Marathon Logo in Qatar
Schedonnardus noticed a banner that shows up on the main page of the Texas A&M University Campus in Qatar which shows a building which shows a building that contains a design that looks a lot like the Marathon logo. (This really belongs on the Marathon's Story page... but Hamish isn't really updating that any more, so I'm posting this. It doesn't mean I'm gonna post the next 50, though.)

H2Vista.net, and the Yoyorast Island Race Contest
TheGhost wrote to remind people about the Yoyorast Island Race Contest - we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, but it's since moved to a more permanent home, at H2Vista.net. TheGhost would also like to encourage anyone who is interested in Halo 2 Vista modding or map making to sign up at the forums. (Louis Wu 21:32:32 UTC) (permalink)

It also includes an offer for 20% the bench seat price in a couple of sections - if you don't have tickets yet, check this out! (Louis Wu 14:10:44 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Overload
3Suns catalogued a BOATLOAD of new content over at MLGPro.com (they should hire that guy as a PR flak) - check out his forum post for details. (Louis Wu 14:07:12 UTC) (permalink)
Halo-Battle
CupiD-082 pointed out Halo-Battle, a Halo-themed MMO-RTS based on the online game Ogame. It's being developed by French fans, so the website is currently in French - but they're planning on making the final version bilingual. Check 'em out! (In light of the recent events surrounding Halogen, we should make clear that we're not publicizing this without the permission of the crew.) (Louis Wu 13:55:46 UTC) (permalink)
Interim Roundup
While you're in a Story state of mind, swing by the Halo Story Page - Jillybean has gathered together a few of the recent baubles sent in by fans and made a pretty story necklace. Put it on! (Louis Wu 13:24:47 UTC) (permalink)
H3DA looks at GoO
The Ephorate has written up an analysis of existing info on Ghosts of Onyx in their Halo 3 Data Archive. They use it to tie GoO into Halo 3 - it's a rather extensive read, so bring your coffee mug. Thanks, ivan. (Louis Wu 13:22:20 UTC) (permalink)
I wanna know what a Leftorium is.
The Bungie Weekly Update has been posted - there is a nice description of the current state of the AI for non-player characters helping you in your warthog, there are a bunch of questions from Bungie.net forumgoers (along with answers, of course)... and there's a depiction of what Frankie would look like if drawn by Mister Chief. All I can say is... that Mister Chief is one hell of an artist - I thought I was looking at a photo. As always, if you don't feel like reading it at Bungie.net, it's available in our Weekly Update Archive. (Louis Wu 01:40:26 UTC) (permalink)
