    This was submitted a LOONNG time ago – but for some reason, I never got around to posting it. Last June, OdieTurbo sent along an Excel file which shows off the floorplan of the Pillar of Autumn, created in conjunction with some fan fiction. I don’t think I’d have ever considered Excel as a creation…

    Jenny Wright created this cake for her husband’s 26th birthday – it was her first try, but she hopes they’ll get better as time goes on. Tasty!(Louis Wu 18:02:16 UTC)

    We’ve had a bunch of stuff submitted to our uploads folder in the past few months that has languished, waiting for some free time to process it all; there’s no way I can get to all of it right now, but there are a few pieces I can post easily, so I’ll put those up.…

    Black Six was the first to point out a new Xbox 360 Elite Laptop from Ben Heck – he found it at Engadget. It’s Halo-newsworthy because the case design was inspired by Halo 3, and the demo movie uses Halo 3 to show off the screen. Amazing stuff!(Louis Wu 16:42:16 UTC)

    2phast let us know that there’s a new Larry the Marine comic up – I’m pretty sure there are things that should never be given to Larry. The Happy Sunshine Cannon is one of those things.(Louis Wu 16:38:44 UTC)

    Underdawg253 let us know that Etzun Films has released ‘Blank’, a new machinima with a somewhat disjointed timeline (a la ‘Memento’). I have a little trouble with the motivations, but the cinematography is pretty good. Go watch it!(Louis Wu 16:37:09 UTC)

    Sigafoos pointed out The Riot 85 – almost half an hour (10.5 mb) of community news, Rock Band discussion, and such. If you watch the video stream, you also get a pretty NSFW comedy clip.(Louis Wu 19:57:16 UTC)

    Digikid let us know that Spriggs Episode 6 is up for grabs. I gotta say… it seems like it’s getting pretty silly. Maybe I’m just having an off day, though. Watch it for yourself.(Louis Wu 17:09:46 UTC)

    IGN has posted a comparison of Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, but leaves the decision about which is a better game up to you. (God forbid you should decide you like both…)(Louis Wu 16:40:56 UTC)

    Fires7orm pointed out an Achievement generator created by GruntsRUs – but you need to sign in to use it. (If you’d rather not, he listed a few other ones on the web that require no login.)(Louis Wu 16:31:43 UTC)

    Hawty McBloggy was faced with some unexpected snow this past week, so she did what any true Halo fan would do – she built a Spartan Snowman. It comes complete with plasma grenade, spike grenade, and even a katana. (Yes, that snowman got all the achievements.) (Louis Wu 15:44:03 UTC)

    Wow. Here are some guys with ambitious goals. Grant Harrison is the vice president for the integrated consumer experience at Humana, and it’s his job to bring health information media to the masses. He knows it’s boring, and complicated. His goal? He wants health care providers to make health information and activities “entertaining.””It should be…
