geophf stopped in to point out a blog post he’d written on the whole ‘K/D’ discussion in Halo: Reach. Interesting viewpoint… though his argument may not be fully applicable to video games. Give it a read and see what you think!(Louis Wu 16:41:53 UTC)

Hey guys,
More Race Week content for you, this time with the third round of Crazy Box courses. This one bestows us the Amazing Driver Achievement. w00t!

Hey guys,
I got another Hydro Thunder Hurricane for you with the hidden package locations for Lost Babylon. Also, Mystery B Mr. Rippe crashes the party. Actually he’s moderately well behaved this time around.

While everyone did their best of 2010 games in 2010, we decided to wait until the entirety of 2010 was over. The hosts discuss their top 3 games that they played for the past year and discuss some other top contenders that didn’t quite make the cut. Lots of good discussions about many of the killer games of 2010. Enjoy

Cody Miller stopped in with a wrapup of the Speed Demos Archive charity drive, Awesome games done quick. They raised a total of $51,737 – more than twice their original goal! Money will be used by the Prevent Cancer Foundation to fund a grant for cancer vaccine research – nice! Thanks to Cody for his multiple runs (I can’t really call the Halo portion a ‘speed run’, but it WAS pretty fun!), and to everyone who contributed! Gamers rock.(Louis Wu 23:00:44 UTC)

Kaidon stopped in with links to some custom Halo action figures – he’s added custom sculpted armor, new paint jobs, the works! There’s a custom ODST Spartan (a what, now?), an Elite Commando (awesome helmet!), and a repaint of the Elite Ultra to match the in-game version. Nice work! (Explore his site – there are many more.)(Louis Wu 22:58:46 UTC)

I’m not sure what to make of it… but I’m intrigued. Go check out Leviathan’s latest creation.(Louis Wu 22:37:24 UTC)

xorth wrote to us to tell us about halotracker.com, a Halo: Reach stats site. Lots and lots and lots of stats – stuff I haven’t seen elsewhere. They’ve also got Challenges – like Bungie’s, but more varied. And there’s more coming! Go explore. And sign up!(Louis Wu 22:04:36 UTC)

It’s Wednesday, and while you wait for the Drunk Tank why not check out Achievement HORSE??

We are WAY the heck behind on the good stuff you can find on Bungie’s Community Blog, Comm Chatter. Here’s the latest:

• IGN’s Top 10 Kills series had a new episode go live last week – some great clips in there! (I had no idea there was a connection between the rocket fountain and the basement in Reflection…)
• While the next chapter of Tyrant’s Mythic Difficulty Guide won’t be live until next week, he’s keeping up his work on the Legendary guide on YouTube – The Package was posted over the weekend. (Our link contains the full Legendary playlist, if you want to look at other chapters.) The man knows how to stay alive, I’ll give him that!
• MLG has posted a set of video walkthroughs of their gametypes – they’ll help you figure out the changes to the maps. There are also some strategy tips that can help you stay alive a bit longer!
• Anoj has a new Top 10 Halo Reach video – this one is Top 10 Lucky Kills. (It’s not really new; it went live a week ago. We all missed it, though.) Some crazy-awesome situations!

Finally, and this isn’t really comunity news, it’s Bungie news, the Firefight Arcade playlist went live yesterday. The Bungie newspost contains writeups of all the new gametypes – and man, they’re getting good reviews! Go play.(Louis Wu 17:21:28 UTC)

When a door closes, smash out the nearest window with a hammer.

Send Me Out With a Bang.

Mobilized and ready.

Luke McKay posted a shot of The Meta without his helmet last weekend – just getting it added to his collection here now. Looks too human for me… heh.(Louis Wu 14:47:20 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue stopped by with word of a new Reclaimer – sounds like there’s some sneaky stuff being planned!(Louis Wu 14:39:55 UTC)

FyreWulff continues the Fire Team Zulu Birthday Bash with a Legendary contest – you can win the Essentials 1 and 2 discs from the Halo 3 Legendary Edition! Send Me Out With A Bang is set on The Ark – no armed human vehicles (doesn’t seem to bar Ghosts, though), and you’ve got three skulls, including Iron, to keep you company. Can you manage it? Go turn in the highest and fastest (wait… which?) score on Legendary, and you go home with the prize!(Louis Wu 14:34:06 UTC)

So Geoff got to try something new last Thursday…









If you like Rooster Teeth Comics, be sure to check out the group.

Need for Speed Had some DLC that came out the week Geoff was out. So I recorded some achievements with it and then with Jack

Stay Tuned for more racing games for the rest of the week, like this one.

A couple of netnews portals have picked up on some curious domain registrations by our beloved Bungie recently. Earlier today, Lekku noticed a post on Destructoid about the registration by Bungie of the names Osiris, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and Seven Seraphs. Later, elessar787 brought to our attention another bit talking about the same thing, this time at Gamespot. Very interesting… feel free to speculate!(GrimBrother One 22:35:41 UTC)
