Halo-verse Planetary Scale
Stephen Loftus put together a pretty cool image showing the various relative sizes of the planetary bodies we know about in the Halo universe. This is worth looking at if you’re having trouble pinning down how big, say, the Alpha 4 Halo is in comparison to Jupiter’s moons. The full-sized image is way bigger than…

SvF Ep 9 Teaser Posted
Sponsors vs Freeloaders has put up a short (36 second) teaser for Episode 9, ‘Faith, Hope, and Duality’, of their machinima series ‘Flamewar’. Their site is currently being crushed (Laird, the host, is today’s Featured User on the RvB site, and has used that position to publicize the teaser), so we’re hosting copies for them…

Rumors, Rumors, and more Rumors
Oh, not again. Gamespot’s Rumor Control has mentioned yet another viral marketing campaign, with the really, really, REALLY low-probability outcome that it’s pointing to an August 1 2006 release date for Halo 3. Go read the Gamespot writeup for details – I’m too tired of this kind of thing to bother summarizing. (It’s not clear…

Previous Commitments
Dang. All this water’s gone to my brain. Burnie posted last night that Red vs Blue Ep 64 would be up for sponsors about 12 hours ago (and for everyone else tomorrow night) – but I spaced. So if you’re a sponsor, go grab a copy. Because Andy is simply the best machinima character ever.…

GDCTV – Bungie on Networking
Very cool. Gamasutra is bringing you a streaming version of Chris Butcher and Bart House’s talk about networking that they gave at the 2005 Game Developer’s Conference. It’s technical – well, obviously, you wouldn’t give a non-technical talk at the GDC – but it’s pretty fascinating stuff for folks who want to see some of…

BSiK’s montage
Z writes to point out BSiK’s montage over at Halo2Forum.com. 70 mb. Snipey Snipey Sticky Sticky. (Halo and Halo 2 footage, combined.) Go watch.

A rare blend of pluses
Tempus Fugit points out a really positive review for Stubbs the Zombie over at 1Up.com – they felt that the ‘first non-Halo game using the Halo engine’ did a great job of living up to the strengths of its predecessor.

Stubbs reviews are starting to appear
1UP, the site that was hosting Alex’s ‘blog’ about Stubbs development, has officially reviewed the game. It’s basically a rave review for a fresh ‘strategy/action’ hybrid game that will debut for us mere mortals in just a few days. The highlights they note are really all that we’ve come to expect from Bungie/Wideload… an attention…

Poppin’ Fresh
Well, the last 12+ hours have NOT been spent on Halo-related stuff; if you’re really interested, there’s a short journal entry over at RvB. That doesn’t stop the news from rolling in, though. Frankie was first – no, wait, he WASN’T – in telling us about this week’s Weekly Update… lots of Bungie minutiae, plus…

Pinkuh Blues.
Pinkuh Blues. In a coincidental piece of timing, Stuntmutt comments on Pinkuh’s new comic series in today’s One One Se7en (just as she announces a new piece of art).

Ossifer, I swear I never saw that Elite.
Geezer Gamers did their best to determine what effect alcohol has on your Halo reflexes. Predictably, the data got a little fuzzy near the end. Thanks, 3Suns.
