When the Official XBOX Mag decided to send one of thier guys to New Zealand to ride around in the one off Warthog reproduction from the scrapped Peter Jackson Halo film, he could hardly belive it. This thing looks pretty wicked, I can hardly get over how much the details and the paint scheme look almost rendered. It is quite an amazing piece of art. I really like the shot below you can see some of the amazing detail work.So unless this movie is actually made someday this thing is likely to just hang around as a showpiece. Shame, because it is one bad-ass vehicle.

The new Punch-Out is  billed as a “re-introduction” of the original, and is going to be fully motion controlled, in case you wouldn’t have guessed.

This pic was also featured on jalopnik.com yesterday, which led me to find this picture as well. A storm trooper in an Elise. The dark side has some serious rides.

It would appear that these images are making the rounds on the web, and here is some resulting funny business.

A 17-year-old Fairfield Twp. teen pretended to be suicidal when he became frustrated with an online video game, Fairfield Twp. police reported..

According to officials, the teen was arrested Monday, Dec. 29, for inducing panic after patrol officers and medics responded to the boy’s home in the 3000 block of Pimlico Court. The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor.

The panic? The teen had earlier approached a GM with threats of being suicidal if he did not receive some loot. Hoping the GM would be sympathetic, but rather he ended up calling the authorities. Serves the kid right.

So he gets no money, no weapons, just a court date instead. The full story is here.

Palm has debuted it’s new device today during a keynote at CES. The Palm Pre. A multi touch display phone with a 3.1 inch 320×480 resolution, EV-DO, 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, A2DP and 8 gigs of on-board flash storage. The interesting thing about the face is that the touch sensitivity runs the all the way down and around the lone silver center button occupying the front. The lower touch area is there for gestures. While a full albeit tight qwerty keyboard slides from behind the touchy display. The Phone has Texas Instruments new OMAP CPU powering their all new webOS device platform. The webOS according to Palm supplies laptop power and speed, for some fancy smooth transitions and app switching a-la a deck of cards. The phone houses a 3MP camera with LED flash, microUSB and the usual 3.5mm audio jack. Here is what to write home about: wireless charging. You read it, wireless. Place the phone on it’s charging base “the touchstone” and charge away.

Sprint will offer the phone exclusively in the first half of ‘09. Cost: no mention as of yet.

News of this device was enough to wake Palm’s stock from it’s comatose state and rise 35% today. I would say they have generated some excitement and enthusiasm.
