AH: PAX: Live Action Achievements
—
by
Alright, I have golden opportunity for you loyal readers…
I’ll be attending the Penny Arcade Expo starting in about a week, and I’m looking to accomplish some “real-life achievements.”
“What is a real-life achievement Jack?” I can hear you asking. Basically, it’s like a scavenger hunt that you guys send me on.
In the comments of this post, write an achievement that you would like to see me accomplish, and then attach a gamerscore to it.
Be smart about it too, I’m not going to do anything illegal or anything that could hurt me.For example:
High-Five every member of Rooster Teeth at PAX: 10GS
Get a semi-celebrity (Wil Wheaton, Gabe, Tycho, Felicia Day, etc.) to call you a jerk: 50GSYou get what I’m talking about? I’ll create a list of 1000GS based on your comments and post it before I make it to PAX. I’ll be documenting every time I accomplish an achievement and have a video for you shortly thereafter.
Try to think of real achievements, and how they are scored. My life isn’t AVATAR: The Last Airbender, give me lots of things I can do. And remember, I do it all for you.

An official call for a return to roots
There are a bunch of new vids available on the Bungie Blog this morning… but I gotta say, the only one I found worth watching was the 3rd Mixtage, edited by Hemdall. Great gameplay and editing that doesn’t make you want to cry… have we forgotten how to make montages like this? (Louis Wu 16:32:25 UTC)

Dennis Wyman rediscovered the Halo 2 Official Soundtrack recently – and decided to write up a pair of reviews, just in time for the release of the Halo 3: ODST Soundtrack.

An old friend surfaces
Some old-timers might remember Pico – he was an early maker of machinima, notably the Lethal Rage series in 2003/2004. He stopped in this morning to point out an interview by the folks at machinima.fr – the english version is here, the french version here. It’s a fun read! (Some good advice from it, to folks making machinima now: “Make a movie you want to see.” Sounds like Pico and Bungie have similar philosophies!) (Louis Wu 11:41:09 UTC)
