Just wanted to chime in quickly with a personal gaming milestone I'm quite proud of. In a game I can only describe as painfully nail biting I managed to grab myself the Vidmaster Endure achievement in ODST. Marking my final Vidmaster achievement and unlocking the coveted and until recently almost impossible to obtain Recon armour. I have met a surprisingly large number of people who have the same general goal as I do, ring dry every once of enjoyment and challenge from the current Halo games before Reach releases. If you wanted to get back into coop, multiplayer or Firefight on Halo 3 or Halo ODST, now is definitely the time to do so.

That's me in the pic above wearing the infamous armour. Squeeee!

This isn't the end of my Halo Challenge though, I have a handful of quite tricky achievements left to get, including the horrible Running the Show achievement in Halo Wars that will take roughly 14 hours of solid multiplayer to unlock. Not to mention the fact I have less than two months left to get these all done. But at least I can take a moment to bask in the joy of owning Recon, the definitive Halo tragic badge of honour.
