    Halo 3: ODST (Reclaimers)

    The Covenant have badly mistranslated the few records that they have recovered, and they believe that they can follow their gods on a Great Journey. There are a few who know the truth, but they have their own agenda. That's canon to Halo, yeah, specifically the games made after Bungie left...

    Halo 3: ODST (Reclaimers)

    Hard to find a full-sized image of the Ark. It was built by the Forerunner, a civilization of the galaxy (Mostly concentrated in the Orion Arm) that vanished about 100,000 years ago. The Covenant believe that the Forerunner ascended into godhood via the Halo Array, and the Ark was the redoubt...

    I'm rather proud that I stumbled onto this fact years before Sabertooth made this video.

    Huh. That really does look like a vault suit.

    Boomstick's and shooty shooty bang bang's - The GUN Thread!

    Looks like there's a locking piece under the barrel which links the barrel to the slide. After a few millimeters of backward travel, the locking piece hits the guide rod spring and is yanked downward. So it's actually nothing like the Remington R51 locking mechanism. I'd pay good money to see a...

    Boomstick's and shooty shooty bang bang's - The GUN Thread!

    "Initially offered in 9mm" I'll hold out for the 7.62 Tokarev version. That is a very striking and beautiful pistol... but I have no idea what he's talking about here. A valve that manages raw mechanical energy, rather than gas? That kind of sounds like John Pedersen's hesitation lock from the...

    Original Fiction The Skiamancer

    I stumbled across the word "Sciamachy" while finger-walking through the dictionary one day, and that word is so badass that it stuck in my memory. I'm just surprised to see the prefix spelled with a 'k'.

    Boomstick's and shooty shooty bang bang's - The GUN Thread!

    I am reminded of the Mad Magazine spoof of Mission Impossible. "I just got stabbed through the heart! And they used a butterknife! It took hours to break skin!"

    Original Fiction The Skiamancer

    I realize that the power set and character are completely different, but every time I read "Skiamancer", my brain translated it as "The Shadow". Who knows what evil lurks in the darkest of alleys? The Skiamancer knows.

    The first one is obviously a Star Destroyer. The second one is actually pretty interesting. There's a lot of details that don't make sense, but the wraparound bridge and the shape of the hull is very very nice. If you cleaned that up, you could have a kick-ass cover for a science fiction novel.

    The rubble is exactly the same, and the background hasn't changed a bit. It's two different girls with a filter.
