Eep - almost missed it! The third installment of Tyrant's Summer Mythic Recon Challenge goes live tomorrow - The Storm is the level you'll be fighting with (literally). Win, and the coveted Recon armor is yours. More details are available on Bungie.net. (Louis Wu 23:53:48 UTC) (permalink)
Dave Candland - not dumb or lazy as a sack of bricks
The latest Broken In article at Bungie focuses on Dave Candland, Interface Designer nonpareil. He's got some good stuff to say - about where he came from, how he got to where he is, and what you can do to improve your own chances of following him. Go read! (Louis Wu 23:48:31 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3: ODST Campaign Impressions from Kotaku
Kotaku's Stephen Totilo attended an event in New York this week in which he got the chance to play through some of Halo 3: ODST's campaign, and he's written up his impressions. Swing by and give 'em a read! (Louis Wu 22:26:52 UTC) (permalink)

Honoring Bungie Day, Fan-Style
FyreWulff is going to try and hit 7,777 games played on Xbox LIVE on Bungie Day, July 7 - he's starting tomorrow morning. (As of right now, he's got 7,343 games played - I don't think he could have asked for a better (more Bungie-ish) starting place.) He's got 12 days to play 434 games... that's a non-trivial task, given that he's planning on playing every single one of those as legit games. (If you figure 10 minutes a game, average, you're looking at 72 hours of playing time, spread over 12 days - that's 6 hours per day, every day.) If you play with him during this time (and aren't disqualified by a few simple rules), you're in the running for some cool prizes. Check out his post for all the details!

It's that time of year...
Buttskunk noticed a feature at Pwn or Die - Master Chief gets some High School Senior pictures taken! Bizarro. (Louis Wu 14:54:26 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 ODST Drop Pod - in Banjo: Kazooie
CaLL Me ZeNy, who, apparently, is angling for the HBO foreign correspondent position, let us know about an interpretation of the ODST mechanic in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. The guy's still gotta work on that landing (I'd hate to be in the pod when it hits), but the drop is pretty cool! (Louis Wu 13:43:19 UTC) (permalink)
Podcast Interview with head of Canada's PGL
Curtis Blakely sent word that the latest Lunchpail Platoon podcast, from nerdballoon.com, has an interview with Keith Gronning, the head of Canada's Pro Gaming League. Discussion ranges from pro gaming in general to this weekend's PGL tournament in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - swing by to listen, and if you're in the area, join them at the tournament!

What the French, Episode 5
CaLL Me ZeNy pointed out What the French, Episode 5 - another collection of 'wtf' moments in Matchmaking, this time with French titles. The action's still universally understandable, though... go watch! (Louis Wu 13:42:15 UTC) (permalink)
