Halo 3 Cutscenes – now in HD

(That’s almost completely my…

The Cole Protocol – Available for Preorder
Simpsons Rule noticed that Amazon has The Cole Protocol available for preorder – current price is $10.17, and posted release date is November 25, 2008. Poking around a bit, though, Barnes & Noble has a listing, too – sort of. (No author, no title, just a release date of September 30 and a price of…

Scorpiowned
TJ Ramirez caught a Scorpion on Avalanche getting… buffeted. Wonder if the driver lived through that? Thanks to Urk for the mundane stuff. (If you have a Vimeo account (free), you can download the HD version at the bottom of the page. It’s worth it.)(Louis Wu 17:15:54 UTC)

Over at the newly reskinned Rampancy.net (nice work, Blackstar!), you can find a full score transcription of Finish the Fight (woodwinds/brass/percussion/choir/strings).

Concept Art – for Halo Wars?
Mrguy ran across a pretty cool piece of concept art created by Ed Lee, who worked on the Halo Graphic Novel, and Halo Wars. (Not sure where this picture fits in – I’d GUESS Halo Wars, but that could be wrong.) He found it on the Gnomon School website (where Ed is an instructor), and…
