Heh - Joystiq and Bungie are facing off in a Mythic Halo 3 challenge this week... and Joystiq is trying to make sure their deck is stacked. They're looking for the best Halo 3 players in the community to play on their team - chosen members will receive a Mythic Map Pack code for their troubles, plus Recon armor if they win the game they play in. If you'd like the chance to participate, add a comment to the story and list the information they need to make their decisions. Can Joystiq beat Bungie at their own game? We'll see!

Part Time Gamers - a new podcast
Kevin Larrabee let us know that a new podcast has kicked off - Part Time Gamers is a group of gamers that simply don't have the time to play as much as they used to, but they still love games. (How much? Well... several of them are actual game developers from studios like Bungie and Doublefine. Bungie's Technical Art Designer Seth Gibson is one of the primary 'casters.) Their first podcast is an hour and a half long, and discusses game development, industry news and trends, and what games they're playing now. Check 'em out - and be sure to let 'em know what you think!

Halo Talk at Emerald City CC
There was a Halo panel at the Emerald City Comic Convention yesterday... and Jake, from 8BitJoystick, was there to cover it. Swing by his blog to read all the details. Some of the news was announced earlier (for example, that Greg Bear is writing three new Halo novels focused on the Forerunner) but some is new, or clarified - Frank was pretty clear that the story of John and Cortana is NOT finished, something that's been hinted at before but not nailed down. Go read! There's a rather large thread on our forum, if you want to discuss.
