A Clay Sculpture You Must See
A couple of days ago, a Halo fan from China posted a bunch of pictures over at High Impact Halo. They don’t normally post news about fan creations – so Amaroq shot us a heads-up, and I contacted the artist. He gave me permission to put these pics up here, in a format that might…

Dual Tage Pooh and KSP
KSP SRT and |X|POOHBEAR|X| put together a dual montage – the MPRRS liked it a lot, and with good reason; solid gameplay and nice timing. Lots of BR action, lots of great grenade placement, plenty of multisnipes. 7 and a half minutes long, just over 100 mb in either WMP9 or QuickTime format – go…

So Hawaii’s first?
It’s been a busy few days; there’ve been some recent forum tidbits that got glossed over, but are worth a look. First up: Pixellated stumbled across a site devoted to lenticular clouds that contained an image that was really familiar! (Unfortunately, the larger version on the original site is no longer there.)(Louis Wu 13:54:35 UTC)

There’s a record for it on Amazon, and a record at ISBNdb.com. Official word from Bungie…
