There’s a pretty interesting article in Edge Magazine about the Science of Usability Testing in videogames – and Bungie’s John Hopson (user research lead) gets some screen space. Go check it out! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 20:52:38 UTC)

If you’re jonesin’ for some MLG Montage goodness, swing by Bungie.net – Inactive is a new Reach montage from KayEmX. 3:44 long. (Louis Wu 20:35:47 UTC)

Sup. I’m happy to announce that in addition to releasing an accurately creepy comic, we have released RT Comics Book One and Book Two on Apple iBooks. It feels really great on the device. It’s in full color and every comic is enlargeable. It’s available in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, and Australia. You can find it while searching iBooks on your iPad. In process of getting to Windows 7 devices as well as android. We are hoping to get on the Nook at some point but as of now they do not support ebooks over a certain size. They have made a powerful enemy today.

Jose, also known by his gamertag, TECJ0001, was surprised by his wife on his 29th birthday with a very cool Halo-themed cake, from Black Label Desserts. Click thumbs below for full-sized versions. Awesome!

It’s a close call – do you eat it, or leave it out for display?(Louis Wu 15:56:32 UTC)

Edge sent word that he’s posted a Halo: Reach Community Montage (based on content from the Halotracker community). You can rate and comment on it at Halotracker. (While you’re there, check out their latest challenges – they’re over 1000 HTR Challenges completed!) (Louis Wu 15:55:23 UTC)
