Red vs Blue Season 9 Episode 6 is now live – Caboose changes his name, Sarge decides he doesn’t like feelings, and Church yells at the appliances. In other words… business as usual. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:53:11 UTC)

Whoa. Marcus Lehto, longtime Bungie employee and Creative Director for Halo: Reach, is leaving the company. A tweet he posted last night suggests the end comes soon. We’ll miss you, Marcus!(Louis Wu 15:39:30 UTC)

The Tyrant continues with his newest series, Third Person Mythic; once again, he’s releasing a Nightfall run, but this time, it’s Quad-Mythic. No cutscenes – just four-player Mythic gameplay madness. Lots of tips built into the commentary – go give it a watch!(Louis Wu 15:31:56 UTC)

In addition, Hiji points out that Halo 3 DLC is also on sale – the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack is slashed in half, to 200 MS Points, while the Halo 3 Mythic II Map Pack is just 400 MS Points. Go grab ’em while they’re hot! (Louis Wu 15:25:30 UTC)

The second batch of Hedgemony’s 117×5 series – 117 enhanced images from Halo 3 and Reach over 5 days – is now live. As is often the case with Hedgemony’s work, I’m looking at Halo in a whole new way… check these out. Not a bad shot in the bunch. (Louis Wu 11:56:07 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Blinding pointed out a short video from SillyGoose – make sure your speakers aren’t set too loud before playing this (it starts with a scream), but the editing is pretty wild. (SEC stands for SingleEditedClip.) (Louis Wu 11:42:42 UTC)

mr.sci-fi has decked his car out in Reach-related decals… the targeting reticle disturbed me a little. (Louis Wu 11:39:31 UTC)

robbert014 was sad that a montage he posted (from his buddy Nollemaster, though it contains footage of his own gameplay, among others) back in September 2010 never got any love – we dropped the ball, so we’re picking it up here. It’s actually got some great gameplay, fun music, and solid camera work. Go watch!(Louis Wu 21:39:59 UTC)

Hedgemony loves Halo. And Hedgemony loves HBO. (And HBO loves Hedgemony! But that’s not really the story here.) As part of his celebration of Halo’s 10th anniversary, he’s decided to create a gorgeous, HBO-exclusive gallery of his signature images – 117 images that will be released over 5 days. The first batch is up today. Go browse – they’re awesome. (Louis Wu 16:17:31 UTC)

The next episode in Tyrant’s Halo 3: ODST Legendary Walkthrough is live – he covers Data Hive in his inimitable style. It’s a monster – 40 minutes long. (It would be longer if he were using MY footage, I’ll tell you that.) Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:02:03 UTC)

If the original series, plus the making-of video, plus all the ancillary releases haven’t been enough Playtime for you, CruelLEGACEY has your back; he’s releasing the first four episodes again, but this time with commentary. Ep 1 is up now. New episodes every Monday. (Louis Wu 15:48:52 UTC)

Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:44:52 UTC)
