figures he’s selling for a couple of good causes will go up on eBay tomorrow – he gave HBOers first crack at buying this stuff, but now it’s time to offer it all to the general public. We’ll keep an eye on this! (Louis Wu 13:58:56 UTC)

AH: Holy Hell, more Resident Evil
Man, it seems like just a week or two ago I was cranking out Resident Evil 5 DLC vids, which I guess is because I was. And here we are again. Today, Capcom released their latest DLC pack “Desperate Escape”. Look below to check out my first of a few videos I’ll be doing to cover it. This one shows how to get the “Way of the Warrior” Achievement.

AH: A.H.W.U. #1
Alright folks, welcome to the newest addition to Achievement Hunter.
We’re going to start producing a weekly bit called (for now) AHWU! If you can think of a better name, for the love of God, please share with us.
We’ll be releasing these things on Mondays, giving an overview of what is coming out during the week. This was a test show, so that’s why you are getting it on a Thursday instead of Monday, but I promise, from now on…Monday.
This week’s episode includes stuff from Halo: Reach, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Toy Soldiers and a Slap Fight. Please feel free to give feedback in the comments, this is a very new project and we want to make it the best we can.
Oh, and if you want to submit a video bumper for the front end, email your 5-10 second clip to info@achievementhunter.com and we’ll add it if it doesn’t suck.

RT: Borenography 4
Let today’s comic serve as a continued warning. Marriage is boring. Wait… maybe that’s not what I meant to say… no. No, yeah. That’s it. Boring.

AH: Resident Evil 5: Shoot the Messenger
This might be the last video I do in “Desperate Escape,” so I hope you enjoy it. If you’ve tried to get the Shoot the Messenger Achievement, you’ve probably been frustrated by how random it seems. Hopefully this will help.
