Lots of Halo vids up for your watching pleasure today, courtesy of the BungLog™:Halo 3 in the Work Place held another Fustoms Friday last week – and they’ve released the recap vid.

Dr. Nick stopped in to say that he’d taken the trouble to plot out the stops that the ODST truck is going to be making over the next month. It’s one thing to see a list of names on a page – it’s another thing entirely to see the route plotted out on a map.…

2900d4u pointed out a thread from Bungie.net that includes a photo snapped inside the ODST truck, showing off a yellow-helmeted Dare playing Firefight. (Pic was snapped by Bungie’s Max Dyckhoff, so take it up with them if this is considered a leak.) If you like that pic, Max took a whole bunch more. (Louis Wu…

Gamersyde released a 15-minute ODST presentation that they recorded at Gamerscom last week – it’s filmed off the screen, but the HD downloads are quite watchable.

Lots of people were at Redmond’s Gamestop yesterday to play them some sweet, sweet ODST Firefight. One guy filmed the experience (almost all outside the truck) and grabbed a clip of Joe Staten doing the Grunt voice – thanks to Kibbles for the heads-up on these. Also, kanbo stopped in to our forum with his…

Yesterday was Friday – and Hawty McBloggy posted another edition of Friday Caption Fun, even though she was on vacaction. We, however, forgot to look for it – so you’re hearing about it on Saturday. (Blame us, not Hawty.) Swing by to see the pick of last week’s captions – and an image that’s just…
