Halo-verse Planetary Scale
Stephen Loftus put together a pretty cool image showing the various relative sizes of the planetary bodies we know about in the Halo universe. This is worth looking at if you're having trouble pinning down how big, say, the Alpha 4 Halo is in comparison to Jupiter's moons. The full-sized image is way bigger than your average monitor, so it's been broken up for navigation purposes. (Louis Wu 19:46:53 UTC) (permalink)
SvF Ep 9 Teaser Posted
Sponsors vs Freeloaders has put up a short (36 second) teaser for Episode 9, 'Faith, Hope, and Duality', of their machinima series 'Flamewar'. Their site is currently being crushed (Laird, the host, is today's Featured User on the RvB site, and has used that position to publicize the teaser), so we're hosting copies for them - you can grab the WMP9 version (4.4 mb) or the QuickTime version (4.6 mb).

Rumors, Rumors, and more Rumors
Oh, not again. Gamespot's Rumor Control has mentioned yet another viral marketing campaign, with the really, really, REALLY low-probability outcome that it's pointing to an August 1 2006 release date for Halo 3. Go read the Gamespot writeup for details - I'm too tired of this kind of thing to bother summarizing. (It's not clear to me that the viral campaign is even being run by Microsoft, yet - it's certainly not clear that Halo 3 is involved in any way - but I'd like to send a note to Microsoft's marketing department: you've mined the viral campaign vein for all the gold you're gonna get out of it. Move on.) Thanks to Black Six for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:00:50 UTC) (permalink)
