Folks STILL haven’t come up with a solution for the latest Hide, Seek, Snap image – so we’ve added a second clue. And we’ve had word from the first Round 10 winner that Sgt. Johnson codes do, in fact, still work, even though the original cards said that they’d expire on January 31 – so…

Last night, we heard from xoools that he was re-downloading the Halo 2 maps again – and the fact that they were back online was confirmed a few hours later on our forum, when urk stated that you could grab them again. Go do it – you want to have them in time for Bungie’s…

The Chronicles of ODS Steve is up to #60 with ‘Demons Come In Black Too’, posted today at Hawty McBloggy’s. We neglected to post Sunday’s Grin + Bear It – I’m hoping that particular plotline is nearly finished. Still no word on when we’ll see the next Reclaimer.(Louis Wu 17:32:24 UTC)

ElusiveEagle519 found a video discussing the Red Bull Stratos project – an attempt to break a bunch of humans-falling-to-earth records that have stood for 50 years. Felix Baumgartner is looking to become a modern-day Helljumper! Pretty cool.(Louis Wu 17:31:59 UTC)

Apologies – the Hide, Seek, Snap contest has been on hold, sort of, for the past week. (Life is not always gentle, and Halo is not always priority one.) Congrats to CrudeDiatribe, who was the first to submit a correct answer for the second of the Round 10 shots – the first one hasn’t been…
