Fails of the Weak Volume 12 is now online at Achievementhunter.com – the only thing worse than having your clip highlighted on this series is getting ridiculed by Jack and Geoff while you fail. Good stuff. Thanks, Mid7night.(Louis Wu 19:37:27 UTC)

Congrats to Twen7yOz Slayer – his entry in our recent “I’m an Armor-Locking Fool” contest was chosen by Hypertrooper as the winner! (There were actually several top contenders, so Hypertrooper picked one of THOSE at random.) A Reach shirt and cap will be on its way from Germany shortly!(Louis Wu 17:19:36 UTC)

FyreWulff reminded us that even though there haven’t been updates on HBO (or B.net), there HAVE been new challenges posted at Fire Team Zulu – both Reach and Halo 3 challenges, culled from community suggestions. Good stuff! Read the summary in his forum post, or all the details in the FTZ newspost. Challenge yourself!(Louis Wu 17:04:32 UTC)

Wow… I knew Emile could be crass, but… Thanks to T07WRX5 for the find.(Louis Wu 15:43:58 UTC)

Long Night of Solace may be the most diverse level in Halo’s campaign – it’s got outdoor combat, space combat, indoor combat… it’s a veritable cornucopia of Covenant carnage. And now you’ve got a guide that can help you through it at its roughest! Tyrant has released the LNoS chapter of his Mythic Difficulty Guide – it’s heavily loaded with video (21 clips this time around!), plus text descriptions of the preferred plans of attack. Go study it – then make your own Mythic run! (And as always, if Mythic is out of your league, or if you just need some practice before attempting it, he’s one week ahead on his Legendary Guide at YouTube; the walkthrough for Exodus – in three parts – went up last night.)(Louis Wu 15:12:14 UTC)

Orange Chikin stenciled an Elite on his Xbox – a fine way to show his Halo love!(Louis Wu 13:56:50 UTC)

Three new pieces are live in the Fan Fiction section this week – go read!(Louis Wu 13:55:12 UTC)

lostguru pointed out that the sixth episode of Funny Halo Reach Fails and Laughs went live a couple of days ago – some interesting clips, but maybe not enough to flesh out a 9 minute video. Go see for yourself!(Louis Wu 13:53:56 UTC)

Greetings programs! As promised earlier by Geoff here is the first in my guide to all the collectibles in Tron Evolution. Expect more videos in the near future!

It’s not everyday you get a free game available on XBox Live Arcade that includes Gamerscore, so to recieve two on the same day makes it seem like Christmas came a little early this year.

The two games in question are:

• Doritos Crash Course – Not to be mistaken with the Left 4 Dead DLC, this free arcade game is a multiplayer, family friendly obstacle course using your Avatar as your playable character. The game supports up to 4 players over XBox Live and local split-screen. Download it here!
• Harms Way – Another multiplayer game that involves teams racing against each other to complete 3 laps of a course, but some members of each team will be camping in sniper spots trying to stop the enemy racers. Download it here!

Both games are part of Doritos Unlock XBox competition, and have a full 200 Gamerscore up for grabs like usual Arcade games, so grab these early Christmas presents now!
Many thanks to the XBox.com Content Coordinator Nick Bennett @the_droog for the head’s up!

Hey guys,
If you’re already following @AchievementHunt on Twitter, you’ll already know about the additional input that’s going to added to it from now. Myself and Fragger are set up to answer quick questions, maybe provide achievement advice on the fly or even just have a chat if that’s what you guys want.

In any case, the official Achievement Hunter Twitter account is going to be much more active now, so if you’re not following us, please do. If you are following us, we’d appreciate the extra support in Follow Fridays (don’t forget the #FF hashtag!).

Of course, if you don’t want to get involved on Twitter, don’t worry, you’ll still get all the videos and news that you’ve come to expect from Achievement Hunter!

Hey guys,
In addition to all of the fabulous new merchandise we have in our online store, we’ve decided to bring back an old friend. Due to popular demand, we’ve taken the “That’s right. I’m a gay robot.” Church quote shirt out of the vault. I don’t think we’ll do another printing of it after this run is through, so this might be your last chance for a while to get this classic shirt.

Hey everyone. Fragger here bored at work so I decided that now would be a great time to post a video! Hope you enjoy the second to last video in my Splatterhouse Collectible series. Boobs!

Yesterday a bird got into the office and couldn’t figure out how to get out. I hear that’s how Kerry started working here.

Today’s video is the first of a few covering the new free Arcade game, Doritoes Crash Course. Check it out to get three Achievements.
