Halo - Warthog Cloned, Red Vs Blue DVD-ed
Thanks to Eurogamer for their news item highlighting the similarities between Peugeot's new Hoggar concept car and Halo's Warthog buggy. The article's tongue-in-cheek disclaimer argues: "We feel sure that any similarity is entirely coincidental", and the likeness was originally brought to light by Halo machinima crew Red Vs. Blue, who have also just released the Season 1 DVD for their much-lauded machinima series, including "all episodes, PSAs, extra videos, outtakes, easter eggs and a directors commentary" - the basic episodes are also still freely downloadable in DivX/Quicktime formats for interested parties.

If they stick a roof on it, I'm all over it (It's really wet here on the west coast)
From the article on the Warthog: actually reminds this writer of the buggy from the start of Star Trek: Nemesis (which was even more clearly a Warthog rip-off!)
Star Trek Nemesis probably had those buggies built long before anyone on the team had played Halo. Nemesis released at the end of 2002, Halo released at the end of 2001. I would bet that Star Trek was filming before Halo was released.
MORTAR COMBAT!
Thats not very new. Stick to video games.
I want 2D games back.
That car kinda reminds me a little of the Porsche Cayanne for some reason. You know, minus the enclosed back and all. I think it's just the hood/front end design.
It's missing the two tow hooks though... "you see those two tow hooks there... they look like tusks!"
Oh, and I can't wait for my RvB DVD to finally freakin send! Those guys rock.
It looks more like a puma to me.
...it looks more like a Puma.
Shotgun!
I think we all know where the inspiration for the Warthog truly came from.

Strap on the magic horn!

Stars! Supernova Genisis is where all my vaporware wishing goes. I keep hoping it'll be picked up by Johnsen and Johnsen, I sense a real market for "No More Tears" software.
How much is the Gatling gun attachment, do I get unlimited ammo, and how much would a full Master Chief uniform cost me?
