Interactive Episodic Halo Storytelling
TellTale Games, the company behind The Walking Dead episodic game (the final episode of Season 1 was released in November, and was available on Xbox LIVE in its entirety for $10 during the week leading up to New Years Day), has said it would be interested in fleshing out the Halo universe (among other places). I bet they’d do a fantastic job! Thanks to randomrosso, who found this at VideoGamer.com (the original interview was on Red Bull’s UK site). (Louis Wu 18:55:40 UTC)

Walshy’s first impressions on MLG’s v1 settings
Walshy released a video with impressions about the first set of MLG Halo 4 settings – if you don’t keep up on this stuff, his analysis is pretty helpful in figuring out what’s what. (He’s got a good perspective on competitive gameplay, and where it fits in the Halo universe.) Plus, there’s a cat. Go watch! Thanks, Tashi. (Louis Wu 18:49:58 UTC)

For the Love of Halo 4
Not sure how we missed this when it was released back in November, but Jesse Cale wrote a song called ‘For the Love of Halo 4‘ – and posted a video… with a little help from Nak3d Eli. (If the name doesn’t sound familiar… you’ve probably heard his music before. He’s responsible for the soundtrack of the Master Chief vs Leonidas Epic Rap Battle last year.) Thanks to malfcn for finding this.(Louis Wu 17:48:01 UTC)

Mini-Covies, Revisited
We’ve seen mini-Covies on Spartan Ops before – and we know it’s not a bug… but we don’t really know what causes it. Recently, CrazedOne1988 and friends encountered it again on Ragnarok, and got some pretty fun footage. (I liked the closeups… and I liked the rubber-banded corpse at the end.) Maybe one day we’ll get to the bottom of this mystery!(Louis Wu 17:37:51 UTC)

Oh! You Pretty Thing
FyreWulff uploaded hundreds of native 720p screen caps of Halo 4’s campaign cinematics and levels. It is a nice reminder of how fantastic the art, cinematography and lighting is in Halo 4. Now I can sit and marvel at the the game’s beauty without being slaughtered by Promethean and Covenant forces. Thanks, Fyrewulff!(mastrbiggy 10:32:47 UTC)

Halo 4 Light Rifle Re-Imagined
Prinz Eugn shared his re-imagining of the Halo 4 Light Rifle. He also provided a legitimate gameplay reason as to why he re-designed the weapon – the Light Rifle and the Binary Rifle are sometimes hard to tell apart. I have to agree with that. Check it out and let him know what you think.(mastrbiggy 10:16:19 UTC)
