The average penis length is five and a half inches, and the average penis length of a person who Googles "average penis length" is three and a half inches.

Blitz, where are you getting these Halo facts from? Just wondering because I have the Halo art book for all three games in the series but don't remember reading about them :psyduck:

So anyway, there were many creatures cut from the game, but one of the enemies was called the Cremator. It was a Combine with an oddly shaped head and a long trench coat (back when that was the standard for the Combine,) that carried around a flamethrower and essentially fought by lighting you on fire. It was eventually cut from the game, but you can find its head in that green jar in Eli's lab.

Doctor Breen in Half-Life 2 was also supposed to be half-alien by the time you finally face him. The point was that the alien technology was supposed to be consuming him, but they settled on his human look. He was also supposed to have glasses, and although many styles were used as a test, he eventually didn't get any at all.

To add to the Halo facts, one of the leads at Bungie (I believe Jason Jones?) really wanted to put a tail on the Elites. The head artist Shi-Kai Wang, however, argued that they should look more humanoid and less like animals, and there was also the question of where their tails would go riding a vehicle. They cut the tail idea when one of the ideas presented was to simply put it between their legs.

The Jackals, however, never had a distinct style in mind, and were simply the result of drawing different creature concepts. They never really had a plan for the Jackals, not even as an enemy type, so they constantly went through many different looks.

I read too many art books

I soak up random info like a sponge, I think the Guardian Forest bit was mentioned in an issue of OXM and the Hayabusa bit was from around Halo 3's launch, don't exactly remember from where though.

I fuggin' love art books too.

The cremator didn't use a flamethrowerr, it was an acid shooting gun.

Considering the pokeball over his stomach which looked like something could be plugged in, wouldn't be surprised if he was using his own stomach acid.

You're both wrong. It was a jet of plasma. Technically close to a flamethrower.

Three Members of the Firefly cast have appeared in the Halo series in one way shape or form. They all voiced marines in Halo 3 and in ODST, Alan Tudyk voiced Mickey, Adam Baldwin voiced Dutch, and Nathan Fillion voiced Buck. Fillion's marine in Halo 3 is named Reynolds, 'cause well, you know.

What's really neat is that their characters more or less act like their Firefly counterparts, Baldwin's the heavy weapons guy, Tudyk the pilot, and Fililon in the lead. What's even better is they'll comment snarkily and quote Firefly liberally. Stuff like:
"Don't nobody cross my stream."
"Gorramnit, this not going according to plan."
"Your mama never loved ya and she dresses you funny."
"I throw like a girl!"
"Don't make me do something manly and impulsive."
"Heat in the pipe! That's what she said!"
and of course
"Bam, said the lady."

I really liked Firefly

And that was Blitz Walrus's Halo Fact of the day.

Everyone liked Firefly. The only ones who didn't like Firefly were the Fox executives who decided to axe it.

Before Half-lifes concept, Calve made concept of a game called "Prospero" that focused on Storytelling and exploration, it soon evolved into a Multiplayer game, planned to feature a massive server and map Library, hosting user created levels. This left a massive influence on Valves future workings like Half-life and Steam.

To add to the Marine thing in Halo, all the faces of the marines are all based on the team at Bungie

Rik Mayall of the Young Ones was supposed to play Peeves in the Harry Potter movies. Eventually it didn't work out. What could have been indeed.

If a tree in a forest falls and no one is there to hear it,
it will still make a sound because that's how sound waves work.

If an object has a high enough electrical charge, it's electrical field will make the air itself a conductor. Therefore, there is a limit to how much charge an object in air can have, since anything over the limit will just be absorbed by the air.
