Monthly Mythic Challenge - Update
We got word from Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris about the Monthly Mythic Challenge kicked off this month. There weren't any winners this time around, so the rules are changing a little to make things more reasonable. First up - folks who have previously beaten the game on Mythic are now eligible (although they'll need to earn some new 'medals' along the way). Also, if nobody completes the challenge the next time around, whoever is farthest along WILL win SOMETHING. More details will be forthcoming, as some of the more difficult 'medals' are tested for viability. (Louis Wu 19:51:15 UTC) (permalink)

Ride the Line, Halo-style

Halo Wars Release Dates, Worldwide
Hmm... that's interesting. 2900d4u pointed out a post at Strategyinformer.com that provides release dates for Halo Wars, worldwide. According to the site, it will be available in Japan and Asia Pacific first, on February 26, then Europe on the 27th, and finally the Americas on March 3. No word on why the normal 'US first, the rest of the world a little later' pattern is shifted for this game. (Louis Wu 19:02:40 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 3 Character Profiles
nomis78 posted a series of Character Profiles - great shots of the players in Halo 3. I'd agree with him that the Yanme'e shot is the best. (Louis Wu 17:19:43 UTC) (permalink)
Comic Monday
Lots of comics this Monday - lessee what we got. vlad3163 found a Gun Show Comic that combines Seinfeld and Halo 3. (The forum wasn't impressed.) TTL Demag0gue told us about Reclaimer 121 - Tool of the Forerunners throws yet another twist into the story. And OddGodHMK let us know that after an extended downtime, The Biased, Chapter 1, Page 14 is up, with a new style and some confusion. Go read! (Louis Wu 17:17:17 UTC) (permalink)
I think Westley would get the kill.
mendicantbias00 received a ThinkGeek catalog in the mail... and was amused by the way they set up some action figures. Here's hoping the Master Chief doesn't find the trigger on that Laser... he'll lose an arm if he does. (Louis Wu 17:08:26 UTC) (permalink)
