A Night of Debauchery (or at least fun)
While at the NYC Reach Launch Event, Mig stole my camera and took a bunch of pictures. (You should be happy he did – if he hadn’t, there wouldn’t be ANY pictures, because I’m not smart enough to take it out of my pocket.) Captions assume you’re going through in order, so if you jump around, you might be confused by some of them. (Don’t take any of them really seriously – I’ve been drinking.)(Louis Wu 23:59:14 UTC)

Geek Speak Radio Show, Halo Reach Edition
So the folks at the Geek Speak Radio Show asked me if I’d participate on the show; I’m not sure I didn’t chase all their listeners away, but if you want to hear me doing my best to make Halo accessible to non-Halo players, go listen! (Elites have “horse-legs”? smh)(Louis Wu 22:44:29 UTC)

Hey everyone!
This is my first time posting the news on the front page. Hopfully I can manage to do so without any spelling errors. It is also the first podcast to be recorded in the new RT HQ. Enjoy!

AH: Halo: Reach Achievement Race
Hello there. Now as you may or may not know, there are three AAA titles that are coming out on September 14th! Pretty crazy, huh? They’re Cabela’s North American Adventures, Truth or Lies, and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.
Now we would usually have an achievement race for one of these big games, but I thought we would change it up a little this time. Another game is coming out on September 14th, it’s called Halo: Reach. So this time the Achievement Hunter Community Race will be for that game. Give the little, not-so-well-known games a chance for once.
So, leave your Gamertag in the race comments if you would like to participate. Sign-ups will be open until the game is released on September 14th. That is also when the race will start.
Good luck!

You can’t Reach me, Dogg!
A must-see vid is up on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter today. Snoop Dogg plays Reach with LL Cool J – and the techniques for psyching out their opponents go way, way beyond standard smack-talk. Watch it at B.net, or just swing by Funny Or Die (so you can vote). (Louis Wu 20:43:17 UTC)

RT: REACH for the stars
So Reach is out, and it’s a wonder our office is functioning at all. I’m not going to lie, productivity has slowed to an absolute crawl. BUT HOW DO WE NOT PLAY? The game is too damn good. That being said, in addition to today’s comic, and Monday’s episode, we’ve managed to eek out some Achievement Hunter videos as well. Ok, enough of this. I’ve got a date with Matchmaking.
