The Halo Theme Sung Inside a 16,000-Ton Oil Silo Sounds Absolutely Epic
The Halo theme is already pretty epic. Now imagine hearing it sung inside a 16,000-ton oil silo.
To celebrate Halo: Campaign Evolved, Finnish vocal ensemble Munx Gregoriana performed a haunting a cappella version of Martin O’Donnell’s iconic theme inside Oil Silo 468 in Helsinki, Finland. The massive former oil tank is famous for its almost supernatural echo, and it turns the performance into something that sounds less like a video game soundtrack and more like an ancient, sacred ritual.
Turn up the volume and prepare for some absolutely ridiculous reverb.
The Elder Scrolls 6’s Possible Title Was Hiding in Starfield This Whole Time
Bethesda may have just pulled off the most ridiculously Bethesda thing imaginable: hiding the name of The Elder Scrolls VI inside Starfield and making us wait three years to notice.
If this is true, Bethesda has officially reached the point where it hides game titles inside other games like it’s running the world’s nerdiest scavenger hunt.
Fans think The Elder Scrolls VI could be called The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, and the clue may have been sitting in Starfield the entire time.
Remember that weird 16-digit “Employee Number” in Starfield’s character creator? Turns out, if you split it into pairs and convert the numbers to letters using the alphabet, it spells SENTINEL.
S = 19
E = 5
N = 14
T = 20
I = 9
N = 14
E = 5
L = 12
Which is either an incredibly elaborate Easter egg… or the greatest coincidence Bethesda has ever accidentally created.
And now Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has teased an eight-letter word in the title of The Elder Scrolls VI, while former Bethesda developer Michael Kirkbride apparently replied “yep” when someone on Reddit asked if it was Sentinel.
If that’s not confirmation, it’s at least enough evidence to make the conspiracy corkboard very interesting.
Also, Sentinel is a major city in Hammerfell, which would line up nicely with years of fan theories about where The Elder Scrolls VI is headed.
So after Skyrim, Bethesda may be taking us to Hammerfell.
At this rate, we’ll get to play The Elder Scrolls VI sometime around 2047, just in time for someone to discover that Fallout 5’s title was hidden in Sentinel.
Green Lantern Is Back, and the First 5 Minutes of Lanterns Look Damn Good
The first five minutes of Lanterns are here, and if this is any indication of what’s coming, DC might finally be ready to make us care about Green Lantern again.
The new series premieres this Sunday at 9 PM on HBO Max and Crave in Canada, giving us our first live-action Green Lantern-focused project since Ryan Reynolds’ 2011 movie. Yes, that movie. Let’s move on.
The opening takes us back to 1996, where a young John Stewart is completely fascinated by Hal Jordan. At this point, Hal is basically the world’s first celebrity superhero, having publicly revealed himself by stopping a meteor from destroying Victoria Falls. Casual Tuesday.
John is watching Hal’s interview on TV with his brothers when his father comes home and immediately decides that television time is over. What follows is a pretty intense father-son moment involving a gun, an apple, and the question:
“Are you afraid?”
John says no.
BANG.
Then his dad basically goes, “Cool. Let’s get a burger.”
Well… that’s certainly one parenting technique.
The scene then jumps forward to Hal as a veteran Green Lantern, reluctantly training his replacement, John Stewart. It sets up the relationship between the two characters while giving us a glimpse at the history of this new DC Universe.
And honestly, five minutes in and I’m already curious to see where this goes.
Check out the first five minutes below. Lanterns premieres Sunday at 9 PM on HBO Max and Crave.

KFC and Oreo Have Joined Forces to Ruin Cookies Forever
Oreo has officially entered the “what if we just put literally anything in a cookie?” phase of its existence.
The latest experiment? KFC x Oreo Fried Chicken Cookies, now available in China as part of Oreo’s “Playful Time Travel” collection.
And yes, they are exactly what they sound like.
The cookies still look like perfectly normal Oreos, complete with the classic chocolate wafers. But instead of the usual sweet cream filling, you get a cream flavored with KFC’s famous 11-seasoning spice blend.
So, essentially, someone looked at an Oreo and thought, “You know what this needs? Salt.”
The filling supposedly contains herbs, spices, and salt designed to mimic the flavor of KFC’s fried chicken batter. One side of the cookie even keeps the traditional Oreo logo, while the other gets the KFC treatment.
Personally, I have one question: Why is the salty chicken-flavored cream trapped between chocolate cookies?
Why not a savory cracker? A little biscuit? Something that doesn’t make your brain desperately try to reconcile dessert with the smell of fried chicken?
But hey, I’m willing to keep an open mind.
By which I mean I’m willing to let someone else eat one first.
The cookies launched in China on July 31, alongside another flavor from the collection called Retro Popcorn. Unfortunately, or perhaps mercifully, depending on your relationship with fried chicken and chocolate, they aren’t currently available outside China.
And this isn’t even the first time Oreo and KFC have decided that conventional food combinations are for cowards.
KFC has previously turned its chicken into jelly beans and toothpaste, while Oreo has released Thanksgiving-themed cookies featuring flavors such as Turkey & Stuffing and Creamed Corn.
At this point, Oreo isn’t making cookies anymore.
It’s conducting experiments.
Somewhere in an Oreo laboratory, there’s probably a scientist standing over a mixing bowl whispering, “What if we made this one taste like the inside of a teenager’s gym bag?”
And the terrifying part is that someone would probably buy it.
Still, I can’t deny that I’m curious.
If the KFC Oreo ever makes its way to North America, I may have to try one.
For science.
And by “science,” I mean poor judgment.
