    On April 7, 2012, a mass gathering is going to occur. For the first time in over a year, Halo 3 is going to be populated, and not by a small amount either. It will be populated by a large amount of people, effectively bringing back the days of when Halo 3 was a social experience. Hope to see you there!

    From AgentPaperCraft:

    Test Night with a Cartographer is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint. Bring your map and your “A” game as we provide professional feedback on your custom content creations. We start at 6pm on Wednesdays, and we test a variety of content throughout the night. The cool thing about this event is you have the possibility of having your content considered for matchmaking through the Community Cartographers, which is a major stepping stone in getting your name out there as a forger. More information can be found here.

    I thought of this video while listening to the Justice League Unlimited intro theme. Six founding members of the League, six members of Noble, it just fit! I also threw in a few easter eggs; bonus points to those who find them!
