Bungie’s mark on SIGGRAPH
Yesterday, we mentioned a company that was using Halo to promote its 3D printer at SIGGRAPH – today, necro2607 stopped in to say that he’d been AT the show, and took his own pictures. (Love the mini-helmets!) He also found Bungie in the Job Fair area, and picked up some pretty slick schwag… go look! (Louis Wu 18:04:01 UTC)

Ghosts And Glass For Piano
This is my transcription of Ghosts and Glass from Halo: Reach OST.
It was arranged by Genesis Bacani (gbacani on youtube). I made some changes to his version according to a piano only .mp3 file at B.net.
But take in count that this is my first transcription ever, so it may not be perfect, feel free to revise it.
This ZIP file contains a PDF and a MIDI.
EDIT:
I just checked again the piano only mp3 at B.net, it is very different to this one in some parts, Genesis used the string sounds as the chords, but in the piano only is not like that. If i get time, i will revise the sheet music.
EDIT 2:
There is now an updated version of the sheets and the MIDI.
A week ago i was checking these sheets and i noticed some abomination i caused while transcribing the song… So there you go the new updated sheets.
BTW, the MIDI file has now the right hand and left hand parts separated, this means that if you have Synthesia you can choose which hand you want to play, and they have different colors for distinction.
Enjoy!

The Halo Bulletin – August 10, 2011
The latest Halo Bulletin went up on Halo Waypoint last night – unsurprisingly, the biggest topic of discussion is Halo Fest, coming up in two weeks at PAX. There’s a calendar of panels (if you go to all of them, you’re going to have trouble seeing the REST of PAX), tournaments, and teasers about a private Halo party you might or might not be able to get into. Go read it! (As always, there’s a copy in our Halo Bulletin Archive, as well.)(Louis Wu 14:45:27 UTC)

The power behind the thrones
According to InvestorPlace, both Microsoft and Activision have fates that are tied to Bungie – MS because the Halo franchise is critical to the future success of the Xbox, and Activision because of what’s coming next. It’s good to see Bungie being recognized for their key position in the industry! (When I think of Halo’s future – I think of Leviathan. How about you?) (Louis Wu 21:07:54 UTC)
