Over here at the QJ offices, we're not sure whether we should be jealous or angry. Jealous because a Bungie dev got to drive the actual warthog made by the folks at WETA. Angry because the said developer managed to scratch the beautiful warthog against a wooden shed.

That's right folks. We've got video today that should be rather exciting, because some Bungie developers got the chance to drive the well-known Warthog we covered earlier in July. According to Bungie Studios' Weekly Update, the devs were in New Zealand to help Peter Jackson on the Halo project, and managed to spend some time at WETA as well, driving their souped up buggy.

Of course, being developers (and not stunt drivers), one of the devs managed to mess up the paint job by hitting a wood shed while taking it out for a spin, but he still counts as one of the most awesome people in the world, if only because he drove a gamer's dream car.

In related news, Bungie Studios is reminding gamers to steer clear of player profiles to avoid spoilers because, as they say, certain people "could LITERALLY have the final frame of the game as a screenshot on their file share."

UK-based games developer Warthog has posted a loss of £ 31,555 (US$ 62,214) for six months ending in September 2006. The loss is attributed to the cost of maintaining the company, along with its listing on the AIM market. Warthog is now trying to conserve its resources while actively seeking acquisition.

Warthog was acquired by Tiger Telematics in 2004. It then became part of Gizmondo Studios, working on projects for the failed Gizmondo handheld device. Warthog had worked on a number of titles for publishers such as VU Games, Electronic Arts, and SCi prior to the acquisition.
