We got word from Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris, the Mythic Master, that his January Challenge was (almost) met – B0ANERGES managed to complete 8 of the missions in the time allotted (and the final mission since then), thereby becoming the 10th Mythic Conqueror on record… and winning the 1600 Microsoft Point pot Tyrant put up for the first finisher. Congratulations!(Louis Wu 21:33:27 UTC)

Our friendly neighborhood punmeister was inspired (possibly by a fragment of an underdone potato) to poke fun at one of the most common denizens of Halo 3 matchmaking – check out the latest One One Se7en for full details. (We may have to start numbering these for real again at some point…)(Louis Wu 15:19:14 UTC)

It’s Tuesday, and it’s a new year, so XerxdeeJ is back with word of updates on the Tied the Leader blog – TTL Venus sat down with TTL Demag0gue for a pretty in-depth interview about Halo, comics, horses, and Chicago cops… and OboeCrazy whipped up another volume of Gunslinger highlights – highlights for me were Hoovaloov’s flag steal, and Snatch’s clutch bomb protection. (The whole thing was fun to watch, though.) Check out the goodies!(Louis Wu 15:14:19 UTC)

Rune Of Red has been reading the Halo novels, and has decided to elaborate on what, for him, makes the Master Chief special. See if you agree!(Louis Wu 15:13:26 UTC)

Heh – Mid7night found a cool video showing Johnson getting an Overkill on the last level of the campaign… unfortunately, all four deaths were players.(Louis Wu 14:53:19 UTC)
