EXP issues - being worked on
If you've been playing Halo 3 on Xbox LIVE today, and haven't seen your EXP going up - don't panic. There's a problem, but they're working on it. Check this post at Bungie.net for details. (Louis Wu 18:57:18 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough
HBO has a long history of helping fans get through the toughest parts of Halo Campaign play - Asmodeus wrote up a Legendary Walkthrough of Halo, and Mike Miller put together a much-lauded guide that could get you through Halo 2 on Legendary. For Halo 3, Daniel Morris (AKA Tyrant) has upped the ante - not content with a guide for muddling through on plain old Legendary, he's built a Mythic Walkthrough - Solo, Legendary, All Skulls On. This is Halo 3 at its most difficult - Legendary difficulty, using 9 gold skulls, 4 silver ones (and don't think the silver ones are all sweetness and light - the Blind skull, for example, removes your HUD, meaning you have no easy access to health or weapon status, and you have no reticule for targeting). Just showing a runthrough, though, would be somewhat useless, from the standpoint of teaching you useful skills - if that's all you want, you should swing by High Speed Halo and check out the SLASO runs. No, what Tyrant gives you is much, much more useful - it's a guide you can follow that will get most of us actually THROUGH THE GAME on this difficulty. There are several pages of general tips, and then a guide for each specific level. We'll be releasing one level per week - there are a lot of video clips that go with each level, and we want to make sure we have the bandwidth to support everyone who wants to try this. First up - Sierra 117. Read the text, watch the video clips (download them, so you can refer to them during your run)... and you're well on your way to finishing Halo at its most challenging!

RvB Reconstruction 16
Red vs Blue: Reconstruction Chapter 16 is now live - both the free public version and the extended cut for sponsors. Things are getting a little crazy; Washington does a lot of explaining, and while we won't post any spoilers, if you've watched it and are trying to figure out what the implications are, there's a lively discussion going on on our forum. (Do NOT read it before you watch - there are spoilers in almost every post.) (Louis Wu 13:18:46 UTC) (permalink)

Hot and Fresh? Ew.
Hawty McBloggy ran across a Cafe Press shirt inspired by a Newgrounds Halo Flash vid - and it tickled her fancy. I'm pretty sure I'd never actually WEAR it... but it's funny. (Louis Wu 13:17:30 UTC) (permalink)
