We recently mentioned the latest round of Postmortem’s awesome “Visualizing the Halo Universe” community contest series, where community members provided their take on the Forerunner Capital City from Greg Bear’s Forerunner Trilogy. One particular entr…

Methew over at the Waypoint Halo Universe forums noticed a disturbingly awesome take on the Timeless One from the Halo Forerunner Trilogy by Greg Bear. If you can’t sleep after that, you might as well check out some of the original artist’s other stuff…

Nikko B201 pointed out this week’s AchievementHunter content – there’s Fails of the Weak 149 (the final fail is quite cool), both on AH.com and YouTube… and there’s another round of Halo HORSE, this time between Miles and Michael. Who will fill that…
