    Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a Spartan with a rather interesting sniping technique. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

    “This takes no scoping to a whole new level.” –QueenlyTree124
    “I throw my rifle in the air sometimes and say Ayo… I’m playing Halo!” –stumpyandjay
    “Sometimes, Dr. Halsey wondered if her Spartan III’s ever got the correct gun training the UNSC promised.” –Ninjaman3250
    “Nothing short of a Covenant invasion was going to stop the Reach Olympic games!” –SP4C3C0WB0Y84
    “Halo 101: How to keep those pesky Grunts from taking your rifle.” –cyberty62
    “With his analog stick’s up and down capabilities being broken,
    Johnny was still desperate to get the 20 Brute headshot challenge.” –Thomassaurus
    “Though it looked good on paper, the “Rhythmic Gymnastics” section of the Spartan-III program
    resulted only in tragedy and humiliation when applied to actual combat.” –MacTavishW3
    “Press RB to… OWWW, MY WRIST!” –ArchedParasite
    “Trust me. In my hands? This is more effective.” –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 an unusual Drop Pod situation. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

    pete_the_duck let us know of a new article he’s written about Forge, and Halo 4 – it’s a discussion of what he’d like to see in the next iteration of the level editor, and why. Great stuff!(Louis Wu 16:40:14 UTC)

    From Hyokin:

    It would seem that this past weekend was the annual celebration of the “Coming of the Giant Banana Bushel” for the Space Monkeys, for they all lay passed out in their cages after a little too much feasting. But all is not lost, as they have enlisted the temporary aide of the Flaming Purple Mongeese to assemble this week’s batch of questions and thus make this dreary Monday a might bit cheerier. Of course one cannot expect the Flaming Purple Mongeese to do a task such as this for free. Thankfully the Space Monkeys have thought ahead, and left a large supply of cheddar cheese bricks as payment. And so the Space Monkeys get an extra day of rest while the rest of the world must contend with being fed this slightly singed and cheesy smelling round of questioning!

    This week our Community Spotlight is on SEspider: artist, perpetual forger, and finalist in Pete the Duck’s Last Forger Standing contest (if you haven’t seen it, you really must)! Spider is never one to shy away from a challenge and is always trying something new in Forge. If you play with us on Friday, you’re guaranteed to be a participant in at least one playtest. So just what does our resident eight-legged Spartan have to say about, well, everything? Let’s find out! Remember kids, the Spotlight burns through questions at a rapid pace, it can’t exist without fuel from the community. Drop by this page here and add anything you want to know to our stack!

    There was a new Ride-Along post on Bungie.net last night – but it wasn’t the normal type. This time, Bungie asked fans to envision what a battle between the UNSC and the Star Wars Imperial Empire might look like… and fans delivered. Go see. (There was also some playing – as any Ride-Along should have – from the artists that submitted entries. Comments come after the pics.) (Louis Wu 14:47:10 UTC)

    It’s sort of old (last summer) – but I’d never seen it before reading Kibbles’ post on NeoGAF this morning. DomesticMango created a video in GTA IV, showing ‘The After Years‘… and you thought he was headed to Requiem. Pfft.(Louis Wu 14:42:16 UTC)

    Looks like that Game Informer vid was half of a two-part article – I guess it went up on YouTube (and was found) before the article itself went up on Game Informer’s website. You can go visit there, though, because there’s a second video, discussing the future of the Halo Wars franchise. Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 19:49:14 UTC)

    This is the second Halo: Reach minitage of MLG pro Best Man, edited by Chaos. The gameplay is good, featuring a lot of nice Multikills and a ton of known names. The editing is good too, showcasing good syncing and a lot of wonderfully done transitions. Enjoy!
