Uman pointed us to a thread on Bungie.net’s forum in which he’s announced Agent 404, Episode 1, a 22 minute Halo 3 machinima filmed in HD and available for download (it’s 1.2 GB!) or stream (same file).

If you can’t wait for the HD version of GTTV’s latest episode to be posted on GameTrailers (it’ll happen in the next couple of hours, most likely), Impervium collected a roundup of YouTube clips showing off the Halo Legends material debuted on the show last night.

MirageDwarf, over at NeoGAF, noticed a channel on Hulu that (at the moment) is completely devoted to Halo 3: ODST videos. It’s an ‘Xbox’ channel, so I’d guess that in the future there’ll be other game videos there – but for now, it’s all Halo. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:32:26 UTC)

Joystiq [Xbox] pointed out that AOL Radio is showcasing the Halo 3 ODST Official Soundtrack on their Video Games Scores station – tracks are mixed in with tracks from other soundtracks, and you can only skip a limited number of songs, so if you go this route, you’ll be listening to a LOT of video…

Morpheus pointed out a PAX panel called ‘Story Matters’, moderated by G4 and populated by story guys from a bunch of studios – including Bungie’s Joe Staten.
