You’re a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle. That means—assuming you aren’t a speed reading super-soldier—you probably missed a few stories along the way. Not only do we forgive you, but we’ll also happily provide a convenient weekly wrap-up of absolutely everything we covered during the last seven days. Don’t worry about saying thank you. We’d rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!

Fails of the Weak 92

Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a Spartan who brought a golf club to a gunfight. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

 

“Wow. My friends said this course was brutal, but I did not expect this.” –Link1201
“General Woods misunderstood when the UNSC said it was going to take another swing at diplomacy.” –GunnerDude
“And you thought sand traps and water hazards ruined your game!” –Firestorm12
“Bet you can’t smash it.” –NebuchadnezzaRT
“The next blockbuster game in the Halo franchise has just been announced
and has been properly titled, Halo: Fore!” –Bruised BananaS
“Spartan’s never die, they’re just golfing in action.” –QueenlyTree124
“Aim for the balls!” –Majatek
“Play golf, they said. It will be fun, they said.” –James Schihl
“I think I’m going to need a 9 iron…” –Coux73

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 a confused Spartan. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

From DuelWieldingGamers:

Orion is a 4-8 player MLG-style map, made by SecretSchnitzel. This video has been a project that has taken me the
better part of a week, and nearly a total of nine hours of editing on the video alone, not to mention remixing an audio track, finding an audio track, and filming! There are, as always, a couple of rendering glitches. Some day there won’t be. Some day…
