The other day, I was trying to explain to xnera how to do a particular stretch. Instead of googling for a youtube video or actual photos, like a sane person would do, I decided I could illustrate the stretch using a stick figure.

Here’s the result:

Yes, it has alt-text. Plz to hover.

After all the hoopla over Bungie’s forthcoming E3 announcement, it got the stop from its publisher (Microsoft) and had to shelve the whole thing. Bungie went through a shitload of work, from what I could see, only to get everything stuffed by Microsoft. How much does that suck? And then, really kick Bungie in the junk, some xbox rep confirms that Bungie is working on a new Halo title. What a way to take all the glory from Bungie, especially after they went to all that trouble and build up.

GRRface, indeed.

Microsoft, via Xbox Live, has teamed up with the SciFi Channel (among others) to bring content to Xbox Live. This means BSG is available for download in a format I can watch again. And by ‘is available,’ I mean it’s already available for download on XBL Marketplace, in both standard and HD formats.

Hallelujah!

In other E3 news, Bungie has some sort of super-secret-weird-thing going on and are taunting us about it. Supposedly, the announcement of whatever it is will be made in twenty-some odd hours.

Also (not in Bungie news, as it’s not a Bungie game), Fallout 3 looked especially awesome.
