AROUND THE NET (11/18/2015): A Halo’s Destiny Fades

Here at Sci-Fi Bloggers, we run a lot of individual pieces on the site, each of them revolving around and focusing on a specific topic. Sometimes, however, we like to crank it up a notch and take a look at a whole lot at once. With that said, we invite you to follow us as we take a look at what’s happening…AROUND THE NET!
