Visualizing the Halo Universe
From Postmortem:
For the past 8 months, Visualizing the Halo Universe has been collecting new fan artwork with the intent of fleshing out the less-seen corners of the Halo universe. What began as a contest has since evolved into a more open format for like-minded fans to share their visions with the community. Subjects have ranged from female Sangheili to Precursor orbital arches, and every three weeks a new round is posted for Halo fans to illustrate as they see fit. Each one follows a set theme, and this week Visualizing the Halo Universe has begun its tenth round, focusing on unique Flood combat forms.
Whether you’d like to participate or just want to peruse everything that’s been submitted so far, head on over to Visualizing the Halo Universe! There’s a lot to look at, and plenty more on the way!

The Halo Mole is Here!
From The Halo Mole:
Announcing The Halo Mole: the first adaptation of a reality TV show into the Halo Universe. The Halo Mole gets its inspiration from the reality TV show The Mole, which has aired in multiple countries with prize money up to one million dollars. Contestants of The Mole participate in challenges to try to earn money towards a prize pot the winner will claim, but within the group of contestants is a Mole: a traitor, a saboteur whose goal is to try to prevent the other players from gaining the money, without exposing their identity. At the end of each episode, usually after two challenges, the players take a quiz on details of the Mole. The player who answers the most questions incorrectly about the Mole is the victim of the Mole and eliminated from the competition. The last person standing is declared the winner and earns the money.
For The Halo Mole, contestants have the chance to win up to 25,000 Microsoft Points and the title of the first Halo Mole. Ten contestants will be chosen with one selected to be the Mole. People can register for The Halo Mole by going to The Halo Mole website. Our teaser is posted on the front page, along with a button for people to apply. The contest will take place two weeks after contestants are selected at the end of May. When the contest is complete, The Halo Mole YouTube series will start production to be aired approximately a month afterwards in July. We would like to see this be a huge success so please help spread the word.

Anger, Sadness and Envy 26: Marathon 1-1 Arrival
Here at Rampancy, we’ll be starting a new series on the Anger, Sadness and Envy podcast: a video Let’s Play series of Bungie’s classic science fiction shooter, Marathon, as played using the modern Aleph One engine under Mac OS X. All three games in the Marathon series (Marathon 1 and 2 by Bungie, and Marathon Infinity by Double Aught, a studio made up of Bungie alums) are available to play on Mac, Windows, and Linux from http://source.bungie.org.
We’ll also be playing with a remixed version of the Marathon music, originally written by Bungie founder Alex Seropian and remixed and remastered by JPL planetary scientist Chris Hardgrove. (We don’t talk about the music in the first episode but we’ll get to it, I promise). You can get his remix, as well as lots of other cool Marathon music-related stuff, at http://themarathonmusic.com
So, without further ado, the first level of Marathon 1: Arrival as played by Blackstar and myself.

Halo IRL: Another Day on the Job
Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise. This particular series, titled Halo in Real Life, showcases those very moments. Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!
From Joshua:
So there are these people that come to Times Square every day, dressed up as different cartoon/game characters to take photos with tourists for tips. Recently the people who do this have been getting robbed at the end of their day, so this is where this picture comes in: The police have been dressing up as our favorite hero “Master Chief” and pretending to be out taking pictures for tips just like everyone else so they have a better opportunity to bust the individuals robbing these innocent people. I find it very honorable that the NYPD is doing this and I find it EXTREMELY cool that they chose the Master Chief as the costume of choice. So there it is, my Halo IRL photo!
