Waypoint Weekly Wrap-Up – 6.23.12
You’re a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle. That means—assuming you aren’t a speed reading super-soldier—you probably missed a few stories along the way. Not only do we forgive you, but we’ll also happily provide a convenient weekly wrap-up of absolutely everything we covered during the last seven days. Don’t worry about saying thank you. We’d rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!

“Wow. My friends said this course was brutal, but I did not expect this.” –Link1201
“General Woods misunderstood when the UNSC said it was going to take another swing at diplomacy.” –GunnerDude
“And you thought sand traps and water hazards ruined your game!” –Firestorm12
“Bet you can’t smash it.” –NebuchadnezzaRT
“The next blockbuster game in the Halo franchise has just been announced
and has been properly titled, Halo: Fore!” –Bruised BananaS
“Spartan’s never die, they’re just golfing in action.” –QueenlyTree124
