20 Sides of Nerd: Futon Computing
Marissa's Dad, of Marissa's Bunny fame (have you visited recently?), recently had Halcylon (once of the Hawty McBloggy forums, now working for Bungie) on the 20 Sides of Nerd podcast - interesting discussion! Go listen. (If you want to hear the rest of the podcasts in the series, you can find the full list on iTunes.) (Louis Wu 20:55:21 UTC)

Marissa's Bunny: Grandma Gives Back
Marissa's Dad told us about yet ANOTHER giveaway at Marissa's Bunny - the winner of the last (absurd) giveaway gave back one Xbox, so you've got another shot at it. (She, in fact, gave away almost EVERYTHING in the prize package... but not all back to the source. Read the details here.) Anyway, you've got until March 30 to enter to win this; swing by and read the details. (Louis Wu 15:26:12 UTC)

Huge Reach-themed giveaway at Marissa's Bunny
Marissa's Dad sent word of another Reach Console giveaway at Marissa's Bunny, the site devoted to raising awareness for Infantile Spasms. This one's pretty massive - the winner will walk away with a Reach Special Edition xBox 360 Slim, a Kinect unit, a copy of the Reach Legendary Edition, and a $500 Gamestop gift card. Wonga. To be entered, you have to vote for the blog and let them know (read the instructions for full details). You can also get extra entries by letting them know what you'd do with the card. Not bad! This one runs for two weeks (it started a couple of days ago) - what do you have to lose? (While you're there, be sure to learn a little something about Marissa's disease, and consider dropping something in the hat.) (Louis Wu 02:59:20 UTC)

Fighting with Fairfax
Gaming4Others' kilaM0Mjaro dropped us a line to announce a Halo Reach tournament being hosted with the Spirits of Fire community: "Fighting with Fairfax: Marissa's Bunny outREACH Tournament". The tourney will take place on December 4th and 5th, will have 2v2 and 4v4 Slayer events, and will raise money to support Infantile Spasms (check Marissa's Bunny for more info).

Marissa's Bunny Reach Console Giveaway
Marissa's Bunny, the site set up to raise awareness for Infantile Spasms, has a new giveaway that might be of interest to Halo fans (heh): they're offering a Halo: Reach Xbox 360 console. The generous donor who provided the box asks that you remember that Marissa's fundraiser is still going; there's no requirement to enter, but you should consider it. There are multiple ways to enter; they're all listed on the contest's info page. Go see about getting yourself one of these puppies... for free! (Louis Wu 17:37:06 UTC)

Reach Review/Giveway from Marissa's Bunny
We're not generally posting individual Reach reviews, but sometimes we make an exception. Here's one. Marissa's Dad (you might remember Marissa's Bunny, sent around the world to raise awareness for Infantile Spasms) looked at Reach from the standpoint of an older gamer, one who's been a fan of Bungie games since Pathways into Darkness. Why him? Well, because the review is also an excuse to give away a copy of the game, and this is your heads-up to go enter. (While you're there, you might want to check out this much more serious page - Marissa's going in for some pretty expensive surgery soon, and while insurance will cover a huge percentage of it, they're still on the hook for nearly $30,000... anything you could spare would be helpful.)

Win RAM, Help Marissa
It's not strictly Halo-related... but it's a cause that's near and dear to our hearts, and it's a chance for you to walk away with $250 worth of Crucial RAM. Marissa's Bunny is a blog devoted to raising awareness for a condition called 'Infantile Spasms' - we've posted pictures in the past of Fairfax the Bunny participating in all sorts of Halo-related activities. (Check our news archive for details, if this isn't ringing a bell.) Well, we got word from Marissa's dad Mike - they've got a new giveaway going on, and you could win up to $250 in Crucial RAM, simply by visiting the blog and leaving a note. (Full details are in the 'Giveaway The Third' blog post.) So what are you waiting for? Go enter! (Louis Wu 14:38:52 UTC)

Buy the Book.
It's not Halo-related, but it benefits a friend of ours, and it's an awesome gift in its own right... swing by Hawty McBloggy's to learn how you can buy 'A Gamer's Alphabet', a book created by Marissa's dad (the guy behind Marissa's Bunny), and not only get your friends something cool for the holidays, but raise money to help awareness of Infantile Spasms. Thanks, angel! (Louis Wu 03:31:27 UTC)

Fundfax Fairraiser - ENDING TONIGHT
Due to some unforeseen (and VERY unfair to Hawty) circumstances, the Fundfax Fairraiser (the fundraiser Hawty McBloggy set up for Marissa's Bunny) is ending quite early - tonight, at midnight, in fact. You've got just under 9 hours to buy some virtual raffle tickets, and make a difference in a little girl's life, and maybe win yourself some super-cool schwag. If you were planning on participating, but hadn't gotten to it yet (it was, after all, supposed to run through July 7)... now's the time. Sorry for the short notice! (Louis Wu 22:26:48 UTC)

Marissa needs your help!
You might remember Marissa's Bunny - Fairfax has been traveling around the US, raising awareness about Marissa's illness, infantile spasms. We recently got word from Marissa's dad that Marissa is back in the hospital - her spasms are out of control. He's hoping that anyone who can send along kind wishes will do so - in his words, "Perhaps the combined goodwill of the internet at large can help, because nothing else seems to be." Mike - we're with ya! There are lots of ways to help - from donating money or buying a bunny to simply emailing Marissa with your happy thoughts. Swing by the Marissa's Bunny website for lots of links. (Louis Wu 20:55:50 UTC)

Bungie Weekly Update: ODSTs, Rabbits, and Teases, Oh My!
Bungie posted their Weekly Update as the workday came to a close last night... it's a fun read. There's a writeup on the ODST, the star of their upcoming expansion project - go learn more about him, and what he is capable of! There's also a series of great shots with Fairfax, Marissa's Bunny - that rabbit is getting EVERYWHERE! And finally, there's a warning that next week's update will be nonexistent, owing to the holiday - but that there'll be interesting stuff earlier in the week to make you smile. Go read! (As always, it's also available in our Weekly Update Archive, if that's more appealing to you.) (Louis Wu 12:52:57 UTC)

Fairfax 'n' the Chief
Wow... I'm floored. Hawty McBloggy enlisted the help of a LOT of friends to create an amazing montage of pictures showing off Fairfax the Bunny in a variety of Halo-related situations. Photoshop for the win! Fairfax is Marissa's Bunny, and he's out there to build awareness for infantile spasms - Hawty has shown that when a good cause is on the line, the Halo community can really step up. Check out the pics, leave your comments in the thread, and then visit Marissa's Bunny's page and see how you can help! (Louis Wu 18:06:22 UTC)

Marissa's Bunny - jammin' with the Spartans
Remember when Fairfax the Bunny showed up here? Fairfax is Marissa's Bunny - he travels around the world, making people happy and building awareness for Marissa's infantile spasms. (He's got a whole website - you should visit it, if you hadn't before.) When Fairfax left here, he headed north, to Boston. Where he hung for a while - I guess nico's apartment is just a really comfortable place. But he's on the move again... recently, he arrived at the digs of Hawty McBloggy, and last night, the first pics emerged (thanks to geophf for the heads-up). Apparently, there'll be more as the week goes on. Keep an eye on this adorable bunny, and his antics; not only can he make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, he can help you realize the plight of Marissa. Don't forget to check his website, as well, for details on what you can do to help. (Louis Wu 14:56:18 UTC)

Marissa's Bunny - Time to Say Goodbye
I think Fairfax's visit to HBO Headquarters is nearing its end. (It started here, and was followed up here.) He tried to tour the Yale campus (since it's pretty much right next door)... but it just wouldn't stop raining! While he waited, he explored a local brew pub... and I gotta say, once he was finished in there, the rain was irrelevant. When Fairfax wakes up, I'm gonna have to send him to someone else. If you smiled at all following him around the office, you should visit the Marissa's Bunny website, and see what you can do to help out! We're gonna miss the little guy... but really, I think I saw enough of the dark side of plush toys tonight. (Louis Wu 01:59:22 UTC)

Fairfax gets some gaming in
He hasn't left the house yet, but Fairfax (Marissa's Bunny) has been getting his Halo 3 game on. First he tried on some helmets (he skipped the one that was OBVIOUSLY too big), then decided he'd just play some Halo 3. (Check out those slick A40s!) Follow his latest exploits in the gallery we set up for him! (Louis Wu 14:45:51 UTC)

Marissa's Bunny: Fairfax Visits HBO
If you were at PAX this year, or followed PAX coverage, you might know about Marissa's Bunny; he RickRolled the crowd at the Jonathan Coulton concert, for example (5:41 in). Marissa is a baby girl who was diagnosed with infantile spasms last winter. Her father decided to raise awareness for the disease by sending Fairfax (a shared name for a small set of fluffy bunnies) around the world, as an ambassador of hope. Fairfax arrived at HBO Headquarters this afternoon, and wasted no time preparing for a game of Grifball - over the next few days, we should have some other pictures of Fairfax to share, but for now, you might consider visiting Marissa's page, and seeing if there's anything you feel like contributing (time, money, hugs... whatever you've got). The current treatment for the disease is horrendously expensive, mostly because so few people are diagnosed with the disease... but it's unclear whether that's because incidence is low, or because pediatricians are missing it. (Louis Wu 20:02:56 UTC)
