Tashi continues Season 2 of his Weekly Montage series – Episode 2 contains footage from just the last 7 days of gameplay. This is a tough way to make montages; most of us don’t have enough montage-worthy footage every week to keep putting these out. Tashi’s doing great, though!(Louis Wu 14:42:30 UTC)

Achievement HORSE #65 – Gavino vs Michael – went live yesterday (AchievementHunter.com | YouTube), and I must say, I’m really enjoying these again. Great commentary, great editing. They’re fun. (If that’s not enough, Gav and Geoff collected the best user submissions from last week’s Bum Bait challenge and posted THOSE, too (AchievementHunter.com | YouTube). Definitely making me think twice about assassinations.) Thanks, as usual, to hezekiah for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 14:27:10 UTC)

Yesterday, the first bulk of Halo 4 news came spewing down the pipes of the internet. There were interviews, analyses, and of course the main attraction: the first look video released by 343i. Of course, we have our own opinions about what we saw. Most of what we watched or read yesterday was good news, but there were definitely a few talking points that has us cautiously optimistic. Joining us for our digest is Kete from The Running Riot and CMNeir and MidgetDance from Halo: Reach Tricks. Enjoy
