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…

MLG LA Event Coverage at Team3D.net
This came in yesterday, but… well, it’s been a tough weekend here. F13ND is covering MLG LA over at Team3D.net – you can swing by for interviews, preliminary results, and more!

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.

Preyfar – now well-protected
Pinkuh stopped by our forum last night to show off another slick piece of work; a fan had commissioned her to put his furry alter-ego (a blue hyena) into Spartan armor, and she did a wonderful job. Check it out – and be sure to browse through the rest of her Halo-related works in her…

DoA4 Character Revealed
Well, clearly the big Halo news in the past 12 hours is the fact that the latest issue of Game Informer magazine contains an article about the Halo character included in Dead or Alive 4. Her designation is Spartan 458, and the magazine article shows that the Mjolnir armor looks pretty good with Xbox360 graphics.…

Hump Day is back!
Bungie’s Halo Humpday Challenge has been on sabbatical for a while – but it’s back, and written up as a new Top Story at Bungie.net. They didn’t have any particular foes – they simply went up against random teams in the Team Snipers playlist on XBL’s Matchmaking. They walked away with 2 out of three…
