The Hushed Apprentice
Bones153 wants to share his Forgetacular entry with the HBO community – and as a thank-you for all the testing help and feedback he’s gotten, he’s gonna make it worth your while. Download the map, take a screenshot of yourself playing on it, and upload that to B.net, and you could win a 1600 MS Point Card. Noice! Check his post for full details – and a movie showing highlights of the map.(Louis Wu 21:11:14 UTC)

Reach – Under the Hood
Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry has done an in-depth interview with a number of Bungie employees (graphics engineer Chris Tchou, character designer Chris Opdahl, community/writer Eric Osborne, senior animation lead Richard Lico and character engineer Max Dyckhoff). It’s very, very technical – if you’re not interested in the details of how the magic happens, this might be boring to you. On the other hand, if you enjoy reading the GDC talks every year, this will be right up your alley. I have only a vague sense of what’s being talked about – but it’s FASCINATING to me. For folks who can wrap their head around the tech stuff, go read this. There are even tidbits for non-techies, though you have to dig; there’s an interesting answer from urk about why missions get cut (and why they won’t be resurrected later as DLC). This is stuff EVERY fan should know. (As a sort of bonus, there’s also a full run-through of Reach, sped up to the point where the entire game fits into a bit less than 17 minutes… weird.) Thanks, Alex Goh.(Louis Wu 16:23:24 UTC)

Have a glass of eggnog, on urk
Last night, urk posted what might be the last Bungie Weekly Update of 2010 – holidays are family time, after all! It contains news about the Forgetacular contest (judging is delayed), playlist updates if you missed them earlier this week, and a bunch of odds and ends – including bits about the Winter Pentathlon coming up in January. As always, it’s available in our Weekly Update Archive, if you need that for any reason. (No Silverlight needed there!) (Louis Wu 15:13:47 UTC)

That’s right everyone! I’m excited to report that due to popular demand, Achievement Hunter finally has it’s own shirt. Now you can show your Achievement Hunting love via this snazzy and slimming garment! Check it out here, in our online store.
Sources close to the White House are already reporting that this might just be the stimulus we need to balance the budget and pull America out of this recession.

Halo Waypoint plays Santa
In the ‘heartwarming ending to sad stories’ category, Kotaku has an article about gaming companies (including the Halo Waypoint team) providing replacement goodies for a medical center in North Carolina, where a not-very-nice person recently stole a bunch of consoles meant for kids recovering from cancer. Congrats, EA and Waypoint! And boo to the jerk who thought that child cancer patients were a decent source of free consoles. Thanks, Rolandk73.(Louis Wu 20:10:19 UTC)
