While playing the Hideout mission of Fable 3 today, I stumbled upon a very cool Portal Easter Egg (and judging by how much mail I got about it, a lot of you found it too). Anyway, here’s a video showing Lionhead’s tribute to Valve.

I had a situation similar to this happen to me when I was eight years old. I saved up what I thought was a tremendous amount of money and called a breeder to see what kind of horse I could buy for $50. She laughed and said, “A dead one.”

I hung up the phone and cried from embarrassment.

I guess Rockstar showed her. In your face, lady.

Bungie posted their Weekly Update last night, as usual (and we added it to our Weekly Update Archive, as usual) – it contains a bunch of tasty morsels. Marty included the music from the Noble Map Pack trailer, as an MP3 (w00t), there’s a panorama of Breakpoint, some discussion of the Global Challenge unlock progress, a hint of some help Bungie’s going to give us for this on Monday, stuff on November playlist updates, info about the DLC Achievements (including hi-res artwork), some VERY cool info from Dan Miller, an amazing Grunt costume, and a pretty awesome Blame Stosh. If you haven’t already, go enjoy! (It’s possible the achievements are a joke, of some kind. The screenshot that initially hinted at upcoming achievements suggested there’d be ten new achievements, not seven. Or they could be real, with the missing three could be zero-pointers. Who knows?)(Louis Wu 13:17:33 UTC)

Up for a Challenge?

Hope everyone’s enjoying one of the many new releases that came out this week, but don’t forget about an old favourite that’s having a huge XP weekend:

Yours truly is hosting a Gears of War 2 31x XP, King of the Hill ring boosting extravaganza.
The chainsaw massacre begins October 29th starting at 8pm GMT.
Contact me via my Gamertag: Tudor VII

Savy? Excellent!
If you want to host a future Weekend Hunt, post the details in this group thread to get some frontpage attention.

What’s up folks? It is time for your favorite, FAILS OF THE WEAK!

Enjoy Volume 6!

Up for a Challenge?

These terrible titles doing anything for ya? Yeah, me neither.
Anyway, for those that don’t know, tomorrow is the beginning of the biggest XP event in Gears of War 2 history! From October 29th until November 1st, players will receive a Brumak sized 31x XP boost across mutliplayer games and Horde.
You’ll still get a bit of a boost playing today, as XP had been boosted to 4x since October 12th to celebrate Gears of War 2 becoming available for Games On Demand.

So if you can tear yourself away from one of the many, games released recently, hop into some Gears of War 2 and boost thy rank. Yours truly will be hosting a Weekend Hunt for the event, but more details on that tomorrow!

Good stuff at Bungie.net today:

• The Good Games League has posted Week 3 of their Reach Grifball highlights – some amazing plays, some really funny plays. Check it out!
