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). Thanks, CyReN. (Check his post for the code.)(Louis Wu 20:08:40 UTC)

“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

That Fighter’s going DOWN.
Over a week ago, Hidesquadron1 sent along a pretty cool tidbit – Stan Bush (you might, or might not, remember him as the artist who sang ‘The Touch‘ from the Transformers movie in 1986) is coming out with a new single, Heat of the Battle – and if you look carefully, you might recognize some of the artwork on the cover. Sanctioned? Maybe not. Pretty cool, though! (Louis Wu 18:59:55 UTC)
