    Dang, meant to get to this yesterday, forgot. Omg A Fish submitted ‘Drive-Thru’, a Tenacious D skit set to Halo, to the MPRRS – and it would have passed, except for one reviewer (who didn’t even really seem to dislike it, but gave it a dismal score anyway). It’s a tiny film (just over 6…

    Ross Mills found a UNSC Marine armor set for sale on eBay(uk). It’s not completely finished – but a bunch of it is. (I’m wondering what happened to the model’s arm…) Four days left, nobody’s bid yet.

    sonik son sent us a link that’s pretty darned tangential to Halo… but Halo IS involved, so here you go. Over at MarginalRevolution.com, there’s a blog entry about a study that compared higher prices with free shipping vs lower prices with expensive shipping to see which attracted buyers faster. (Turns out we’re stupid, and will…

    Swing by the website of the Professional Gamers League of America to read about the new H2O Federation. Instead of a series of (relatively) unrelated tournaments, they’re setting up a league, similar to the NFL, where teams will compete all season long. It was only a matter of time…
