As was noted last fall, Pontiac got involved in the Halo 3 hype with a ‘First to Play’ contest, and a Halo-branded G8. Zach Mulkey points out that the website for the G8 shows off a car covered with hundreds (thousands?) of photos and movies… and some of them are Halo-related. Can you find all the Halo tidbits?(Louis Wu 20:12:52 UTC)

Over at Ascendant Justice, vociferous has begun pinning down the story told by Halo 3’s terminals. It’s rather detailed, and chock-full of interesting stuff; give it a read! While you’re there, they’ve put up a review of Crow’s Nest – including a Legendary saved film of the entire level. (They’re doing this for every level; the Sierra 117 review we mentioned last week has a saved film, too.) Thanks to Cocopjojo for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 15:43:46 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy stumbled across a pretty cool video on YouTube; Kroden35 has created a Stereo 3D movie of a Mongoose jump (on High Ground) – no glasses required. The same eye skills that let you view magic pictures will let you watch this mongoose go off a rock… in 3D. It’s pretty amazing, once your eyes adjust! Check it out.(Louis Wu 13:34:52 UTC)
