Pixellated pointed out that Pixelated Pupils (a webcomic, no relation) was celebrating its 100th episode – and nicely linked all the Halo-related episodes. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 17:54:25 UTC)

Paul Maestri points out that Halo Heads 16 is now live; a look at modders, and the reactions they engender. I’d forgotten how much I hate Monopoly!(Louis Wu 17:44:11 UTC)

Briar’s Armor Rocks.
KP dropped by our forum this morning to show off a new toy he’d picked up. Yes, you probably want one, too. No, he won’t send you this one. Yes, he’s a poopyhead.(Louis Wu 15:34:55 UTC)

Halo and the Aeneid
Interesting. The Escapist has an article up now which tries to find an entertainment medium which can be compared evenly to videogames… and ends up correlating the Master Chief to Virgil’s Aeneas. Nicely done! Thanks, Hanchen Lu.(Louis Wu 15:25:12 UTC)

The Key to Victory
Over at MLG Pro, Foulacy has taken a close look at some of the reasons why Carbon might have won in Orlando… and how they can make it happen again in the playoffs. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 23:10:30 UTC)

Chris the Hippie’s Volume 4
Z sent word of Chris the Hippie’s Volume 4, a montage that’s more AudioSlave and Foo Fighters than Halo 2. Really heavy on the effects, with (apparently) a mystery hidden within. 150 mb, WMP9 format, hosted by Halo3Forum.com. (Louis Wu 21:04:03 UTC)

Amor Omnia Vincit.
Occasionally, Stuntmutt takes a break from corn to do a public service. Usually, though, even when he’s doing a public service, he still keeps the corn in. Witness today’s One One Se7en, which is actually a love note from one fan to another. With a side helping of corn.(Louis Wu 17:53:12 UTC)

Josh found a Halo reference in an old episode of F@NB0Y$ – there’s no date on it, but I’d guess it was sometime back in May. Gotta love the 360 fangirl…(Louis Wu 17:17:51 UTC)

Blast from the past
What if Halo was an RTS? Or a third-person shooter? Or it had 32 weapons, different vehicles, and you could ride a lizard? Well it used to be all of these things. Check out this look back at early builds of Halo with naaration by some Bungie guys. They go through and name the vehicles and weapons too, like the “gravity wrench” (pictured), the speargun, the alien rocket launcher, the “stealth tank,” the “horseshoe crab” and more.

Halo Scale Comparison Updated
Stephen Loftus has updated his Halo Scale Comparison article; the beginning of it hasn’t changed, but if you scroll down near the bottom of the page, you’ll find an entirely new scale navigation system. Starting with the Halo itself, you can drill down through the various constructs in the game and compare them with like-sized items. He’s added dozens of items to the charts; go explore! (In a totally coincidental but rather fortuitous bit of timing, In_Amber_Clad just happened to ask about this info this morning; if you have questions or comments, this thread is a fine place to put them.)(Louis Wu 13:34:48 UTC)

Product review: Sumo Omni gaming chair
Recently I got the opportunity to sit on a sumo all weekend and tell you all about it. Somehow that doesn’t sound right. Anyway I got to try out this sweet gaming chair from Sumo Lounge and here’s my review on how this not so little number holds up to the rigors of hardcore gaming sessions. What happens when you spill red bull on it? Does it double as a loveseat? And the big question: does it come with the girl in the picture?? Read on to find out…
Naptime
I got this puppy in a giant box that looked like it had a refridgerator in it. I opened it up, threw it on the ground, and promptly went to sleep on it. Fortunately it was much more comfortable than sleeping on a fridge. The beans inside conform to your body and while they are pretty rigid when you’re settled in, it is ultra comfy because it matches all your curves.
My buddy Jordi demonstrating proper napping technique.
Tough as Ahnuld
This is no ordinary Wal-Mart bean bag. It’s made of tough nylon, so it will repel spills, won’t break or tear, and has a nice smooth finish. So if you pee your pants watching the next Halo 3 trailer, you’re all set. The seams actually extend beyond the bag and are really tough so you won’t have to worry about it tearing either. Plus there’s a velcro part in one area in case you want to stuff it with pop rocks and coke.
The contortionist chair
You can use this chair in all kinds of positions. That didn’t sound right either. Anyway you can sit on it without a back, lay down on your side, lay down like a futon, or smoosh it down so it’s all curved around your back and gives you a nice headrest. Plus you can sit two people on it and make it a loveseat.
Jordi propping up his head after a lot of root beer.
Conclusion? Sumo chair kicks arse
All in all I give this chair two thumbs up. It’s durable, comfortable, you can sleep on it or sit on it with a backrest, and it even looks cool which is saying a lot for a bean bag chair. They even sell entire “lounges” complete with a footrest in the center. So if you need a comfy gaming chair, be sure to check them out at sumolounge.com.
If you’re going to have 2 people on one of these, one of them should be a girl.
