Everyone inside my circle knows that my passion for the Halo series ranks amongst the highest in all the land – along with my ability to completely pwn your ass at it. Cocky? Perhaps. Don’t believe me? Look me up on xbox live: WolfTroutCobra, and lets dance.

Ok so maybe the title is a little misleading (because I’ve only played ODST for about 3 hours EDIT: After last nights marathon the total PT is up to 6 hours!1!), but so far Halo 3: ODST is well worth the *caugh* $60 *caugh* I spent on it last night. And while $60 might seem like a lot of money to spend on a video game, I try and explain it to my wife like this, “It might seem like a lot now, but think of all the money I’ll save by staying in!”

I could turn this into a typical game review and talk about how insanely awesome the “Firefight” game mode is, or how whack the new grenade throwing trajectory is, but I’m going to take another angle and talk about how rad the marketing and advertisements have been for the Halo 3 series.

Could you imagine getting a call on some random Tuesday morning from Bungie’s marketing director asking you to produce a series of live-action Halo vignettes?!? Rumor has it that Peter Jackson was actually scheduled to direct the feature length Halo movie, but the film was put on hold most likely for some bureaucratic red tape BS…

Well in typical twentyfortyone blog fashion, I have started a post acting like I’m going to go all in depth but by the end I get bored and just want to post videos and call it good. Enjoy
