    The whole gang is pretty much exhausted from real life stuff that’s happened this week, but this doesn’t keep us from at least mentioning all the information that was dropped over the last week. Game Informer continues to release more information about Halo 4, and we keep on taking as much as we can. We’ll do a more proper series of shows next week to cover the information properly and adequately, but for now, here’s a taste. Enjoy

    CyReN let us know about Episode 2 of Halo Council’s Top 5 Halo Plays of the Week… good stuff. (I’d be pretty discouraged if someone on the other team started the game with a Killtrocity…)(Louis Wu 18:13:29 UTC)

    Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring two Spartans and one functional jetpack. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

    Halo: Reach Screenshot

     

    “Are you SURE this is the best way to hijack another Corvette?” –FSR HoneyBadger
    “When you asked if I could give you a lift, this wasn’t what I had in mind.” –b2blackhawk
    “He takes ‘carrying the team’ to a whole new level.” –AnalogPh33r
    “Press X to… okay, that’s just wrong.” –DynamiteMobster
    “It took Bill two hours to figure out where Kyle was hiding.” –LF Carson
    “Ever since NASA stopped sending shuttles into outer space, the Spartan Space Program just hasn’t been the same.” –Jeff McCord
    “Mario and Yoshi… Halo: Reach Style.” –Brayden Eames
    “Getting a sniper on the roof: attempt # 37…” –David Myers
    “Jetpacks: because carpooling ain’t exactly easy when the Covenant are glassing your planet.” –Jacob Zolotenko



    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 with a rather interesting sniping technique. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

    From Apollo Creed 01:

    I had some free time and decided to whip up a quick montage showcasing some of the great screenshots of Spartans. While this montage itself may be amateur work, the pictures and music shown inside are far from it. So sit back and enjoy these great images set to an awesome soundtrack theme from Halo: Reach!

    Swing by Halo Waypoint for a peek at the cover of Karen Traviss’ next Halo novel, ‘Halo: The Thursday War’, and the press release from Tor discussing the book. This will be out on October 2 – giving you about a month to absorb it before Halo 4 hits the shelves. Thanks, Tha Robbertster.(Louis Wu 16:01:02 UTC)

    Community Customs Night



    From Hyokin:

    Every Friday night at 9pm EST, we get together on Halo: Reach and run some custom games. We play everything from Team Slayer to Knockin’ Zombs, and you can even bring your own custom maps to play! Just make sure to upload them on your File Share and let us know either in a comment or in the lobby which map and what game type to run with it. Hope to see you tonight!

    We got an email the other day which I thought needed to be shared. It came from a disabled individual who refuses to let his disability get in the way of his gaming – and I thought others might like to hear his story. Check it out on our forum. (Louis Wu 15:56:38 UTC)

    Looking over the Halo news today, I saw four separate Halo-related podcasts available for your listening pleasure. Hope you’ve got a bunch of free time!

    • gunn3r11 told us about Drunk on Halo Episode 6 – the podcast of The Spartan Force. Cosplay, rage quitters, and heated arguments are all present.
    • CruelLEGACEY sent word of the Waypoint Community Modcast Episode 16. Special guest is DayandKnightly, discussion topics are Spartan Ops, Forward Unto Dawn, and listener questions.
    • Tex announced that the podcast she was a guest on last week, 40s and 20s Episode 30, is now live. Really fun listen (though the crew does get drunker – and less accurate – as the ‘cast goes forward). Lots of Red vs Blue talk, lots of random stuff. (Check her post for an annotated SoundCloud version and an iTunes link.)
    • Josh Holmes participated in Game Informer’s weekly podcast, answering (well, not really answering) questions about Halo 4 presented by the GI community. Thanks to both CyReN and Grim. Update: Looks like TheOddOne summarized all the key points in this one over at GAF.

    That’s a lot of hours of talking!(Louis Wu 15:50:57 UTC)

    The Tyrant decided to try something different (for him) – the latest episode of The Tyrant Documentaries is a game of Grifball, with commentary. Yes, he’s a n00b. Go see how he does.(Louis Wu 18:57:30 UTC)
