Star Fell Release Date Trailer
FireDragon04 let us know that the Star Fell Release Date Trailer (wait, what? You need a trailer to announce a release date? I think there's going to be a Star Fell Thursday Lunch Trailer coming next week) is up on YouTube - go watch! (Louis Wu 17:36:31 UTC) (permalink) 
Fan's eye catches out-of-place props
Rather bizarre - over at NeoGAF, DoctorWho explained how he was watching an interview with John Rosengrant, the 'Head Monster Maker' on the crew of 1987's 'Monster Squad', and saw some really odd props in the background. Monster Squad's 20th Anniversary Edition was just reissued last week on Blu-Ray - according to this review, there are no Blu-Ray-exlusive features, so this interview was filmed in 2007. So... was John Rosengrant working on the Halo movie (at that point not quite as shelved as it is today) in 2007? Hmm... (Louis Wu 16:27:43 UTC) (permalink) 
No Monks Allowed - Winner Announced ODST Valsher (who goes by Vandle Valsher on our forum) won the 'No Monks Allowed' contest we ran last week - apologies for the delay in announcing a winner. (Things have been a bit... insane around here recently.) Congrats to VV, and thanks to everyone for participating! And thanks, of course, to Domino Theory, for continuing to supply cool toys for the readers of HBO! (Louis Wu 16:06:17 UTC) (permalink)

Halo Marathon for Money and Fame
Three guys in Edmonton (CA) put in a 40-hour Halo marathon - they were trying to beat the Guinness world record for consecutive hours on a first-person shooter, and they were trying to raise money for a local hospital. They did both (though they still have to verify with the Guinness folks) - $1300 for the hospital and 16 hours past the old record. Nice work! Thanks, rhubarb.
