Forging Ahead – Unfinished Business
Dani stopped by to let us know that the Forging Ahead series on Forward Unto Dawn (the website, not the movie) has been updated again. It’s been almost a year and a half since the last installment – Ghaleon had gotten frustrated with Forge, and put it all aside. He’s gone back now, for one last look at the map he worked so hard on (and a post-mortem on the entire process). Great read! (Louis Wu 13:53:24 UTC)

Dipping everything in melted cheese and chocolate

Halo After Dawn Eps 2 and 3
Mr Sark and Adam Kovic started their Halo After Dawn series (in which they talk behind the scenes with principals on the Forward Unto Dawn set) last month, with their interview with Stewart Hendler – yesterday, nillapuddin pointed out another couple of vids you might enjoy. in early August, they interviewed Enisha Brewster, who plays April Orenski, and the main topic of discussion was the UNSC Warthog. Then, yesterday, a new installment was released – this one is called ‘The Haircut’, and they discuss the recent ‘Enlist’ short (we mentioned THAT yesterday) with Tom Green (who plays Thomas Lasky). Good stuff! Keep an eye on the full playlist for new releases. (Louis Wu 13:36:22 UTC)

Friday Caption Fun 63
Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a super sneaky Spartan. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“Before Active Camo was invented, Spartans’ training had a different approach to stealth.” –Varmah52
“All the waxing on and waxing off of the Warthog didn’t seem so pointless now.” –Mujina23
“Jack was disappointed when he found out the UNSC would not grant him Hayabusa armor
for acting like a ninja.” –EG Fuzzy Nugget
“And here, ladies and gentlemen, we see how a Spartan reacts to taking an arrow to the knee.” –PhNx Hellfire
“Jimmy spent the whole day practicing his Kung Fu moves only to step on a Covenant alarm system. ” –KILLSTRE4K1
“After the impressive moves displayed by the Covenant at Club Ererra,
the Spartan-III’s knew that they needed to put in some practice.” –DiscoInferno343
“Because this is Thriller!” –Coux73
“The UNSC’s karate training wasn’t as effective as they first anticipated.” –apk493
“Very good Daniel-son….Red team will never know what hit them.” –Link1201
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 rather unusual Elite. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!
