Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a Spartan caught in an unusual position. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

“Ralph-32 found that break dancing in MJOLNIR armor was harder than he’d thought.” –ElectricZealot
“Okay, who moved my chair?” –smileyken
“Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” –deluca34
“Give me a minute, guys. I think I might have pulled something after that flag cap.” –Sidewinder1996
“Tune in this fall for the premier of Dancing with the Spartans!” –ISAF Mobius 18
“Because being painted like a French girl is so 20th century, painting me like a Spartan will do.” –Rafael Chavez
“STOP! Spartan Time!” –Michael Page
“While it did make for amusing photos, it was found that the “Banana Peel” Armor Ability
wasn’t very practical in the field.” –F1SHNC1PPARONES
“Spartans found that sliding on one’s rear end was marginally less effective than crouch walking” –Twizzsted
“Spartan Jimmy didn’t sign up to do sit-ups. He signed up because he knew what the ladies liked.” –OompaMyLoompaa

Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is an image featuring everybody’s favorite Covenant flying vehicle. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

Greetings! This video covers the eighth and FINAL mission in Halo 4 on Mythic Difficulty (also known as true LASO – Legendary All Skulls On with no deaths or saves). Be sure to look out for the written portion of the walkthrough, which is available on halo.bungie.org!

From AgentPaperCraft:

Hello, Waypoint goers! With the addition of community-made content into matchmaking, custom maps and game types have become a integral part of Halo’s multiplayer experience. It keeps matchmaking fresh with all new content and game types that keep us on our toes. Forgers and game type creators often work hours, days and even months on their content before it’s considered for matchmaking, and it’s usually the lack of having a ready player-base to test their maps that it takes so long. So I offer an option to our forgers, a place to bring your maps and game types to have them tested and reviewed by a group of the top forgers around. You’ll receive top-notch forging tips and tricks to wow your players, improve map spawn and flow, provide a better map experience and get your name out there. You’ll also get to work directly with the Community Cartographers, a select group of community Forge enthusiasts who work with 343 Industries in the search of top quality content for matchmaking consideration. Every Saturday night at 6PM ET, get an invite by sending “AgentPaperCraft” a message over Xbox LIVE, or leave a comment in the Test Night Thread.

Join us this week as we induct another round of our Forge mentoring program, a program where we pair you up with a veteran forger to help hone your skills creating and distributing your custom content. Your mentor will help co-forge your map, offer you a higher level of assistance in understanding dynamic map flow, spawn placement, structural design, and other important aspects of designing your custom map. For more information about the mentoring program, head over to the ForgeHub thread where you can also post your maps for review and testing.

On September 13th, the Omnithon Team will spend 48-60 hours collecting donations for Child’s Play Charity, which provides hope through entertainment for those in children’s hospitals by playing through all the Halo campaigns in a row and streaming it to twitch.tv.

Omnithon’s (www.omnithon.com) events involve streaming days-long marathon sessions of gaming online while collecting donations for Child’s Play Charity. Omnithon: Halo 2013 is the group’s ninth event, and the fourth revolving around Halo.

Child’s Play (www.childsplaycharity.org) is a charity “dedicated to improving the lives of children in hospitals around the world through the kindness and generosity of the video game community and the power of play.” Over the last decade, it has raised over ten million dollars for those children, donations which Cameron D. Hosner, President & CEO of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, says will “support seriously-ill children in hospitals by distracting them from their illnesses, and help them cope with fear, anxiety, and boredom.”

All Halo campaigns (with the exception of Halo Wars) will be played in chronological order, so viewers can watch the UNSC’s struggle against alien threats from the Fall of Reach to the beginning of Master Chief’s new journey in Halo 4. Viewers will have chances to play multiplayer with the team, and some donors will have the opportunity to hop into a co-op game with the crew and join the fight directly. Donors, or even just twitter followers, will have chances to win a number of incredible prizes donated by Adam Y, including Halo 2 Master Chief and Warthog figures, and much, much more. A full list of what’s being given away and info on how donors can get a shot at them is up on the Omnithon website.

Over the course of eight marathons spanning three years, the Omnithon team has raised almost $10,000 for Child’s Play, through the power of audience interaction. The viewers are more than just an audience; they are valued members of the team, and can have a profound effect on the course of the marathon. The event begins at www.omnithon.com on September 13th at 10:00 AM (PST), and will last anywhere from 48-60 hours. Be there to watch, chat and donate to help children in need.

From 0IAH:

There are many talented photographers on Halo 4. The screenshots players take in this game can be very amazing. This video consists of some very amazing screenshots that were taken by members within Halo 4 community. Take a couple minutes out of your time to enjoy the beauty of this game.
