RC Master stopped by the forum to to let us know about some new ODST speedruns from the guys at High Speed Halo. Stop by his post for more details and links to lots of different videos! (GrimBrother One 15:46:26 UTC)

General Battuta is trying to determine how the Halo games compare to each other according to darkness, hopelessness, and grim-factor. He offers a nice writeup and breakdown of just how grim he thinks each game is, and which moments and levels really drive home the grimness. Go and check it out for yourself, and let him know what you think! (How could I not think this was front-page material?) (GrimBrother One 15:02:09 UTC)

bs angel wanted everyone to know that Episode 2 of Sam5000’s Forging the Win series is up. Some great stuff in there for aspiring map-makers and map-gawkers alike! (GrimBrother One 14:44:39 UTC)

Make sure to stop by the Waypoint blog to check out the October edition of their feature on replicas by the guys and gals of the 405th. Some… okay MOST of these are simply stunning. Go look! (GrimBrother One 14:39:38 UTC)

Halo Waypoint has a new video series called Community Outreach where they play with members of the Halo community and discuss the various Multiplayer and Firefight maps. This episode features Vociferous playing with Nick Puleo, who is the owner and managing editor at Co-Optimus.com. There’s some great conversation in there, go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 14:35:58 UTC)

Hedgemony decided to give our forum a small taste of what he’s been finding on Tumblr lately, specifically (obviously) related to all things Halo. Go and check out his Halo Tumblr Roundup on our forum and bask in the awesome! (GrimBrother One 14:28:13 UTC)

Goosechecka from our friends over at GrifballHub are excited to let us know about a new community feature that shows off some awesome fan-forged Grifball arenas that they are looking to get into the upcoming Grifball Playlist (mentioned by Bungie in their latest Weekly Update). Go cast your vote and help decide what maps YOU want to be playing on!(GrimBrother One 14:12:08 UTC)

Rob Schneider is working on a Halo tattoo – the artist is D’Lacie McBride, in Portland, OR. Fifteen hours in, the sleeve looks like this. Can’t wait to see the finished product!(Louis Wu 13:26:47 UTC)

Last week, Bungie challenged 2old2play in the Halo Humpday – their writeup went up on Friday, but 2o2p took the weekend to think about it. (Don’t forget – they’re old.) Fun read! Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Louis Wu 13:25:13 UTC)

Yeah, so, if you shoot someone with a rocket, and they armor-lock, you generally find that you’ve wasted your rocket. (Sometimes, you’ve even killed yourself inadvertently with it.) But not always… thanks, MrBig.(Louis Wu 13:22:30 UTC)

Missing teeth used to be associated with the low class and now it’s all the rage among rich people. That’s great news! I can finally take my dad out in public.

We here at Achievement Hunter love Halo: Reach, we also love videos. That’s exactly why I’m leaving this video, showing off the new multiplayer maps coming November 30th, right here.

Hey Everyone, Fragger and I tackled a three videos in three different games today, trying to clear the way for the onslaught of videos coming after tomorrow’s releases. The first one is in Vanquish, and shows how to find all of the hidden collectibles in Act Two of the game:

Next up is another Fragger video for you. This one shows how to get “The Commander” in Super Meat Boy.

And last but not least is a bit of a test I did. It’s part one of a two part series finding the collectibles in Ben 10: Cosmic Destruction. The twist? Since it’s a kid’s game, I kept it family friendly. And before you ask, yes, it was hard for me.

We are having a huge FIRE SALE! Check out these discounted shirts. They are being retired and will no longer be available once stock is gone.








We also have a brand new item we are adding to the store today. The 2011 Calendar is now available. It was completely redesigned and it is now full size (12″ x 12″). You can see the monthly images here. The months are now seasonly themed. Check out what you have to look forward to in January.









We have added a new song to iTunes. I say Ohh was featured in the montage for the RT Short, “Stand Alone”. It’s also available as a ringtone if you are searching for it from your iPhone. It’s perfect for getting that special Gus in the mood.











Lastly, we are releasing PSA 4: Upgrading. It was featured on the Revelation DVD. If you havn’t checked out the DVD, what’s wrong with you? There are some other cool features like deleted scenes, a VFX feature, and an interview with the Ladies of Red vs. Blue. That’s it for me. Have a great monday.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, our backend has been acting up all day. It’s like a broken badonk-a-donk.

This week’s AHWU takes place in front of a green screen. Wish I knew we were going to do that.

Enjoy!
