Apparently, some DLC coming for Duke Nukem Forever takes shots at other shooters – including Halo. (Sounds like Sandbox is a parody of Blood Gulch, though I can’t find any pictures yet.) Thanks, Elzarthebam.(Louis Wu 14:50:07 UTC)

mattroe used a Red vs Blue clip as a jumping-off place for an animation class project – the end result is pretty cool! Check it out.(Louis Wu 14:47:53 UTC)

mr.sci-fi bought a couple of cool Halo items, and posted video reviews of them – swing by his post to see a couple of minutes each of the Essential Visual Guide and some Peel-n-Stick vinyl graphics. Interesting idea!(Louis Wu 14:46:34 UTC)

Red vs Blue Season 9 Episode 6 is now live – Caboose changes his name, Sarge decides he doesn’t like feelings, and Church yells at the appliances. In other words… business as usual. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:53:11 UTC)

Whoa. Marcus Lehto, longtime Bungie employee and Creative Director for Halo: Reach, is leaving the company. A tweet he posted last night suggests the end comes soon. We’ll miss you, Marcus!(Louis Wu 15:39:30 UTC)

The Tyrant continues with his newest series, Third Person Mythic; once again, he’s releasing a Nightfall run, but this time, it’s Quad-Mythic. No cutscenes – just four-player Mythic gameplay madness. Lots of tips built into the commentary – go give it…

MS has a sale going for Halo-related DLC – you can snag the Noble and Defiant Map Packs for Reach for 400 MS Points each (thanks, HC Lone Wolf). In addition, Hiji points out that Halo 3 DLC is also on sale – the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack is slashed in ha…

Edge sent word that Halotracker is running a newFFA tournament named Games for Flames 2 – you can win a Flaming Helmet code and MS Points. There’s a fee for entering, with half the money going to charity – full details are on their site. (Louis Wu 15:…

The second batch of Hedgemony’s 117×5 series – 117 enhanced images from Halo 3 and Reach over 5 days – is now live. As is often the case with Hedgemony’s work, I’m looking at Halo in a whole new way… check these out. Not a bad shot in the bunch. (Lo…

Over at NeoGAF, Blinding pointed out a short video from SillyGoose – make sure your speakers aren’t set too loud before playing this (it starts with a scream), but the editing is pretty wild. (SEC stands for SingleEditedClip.) (Louis Wu 11:42:42 UTC)

mr.sci-fi has decked his car out in Reach-related decals… the targeting reticle disturbed me a little. (Louis Wu 11:39:31 UTC)

robbert014 was sad that a montage he posted (from his buddy Nollemaster, though it contains footage of his own gameplay, among others) back in September 2010 never got any love – we dropped the ball, so we’re picking it up here. It’s actually got some…

Hedgemony loves Halo. And Hedgemony loves HBO. (And HBO loves Hedgemony! But that’s not really the story here.) As part of his celebration of Halo’s 10th anniversary, he’s decided to create a gorgeous, HBO-exclusive gallery of his signature images – 1…

The next episode in Tyrant’s Halo 3: ODST Legendary Walkthrough is live – he covers Data Hive in his inimitable style. It’s a monster – 40 minutes long. (It would be longer if he were using MY footage, I’ll tell you that.) Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:02:03 …

Eurogamer’s DigitalFoundry has done one of their tech analyses on the Halo Anniversary demo shown at San Diego ComicCon last week. Worth a read! Thanks, Hypertrooper. (Louis Wu 15:59:25 UTC)

Postmortem hosted a Halo LAN last Friday – and wrote it up for his “The Life of a Halo Fan” blog. With pictures, and everything! Check it out.(Louis Wu 15:58:00 UTC)

kornman00 is unhappy that Halo Wars doesn’t get the credit it deserves – if you swing by HaloMods, you’ll find a post about the first ever Halo Wars mod. The creator is hoping to kick off a modding craze! Go see.(Louis Wu 15:52:53 UTC)
