Hide, Seek, Snap – Round 3 Winner
Congrats to Playkid, who successfully reproduced our Round 3 screenshot for the Hide, Seek, Snap contest – a Sgt. Johnson code is on its way! (We don’t have a Round 4 image up yet; things are a little crazy around here. Hopefully soon!)(Louis Wu 16:19:49 UTC)

I don’t think that’s what Cortana meant…
Cody Miller was struck by inspiration (or maybe a falling brick) and came up with a not-safe-for-work ditty. Text-only; you’ll have to sing it in your head. (Careful.)(Louis Wu 16:18:40 UTC)

2009’s Most Popular Xbox Live Titles in Australia
Yesterday, we mentioned the 2009 top 20 Xbox LIVE titles in the US, courtesy of Major Nelson. Today, Kotaku Australia has posted the top 10 most popular titles for the year in Australia. Halo 3 was number one, there, too. (ODST came in at #7 – the Aussies liked it more than the Americans did!)(Louis Wu 16:17:09 UTC)

The Heart of Midlothian Comes Alive
We don’t usually use prewritten blurbs, but this one’s pretty good:343 Industries has partnered with ONE to create a stunning motion comic based on Frank O’Connor’s Halo: Evolutions short story. Told in ONE’s unique artistic style, “Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian” is a story of bravery and sacrifice in the darkest parts of space. “Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian” will air weekly as a four-part series exclusive to Halo Waypoint, starting this Saturday, January 16th. After the final episode, the Midlothian series will be available on Waypoint indefinitely so fans can come back to watch this amazing story again and again.
We’re happy to be able to bring you the trailer in 720p downloadable beauty – you can grab a copy from us in WMP9 (24.4 mb) or QuickTime (29.4 mb) formats. This was a wonderful story in the Evolutions collection, and an animated retelling makes my feet tingle. Go grab the trailer – and look forward to Part 1 on Waypoint this Saturday!(Louis Wu 12:58:04 UTC)

Some of those were… odd.
Apparently, last year’s Halo-themed wedding made a list of ‘15 Insane Weddings‘ at WeddingABC.net – but don’t worry, they’re doing great! Their one-year anniversary is right around the corner. Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 22:38:28 UTC)

One Life Remaining S1E8
One Life Remaining, S1E8, went live last week. We know, because it made Bungie’s Comm Chatter. Go watch.(Louis Wu 22:38:10 UTC)

RT: The saddest thing ever
i don’t know if we talked about it on the site or not, but Burnie and Jack rented out a theater to watch the National Championship game Thursday (not just any theater, THE theater). It was most likely the coolest thing either has ever done, or obviously will do. I was a bit intimidated by watching my dear sweet Alabama play with 120 UT fans, but thankfully Nathan and his wife showed up and confused everyone – taking all of the pressure off me.

AH: Bayonetta Bundle o Vids
Morning everyone,
I hope you’re ready for an onslaught of Bayonetta today. This first post contains four highly educational, yet entertaining videos. How educational? Well, I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s been talk of some of it being included in the SATs. STUDY PEOPLE. So without further adieu, I present you: Professors’ Jack and Geoff’s daily lesson plan.
This first video covers Alfheims 1-12.
And the next video covers the remaining Alfheims (13-21).
Our next video is a gripping treatise on two Achievements “Tread Not So Softly” and “Higher & Higher.”
Take a break, stretch your legs, sharpen your pencils, then dive into “Touch And It Will (Really) Hurt” and “Nice And Relaxed.”
That’s it for right now, but check back soon, because Jack and I have prepared even more Bayonetta for you.
