Mythic Massacre Challenge – Tip of the Spear
The Tyrant showed off a run done by a friend, VincentKurayama – it’s a Mythic run through Reach’s Tip of the Spear on Mythic… with every possible enemy killed. Now THAT’s some dedication. The plan is to play the whole GAME this way. (This is just the first episode.)(Louis Wu 13:41:01 UTC)

Unfortunately, it just made the Covenant more angry.” –AKG Range
“Skull taken!” –TheMattyFez

Understanding Contingencies, Producing Fun
Bungie’s head of User Research, John Hopson, looked back at an article he wrote more than 10 years ago, when he was still a graduate student, and talked about its relevance in today’s game design. The article discusses Behavioral Game Design, and while Halo’s not mentioned directly, the subject of how games get people to keep playing them has been a hot topic on our forum recently, and the ideas in this article are fantastic food for thought. Take a look! Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu 16:17:05 UTC)

So… the Halo 4 60-second TV spot (which had its world debut during the England vs France Euro 2012 game this week) made its US debut during last night’s basketball game between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Today, if you visit ESPN.com (and ensure that your ad blockers are turned off), you’ll see a banner at the top with a Halo 4 video; play it, and some weird stuff happens. Read the entirety of the thread started by Hoovaloov to see what’s already been discovered – and be sure to add your own thoughts to the mix!(Louis Wu 14:15:06 UTC)
