slYnki’s back, with a new Halo 1 launch (bottom of AotCR to the top, maybe the highest jump ever filmed). Awesome!(Louis Wu 20:07:30 UTC)

Leviathan came across a DeviantART piece entitled ‘Girl Battle’ – it’s an attempt by artrobot9000 to ‘make badass armored/covered girls look feminine without being sexual’. I’d say it was a success! (Sadly, I recognize only the Halo/Destiny/Metroid cha…
