Transmission Episode 0 - The Prologue
FireDragon04 wrote to point out a new movie series he's starting up - it's called 'Transmission', and the Prologue is now up on his site. A prison transport ship diverts from its path to help an ally, and runs into more than it bargained for. Take a look! (Louis Wu 12:24:34 UTC) (permalink)
A Speedrunning Competition in Canada
Whoa, cool. If you're anywhere near Toronto on September 3, you should stop by the Fan Expo - dorkARMY will be hosting a Halo 2 speedrunning competition (individual and coop).

I'm gonna be a star, ma
Chron.com (the website of the Houston Chronicle) has an article (from the San Jose Mercury News, actually) about teenagers turning pro, and the worry (of their parents) that they're forsaking their education for videogames. This has been a worry of parents of aspiring pro sports athletes and moviestars for years - it's one more indication that pro gaming is entering mainstream culture.

Nylund talks to FiringSquad
FiringSquad interviewed Eric Nylund, asking him questions about his Halo novels, past and future, among other things - not a lot of new info, but a nice summary of his involvement along the way. Thanks, reprobate. (Louis Wu 11:00:49 UTC) (permalink)
The Human Entry Vehicle, Analyzed
Stephen Loftus continues to examine the details of the Haloverse for us - his latest object of study is the Human Entry Vehicle, used by ODSTs (and occasionally Spartans) to quickly reach a surface from orbit. Give it a read - lots of stats, lots of pictures! (Louis Wu 03:20:15 UTC) (permalink)
