Five new screens have popped up from the Bones-created episode of Halo Legends (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5) – no word on release dates yet, though.(Louis Wu 16:16:51 UTC)

Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 15 (Watch the Flank) ups the tension a bit – Simmons and Lopez have trouble at Valhalla, while the rest of the crew find out how bad a storyteller Caboose can be. I kinda like the new Church.(Louis Wu 16:15:41 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped in with word of a couple of new articles available at Tied the Leader – ‘Don’t Burn the Love Letter’ explains how Bungie made ODST just for you, and ‘Join Us. Stop Them.’ looks at the brilliance of the ODST marketing campaign. Great reads, both!(Louis Wu 15:47:27 UTC)

CVG grabbed a bit out of the latest OXM UK issue where Joe Staten explained that Bungie was happy to tie together various tidbits from Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach – it’s unclear how many of them will come to fruition, but the seeds have been sown, and Bungie is free to harvest as…

Eurogamer posted an article called ‘Off the Map’ – it looks at a few games that contain levels designed to confuse the player, rather than help him get from point A to point B. Page 2 looks at 343 Guilty Spark, from the first Halo. Overall, it’s a great read, and makes me want to…

Microsoft has responded to the ‘Unreadable Disc’ issue that some gamers have encountered with ODST – they’ve told Eurogamer that they “are aware of a very small number of people who are reporting they can’t play the game”, and that they “are looking into it, but at this point it doesn’t appear to be a…

PyroSmile has released the sixth episode of their Road2Recon series – this one gives you tips on completing the Vidmaster: Endure Achievement. They picked a level with a high chance of success, and explained what you need to do to get through the first 4 sets. Go watch it, and Endure! (Louis Wu 15:29:15 UTC)

Schedonnardus ran across what has to be the most bizarre computer peripheral I’ve ever seen. (When you see it, you’ll know why it’s being mentioned on a Halo website.) It’s totally unclear to me why you’d actually WANT one of these, though…(Louis Wu 15:26:44 UTC)

MTV Multiplayer blog has a pair of videos of Nathan Fillion talking about his involvement (or desired involvement) in Halo projects – in the first one, he explains how he got involved in Halo 3 (and how he pulled in Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk, two of his Firefly co-stars), while the second one has…

Domino Theory noticed a small blurb on Christian Allen’s blog – Allen was a Lead Designer working on Reach, who (according to this blog post) has left Bungie to take a position at WB Games. Seems like interesting timing, given that Reach is scheduled to be released in a year… (Louis Wu 15:24:45 UTC)
