Now where the heck is my grunt plushie?
As below, the American International Toy Fair started today, and pictures of the Halo figures on display are already hitting the web. There's a nice collection at Figures.com, including several Halo figures on this and the next few pages (use the "2", "3", and "4" links at the bottom). Thanks to Spartan ][ for noticing this.

Brian Morden will now frogblast the ventcore
It is with a heavy heart that we here at BORG announce that Brian Morden, aka Ar-Isildur, died at 5:55AM. He was 19 years old. His younger brother, Jamin, posted a note on our forum telling us the sad news. Please reply with good thoughts.
I and a few others have actually met Brian in person, and I feel privileged to have been in the company of someone that was both a lover and a fighter. Brian shocked his doctors by fighting the cancer that was eating through his body to the bitter end. Yet through out it all, his love for his friends and family never faltered, and we never failed to give it right back to him.
You didn't have to meet him in person to see what a great guy he is. Just do a search through the forum's archive for his posts. You will see that we have lost a warm and decent human being.
For the man that popularized "<3", it is only fitting that he stayed with his family and friends through Valentine's Day. Brian was no fool.
There will be more from us here at BORG. Count on it.

Upon request from the publisher, we've removed all Electronic Gaming Monthly articles from our Press Scans section. We apologize to EGM for violating their copyright (we were under the impression that we had at least a tacit okay for this, based on communications with EGM personnel), and we apologize to anyone inconvenienced by the removal of this information.
