    “I swear I went through that interdimensional portal with my Warthog….” –Xandercore
    “And that is why Bob was no longer allowed to drive any UNSC Vehicles.” –StarlitGiraffe
    “I wondered what it would be like to gun a Warthog upside down… then it hit me.” –SlashedTortoise
    “Wonder if he’ll notice I fell out.” –FrizzDizz
    “It’s good the Ghost of Lockout found a new living after Halo 2.” –W1ltz
    “Boom! Headshot.” –Necropaxx
    “Dude, THERE’S my car!” –DarkEdge16

  • The Running Riot Interviews bs angel


    The Running Riot Interviews Slightly Live



    From Kete:

    These posts before the live broadcast are meant as an intro to the next guest. Jessica Shea doesn’t need an introduction because anyone reading this knows who she is: A beloved member of the Halo community who landed a dream job at 343 Industries. Before that job you only knew her as bs angel, so it’s only fitting for her second appearance as a guest on TRR that we call her Jessica.

    We get started tomorrow night, 3/30, with the Green Room at 9:15pm ET. Interview at 9:30. Gonna try to keep it clean, but I doubt it.

    bs angel note: It was kinda sorta weird publishing this. Just sayin’.
