As we wrap up “race week”, I’ve got a sort-of racing related video for you. It shows how and where to get a hidden hot rod in Mafia 2.

TTL Demag0gue let us know that the latest issue of Reclaimer is out, with a nice little reference readers of Greg Bear’s Halo: Cryptum might like. Go give it a read!(GrimBrother One 15:23:11 UTC)

Today is the best day of race week because we don’t need any expensive cars, yellow Cabs or weird jet boats. Today is MONSTER TRUCKS!!! YEAH! Secret achievements in Monster Jam: Path of Destruction that include losing wheels and winning, 2 of the 3 best parts of Monster Trucks. The Last being Crushing cars.

I recorded it with my voice and also my buddy from Austin, Tex. He has stuff in the back of his van.

Brian Gilmore let us know that Geekscape’s Teabag Prevention Team is back on the case – this week, they’re out to help you maximize your score on Score Attack (specifically Gruntpocalypse on Courtyard). Go see how they can help!(Louis Wu 14:46:52 UTC)

FyreWulff finishes out the Birthday Week for Fire Team Zulu with a prize challenge set in Reach’s campaign. You can win DLC (or a Banshee avatar item) by playing through Long Night of Solace on Heroic! Read the details at FTZ. (He also pointed out that there was a small problem on the website that kept new members from submitting scores – read the details if you’re affected.) (Louis Wu 14:38:49 UTC)

Morpheus pointed out a couple of Halo-related bits in Game Informer – an online version of their Top 50 Games of 2010 (Halo items show up in a number of categories), and a pretty nice poster they’re selling. Go look! (Louis Wu 14:38:03 UTC)

munky-058 and friends found some REALLY big footprints on Nightfall – any idea what created these? (No, Gúta do not have this many toes…) (Louis Wu 14:36:59 UTC)

Leviathan noticed a small (but humorous) reference to Halo in a recent X-Men comic – nice to see it showing up in the culture of even FICTIONAL worlds! (Louis Wu 14:36:17 UTC)

Just two new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week – but one of ’em is HUGE. Go read!(Louis Wu 14:35:12 UTC)

In continuing with an odd news coincidence, the Waypoint Blog brings us a video that shows off the Chief put on a sidewinding spectacle in a very different way than you might think. Here is one fan who is bound to get an avalanche of fan mail with this performance. Give it a look, and you be the judge!(GrimBrother One 06:23:36 UTC)

Kotaku found a pretty cool piece of art done by Tyler Edlin as a commission piece. Even though we all know Chief is actually a Lightning fan, it’s still definitely worth checking…out.(GrimBrother One 06:14:22 UTC)

Holy crap a new game came out! Here we have Venetica a new RPG that just came out today state side. We kick off our videos in it with “Leather Style!”

Check back over the next couple of days for more videos!

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.

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

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.

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!

What’s up guys? Race week is rolling along. Today’s first video is a second guide to the Slip and Slide Achievement in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. TonySki showed how to do it in this guide just the other day, but we decided to make a second guide showing the more “racing game challenged” how to get it.

Hey guys,
Race Week continues today, this time with the final Crazy Box courses. This one bestows us the Crazy Driver Achievement. Next up I’ll have video for the Arcade and Original courses. Maybe. Depends how it goes.

Also, another Fun Fact: I made this post completely from my iPhone in the comfort of my own bed.

Does anyone else hear that constant ticking? it’s driving me crazy.
