What’s up you nutshit crazy BRUTAL LEGEND metalheads!!!

We have another PRE-RELEASE achievement tutorial up for you right now. Today we show you the COOLEST THING EVER in a very crappy way! I’m sure you’ll be anxious to jump over hundreds of Hextadons once you pick up the game next week, but for now enjoy me and Geoff being stupid and enjoying the hell out of this game!

Sup fools? I hope you learn a lesson from today’s comic, and only use your nerd powers for good. Don’t be a Gus. Gus never wins.

Oh! and also. Achievement Hunter plug alert. Jack and I were EXTREMELY lucky to get an early copy of Brutal Legend to do some pre-release videos. We’ll be releasing about one a day up until launch, so if you want to get an exclusive look at how awesome this game is going to be, be sure to check AH often. For your convenience, here are the first two videos we’ve done: FIRST, SECOND. Awesome.

Ahoy METALHEADS! Today we bring you yet another BRUTAL LEGEND achievement!!!

Today Geoff and I pick up the “Silence, Ground Walker!” achievement by JUMPING (or falling) off of a damn high cliff. You need five seconds of air to get it. Thankfully for you having Geoff criticize you the whole time isn’t a requirement.

It’s October. Leaves are turning here in New England (well, there was a lot of wind last night, so they’re falling, more than turning, but…). The air is crisp. It’s that time of year when thoughts turn to bonfires, and candy, and… pumpkins. Yep, we’re holding another pumpkin-carving contest. Prize details haven’t been fully worked-out yet, but the deadline (Halloween) is fast approaching – we wanted to give you a few weeks to create your masterpiece. So we’re announcing now. Don’t worry – there’ll be prizes. We’ll tell you about them soon.(Louis Wu 13:51:04 UTC)

Grimm Fandango, over at NeoGAF, pointed out that someone went to the trouble of recording the drum track that plays during the fifth wave of a Firefight set – it’s not available on the ODST soundtrack, and the poster did a great job of grabbing a pretty clean version. What a great piece of percussion!(Louis Wu 12:48:19 UTC)

Frankie stopped in last night to allay some fears about Microsoft’s “6 year plan” for the Halo franchise; give his post a read to see what was (and wasn’t) meant by this quote. (He also posted a link to a meme-rich gameplay vid he created this summer; you can chalk this one up to the medication he’s on, I think. The franchise info is solid, in any case.)

The Bungie Weekly Update this time around is chock-full of info that might make your Firefight games less frustrating – but there’s lots of other stuff too. An appeal for donations, some info about sports bigwigs getting special treatment, details about a group of former Bungie guys starting their own team, cool cars from Forza 3 (HBO readers will have already seen some of this)… and some other stuff. Definitely worth a read, either on Bungie.net or here, in our Weekly Update Archive. (Yes, ours validates.)(Louis Wu 23:18:46 UTC)

Tons of movies for you today, courtesy of Bungie’s Comm Chatter:
- Carratti’s gameplay and Astiun Media’s editing turned out ‘Tellier‘, a Halo 3 montage

- Adamack’s Halo 3 montage was edited by Insight Media
- |Rodzilla| got a sweet Banshee beatdown in this rendered clip
- Last week, we mentioned a guy who was customizing a PowerWheels ride for his kid – today, Bungie’s got the video.
Shouldn’t take you TOO long to watch all that…(Louis Wu 17:41:54 UTC)
