Halo Bulletin – and Return of the Forerunners
The Halo Waypoint Bulletin went live last night – there’s good stuff on upcoming community maps we may see in Reach’s Matchmaking hoppers, an interview with some of the mapmakers, and tidbits about upcoming events – but the big news was a new Behind The Scenes video, this one focused on The Forerunners. Go read the Bulletin (either at Halo: Waypoint or here, in our Halo Bulletin Archive), and then watch the video. You can even download a high-quality WMV from the Xbox Press senter (just under 400 mb). Tons of new campaign footage, tons of Promethean weapons… good stuff. Miss it only if you’re staying dark!(Louis Wu 14:47:41 UTC)

M12 – Favorite Alternative Vehicle
The very cool car-culture blog Jalopnik ran a feature today discussing the Top 10 Cars You Can Only Drive in Video Games. As a car guy myself, I enjoyed reading through the list, which showcased mainly “conventional” – albeit still awesome – cars that were typically original creations in games like Gran Turismo and Crusin’ USA… until I got to the top spot on the list. Considering we’re posting about it here, can you guess what it was? Go look!(GrimBrother One 21:58:39 UTC)
