Cheneymania Gets Blasted

When the Bungie game studio isn't making gamers salivate with images from their newest Halo game, they're creating hilarity within the beta version of the game.

Early beta testers discovered a hilarious medal while playing the game. When a player gets 10 kills in a row with the shotgun without being killed -- they get the "Cheneymania" medal added to their achievements! The medal is a reference to the February, 2006 incident in which the aim-challenged Vice President accidentally shot a friend in the face while quail hunting. Doh!

Unfortunately, Bungie has already renamed the medal "Open Season," much to the dismay of Halo gamers and bird hunters everywhere.
