How about a giraffe?

Here we go.

Get off my lawn.

Howdy folks. Check out the above image-link (as in the kind of image you click) to see my new guide to the first 9/20 emblems in Damnation. If collection guides are your thing (and you love to listen to my sexy voice), this video is for you.

No, not you, the other guy. Yeah, him. What do you mean, why? What have YOU done for me lately?

Probably some Community Videos tomorrow, and the followup to this video on Friday-ish. It all depends on how long the multitude of videos I’m producing lately take.

Hey, you still awake? Good. I am posting a VERY late podcast today. First of all, sorry. I’ve been up running around all day dealing with Comic Con things and haven’t had a chance to sit down to edit and post the podcast. We recorded this Drunk Tank Tuesday evening knowing that we wouldn’t have time on Wednesday to record it, but even so here I am posting it in the middle of the night. Anyway, podcast is a little short this week, but if we get a chance I’ll try and post some supplementary material while we’re out at Comic Con. Download the podcast here or via iTunes or Zune Marketplace.

Three guides today from some less-seen guide makers. Onwards to the videos themselves.

• Skate 2 – Two Secret Achievements – by AssassinS17
• Marble Blast Ultra – Two Achievements by JoMan117
• World of Warcraft – Gurubashi Arena Master by Ratcom

The entire office is in San Diego for Comic Con this week (Booth #1437 btw), leaving poor Nathan to take care of the summer help. I assume it’s going something like this.

Well everyone, it’s almost been a year since we launched Achievement Hunter, and the site has a come a long way it started out with that RvB PSA. In fact, Tuesday, July 28th with be AH’s birthday. To celebrate we’re going to a full week worth of AHTV events for you to enjoy, live: (note: schedule subject to change, keep an eye on this space for the latest)

Today: Though not officially part of the “week” will see the Prince of Persia Epilogue DLC, followed by taking a crack at some Banjo-Tooie to hopfeully make way for Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. That starts in an hour at 11:30 AM PT/2:30 PM EST/7:30 PM GMT. Hope you can make it.

Sunday: By popular vote, Fragger and I will be playing Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga whilst consuming alcohol. Hilarity ensues? Watch to find out. It’s probably a bad idea to start drinking in the morning, so that will probably start around 12:00 PM PT/3:00 PM EST/8:00 PM GMT.
Respawn Radio will be recording a live show later that day, at 8:00 PM PT/11:00 PM EST/4:00 AM GMT. Join Lono, Knuckles, and 8bit as they celebrate the anniversary with prizes, discussion, and general jackassery. So stick around for that. I’ll probably be smashed at that point. There may or may not be a continuation of Lego Star Wars after the fact.

Monday will feature Dead Space. This will also be from scratch, and considering how this game plays better in the dark, will probably go pretty late. We’ll get a good crack at it around 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM EST/6:00 PM GMT, and see how it goes. Expect there to be a scare counter.

Tuesday, the anniversary itself, will be Gears of War 2’s Dark Corners DLC. There are a bunch of Horde Achievements, so we’ll crack through as much of those as we can. Since we’re hoping Geoff will be there for it like Icy Dead People, timing is slightly up in the air. We’re expecting this to be mid afternoon/evening.

Wednesday Banjo-Tooie/Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, I love these games. ‘Nuff said. This should start by 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM EST/6:00 PM GMT, if not earlier.

Thursday will be the return of Mass Effect, playing on Insanity. We’ll get a chunk of this done, and continue it at a later date. This should also start by 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM EST/6:00 PM GMT, if not earlier. Stay tuned for the latest scheduling

Friday We’re going to attempt what Geoff never could. Dead Rising, and the 7 Day Survivor. That’s going to be a 14 hour test of endurance. This should start early, to give way to sleep prep for the finale. I’m thinking 8:00 AM PT/11:00 AM EST/4:00 PM GMT.

Saturday will feature a 24 hour gaming Marathon, where I’m free to play whatever you and I decide on. Most of it will be up to viewer vote, but it may feature some stuff from the previous days of the week, some new games, old AHTV classics, and a few surprises too. Should be a fantastic fun time. This will start sometime in the morning provided I’m well rested from Dead Rising. I’m wagering 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM EST/5:00 PM GMT.

So that’s the tentative plan. Remember, scheduling IS subject to change, so keep your eyes peeled for updates. Hopefully there’s something in there everyone will enjoy, if not most of it. This should be an epic week.

There’s no way today’s comic is true. Burnie isn’t nearly cool enough to know Stan Lee.

Only two guides today, as that’s all we’ve got that are ready for posting. There are still videos I need to contact people about re-uploading, and a couple really old ones that might see the light of day, but we’ve really whittled our way through the queue. Anyway, video time.

• Dead Rising – 5 and 7 Day Survivor by damaster11
• Halo Wars – Map Pack 2 Achievements by Lopez_55

In other news, Tonyski is holding an achievement race in The Orange Box, taking place August 1st for 24 hours. The idea is that the guy/gal/animal that earns the most gamerscore in the game in the allotted time wins the tournament.
