Never underestimate the power of Twitter. Thanks to everyone that emailed GameDaily and threw my name in the ring. Just to be on the same list of candidates that included Jade Raymond and Ken Levine (just to mention a few) is very humbling. Thanks to you, the community, for the passion and support that makes this all possible. Have a great Holiday all.

As you may remember, Tuesday night I went to the Child’s Play Charity Dinner Auction, which raised over a quarter-of-a-million dollars for the charity. I was sitting at a large table with Frankie and Brian from Bungie and many other gaming dignitaries, but I was most excited about who was sitting at my table directly across from me: Wil Wheaton. This is where it gets pretty funny. We had not had a chance to chat and introduce ourselves yet (dinner and the auction was underway, and it would have been rude to stand up and walk over to say hello in the middle of all of that.) The funny part is we were both twittering about the other during the auction and before we had met. (mine and his.) We finally met after the auction and had a good laugh about this.
So yea, I think that wins it for the Geekiest thing I have done this year. Hands down.
Will has his write up here. And yes, I will get him on a future show.
Edit: Kiko from Penny Arcade has posted photos from the event.
Edit: Here is a photo of the table where we were sitting. Me on the right, Wil on the left. My pensive look is me deciding if I should bid or not.

Content: Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Availability: Not available in India
Dash Text: [ESRB: M (Mature) BLOOD AND GORE,MILD LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE] The Heroic map pack contains three new maps, each presenting a totally different play style. Standoff’s symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Rat’s Nest’s vast, labyrinthine passages bring something quite new to the Halo multiplayer experience – an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge map – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.
[Details and screen shots at Bungie.net]
Edit: Frankie has posted this FAQ on the map pack, including mentioning that these maps will eventually be available for free.
