Fails of the Weak 93
There’s a new Fails of the Weak episode from the Achievement Hunter crew – you can watch it on AH.com or on YouTube. Some impressive AI fails… and even more ridiculous human fails. The not knowing what a Moa was called was pretty distracting. Thanks, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 16:19:29 UTC)

Friday Caption Fun 57
Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a confused Spartan. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“When Jimmy was told, “The enemy is us,” he took drastic measures.” –Mutiny N648
“Hey, this multiplayer map is TINY!” –PWKWSFI
“During the Fall of Reach, ONI didn’t bother listing Tom as MIA because everyone expected him to die fairly easily.” –Varmah52
“I paid 300,000 cR for this helmet, and now I can’t see a thing! I demand a refund!” –Ch1ck3nFr1kaS33
“The UNSC’s prime candidate for Operation: Human Shield.” –darediablo199
“The pinnacle of reverse engineering for the UNSC.” –TD Appocolapse
“He shouldn’t have worn a GUNGNIR helmet to a scoping battle.” –STARS1AY3R
“Mind if I, uh, butt in?” –MCOTIB
“Nuf rof si siht gnithgif rof si siht nug ym si siht elfir ym si siht.” –cryptickidd
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 Spartan that has apparently confused a Warthog for a bull. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!
