Reclaimer is back, with Episode 241 (Race) – you might want to review the last few episodes to bring yourself back up to speed, since it’s been a few weeks. It’s definitely a nailbiter! Thanks, TTL Demag0gue.(Louis Wu 14:42:27 UTC)

The Teabag Prevention Team is back after a hiatus – they’re back with a new website design and a new article. Swing by to make the most of Halo 3: ODST’s Last Exit! (They’ll be doing Firefight tips map-by-map while waiting for Reach news.)(Louis Wu 13:08:08 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy uncovered a cool mashup image at DeviantART – SligarTheTiger combined two exciting games to create Left 4 Sangheili 2. (If you like the work, you should check out his gallery – he seems to be obsessed with Elites.) (Louis Wu 13:07:45 UTC)

NeoGAF’s Warm Machine posted an image of some Mega Bloks stuff that looked fantastic – so I did a little digging. Came up with this. I know there are folks who aren’t happy with Mega Bloks… but I’m lovin’ some of this stuff.(Louis Wu 13:06:09 UTC)

MattDratt created a two and a half minute trailer for Red vs Blue’s Reconstruction series (which originally ran from May through October of 2008) – it gives away a tad too much (in my opinion) to be great for folks who haven’t seen the series yet, but is nicely frenetic, and fits the style of current movie trailers pretty well.(Louis Wu 13:05:44 UTC)

Arithmomaniac whipped up a Jackal costume for Purim this year – check out the pics!(Louis Wu 19:16:10 UTC)

Marcus Fenix sent along a link to a band page for Modern Athletics; why is this Halo news? Well, because three of the four band members are Bungie employees working on Halo. Cool!(Louis Wu 19:15:05 UTC)

Awesome. RvB’s OboeCrazy had a big concert a couple of days ago – and decided to play some ODST music (on an oboe) to warm up. Just 36 seconds long – go watch it!(Louis Wu 19:31:19 UTC)

In honor of Marcus Lehto’s birthday, the Bungie Developer’s Blog has released a ringtone (in a couple of flavors) of Marcus describing his neuronal firing. Go grab a copy!
