Hey Everybody,
We have a big awesome store update for you. As you know, The Recollection box set is on pre-sale now and will ship by September 14. Now in addition to seasons 6, 7 and 8, the box set also includes a free Grifball Bonus DVD! It features the last two Grifball mini-series we released on Halo Waypoint, and is available exclusively in our online store and at Best Buy stores on Sept. 14.

Now if you’ve already purchased seasons 6, 7 and 8 separately but would still like the Grifball DVD and a fancy way to present your Recollection set, then you are in luck. We are releasing a Recollection 3-DVD Case, which also comes with the Grifball Bonus DVD. (Please note that the Grifball Bonus DVD and the Recollection Case are limited-supply, first-come-first-serve items. Once these are sold out they will not be restocked. And to be clear, the case does NOT include the DVDs for seasons 6, 7 and 8.)

But wait there’s more. We have two new Grif-tastical shirts. The first is our oh-so-witty “I was born to take it easy shirt.” Announce your laziness with pride when you wear this snappy Grif quote t-shirt. Secondly, we have a very cool new customizable Grifball Athletic t-shirt. You can have your name, username, gamertag or any other random string of characters printed on the back. Check it out!

And last but not least, we’re dropping a deuce of new movie posters. The official RvB: The Recollection poster and something we’re calling “Caboosisms,” which features all your favorite Caboose quotes from over the years. Both are suitable for framing or rolling up for use as an ineffective telescope. Enjoy!

Hey guys,
Here’s what I think is our final Minerva’s Den video (unless there’s some wacky easter egg I don’t know about). It shows where to find the Spitfire terminal, and gives some tips on getting 9999 points to nab the High Score Achievement.

I’m shocked to say this weekend is not the Halofest I was expecting for the Weekend Hunt’s, but there’s still plenty of love for the franchise. Next week though, expect Reach…. lots and lots of Reach:

First up we have Verzhus going for Vidmaster Annual in Halo 3.
September 11th at 3pm EST
Contact him here on AH, or via his Gamertag: Scrotitingul

If you can’t make that one, Uchihafire is going for the same achievement in Halo 3 and is the last Halo achievement he needs until Tuesday.
Friday 10th – If this works better for you than Saturday, get those messages in now!
Send them to his profile here or to his Gamertag: Uchihafire

Next up, Amigox3 is hosting not one, but 3 Weekend Hunt’s across Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST.
Friday 10th – 7pm Central will be Halo 3 multiplayer achievements.
Saturday 11th – From anytime, will be Endure on Halo 3: ODST.
Sunday 12th – Again from anytime, will be the third day you have a chance for Vidmaster Annual in Halo 3.
Contact him via Twitter or his Gamertag of the same name: AmigoSniped

Lastly, my friend ckay99 is trying for a bunch of achievements in Left 4 Dead including the Crash Course DLC. Depending on numbers this could be going through the campaigns or versus mode.

If you want to host a future Weekend Hunt, post the details in this group thread to get some frontpage attention.

As you most likely have noticed, Shorts are back in full swing. Please enjoy our latest offering with careless abandon. Or careful abandon if such is your pleasure. I am also pleased to announced that the last episode of Red vs Blue Revelation will online Monday at 9 o’clock as per standard operating procedure, but in a wild disregard for regulations we have decided to air Chapter 20 Saturday afternoon for Sponsors. See you there!

And we also want to direct your attention to our good friend, Jeskid, who is at this very moment launching his latest project, Status Kill. I had the pleasure of watching Status Kill a few weeks ago and I highly recommend that you do the same right now. Jesse is clearly intent on continuing his streak of awesome productions. He has the first three episodes of Status Kill up right now — watching all three back to back is a great way to get addicted to the series.

I don’t know what it is (maybe the idea of Burnie as coach), but I really dug today’s comic. I think it might be my new favorite. Great job Luke and Griffon!

Happy day-before Reach everyone!
If you’re like me, you’re biting your finger nails waiting for midnight to come. Instead of sitting and staring at a wall to pass the time, let’s watch a video together. “What video” you say? How about this guide for the Most Dangerous Game Achievement in Mass Effect 2’s latest (and greatest) DLC, Lair of the Shadow Broker!

Our next “pre-Reach” video for the day is a handy guide from Kerry. It shows some very easy and fast ways to get that much needed cash you’ll need for those spending Achievements. Enjoy!

Hey guys! I’m back! After a brief hiatus we return with some fancy new AHWU in a fancy new office. Enjoy your first sneak peek in to the place and a sneak peek at this week’s upcoming games!

Who is up for some Cabella’s???
