Weekly Update Archive back up-to-date
The list of assets that are missing because of last week’s trouble just got a tiny big smaller – the Weekly Update Archive hosted here had been restored from a backup… that ended in early January. (Which meant the last update we had was from December 17.) The five missing updates have now been re-added for your searching (and light HTML) pleasure.(Louis Wu 12:26:49 UTC)

Infecdead Type A
Back in mid-January, we’d mentioned a teaser for an upcoming zombie machinima from cellzx – he’s released the first episode now. Cinematography, use of existing and new assets, and overall production is amazingly good. (Voice acting could use a little work, but he knows that.) This series has real potential.(Louis Wu 12:02:33 UTC)

Bornstellar, realized
Leviathan whipped up a ‘quick little sketch‘ of what he thinks the ‘Bornstellar’ character from Cryptum might look like. It’s a pretty amazing piece of work, for a ‘quick little sketch’. (Louis Wu 11:53:12 UTC)

Tuesday Comm Chatter Roundup
Bunch o’ stuff we missed at B.net yesterday:- What if ODST… went deeper?

Cheap games at Amazon
Here’s a deal for you – Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, combined… for a grand total of $29.48. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, shipping’s free, too! (You don’t HAVE to buy those two Halo titles; there are lots of options, and the deal is buy one game for less than $20, get a second title for half-off. You can pick from games like Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, or Borderlands, or dozens more.) Not sure how long this lasts… so buy now!(Louis Wu 01:19:20 UTC)

Quite An Achievement (List)
Whether you love them or hate them, the Achievement system and phenomenon has become an important part of modern gaming. Xbox360Achievements.org recently held their 2010 Achievement Awards, and Halo: Reach came home with “Best Achievement List”. X360A loved the balance between Achievements spread out through the different modes, solid mission-specific Achievements, and proper balance bewteen skill vs. time investment to complete them all. Reach’s “If They Came To Hear Me Beg” Achievement was also nominated for “Hardest Individual Achievement”. Great job to Bungie for continually coming up with rewarding challenges that help extend the life of an already stellar title. (GrimBrother One 21:39:29 UTC)
