Bungie Favorites Updated
urk pointed out that the Weekly update to Bungie Favorites, showcasing the second batch of material from ODST 4th Battalion, is now live. Cheeto666 also discusses a particular map. (Louis Wu 20:45:29 UTC) (permalink)
Super-Fast Vidmaster Annual
If you haven't completed the Vidmaster Annual Achievement, the Bungie Blog is highlighting a video that can help you whip through it in no time at all. Four decent Halo players usually need 45 minutes to an hour and a half (or more) to finish the level... these guys offer you hints and a glitch that will get you through in 20-30 minutes.

Comics, comics, and more comics
anthraxgoon told us about X36 Chapter 2 Issue 2 (mindhacking? ew.), and Hawty McBloggy sent word that ODS Steve #12 (You Won't Like Him When He's Angry) is up, but she went to sleep and forgot to mention it sooner. Watch those mad grunts! (Louis Wu 18:21:30 UTC) (permalink)
2009 MLG Pro Circuit Announced
MLGPro.com has released info about the 2009 Pro Circuit - including locations and dates of the first two events. They're back in New Jersey in early April, and in Ohio in early June! Get pumped. Thanks, subtheorist. (Louis Wu 17:12:39 UTC) (permalink)
New Sandbox Info at IGN
IGN sat down with Brian Jarrard and Lars Bakken to talk about Sandbox - they've got 10 new screens, and some tasty info about the map itself. Give it a read! Thanks, CaLL Me ZeNy. Update: sketchfactor pointed out that a UK site, T3, also had an interview and a bunch of new screens - different ones. (They're formatted to be much smaller - but they're still new.) The interview, too, contains some... intriguing information. (Louis Wu 13:03:11 UTC) (permalink)

Mid7night has released his X-Plane model of In Amber Clad - if you've got the flight sim, you can download this and fly it yourself! (Louis Wu 12:59:28 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: it's what we're waiting for
Unigamesity has listed their 10 Hottest Xbox 360 Games for 2009 - and both Halo Wars (#6) and Halo 3: ODST (#4) are on the list. Nice!

A diehard fan says thanks
Bryan Simon was one of the winners of the Best of Halo Community Awards that Hawty McBloggy put together - and yesterday he received his Bungie-supplied (and Hawty-mailed) prize box. He filmed the opening, and added a special thanks. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube.

2v2 tourney at CVG
Competitive Video Games' Nathan Moeller let us know that they're running a 2v2 pre-season tournament on February 7th - no prizes, just fun. Swing by to sign up. (Louis Wu 12:58:23 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Insanity
On the eve of the release of the Halo Wars demo, there are a number of hands-on articles around the web: MLive.com has one, and so does NextGen Player. Gamerzines has a 17-page issue (downloadable, and free) entirely devoted to Halo Wars (thanks, Ndositwe Chizimbi). Australia's The Age has lined up an interview with Jason Pace, and is soliciting questions to be answered tomorrow. And finally, an update on the second Halo ViDoc: the Marketplace server is back up and running, so you can queue up a download of the HD version to your Xbox 360 - or if you'd rather watch the HD version on your computer, we've put up both a WMP9 version (205 mb) and a QuickTime version (207 mb). It's available in smaller resolutions just about everywhere today, so if those downloads are too big for you, visit YouTube, or Kotaku, or the Joystiq link we posted yesterday, or... Update: Another impressions article at PC World (interesting, since Halo Wars won't ever be available on a PC).
