    Saw a note over at Bungie.net that they’re going to start highlighting community artwork. This isn’t supposed to eat into existing art outlets around the community; if you’re highlighting your wares on a specific website already (like this one), this should be considered a bonus, not a replacement.

    Wow. Stephen Loftus has been known for a while as someone who goes to great lengths to measure the Bungie Haloverse. Recently, he sent two images to be attached to his Scale Comparison article (a UNSC Weaponry Scale Chart and a Covenant Weaponry Scale Chart – these are both recreations of existing images, but with…

    Today’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer had a great article about voice actors, and how this niche is definitely expanding the options open to actors out there, especially in areas with high needs in the voice-acting arenas. Halo features prominently.(Louis Wu 20:44:23 UTC)

    A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned the machinima project ‘Terminal Dogs’ – it was being hosted on machinima.com and YouTube. I guess Krad Productions wanted to widen the viewership, because they submitted the film to the MPRRS – and the reviewers liked it. We’re hosting a WMP9 version (24.7 mb) and a QuickTime version…
