Batou stopped back in with some older Warhammer-based Halo figures – he’s been doing this for a while! (Louis Wu 12:49:27 UTC)

Toy Fair 2010 happened yesterday – and the news out of McFarlane is Reach-filled. GrimBrother One started the party with a link to Kotaku, but InnerRayg pointed out a lot more pics at Figures.com, and later came back with pics from Cool Toy Review. Go get your fill! (I gotta say, the VISR stuff looks…

Per tradition, today we note the passing of stalwart friend Brian Morden. Known by his tag ∗Ar-Isildur, Brian was a regular on our forums, dispensing of his youthful wisdom to all around. A Bungie fan first and a Halo fan second, Brian shared with many of us a love of video games and the social…

Kotaku has added their writeup to the growing collection of journalist impressions of last week’s X10 Reach presentation. They’re skeptical, it sounds like.(Louis Wu 17:15:41 UTC)

Our Hide, Seek, Snap competition got two new winners from Round 11 this weekend – Man Demon snagged the Halo 3 shot, and SaberUmbra picked up the ODST shot. Nice work, guys! Two more Johnson codes out the door. (AfroRyan’s legacy lives on!) We’ve posted Round 12 – two shots from Halo 3: ODST. Find…

Lando Griff1n told us about a new montage called ‘Question Reality’, available at HaloMontage.com. Gameplay is by Fitzy and Smite, editing is by Hazmat v2. 9 minutes long. Hazmat definitely pushes the technical bar of Halo montage editing, though if you’re not one for fast cuts and overeffects, this one might be too much for…

Over at NeoGAF, Letters took the X10-revealed box art and created a couple of backgrounds you can use on your 360. Pretty cool!(Louis Wu 14:46:19 UTC)

AssaultGodzilla stopped in yesterday with “Valentine’s Day”, a video set to the Linkin Park song of the same name. Clips match lyrics, timing is spot-on. Not so sure about the message… (Louis Wu 14:44:54 UTC)

Looks like a small nod to Halo might have made it into Mass Effect 2… thanks, TheSneak.(Louis Wu 14:23:29 UTC)

Joystiq has an interview with Marcus Lehto, as well – the man’s got a lot to say!(Louis Wu 14:18:47 UTC)

Yoraish whipped up a LEGO Warthog – interesting take!(Louis Wu 14:18:07 UTC)

Marcelo Vega, of Brazil’s TooGamers, let us know that while Halo Legends is available in Brazil, it only has Portuguese subtitles – no dubbing. (Local stores have already broken the February 25 street date; he was able to pick up a copy today.)(Louis Wu 14:17:04 UTC)

Marcus Lehto and Brian Jarrard talked to IGN – there’s a ton of great info. Will you be playing as all the members of Noble Team? Question Answered. Will the beta give you a flavor of what’s coming in the final product? Question Answered. Are multiplayer maps just going to be repurposed Campaign spaces? Question…

Pete Cooper stopped in with a pic from an in-progress Rocket Launcher being built by a denizen of the 405th – MAN does that look good!(Louis Wu 13:11:46 UTC)

For those who feel less than loved this Valentines Day, Hawty McBloggy’s got your back; she’s posted a collection of ten ‘UnValentines’, with Halo-themed rejection messages. Funny, useful, a little sad… yep! But wait… what if everything’s going great, but you want to send your love some Halo-themed gooey-ness? Don’t worry, she’s got that covered,…

Over at NeoGAF, Kibbles pointed out a Reach preview from TeamXbox – they really liked what they saw at X10. Give it a read. (Louis Wu 13:09:12 UTC)

I think maybe it’s time to call it quits with the Hide, Seek, Snap contest – a shame, really, since we still have seven codes left to give away, but there’s nobody left submitting solutions. We’ll give it another couple of days, I suppose. If you’re still missing a Johnson code for ODST’s Firefight, we…

rolandk73 went hunting through eBay in search of Halo goodies – he found some funky stuff. Check it! (Louis Wu 13:06:11 UTC)

Yesterday’s Ctrl-Alt-Del’s ‘silly’ makes an analogy I’m pretty sure I’d never have thought of myself… thanks, gunluva. And while we’re doing comics, we should (hmm, wrong word) mention Grin + Bear It, over at Hawty McBloggy’s – Luke is clearly a frustrated XXX scriptwriter.(Louis Wu 13:05:29 UTC)

Not surprisingly, the Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection this week is love-themed… go check out ‘Partners for Life’. Mostly safe for work (seeing as how they’re all wearing armor). (Louis Wu 13:03:21 UTC)
