Along with the usual picture and short comment we get in the middle of the week on Hunt the Truth, this week there's an article on the glassed planet Ben went to (Bliss), some additional details about how it and glassed planets in general are treated, and his thoughts and feelings on them.
I like it. It has some good details, they're delivered pretty well, the style fits with Ben's style from the audio entries, and there's some moderately deep thinkin' about the whole affair. Now that I've said that, here are the nitpicks. The actual title is "From Manikata to Site #1774: The Silicate Industry and the Profits of Tragedy on the Outskirts", which sounds more like a term paper than something you'd find in a magazine or blog, and the title as far as the site is concerned is "BENJAMIN_GIRAUD_ENTRY_0384", which is put over the other title in bigger letters and is even worse. I think he makes a bit of a jump, especially if you don't take all of his audio logs into account, in the way and degree that he sides with the people who want to separate from the UNSC and UEG, going so far as to imply armed conflict might be good and/or the natural end result. I'm also not fond of them using "BXR Mining Corporation" like this-- it's a good easter-eggy name in the games and kind of cool to see referenced elsewhere, but for the first half of the article or so I couldn't really take it seriously because I kept thinking "get BXR'd noob!" and the like. Aside from those, I think it's a solid if small entry to the textual canon.
