We’re finally caught up on the schedule so this week’s show should be coming out at the usual time: Sunday night. Now it’s time to get started on this Sunday’s show.

We’re surrounded, Sergeant!

This is quite a long level with a lot of story content. You encounter the flood for the first time in Halo 3, infected Brutes, the flood pure form, the flamethrower, and witness the devastation that the flood leave in their wake as they consume everything in their path. We need your tips on how to complete this level successfully! How do you save the marine that’s getting attacked right in front of your eyes? how do you deal with the different incarnations of the flood pure form? Are there any secrets in this level? What do you do when you get attacked by an overwhelming number of flood organisms?

Deadline is Thursday Night

Let us know! Just click the big green button and tell us about your best strategies for vanquishing the flood. Be sure to include your gamertag so we can tell the Halo Nation you helped out. There isn’t much time so hurry!

Midnight’s blog has been around the web a back.  Recently one of his blog posts was selected to be published in a book.  A portion of his blog post was recently read on National Public Radio with the book’s author, Sarah Boxer.   When asked about exceptional blogs, she said that Midnight’s blog is “especially good” and an example of a post that will not spoil – which is why it works well in a printed book.  You can listen to the interview with Sarah Boxer here:  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17597712

“Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web“ by Sarah Boxer will be released on February 12, 2008.  Amazon is selling it for $10.17 with a regular list price of $14.95.

For reference, the blog post that’s going to make the book can be found here:  http://midnight.hushedcasket.com/2006/02/27/panties-for-a-dime/
