Halo press around the net
First off, let me get some of the press out of the way. There's a LOT of it. (Surprise, surprise.) I've broken things into categories; I'm sure there's stuff I missed, and I'm also sure that some things are duplicated (many articles are syndicated, and picked up by other sites; occasionally, they're not properly marked, and I miss a dupe... live with it). There are hundreds of articles I DIDN'T include - I'm not sure how many more of these I'm willing to do, so the day might come when we just have to say 'everyone's writing about this' and be done with it. Also, the order is somewhat random - it's the order things came in to me. This SHOULD help make the list more palatable, actually - you won't be reading the same thing over and over again. Anyway, on to the articles:
