Halo 4 – 117 (Part 1)
Firstly, credit to Jafetator, for his aid.
Nonetheless, here is some rudimentary sheet music for the first half of the Halo 4 song “117.” I hope you guys enjoy it!
I have a midi here and the Muse Score file (along with the pdf).
When I finish the whole song, I’ll have more accents and the such where needed. If anyone has anything to contribute, don’t hesitate!MR
P.S.: Does anyone know what’s up with what looks like Russian-clothing spam on the website?

Nightline: Making of Hottest New Xbox Game
Last night’s Nightline (on ABC) contained a 5+ minute piece on Halo 4 – it focused on Studio Head Bonnie Ross (and so touched on the subject of women in the video game industry), but centered around the idea of video games as the new media blockbusters. Nice to see high-profile press like this! Thanks, jay mee (who found the text-based article summarizing the piece). (Louis Wu 16:30:51 UTC)

Fan-made trailers, from a pair of creators
CMNeir put together a new trailer for Halo 4 – see what you think! Be warned – there’s material in here that could be considered spoiler-ish. (Halo Waypoint posted one created by LukeRitson on Thursday – compare ’em! It’s as if both guys thought the same clips were critical… except one was released two weeks before the other.)(Louis Wu 16:29:59 UTC)

It’s Podcast Friday again!- Robowski sent word that Post Game Carnage Report 138 is now live (it’s full of Halo 4 impressions, among other things). The big news is that they’ve joined All Games Network – they were live there last night at 10 EST/7 PST. Nice! (Sorry for the belated news.)

- Woaf sent word that Dust and Echoes has released Episode 28 – it’s a campaign spoilercast! They’re focusing on Halo 4’s Campaign – if you don’t want spoilers yet, hold off!
I always find it odd when a whole bunch of Halo-related podcasts line up like this – but hey, it’s Halo! Go listen. (Louis Wu 18:51:40 UTC)
