So, why in the world 20 XP?  Well, Epic Games executive producer Rod Fergusson ran a little contest on Twitter.  Basically, the more followers that he got equaled increased XP for multiplayer during Comic-Con weekend.  He ended up with 11,000 followers which means 20 XP for us!

Here are the details:

The Seattle Times had a great article today about Halo 3: ODST.   If you don’t want to read the whole article at least check out the key points below.

• The game has more drama and mystery than before.
• Players can freely explore, an “open world” model popularized by the “Grand Theft Auto” games.
• Players who prefer traditional “Halo” can head directly to sites in the city that trigger “flashbacks,” putting them into classic “Halo”-style missions fighting aliens and blowing things up.
• There’s a lot more clue-finding and mystery-solving than you would normally find
• New multiplayer option called Firefight that’s designed to be quick and easy for small groups of friends to play on the same console or online
• Groups of four cooperatively work through sessions that may last about 30 minutes.

Well, once again Nara Grrl decided to void her warranty and play with some LED’s. This time she cracked open her Xbox 360.

The system cycles through various colors and is very pretty.

Good job Nara!  Now go rip something else apart.
