'Halo and Philosophy' cover, release date
Back in March, Hedgemony found the abstracts for a book titled "Halo and Philosophy." According to Amazon, the 288-page book will be available next Tuesday. Also included in the listing is the book's cover. The list price is $20, but Amazon is selling it for $13.01. Update: Arithmomaniac let us know the book is shipping now (and that there's a Kindle version), and atticboy showed us a photo of the book in L.A.'s Little Tokyo. Thanks for the heads up!

Shaw, Fujikawa, Moorpheusl9...
Not really Halo news specifically, but HBO Community nonetheless. A special congrats to HBO-poster Moorpheusl9 for completing his 4-year Masters Degree in Physics. Awesome stuff, man! Feats like that deserve at least a little shout-out. Now can you get on that FTL drive please? (GrimBrother One 20:31:10 UTC) (permalink)

Fat Tony
Sqorck found a pretty cool wire sculpture of the Master Chief at Reddit - I want one for my back yard! (If you're near Sioux Falls, SD, you can see this for yourself on Phillips, between 11th and 12th. Heck - you can even buy it, if you've got an extra $14k.) (Louis Wu 14:27:03 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu: A Head Of The Game
Normalcy Week continues at Fire Team Zulu - today's challenge is, as expected, no Normal... you just have to get through Sierra 117, on Halo 3. The catch? No guns allowed. All kills have to be via skull kill! Sounds like fun. More details at FTZ. (Louis Wu 14:26:31 UTC) (permalink)
