Neurotic 9 noticed that the cover of the album ‘Adventures in Dubstep & Beyond‘ has a pretty familiar character… (if you don’t recognize it, check out the links from this post.) (Louis Wu 05:56:21 UTC)

Activision’s Bobby Kotick might not have the most graceful manner… but he’s still got nice things to say about Bungie. Thanks, The BS Police. (Louis Wu 05:55:50 UTC)

IGN asked a bunch of its other editors (not the ones that have written Reach reviews) what they think of the game… most are pretty positive! Thanks, GrimBrother One.(Louis Wu 05:55:12 UTC)

Just dropping this off real quick. I need to get ready for the Community Playdate in an hour and a half! See you there!

Spartans…prepare for glory!

Spartans…prepare for glory!

Hey guys, I wanted to let everyone know that we’re putting together a Community Playdate in Halo: Reach tonight. We’ve been playing this game pretty much non-stop since last Tuesday and want to share the love.

So, put down your Recollection Box Sets (which are available NOW in the Rooster Teeth store) for a few hours and jump on Reach with the guys from Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth.

The first comment on this post will be a list of gamertags who want to get some Reach on tonight, feel free to send invites or requests to anyone on this list. If you’d like to be added, write your gamertag in a comment and we’ll update it!

This won’t be the last community playdate, so keep your eyes on the site for more! See you at 8pm CST.

THQ’s press site just updated some details on incentives to buy Darksiders for PC released on the 23rd.

In addition to purchasing the game through traditional retail outlets, gamers can opt to get their copy of Darksiders for the Window PC from 12.01am EST on the 23rd September through a variety of Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) partners. Users who pre-order Darksiders PC from Steam will receive a digital copy of Titan Quest Gold Edition for free, pre-ordering from Direct 2 Drive will earn gamers a free copy of Red Faction Guerrilla for PC and Gametap, is offering a free copy of Company of Heroes with each pre-order.

Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Last week, we mentioned a video of a jetpack-wearing Spartan flying around Trafalgar Square in London – VG247.com has posted a video of the setup for this, along with the other Spartans at the event. Fun! Thanks, Laird.(Louis Wu 19:43:59 UTC)

w00t! Tag and Release is back at Bungie.net – which means two things: cool screenshots are a link away, and (more importantly) the B.net tag search is fixed! Yay! Go look at what ‘Elite’ brings up.(Louis Wu 18:28:56 UTC)

Back and better than ever.

Back and better than ever.

Over the weekend, JonCJG updated his blog to reflect the latest videos in his One Life Remaining and Arby ‘n’ the Chief series:

• One Life Remaining S2: Episode 8
• One Life Remaining S2: Episode 9
• Arby ‘n’ the Chief S04E07: “B&” (1/2)

Katherine is seriously nuts… and The Chief does a bad, bad thing.(Louis Wu 17:13:20 UTC)

Adam Susskind let Bungie know that Episode 11 of his webcomic, the Long Haul, Day One is up to Page 11. Snow is everywhere.(Louis Wu 17:10:44 UTC)

Get fit.

He writes the songs.

Keep that enemy crotch out of your face.

New dog, old tricks.

Signed Halo merchandise for a great charity.

Now with more snow!
