Featured On The Spruz Homepage |

Congratulations, everybody! We were on the front page of Spruz today as one of their Featured Websites!!

Hahaha... And even the first of the six! ^.^ We are awesome.
Because of this, we had about two dozen guests show up throughout the day, but unfortunately no recruits...
Actually, we have been on the Featured Websites list since the 25th or
sooner, but I just noticed it (I know because you can see the shout
box, and by zooming on it, I was able to tell that it included: "I put that too ", but the rest was illegible. I remember this from
discussion on the poll we had before about the relationship stuff, and
the shouts that are shown now go back until the 25th, so I don't know
if it was on the 25th or the 24th.
Amazingly, we are still on it now... Oh and also the banner and header
still say Before Halo Wars, instead of The Eighth Column like they do
now.
EDIT: Nevermind, they just changed the Featured Websites at 7:00 PM Eastern time (which is midnight for Western European time, which is GMT/UTC +/- 0)

Halo Wars Achievements |

The achievements for Halo Wars have been officially released. There are a total of fifty of them, including five secret achievements. Looking through them can shed a little light on the upcoming game, so I suggest you read through them.
There are twenty-five achievements directly linked to Campaign gameplay, so make sure you play through it at least once if you plan on getting at least the majority of the achievements possible. Also, there are ten that are specifically for Skirmishes, and another ten that would be in the 'others' category, including the 'kill an opponent's last unit with one of the six major leader powers' one and the ones related to finding skulls, unlocking timeline events, ranking up on XBL, getting an overall 100%, and playing the game for over 24 hours total.
For a comprehensive listing, you can go here. You can also go to the HWF thread to see what everyone is talking about, such as the controversal Mission 13 achievement for destroying five enemies with a scarab, even though Ensemble has said that you can't be the Covenant in the Campaign.

Bungie Weekly Update: 12/26/08 |

Nothing incredibly detailed this week. All there is to be found in this week's update is concept art. specifically, twenty-nine pieces of Halo 3: ODST concept art that Bungie is using to replace an informational weekly update. Oh, well, some of them are interesting and can get you thinking.
Unfortunately, to get any of you thinking you need to go here first. Otherwise, it just doesn't happen much anymore. This is because everyone is so busy playing with their new toys and various other Christmas goodies to post anything on this site anymore, while I am stuck here being impatient and everything due to my Xbox having not come back from Microsoft yet, and my brothers hogging the new Wii that we got for Christmas. Yes, we get a Wii. Believe it. However, we got a single game for it... and it sucks... and it is called Animal Crossing: City Folk... and it sucks... badly...
