WHB Chorus sings Chocolate Rain

It was brought to my attention that I would find this video on YouTube. It’s the Westhampton Beach Chorus singing Tay Zonday’s “Chocolate Rain” with the Library’s own Dominic Pesce playing the piano!

Halo 3 Now In Stores! & Halo 1 Tournament Sat. Sept. 29th @ 5:00 PM

This past Tuesday marked the long awaited release of Microsoft / Bungie's Halo 3. The (supposed) last chapter in the Halo trilogy takes place on Earth, with its defensive forces all but obliterated. The planet has fallen to the unstoppable might of the Covenant. The Master Chief's AI companion Cortana is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind - a horrifying Flood intelligence, and a civil war is raging in the heart of the Covenant. This is how the world ends... But there is more when the aliens discoverer something beneath the ancient African sands called the "Forerunners". The Forerunners are an extinct alien race that built the huge artificial ringworlds called Halos, and all the Halo games have focused on the mystery surrounding these strange objects.

Below is the official trailer that goes with the plot summary.



Now, below you will find my ALL-TIME favorite video game trailer. Now that it is becoming popular for video game makers to promote their games with movie trailers, let me know what is your favorite.
