I don’t know if you’ve played Left 4 Dead 2 yet, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you probably have (about 200 times by now). Truly awesome game, but some of the Achievements are really bizarre. Like the “Gong Show” one, which requires you to play the strong man game in the middle of the apocalypse. Priorities I guess.

Engineer Evolved
Bungie’s posted a ‘post mortem’ on the Engineer – where the character came from, what it looked like early on, what inspired its creation, both in form and function. Great stuff! Go read. (There are plenty of pretty pictures, too, and a video with pretty awesome sound.)(Louis Wu 22:34:50 UTC)

Bungie is offering what may be the best shirt they’ve ever created – join the B.U.N.G.L.E. Pro League and show your support! There’s a women’s version, as well. (The back is pure genius.)(Louis Wu 15:37:10 UTC)

VGA’S Reach footage to be non-trivial
For folks worried that the VGA reveal of Reach might be disappointing (they didn’t handle the Halo 3 footage very well a few years ago), Geoff Keighley posted a note at NeoGAF that might reassure you. 23 days until the Awards Show! (Thanks, EazyB.)(Louis Wu 15:07:38 UTC)

Can Jackal teeth handle sugar?
Hawty McBloggy ran across a fantastic-looking Jackal mask that was in the works for this year’s Halloween festivities. (No word on whether it actually got finished in time – this was a work-in-progress pic from early September.) The creator, DeviantART’s randomflyingpigeons, is no stranger to Halo-themed Halloween costumes – she went as a Grunt in 2005, and then again in 2008 (and MAN did she get better over those three years!). She does commissions – you might want to start thinking about next year!(Louis Wu 14:50:51 UTC)

IGN’s Top 25 Xbox 360 Games (Day 3)
IGN has returned to the ‘Top 25 Games’ well – this time, the list is ‘Top 25 Xbox 360 Games‘, and Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST came in at #12 and #11, respectively. (Games #1-10 will be released over the next two days – it’s a good bet that Halo will be represented in that group, as well.) Thanks, Avateur.(Louis Wu 14:49:54 UTC)

Around The Ring Submissions Invite – Dead Centre
Well I’m gonna work through all the Left 4 Dead 2 campaigns in order, starting with Dead Centre. You have lots of time to get stuff in for this one, so start rolling them in. I’m gonna be recording NEXT weekend, so you have well over a week (until the 27th). An actual date still needs to be set, so you might get an extra day or so, I’ll announce that in the forum thread. Send in your tips, stories, and other such material using THE BIG GREEN BUTTON! I know a decent amount of you out there have purchased/rented/gone somewhere to play it at some point, so I’m expecting lots of submissions. I’ve arranged my time such that I should be able to release a show once every few weeks for a little bit. I might be able to fit one more, and if I’m very lucky another after it before exam time rolls around, so we’ll see what happens!
Once again console players are invited to send their material in.
So get to it!
