Last night was a standard release night for a Red vs Blue video – but because it was the fifth week of the new series, we got a PSA instead of a standard episode of Recreation. Fire Safety gives you lots of tips for extinguishing fires – if you’re currently on fire, go watch it!(Louis…

Over at HawtyMcBloggy.com, a new issue of The Katonian Press details what happened recently when a Blue soldier attempted to steal the Red flag. I don’t remember most of my games going this way… but hey, it’s the Press, it MUST be accurate.(Louis Wu 11:31:38 UTC)

Leviathan and UNSC_Trooper are back with another graphic treatment of a Halo story; this one is a preview of Ghosts of Onyx, and what a great start it is! Take a look.(Louis Wu 11:24:40 UTC)

I’m rather astounded this didn’t show up at Hawty McBloggy’s first (Hawty, missing a chance to rub herself all over with the Master Chief?), but hey – the important thing is that you know about it. According to Geeky Gadgets, another of the video game-themed soaps you can buy from Digitalsoaps is a Master Chief…

Back in March, we mentioned Odd Pods, stylized figurines from McFarlane that should be released this month. (For all I know, in fact, they might be in stores now.) Turns out there’s a second wave, coming in October – thanks to Flipyap, over at NeoGAF, for noticing. The Rookie’s got a pistol, the Arbiter’s got…
