Light ’em Up Redux – into the mind of a duck
Over at IdleDuck.com, pete_the_duck has been documenting the revamping of a cool concept that didn’t work out the first time. Part 1 shows you what the original game looked like, how it worked, and why it wasn’t fun. (This was published Tuesday.) Part 2 shows off some prototyping of ideas to try and make things better. (This was published Thursday.) And Part 3 shows a time-lapse video of the creation of a vehicle-free variant that shows a lot of promise – super cool! Thanks to pete for stopping in and updating us!

Friday Caption Fun 58
Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a Spartan that apparently confused a Warthog for a bull. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“NPC drivers? Where we’re going, we don’t need NPC drivers!” –Novus 7
“Good thing Warthogs don’t have mirrors, or the effort in stealth for this assassination would have been wasted.” –Lights Shadow87
“Hold X to hang on for dear life.” –Silver Fox5478
“After seeing that there wasn’t a mounted turret on the back of the new M6 Warthogs,
Jimmy tried to crawl into shotgun. Sadly, he never made it.” –m3rkMS
“Initial test data showed that Spartans were practically invincible. Later test data recommended seat belts.” –IkeBlues13
“Bill took the meaning of his Extra Vehicular Activity helmet FAR too seriously.” –CoconutJones
“It’s almost impossible to catch a cab on this planet!” –Scott Edward Crews
“I’m scared to hold on, but I’m scared to let go!” –Blu3MoonRising
“Worst. Carpool. Ever.” –Coux73
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 perhaps the only situation where tank does not beat all. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

Master Chief Minecraft Skin
If you’ve been wanting a little Master Chief in your Minecraft, then you should keep an eye on the PlayXBLA blog because I heard they’re going to make an announcement about an upcoming Minecraft Skin Pack within the hour. I’m not saying the Master Chief is going to included in said skin pack, but I am saying the Master Chief is going to be included in said skin pack. It’s also worth mentioning it may or may not look like the image above…

RumorTime: Halo 2 Anniversary
A number of sites (the Examiner, for example) are reporting that the newest OXM has a tidbit about 343 starting development of Halo 2 Anniversary – it’s in their ‘Rumor and Speculation’, section, though, so who knows. (Over at NeoGAF, TheOddOne pointed out an article quoting an unnamed source confirming that the game has, indeed, been a topic of conversation. I’m not sure it could get any more sketchy than that.)

Achievement HORSE 82
The Achievement Hunter crew actually posted the next match of their office HORSE contest (AH.com | YouTube) on July 4 – what a hard-working team! It’s the first round of the quarter-finals, so it’s a whole new set of maps – some look EVIL. Can Gus put the brakes on Michael’s rampage towards the championship? Watch to find out! Thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 15:20:35 UTC)
