Not sure if this has already been posted (and if it has been sorry) but I just found this today. It's a test drive of a real warthog. I'm not really sure what they did but it's awesome.

Frankie does a good impression of Officer Barbrady while talking to Game Informer about the Microsoft-Bungie split:
GI: Are you at all surprised by the response to this?
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has an updated story on the to-all-visible-appearances amicable Microsoft-Bungie split, including comments from Bungie studio head Harold Ryan and Microsoft's Shane Kim.
if you look closley, you can see an orange stripe around the hunters back waist area and around his neck. when the hunter has his back turned to you, shoot the orange stripe (with a pistol to make it look cooler) at the orange strip OR shoot it when the hunter turns to whack you if you hit him i9n the neck he will drop in one hit
Creativity Online interviews film director Neill Blomkamp about the promotional shorts he did for Halo 3, and in the process, finds out that the Halo movie project is a lot more dead than most fans think, and that the shorts were entirely separate, and not part of an attempt to lure Hollywood back into the project:
I need drum sheet music for [b][i]marching[/i][/b] snare drum, bass drum, and tenor aka quad drums. I need this sheet music for a drumline show we hope to perform in the spring. If you can't write these parts can you direct to anyone who would be willing to write these parts? Thanks in advance!
hey guys,
i've seen and gotten most of the sheet music as far as halo themes go, but i have a different version of the main halo 1 theme that includes a piano solo+ vocals at the end, about 3:17 into the song.
can any1 transcribe the solo for me?
if anyone thinks they'd be able to, i have the song in mp3 format for you to listen to.
message me if you can help.
Does anyone know of any other websites that have the sheet music for all the songs featured in the first Halo soundtrack?
GameSpot has a nice feature out that lets you compare in place screenshots from all three Halo games so you can see the changes in the graphics; very slick. Check it out.
I also need sheet music for all the songs from Halo 1 along with MIDI if possible. Thank you to anyone who can help in advance.
Major Nelson points out an auction to benefit charity that includes some pretty one-of-a-kind items, including an Xbox 360 autographed by Bill Gates, a Zune autographed by J Allard, and a pretty complete collection of Halo games and bonus content.
Louis Wu at HBO is right-- Halo: The Future of Gaming is one of the funniest videos, ever. It takes a few minutes to set itself up, and commits a few boo-boos in the process (in 1994 Bungie was in Chicago, not Kirkland, and Halo 1 came out in 2001, not 2002) but those are easy to forgive when the jokes start rolling.
IGN has put together a piece on the history of the Halo franchise; Louis Wu at HBO notes a few inaccuracies they've made, but if you weren't a Halo fan eight years ago you might find some of this "old stuff" interesting.
1Up is running a story to the effect that the alleged Halo film script by Alex Garland, famously referred to at Latino Review, and that I also wrote a few pieces on back in 2005, has been "recovered".
As if it had been lost.
1Up's just running a few pages of it at a time, of course.
This has to be one of the strangest Halo tie-ins. Madame Tussaud's wax museum in Las Vegas, Nevada has added a wax statue of its first videogame hero: Master Chief from Halo.
You really sort of want to know whose idea this was, and then who thought it was a good enough idea to actually do it.
Kotaku is as good a place to get the story as any; they've posted the entire official press release.
