It’s early…but it’s never too early for more FAILS OF THE WEAK!

Devin Olsen has decided to start up a giveaway series of his own – and the first round is simple. He’s looking for a title for the series! If your creativeness leads to a new name for this series, you win the prize… but if he doesn’t find a title he likes, the winner will be chosen at random from all entries. What do you have to lose? Toss your name (and your idea) in the pot!(Louis Wu 17:33:45 UTC)

Sean Mortensen (he’s created a few Halo-based scores in the past, search our news) is offering to compose music to match pieces of Halo novels/comics/etc – let him know what you’ve read, and he’ll do what he can!(Louis Wu 17:27:00 UTC)

Sakis sent word that he is kicking off a Reach Film Capture Service – prices are considerably lower than the cost of Bungie Pro rendering. (Right now, he’s charging $1 per 10 minutes of HD video.)(Louis Wu 17:26:19 UTC)

Simpsons Rule was at New York Comic Con this weekend, and saw some new Halo Minimates on display – looks like you could make your own Halo Babies live-action stuff with these! Aww… (Louis Wu 17:25:51 UTC)

Bryan ‘imSuck’ Smith sent word that he’s finished his HMV Hell: Reach video – it’s more than 8 and a half minutes long, in HD format. You can watch it on YouTube, or download a gigantic copy from his HMV Hell site. (The site also contains information about the videos he’s made in this genre, and links to previous versions, if you haven’t seen them.) He did a fantastic job of filming these clips – great use of the Theater camera! (Remember, also, that all of the clips in this video were rendered with Bungie Pro – no capture card needed.) There’s a comment thread going on our forum, if you’d like to discuss. (Louis Wu 17:23:03 UTC)

PharaohsRaiment posted a pretty fun piece of artwork on our forum – I’m wondering how the Elite handles that cup!(Louis Wu 17:22:13 UTC)

Suircata continues to post Halo schwag on eBay – some oversize promo boxes and a set of strategy guides make up the latest batch. Go see! (Louis Wu 17:21:14 UTC)

AssaultGodzilla is back with another vid – this one is set to Sum 41’s “Still Waiting”. Still amazes me he can use so many disparate Halo sources and create vids that feel ‘right’. Timing is AMAZING.(Louis Wu 17:19:24 UTC)

Bungie makes dreams come true!

The fire’s only half dead.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to hold your color.

Explicit lyrics, story spoilers, and all kinds of awesome.

Hey guys, I’m back with a couple of Psychopath guides in Dead Rising 2. Up first is the “Here Comes the Groom” guide. Aim for the crotch pig.

Up next is “Mail Order Zombrex” which is cool because the dude has an awesome trucker ‘stache and also Zombrex. Enjoy!

I’ve got a pair of L4D2 Achievement guides for you today. The first covers getting the Kill Bill Achievement….

while the second shows a good place to grab the Barrel Rolled Achievement. Happy hunting!

Hey guys, I have a couple of Dead Rising 2 motorcycle-themed videos for you today. The first is a guide on how to beat the psychopath in “Meet the Contestants” which unlocks a motorcycle for you to use.

The second video shows off how to pick up an achievement on that very same motorcycle! Wild, eh!

Have a good weekend!
