LEB (Little English Blog ;) ) reckons that Juryben has a leaked Halo 4 Mulitplayer image. I say we've found our new Tom Morrello....

Durango Lives!
Microsoft's Brian Hall (the general manager of Windows Live) mentioned "the new Xbox" in an interveiw, suggesting it could be integrated with Windows Live.
"We've had Hotmail and operated Hotmail for about 16 years. We obviously have Exchange, and Outlook, that people use at work.
We just decided it was time to do something new and bring the best from each of those and put them together and release it right in time for the new wave of products that we could have coming out with Windows 8, with the new version of Office, with the new Windows Phone and the new Xbox."
That's probably the most senior Microsoft employee to mention the new Xbox yet!

Beta testing has started for Destiny
Sundalius asked Bungie a question about Destiny which they responded to in the mail sack:
Has Bungie started reaching out for Beta Testers already?
We most certainly have! Our User Research team has very specific curiosities in mind when they tap a Beta Tester on the shoulder. The mazes that they build into their Laboratorium are meticulously customized for the people they choose to run through them. If you have yet to be selected, sit tight - and make sure that the email address attached to your profile is one that you still check. Your time may yet come.
Makes sense if Chris Butcher is doing take home tests.

Minolta1034: knows exactly what's in Halo 4 - it's a sweet re-cap of all he knows about the game. Skip to the 2 minute mark for the Halo stuff.....
I think this might qualify as Transformers porn?

BS Angel drops the Halo 4 Button Layouts
BS Angel drops the Halo 4 Button Layouts
While we're going to be releasing a decent amount of news at PAX, we didn't want to leave you hanging this week. So, to satisfy that craving for Halo 4-related information, today we offer you the various button layouts that will soon be at your fingertips.
Considering the importance of players getting attached to particular layouts (such as Bumper Jumper and Recon), we've been very careful with the control scheme design process. Adding something like Sprint, which is equally as important as other actions, has been challenging because it's competing with the stick-click input typically used for crouching and zooming.
We've tried to stay true to the classic presets you've become accustomed to throughout the years. For instance, an important part of Bumper Jumper is being able to jump and melee at the same time while moving and aiming, so we've left that intact. We initially experimented with a button swap and brought in some MLG players to test it. After observing the difficulty they had with a modified version of clawing, we had to think about what's more important, using an Armor Ability or throwing a grenade? Ultimately we decided to leave Bumper Jumper with "Throw Grenade" on the left trigger and "Use Armor Ability" on the "X" button.
Between bringing back all the Reach button layouts and adding a new one (which is called Fishstick and will be beneficial to those coming from other FPS games), we're confident you'll be able to jump right in and be comfortable with the controls. In the whole scheme of things (see what I did there?), the button layout you use will depend on your play style and favorite game modes.
