Marissa’s Bunny: Grandma Gives Back
Marissa’s Dad told us about yet ANOTHER giveaway at Marissa’s Bunny – the winner of the last (absurd) giveaway gave back one Xbox, so you’ve got another shot at it. (She, in fact, gave away almost EVERYTHING in the prize package… but not all back to the source. Read the details here.) Anyway, you’ve got until March 30 to enter to win this; swing by and read the details.(Louis Wu 15:26:12 UTC)

8 Minutes of Awesome
ZaneZavin put together 8 Minutes of Awesome – it’s just a montage of fun clips, but the Blue flagsteal on Highlands at about 1:20 made this a must-see. (There are plenty of fun clips, and some impressive gameplay moments… but that was by far my favorite.) (Louis Wu 15:23:05 UTC)

Forget the fire… look at the smoke.
padraig08 did a little bit of interesting research – and discovered that the color of smoke emanating from a demolished warthog depends more on where that hog met its end than on what killed it. Useless, to be sure… but interesting! (Louis Wu 15:22:41 UTC)

Halo and Philosophy – coming at some point
Hedgemony brought our attention to an upcoming book called Halo and Philosophy, by Luke Cuddy – there’s a call for abstracts here, which should give you a decent idea of what the book will contain. Looks exciting! (Louis Wu 15:19:39 UTC)

The Scrutiny Might Change
Computer and Videogames has an interview with Frankie today – he’s talking about the changing of the guard, as 343 takes over management of Halo from Bungie. Will you notice the change? Well, according to Frankie, that depends on how closely you pay attention. Nice to hear that it’ll likely be seamless for most of us! Thanks, Moorpheusl9. (Louis Wu 15:19:19 UTC)

Aren’t You A Little Short For A Spartan?
Certainly an interesting find; it looks like the Tsunami Relief isn’t the only good deed the Bungie Foundation has been up to lately. Apparently, they also let a very lucky little guy get a rare glimpse of the hallowed grounds. Very cute, and very cool of Bungie to do! We’ll let you know as we learn more about the situation, but for now, give this vid a quick watch!(GrimBrother One 04:25:37 UTC)

RT: Kalazoo and Scheree win Art Contest
Kalazoo and Scheree have won the RT Revelation Art Contest! Kalazoo had a really clever interpretation of a popular Caboose line that everyone in the office really really enjoyed. Scheree had a beautiful portrayal of the last scene of the season that was really mind-blowing. We’ll be sending them autographed copies of Revelation. Thank you to everyone who participated. This was definitely the most impressive contest we’ve done. Check out all the entries here.
