Reading over gaming news I came across this interesting article on Halo 3 and a bread-crumb trail of sorts that Bungie and Microsoft left for fans. But that's not the most interesting part: what is, the counter at the end of the trail. A counter in base 7. It skips every number containing a 7, 8, or 9 and each set resets itself to 113 each time the preceding one goes down by one.*********

I tried to log in on 6/15 afternoon, only to see that Virtue was three grey dots and unselectable. I presume it crashed? Anyone know what happened?

Way back when, during the early days when Fenspace was starting out, I tried to join in.
It didn't work (took too much cool) and I publically backed out.
However, I recently had an idea around Thionite (basically around how it might work) which I gave into today and started a short story about (and worked out most of the major characters).
However I'm not sure I haven't taken too much cool again, and the story turned out both slightly adult and potentially quite dark. It also seems to take the Boskonians in a fairly scary direction (it ups the potential threat level considerably).
Thus, before I consider posting it I felt it necessary to ask if you feel OK with potentially taking at least one area of Fenspace down this way.

I ran into these while looking for something else, as usual, and I thought they were worth sharing.
The Muppet Matrix. A little crude but worth the time.
Pulp Muppets. Some twisted genius has digitally superimposed muppet heads on all the characters in the Pulp Fiction trailer.
Pulp Fiction -- The Jedi Edition. Same soundtrack as the one above, but uses footage from the movies I through III of Star Wars. Mapping Samuel L. Jackson onto Samuel L. Jackson makes it all work, oddly.

Is it just me, or does "Lemony Snickett" sound suspiciously like "Jiminy Cricket"?

Seen on The Register: Pluto Demoted Again
But at least Pluto still has some fans:

We here at Vulture Central are staring to feel a bit sorry for Pluto, and have accordingly named it El Reg's "Most favourite non-descript orbiting object".

I should just stop talking to EML. Then I wouldn't have these moments.
I'm trying to get a Group started over on Protector (why there? I don't have any characters there and it's low-population), hero-side for the moment with tentative plans for villainous expansion if anyone cares. It's not really a supergroup per-se, as this implies a degree of altruism. These aren't superheroes, merely a collection of people with bizarre powers of the sort of mindset where running around in outrageous outfits and causing property damage are perfectly sensible. No, these people are here for one thing and one thing only. It's not fame or fortune either, though.
It's class credit.
Illuminati University.
So if you're interested, feel free to make a character on Protector and let me know. My alt for the project (Erin P. Markone, not an alien spy, no sir, not him) is near to level 6 as I write this, but I figure it won't take that much longer to get a move on.
