AH: Dogs and Cats, living together!
Good evening folks. I hope you are having a lovely Friday night. I’m trying to finish off Dead Rising 2 before I kick off a mini-vacation! Woot!
Speaking of Dead Rising 2, have you been using our awesome Dead Rising 2 Hidden Item Guide? It’s totally awesome and about 99% content complete! Only missing a combo card or two! Don’t worry, those are coming though.
Alright, back to the videos. Up first I have a quick guide showing you how to defeat the helicopter. You probably had no problems, but you aren’t an idiot, like me.
Up next is everyone’s favorite psychopath, SLAPPY! Enjoy!

AH: Fable III – Voice Talent
I may be slightly biased in my opinion, okay completely biased, but I think the voices behind Fable III is one of the most interesting voice cast for a video game ever. John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg and more!
If you don’t know who these people are, I ruddy well suggest you watch the video and get your daily dash of British spiffyness!

AH: XBL Marketplace Reward Scheme for October
The XBox Live Marketplace is crammed full of Arcade games and retail game add ons, most of which you might not have bought and played. Well, as an incentive for you to buy more from the Marketplace, Microsoft are running a promotion for the month of October that may interest you.
From today until the end of October, if you spend 2400 MSP in the Marketplace on Arcade games and game add ons, you’ll receive 800 MSP back! That’ll be just two 1200 MSP games to buy to receive enough for some upcoming games or DLC, so it’s win-win.
The catch is, only full price items count towards the 2400 MSP you need to spend. Deal of the Week and discounted items won’t count, so although they seem like a bargain at the time, they won’t help you get that juicy reward at the end of the month.
Want some suggestions on what games to buy? Why not these that Achievement Hunter already has you covered for: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Plants vs. Zombies, Hydrophobia or even Death Spank: Thongs of Virtue. Like I said, plenty to choose from!
Or you could spend 560 MSP of the required amount on “The Sacrifice” DLC that’s coming out for Left 4 Dead 2 and Left 4 Dead on October 5th. Check out the trailer for the DLC below:

Haunted
TDSpiral was impressed by the Bungie-exclusive (well, for now, at least) Skull Helmet in Reach – so he drew it. Killer.(Louis Wu 15:28:36 UTC)

Sing it, baby!
Cody Miller has been outspoken about his unhappiness with Reach’s story. He’s now taken that dissatisfaction to a new level – in song. Story Ain’t Deep would make Mark Knopfler cringe, but is pretty funny. His Nirvana parody, ‘Smells Like Retcon‘, is less successful, mostly because Cody confuses ‘grunge’ for ‘drunk’. And Hawaiian Pig gets in on the action with his Firefly theme, repurposed (extra points for playing the music himself!). (reprobate wanted to play, too – he didn’t record his version, it’s just lyrics, and he’s not taking the same shots at the Reach story… but it’s a decent effort nonetheless. One might even say Noble.)(Louis Wu 15:27:01 UTC)
