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!

Thanks a million to the volunteers that offered their time last night to test out the submissions for our Game Forged contest – we’re still waiting on results from a couple of groups, and depending on final tallies, we may need to do ANOTHER round of testing… but we should have results for you soon! (Special thanks to Kermit, who stepped up and handled the coordination beautifully.)(Louis Wu 15:06:04 UTC)

Wired’s Game|Life highlights a new Reach rap from Chicago-based ‘The Energy Commission’ – it’s pretty funny! (Bonus: there’s a referenced video from 2007, made in honor of the Halo Zune, that I’d never seen before.) Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:05:04 UTC)

Yesterday, Halo Waypoint posted a press release about the newest novel in the Halo library – Halo: Cryptum. It’s the first of Greg Bear’s Forerunner trilogy, and the press release displays the cover art, discusses Bear himself, and announces that the book will be available (in both print and audio formats) in January 2011. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:04:08 UTC)

It’s old, but I just found it this morning – Marty O’Donnell was interviewed by ChicagoNow.com’s game blog GameSmith about a month ago – he talks about Chicago, videogames, and Reach. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 15:03:05 UTC)

shiruken sent word that Treeskunk Productions has some news for you – there’s a Side Note with Paul Shelley that announces a new series they’re putting together in Reach: Crashed. The video describes (in general terms) the idea, and shows a teaser for the series itself. Check it!(Louis Wu 15:02:32 UTC)

Brian Gilmore and jake108 both made sure we knew about the newest offering from the Teabag Prevention Team – it focuses on the Active Camo Armor Ability, and if you follow its advice, you’ll find yourself getting more kills, and fewer deaths. And how could that be a bad thing? (Plus, any article title that references Boy George is golden. Wait, no… that’s totally wrong.) (Louis Wu 15:01:34 UTC)

I feel terrible. After forgetting Monday’s One One Se7en and promising to include one on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday… I forgot Friday’s. So here’s Friday’s. After reading it, you may wish I’d left it out… (Louis Wu 15:01:00 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is live – Sketch was feeling as though he didn’t have that much to share, but it’s still full of a bunch of interesting info. Swing by to give it a read! (It is, of course, also available in our Weekly Update Archive.)(Louis Wu 23:14:46 UTC)

Raising the information level cap.

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!

DEEP NNN stopped in with a bunch of links to his blog at 2old2play – he’s been building Stonehenge within Forge World. Go check out the progression!(Louis Wu 16:02:51 UTC)

Anton P. Nym just threw down the gauntlet for what looks like one of the more entertaining contests out there – he’s looking for a particular (staged) screenshot, and if you’re the first to provide it, he’ll provide 15 render minutes for your finest Halo shenanigans. Go see if you can give him what he wants! Update: Whoa. HQHB answered this challenge in under 2 hours. Insanity!(Louis Wu 14:48:55 UTC)

GhaleonEB has decided to start a blog about Forging – he’s focusing on how a map comes into being, rather than the nuts and bolts of actually building it. His opening entry is now up at Forward Unto Dawn – go give it a read! And bookmark it, because I’m betting future installments are gonna be fascinating.(Louis Wu 14:39:39 UTC)

Vulture, an entertainment blog at New York Magazine, touched on the news that Stephen Spielberg is interested in a Halo movie – although we already posted about this on Wednesday, the Vulture article also contains a run-down of what happened to the FIRST attempt at a Halo movie. Some of those facts were common knowledge before, some were new to me. Interesting read! (Please don’t get too offended by Vulture’s characterization of Halo’s novels…) Thanks, newguy2445.(Louis Wu 14:36:25 UTC)

FugitiveSoldier presented a short film of a Revenant’s misfortune on Hemorrhage… I guess those ‘seam’ issues aren’t just in fan-made maps! (FugitiveSoldier thinks it might be related to host migration.)(Louis Wu 14:35:00 UTC)

Hedgemony stopped by to say that he’s taking submissions again – and he includes an example of a recent screenshot he enhanced a bit for a fan. Dang.(Louis Wu 14:34:03 UTC)

Stephen Loftus noticed that there was a bit of non-English writing at the end of one of the entries in Halsey’s Journal (the book that comes with the Limited and Legendary Editions of Halo: Reach) – so he sent it to a friend in India, who was able to read it. (A scan of the snippet is here, if you want to see it for yourself.) You can read the email exchange between Stephen and his friend on our forum – and follow the rest of the thread for speculation about what it actually signifies. What a great little touch!(Louis Wu 14:33:16 UTC)
