Drinking your own… what?
Ars Technica wrote up their list of most overrated games – and Halo (the original) made the list. I have a little trouble recognizing the game I’ve been playing for more than ten years in the description they posted… thanks, Arithmomaniac. (Louis Wu 17:09:06 UTC)

Podtacular 334: Waypoint in the News
Download
It’s been a while since we’ve talked about news in the Halo-verse, so it’s time to take a look at the past few Halo Bulletins and see what we’ve missed. We’ve seen weekly playlist updates where map fixes and new game modes are introduced into matchmaking. Since release day, we’ve seen SWAT, Team Snipers, FFA Throwback and Team Regicide hits the streets with Extraction coming next week. The Crimson Map pack has been announced with three new War Games maps: Shattered, Harvest and Wreckage to join us on December 10th. Finally, the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge was revealed this week. It’s a competition to find the best and most dedicated Halo player in War Games and Spartan Ops for a chance to win great prizes. Enjoy

Out of Reclaimer and into the secret rooms
t00lbox has gotten out of Reclaimer – and he can show you how to do it, too. Interesting to see how 343 built out this map to seem so much bigger than it actually is!(Louis Wu 20:38:33 UTC)

2012 VGAs – Now with More Halo
Spike’s Video Game Awards were last night – you can watch the entire 2-hour extravaganza on their website now. If your time is limited, here’s the key stuff: you can watch the new Spartan Ops trailer by starting at around 1:42:30 (if you care about the intro, or 1:43:10 if you don’t). You can also watch it on Kotaku, if you’d rather. Other timestamps worth checking out: 13:45, 38:30. (If you need to save time, we’ve archived these two bits here and here.) In terms of awards, Halo 4 took home Best Xbox 360 Game and Best Graphics. Not too shabby! (Louis Wu 20:09:11 UTC)
