Fun cutscene egg
Jayshum pointed out a youtube vid showing off a pretty cool easter egg in the Epilogue cutscene of Halo 3: ODST – if you want to see it for yourself, simply hold the analogue stick you use to turn (Default is the right stick, but Southpaw is Left) as you watch the cutscene. If it’s too much work to get there again, you can watch the low-quality, filmed-off-the-screen version Jayshum linked to – or you can grab an HD version from us (QuickTime format is 6 mb, WMP9 format is 5.1 mb). Funny stuff! (There are other eggs being turned up – Crymson Nite noticed Trogdor the Burninator, among other things, and Devin Olsen pointed out a ReadyUpLive vid showing a Halo 2 egg that reappeared in Halo 3, and now ODST.)(Louis Wu 18:14:04 UTC)

Just how big is that drone?
Bry continued his work on the unmanned drone we see in Uplift Reserve – he’s added it to his size chart, comparing it to a Pelican, a Phantom, and a Longsword. Check it out!(Louis Wu 18:12:42 UTC)

Free Ts for the patient at TGS
If you were willing to wait in line (for a long time!) to play Halo 3: ODST at the Tokyo Game Show, you got a pretty cool t-shirt. Nice! (Look for some of these on eBay soon.)(Louis Wu 18:10:45 UTC)

Prepare To Drop For Piano, Alto Sax
This is the theme from the announcement trailer for Halo 3: ODST. It’s my first arrangement so I’m sorry for any mistakes/inaccuracies which there probably will be. I transcribed it using Finale notepad 2005 which doesn’t allow me to change key or time signatures in the middle of a piece so that’s why the entire thing is in 6/8 and F-minor. The sax part can be played on piano if you want, but just remember to transpose it down (the notes are A flat, G, and C in concert pitch). Feel free to fix it and change whatever you want to make it better. My YouTube account is EpicPiano and I posted a video of it there if you want to see how I played it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP3HqQ3NS5Y). The zip file includes the Finale notepad file and jpg’s of the sheet music.

RT: Choco-bored
It’s sad when you get into a rut. I know it’s hard to believe, but sometimes even Gus and I can find ourselves talking about the same things, or around the same things. Video game this, video game that… speaking of video games, I gotta go play ODST. TTYL.

Who wouldn’t wanna be that sales guy?
Adam Grumbo told us about a video from the Angry Joe Show – what better way to pick up an ODST pre-order… than as an ODST? Armor sculpted by Rube (with molding help from Adam), paint is by Adam, SMG is by Lee. Epic.(Louis Wu 17:33:42 UTC)

Wanna rent from Gamefly? No Mythic for you.
Just a warning, for Gamefly subscribers… if you rent ODST, you get only the Campaign/Firefight disc from them. (They’ll SELL you the Mythic disc, but don’t consider it a part of ODST, as far as rental goes.) Thanks to several people for reporting this – 95ss provided the official Gamefly response.(Louis Wu 17:31:46 UTC)
