Star Fell Teaser
A week or so ago, FireDragon04 told us about a teaser poster for an upcoming machinima project, Star Fell – today, there’s a Teaser vid up on YouTube. Nice work, if a little light on content! Take a look – it’s only a minute long.(Louis Wu 16:01:58 UTC)

All people needed to do… was believe.
DesignCritique has a look back at the Halo 3: Believe ad campaign, to see how it worked with the benefit of hindsight. Not surprisingly, it holds up, two years later. Amazing stuff!(Louis Wu 15:58:08 UTC)

Halo: FTW 2
Back in January, 2008, we mentioned a mod for Halo PC called ‘Halo FTW’ – Pepsi and Nessa were adding lots of shiny new textures to the game. The original screenshots and the fly-through movie are long gone – but they’re working on releasing FTW 2, a remade version of the mod. If you swing by this thread at ModHalo, you’ll find pages of new videos and screenshots (this shot is pretty impressive, though it takes quite a while to load – not surprising, given that it’s 11.5 mb). You can also find most of the videos at Pepsi’s YouTube channel. Congrats to Pepsi, Ness, Tucker933, Deadhampster, and Kvasir – this stuff looks pretty good!(Louis Wu 15:52:40 UTC)

ODST Helmet to be worn in MotoGP WC in Valencia
KP pointed us to a Motorcycle News page (and GrimBrother One pointed us to a Kotaku page pointing to the same MN page) discussing a helmet that will be worn by Jorge Lorenzo as he competes in the 2009 MotoGP World Championship race in Valencia. It’s said to ‘replicate [the helmet] worn by the main character’ in Halo 3: ODST – I’m not sure I’d go that far, but it DOES have a lot of Halo stuff on it. Take a look! (Louis Wu 02:30:13 UTC)

We’ve got a ton of videos from the community today, so without further adieu…
Nitro6 has a good video on how to get the You’re on a Boat Achievement in Borderlands.
Next up is GTA IVs Adrenaline Junkie from Mike.
Not to be outdone by Nitro6, Wildrile also has a Borderlands video, showing how to get: 12 Days of Pandora, You’re on a Boat, and Speedy McSpeederson.
Next up is Milesprower, who shows us how to get the classic Crackdown Achievement Driving High, in a way that I’d never seen before.
And last but not least, is Darthmeow, with a great Forza 3 guide, showing how to get Demon and Lapper.
All five videos are awesome, and great examples of how cool the Achievement Hunter community can be/is. Have a great weekend everyone. Let’s play some Gears 2!
