Summer Mythic Recon Challenge
Posted by urk at 6/12/2009 9:00 AM PDT
The Tyrant returns to give you a rules reminder.  If you want to participate in his Summer Mythic Recon Challenge, read the rules below and follow the rules.  Don't forget to follow the rules!

"It's Friday, folks, and you know what that means! Crank out those skulls and start plowing through Mythic Difficulty in order to gain access to Recon Armor. Part 1 of this challenge (the first of 10) starts today and ends next Thursday evening. For a quick recap, your mission is to beat Floodgate on Mythic Difficulty (Legendary + all 13 skulls activated + plus FFA scoring on). You'll be flying solo for this one. No co-op allowed. From there, how you beat it is up to you whether you choose to "pro" your way through by skipping as much of the mission as possible or shoot your way out. Please read ALL of the rules and Frequently Asked Questions HERE first before attempting the run or submitting an entry. I'll say it one more time just to be sure I'm clear. Read ALL of the rules thoroughly before entering the challenge.

Many of you have already submitted your entries and have done it correctly down to the letter. I tip my hat to you, good sirs and madams! You deserve a cookie and a gold star. However, a small army of players missed the small notation (more like entire paragraph) in the last article stating to only play and submit the mission between the dates of June 12th and June 18th. To put it bluntly, your entries were deleted. It wouldn't be fair to the people who are doing it correctly to give the rest of you extra time. However, even though you made a mistake, I'm willing to let you play the mission again and re-submit your new entry. I encourage you to read all of the rules (third reminder now) before going forward.

When you've completed your mission online successfully, upload it to your file share, make sure it's in your Game History, and send me (Tyrant122312) a Private Message over Bungie.net with a hyperlink to your film. How do you hyperlink? Use the following format: [url]insert link here[/url] If this isn't done correctly, your entry will be discarded. Don't worry about tagging it. Just included the words "Mythic Difficulty" somewhere in the description.

If you have questions that are NOT covered in the FAQ (see, I did it again), please use the official contest discussion thread for contest related questions, and use the Mythic Difficulty thread for questions regarding Mythic Difficulty. Please do not contact me with questions via Bungie.net private messaging or Xbox Live messaging/Friend Requests. They will be disregarded. Just a fair heads up.

RULES (just for fun) ;)

Best of luck goes out to all participants, and happy campaigning!"

Where's Mah Dooble EXP?! 

Posted by urk at 9/2/2010 5:52 PM PDT

Fix your -blam!-, Bungle!

So, yeah, This week's Double EXP Weekend is running a little behind. I blame Ninja 0n Fire. (He tells me that some fairly large updates are being deployed and as a result, we'll likely not see the Double EXP Weekend go live until tomorrow, or, *gulp* "later").

When it is ready to go, we'll let you know.

Feet first into awesome.

Looks like ubald unleashed another render over at HBO. This one's a WIP and part of a much larger collection that will ultimately serve as a webcomic. But you should check it out now.

Top 10 Halo 3 Kills on The Pit: Episode 59 

Posted by urk at 8/30/2010 9:00 AM PDT

You know the deal.

Anoj didn't submit his latest entry to Comm Chatter, but they gang at HBO picked up the slack. Besides, even without Anoj's familiar wordplay, we all know what this video's about anyway. There's like ten kills. You can submit your own for next week if you're astute enough to figure out how to make it happen.
