It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for Bungie to update it’s Favorites page – this time around, it’s the second batch of files from Epic Pic. Go see what they’ve got for you!(Louis Wu 19:10:04 UTC)

We held off a bit, hoping something would show up later in the day… but nope. All we got for you in the Halo Comics universe is a pair of 2501 eps (80 on Monday, 81 on Tuesday), and today’s installment of ODS Steve (thanks, Hawty). Seems like lots of the regulars are taking time…

Gametrailers filmed an interview with Bungie’s Brian Jarrard at Comic-Con last week – he summarizes pretty much everything that’s known about ODST at this point, but there’s some nice gameplay footage happening next to him while he talks. Worth a watch. Thanks, Kibbles.(Louis Wu 14:29:26 UTC)

Another ODST preview, this time at bit-tech.net. Add this one to the ones mentioned here, here, here, and here.(Louis Wu 14:29:02 UTC)

VideoGamer.com focused on a couple of answers from Lars Bakken and Ryan Crosby last week in London to speculate about what might (or might not) be in the upcoming Halo 3: ODST.

There’s been quite a bit of discussion over the past week or so about Peter Jackson, Neill Blomkamp, and the Halo projects that seem to have withered without really becoming publicly dead. There’s a new article up on Kotaku right now in which Jackson talks specifically about how the death of the Halo movie was,…

Dennis Powers let us know that the first episode of a 6-part series, The Ring of Life, is now available – it tells the story of Commander Harrington, Andrea the AI, and the company of marines stationed on the ring that has played a primary role in previous seasons of the Halo CE Chronicles. You…

London’s Guardian has another interview with Lars Bakken and Ryan Crosby – there’s not a lot that hasn’t come up in other interviews (one of the pitfalls of giving a dozen or two interviews in a very short period), but there ARE some nice tidbits – give it a read!(Louis Wu 12:37:03 UTC)

Still more info from Peter Jackson’s camp – his manager, Ken Kamis, told the LA Times today that the Halo Chronicles project (announced at X06 almost three years ago) was killed back in January, as part of a series of Microsoft budget cuts. Ah, well. Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5.(Louis Wu 21:52:58 UTC)
