Catching up with Halo 3 Fails
Tons of stuff fell through the cracks this weekend - let's see if we can scrape some of it back up. chris10023 let us know about a couple of new 'Halo 3 Fails' videos - Top 10 of Season 1 went live on Friday, and Episode 11 (which I suppose is the start of season 2?) went live yesterday.

The Mythical Monthly Mythic Challenge
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris let us know that the Monthly Mythic Challenge has gotten a boost - this time around, there's a special treat. first-time soloists have a shot at a Mythic Map Pack code - and to help provide you incentive to EARN it, you get an extra week to complete the challenge! You've got to start on March 1 (or later), and the first person to finish all 10 levels in Mythic difficulty in less than two weeks will receive a set of Mythic Maps. (Remember, the Mythic Walkthrough here on HBO can help.) If nobody finishes it (or if the contest is won by a team, or an existing Conqueror), then the prize is the standard 1600 MS Points. Browse the 'Quest for SLASO' group for full details... and prepare to conquer!

I got a NOOO Scope
Another episode of Anoj's Top 10 Halo 3 Series - Episode 25 looks at no-scopes. The randoms at the start are great, but they're all pretty fun. Thanks again, urk.

Mythic Map Code Giveaway: Results
Wow. So we wanted to give away a few Mythic Map codes yesterday... little did I know how much interest that idea would generate. The next giveaway is gonna be a bit simpler (on the back end), I think. In the six hours that the contest was open, the official thread received 943 responses, with a total of almost 4500 title line suggestions. (Many, many more were posted in OTHER threads, or emailed to us - but those weren't eligible for a code, according to the very simple rules listed in the first post.) I'd like to say that an awful lot of these submissions are great - and I'll be folding many of them into the title line rotation here at HBO, so your words will live on, whether or not you win a code. That said, though... when you've got 5 codes, and almost 5000 entries... 99.9% of all entries are going to lose. I'm sorry about that. If you want to see what we got (without reading nearly 1000 individual posts), I put up the full list here. Without further ado, then... the winners!
- HBO - Saucy, with a hint of win (Llamalizard)
- HBO: Please pwn responsibly. (Testify)
- HBO: How many times have you been here today? (JeSteR 343)
- HBO: now adopted by Angelina Jolie (Ryan Clark)
- HBO: This is the last tagline. Start over. (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))
All five of these people have been contacted via the email addresses they supplied in their posts; if your name is up there and you haven't gotten an email from us, check your junk folder. I can't tell you what made these stand out over the enormous amount of competition; I DO know I have a first-cut file with my top 75 or so, but on a different day, the winning five would probably have been different. Don't feel bad if you didn't win - and don't give up hope! We'll be giving out another five later this week. (Louis Wu 18:28:33 UTC)

ODST - to the max
Adam Grumbo sent word (two days ago!) that a 405th regular, Ruben, had created a truly beautiful ODST helmet - you can see the finished pictures on this page, and you can jump back to the start of the thread for the beginnings of the project, back in mid-September. Astounding work! (Hawty McBloggy has her own writeup of the helmet, with some of the best pics pulled out for your viewing pleasure.)

A fun way to get a code
SketchFactor started up a Mythic Maps code scavenger hunt on Bungie.net - one fifth of a code has been posted in this thread. Can you find the other four-fifths, and assemble them in the right order, before anyone else?

Bungie Blog Roundup
You miss one day of news on the Bungie Blog, you miss a lot. I think I need to make a little Stephen Colbert fist-in-the-air graphic with 'urrrrrk!' coming out of his mouth. Here's a rundown:
- DigitalPh33r posted Hard Justice Episode 12 ('Resignation, Act Two') - Bernard tries to get assault charges dropped in an odd way, and Eddie and Max find themselves in a pickle.
- Queso Man has posted his fifth montage - some fun clips in there!
- urk used the Bungie.net tag search to find some very cool Security armor shots. Can you find more?
- The Mythic Map Pack Screenshot Contest is over - winners have been notified. Hope you were lucky!
- MLGPro.com posted some exclusive Assembly gameplay footage - MLG-style. Unfortunately... at the time this post is being written, gameroom.mlgpro.com is offline... so the videos aren't watchable. Keep track of the link, though; it won't be down for long.
- While you're waiting for that Assembly goodness, you can see some MLG Playlist Top 10 action, courtesy of B Mc Gann and Static Hazard. This is Episode 4.
urrrrrkkkk! (Louis Wu 17:20:46 UTC)

Halo Action Figure Theater is back!
Elnea started updating Halo Action Figure Theater again last week - but it slipped through the cracks as I traveled. Thanks to CougRon for noticing a SECOND update today - it's amazing how easy it was to get back into it after 5 months! (After all... how complicated can action figure porn BE?)

More Chances at Mythic Map Pack Codes
Randomsauce wrote to let us know that Halo3Mythbusters has a Mythic Map Pack code to give away - create a Covenant-themed screenshot by midnight Tuesday, win a set of the maps early! Read the forum post for full details. (We're going to be giving away a few codes as well... but not until I get home, because it's going to be a very short-term contest, and I want to be there to monitor results. Look for that on Tuesday.) (Louis Wu 12:57:44 UTC)

Mythic Map Preview at Halo.fr
Johnny Be GooD of Halo.fr let us know that they've put up a preview of the Mythic maps, complete with lots of screenshots. It's in French (duh)... but Google can help if you don't speak the language! (And pictures don't need any translation.) (Louis Wu 05:06:53 UTC)

Prima's got Halo Wars Covered
We got word from Prima Games about some new content they're developing with respect to Halo Wars. (They're doing the Official Game Guide.) They've got a blog running - the current blog post contains a first look at the game, along with some screens, and there's an RSS feed so you can keep track of new stuff easily. They're also running a contest whereby you can submit your email address to win a shot at a signed Halo 3 art book. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 05:00:20 UTC)

What's The Matter With Love?
I'm not usually a fan of screenshot montages; I've always felt that they don't really give the screenshots the love they deserve. radiant penguin stopped by last night with an exception, however - it's a Valentines Montage (a little late) that really made me smile. Go watch it - it tells a great story! (Louis Wu 10:08:09 UTC)

I don't think I'll forgive her for the Debbie Boone reference
Hawty McBloggy found a cool lamp for sale on eBay - I should have posted this sooner, there are only 8 hours left on the auction. Starting bid is $73... go see if it's worth it to you! (Louis Wu 16:47:25 UTC)

Like myths through an hourglass...
The first of the writeups of a press event Bungie held last week is now online - swing by Tied the Leader for a whole passel of screenshots of the Mythic Map Pack, along with some very intriguing discussion to go with them. Our own writeup (with pics, and some vid clips) will be coming soon! (Louis Wu 16:10:13 UTC)

Halo Wars Reviews, Feb 13
The reviews for Halo Wars are starting to come out - I think we'll summarize them once a day or so, so that you're not flooded with newsposts. Today's entries: First Look Reviews has a video review (thanks, sniper2477), and PC Magazine has a Hands-on article. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 21:09:21 UTC)

The Bungie Blog - A Bounteous Bouquet of Broadcast Bulletins
Last night was pretty productive for urk, over at the Bungie Blog - lots of local content, and even one new fan bit:
- The Sandbox screenshots that were unveiled in the recent IGN/T3 interviews (sometimes in really small sizes) are now all available, in beautiful hi-res, in the Halo 3 Screenshot Gallery. Swing by and feast your eyes.
- The next Community Spotlight feature has been posted - Facility B5D is a Bungie.net group founded originally to give people info about Recon armor, but has grown into a tightly-knit community of friends. Go see what goodies they've added to Bungie Favorites this week!
- The Bungie Online Team took on the Community Team on the Mythic Maps for the most recent installment of the Bungie Humpday Challenge - I think the Online Team can blame Stosh for their drumming. (I mean, hell, they blame him for everything else...)
- Bryan Simon has released the latest episode of his 'Voicemail Chronicles' series - and Bungie gets the news heads-up. It's always fun to listen to silly people ranting...
Whew. That's a lot of news - I could call it a day, I think! (Don't worry, I'm not.) (Louis Wu 14:29:36 UTC)
