Tidy little discount at Newegg
Newegg is currently offering a $12 promo code good on Halo 4 items (among other things) – and if we’d gotten to this a few hours ago, you could have applied it to the $50-off LE Xbox 360 (which seems to be back up to its regular $399 right now, sorry).

“And thus Vlad Vadamee successfully evaded capture by imitating an over-sized Plasma Grenade. ” –esmitherine351
“The Covenant Transformation Armor still has a few bugs in it.” –LegoMr87
“It was only when they saw how the ground forces were churning out new grenades did the Prophets realize how
out-of-control Covenant budget cuts were becoming.” –PlAyEr1JcTr
“I don’t remember eating that!” –m3rkMS
“OMG, I only have TWO toes?!” –iJek Porkins
“Assassinating would never be the same again.” –Coux73
“Elites trainees thought evading would be easy until they actually tried it.” –chongczh
“They see me rollin’.” –MLPxBRONYx44
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 never-before-seen UNSC vehicle. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!
