Cheney 'honored' with dubious Halo 3 medal
What do you get when you fill 10 of your opponents with shotgun shells in a row without dying? A game medal named after a certain current United States Vice President and a certain quail hunt expedition gone awry. We're not sure if this Halo 3 multiplayer award will make it into the final retail game, as the laughter will probably dwindle after the 20th time you see this -- for now, we'll chortle a little and respect Bungie's sense of humor. Update: the medal has been changed to the more subtle "Open Season." [Via Xbox 360 Fanboy]
Halo 3 medal rewards players for being like Cheney [update 2]
Bungie's quirky sense of humor really shines in a newly discovered Halo 3 beta multiplayer medal. Halo 3 beta player Izequo discovered a new medal while pwning a bunch of noobs with his shotgun in High Ground. The multiplayer medal, aptly named "Cheneymania!", is earned when a player kills ten others, with a shotgun, and without dying. A feat Mr. Cheney would definitely be proud of, because we all know how experienced he is with a shotgun. Birdshot FTW!Update 1: Looks like Bungie was feeling the political heat and changed the name of the Cheneymania! medal to Shotgun Mania. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.Update 2: They changed the name again. It's now called Open Season! Thank you David.[Via Digg]
Dick Cheney's iPod takes priority
VP Dick Cheney was flying home from Baghdad last week with his iPod, when most of the outlets on Air Force II went out. The plane was filled with reporters, all lining up to charge their laptops at the few working outlets so they could get their stories ready for transmission during an upcoming refueling stop. Wouldn't you know it -- Dick Cheney's iPod needed charging at the same time. News stories or no news stories, Cheney's music took precedence. The Associated Press reported that Cheney's iPod "dominated one precious outlet for several hours." Granted, a press aide did allow a reporter to use the outlet to charge a dead laptop for 15 minutes, but then the iPod went right back into the outlet. After all, Dick needs his tunes.
