Friday Caption Fun 62
Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a rather unusual splatter. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!“This is the third image of the Curiosity landing that NASA didn’t want the public to see.” –LUDA04
“After the results of several experiments, Spartans learned to tread lightly.” –m3rkMS
“Wheelhicular Manslaughter!” –BIG ERN 108
“Legend has it that Noble Team member Kat was just as bad at changing tires as she was at driving.” –KINGCOBRADUDE
“And so young Blue had learned to “track” his enemies, just not in the way his UNSC instructors tried to teach him.” –m3rkMS
“I’m sooooo tired! Get it…because I said tire…ah, forget it.” –V01T41RE
“The deadly Veloci-splattor just needed some fine-tuning to attack the Covenant instead.” –Heroic Snorro
“Freddy always took the idea of being the “wheelman” too seriously.” –Steph7297
“And on that day, Red Team learned that replacing someone’s parachute with a tire was NOT a good practical joke.” –petetheduck
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 super sneaky Spartan. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!Author: TheOne008

Ooh! Ooh! I bet it’s a pony.
Mountain Dew UK has decided to promote a Halo 4-related reveal (hmm, what could it be) by asking for Facebook Shares – until they get 1000, all you can see is the Master Chief and the logo (and some blurred out stuff that’s relatively easy to interpret). Wanna help? You know what to do. Thanks, ElzarTheBam. Update: Heh – the Facebook page is still only a quarter of the way to the requisite number of Shares… but a bottle of the stuff they’re hiding is already up on eBay. Oops!(Louis Wu 18:12:42 UTC)

Master Chief Sideshow Exclusive Edition

Sideshow Collectibles unveiled their Halo: Anniversary Premium Format Figure last month at San Diego Comic-Con. What they didn’t reveal, though, was that they also have a Sideshow Collectibles exclusive edition, which includes an additional swap out for arms with a Needler. So if you have a thing for impaling your enemies with explosively-sharp crystalline shards (and who doesn’t, really?), you can pre-order the exclusive statue at Sideshow Collectibles.
