Archer, the lead character of the animated FX show of the same name, may very well be getting his own pinball table in developer Zen Studios’ Pinball FX2, and fans of the show and game have Twitter to thank for it. Earlier this afternoon, Neil Holman, the production designer and art director of Archer, responded to a tweet proposing an exchange of “dead hookers” (yes, you read that right) for his cartoon spy to get his own table with, “Man, if they’re up for it, I will put them in touch with whoever they need. End of the day, it’s FX’s call though.”

Both tweets were also directed at Zen Studios’ Twitter account, and the developer was apparently quite smitten with the idea, tweeting back “Please do,” in all caps, complete with a smiley face.

Finally, Holman responded to Zen’s tweet by requesting their contact info be privately sent to him so that he the two sides could make this thing happen. “DM me a contact email/info! I’ll put the wheels in motion,” tweeted Holman. Nothing is confirmed at this time, but it looks very likely that FX’s narcissistic spy is destined to get the silver-ball treatment through future DLC.

Microsoft has revealed the date and location of its 2012 pre-Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing. The conference will be held on Monday, June 4 in Los Angeles’ Galen Center. Industry and press members who have been invited have been asked to arrive at 9 a.m. PST. A precise start time for the conference itself was not identified by the console-maker, but it should be noted that the doors swung open at the same hour for last year’s briefing, with the official start time being 9:30 a.m.

It is expected that Microsoft will focus its efforts heavily on promoting Halo 4, its flagship 2012 title, during the course of the show. Judging from the strategy the company has employed at the past several Electronic Entertainment Expos, gamers can also expect the firm to make a multitude of announcements and show plenty of footage of the major Xbox 360, XBLA and Kinect titles arriving during the second half of 2012. The most recent reports have Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft focusing solely on Xbox 360 wares and electing not to pull back the curtain on its next-generation console, supposedly codenamed Durango.

Welcome to our gigantic Fez completion guide! This guide will take you from no achievements to 12, zero g to 200g and we’ll take you there… delicately. Thanks to community member MRX93 for helping us ever so slightly here and there. Without further ado… we have to explain some things.

[Editors Note: We highly recommend not using this guide until you can’t go any further on your own. Fez is about exploring and getting lost. Polytron put it best when they said “play like the internet doesn’t exist”. That being said, we know many people will become frustrated and want help. This guide is written for them.  Please use  it only as an emergency cheat-sheet.]

There are two ways to complete Fez. Complete it like you’re playing it, and to complete it for the sake of completion. We here at XBLA Fans are aware of this and have set up our guide in accordance with the different types of Fez players.

We have taken great care to separate anything and everything that would be considered a spoiler. Our policy follows that any puzzle that requires knowledge acquired outside of the area to which the puzzle belongs (barring basic knowledge and specific sections) will be posted in the SPOILER ZONE. Each area has one, and each zone is marked very clearly in text and with pictures. Each picture hints at what the spoiler covers. Once you’re done with many areas and have accrued much knowledge you’ll want to come back and check each spoiler tag to see if you can now complete that puzzle. Read More
