    From AgentPaperCraft:

    Test Night with a Cartographer is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint. Bring your map and your “A” game as we provide professional feedback on your custom content creations. We start at 6pm on Wednesdays, and we test a variety of content throughout the night. The cool thing about this event is you have the possibility of having your content considered for matchmaking through the Community Cartographers, which is a major stepping stone in getting your name out there as a forger. More information can be found here.

    Join us this week as we focus on 4v4 Arena/Slayer and Invasion!

    Some people show their love for Halo by playing the games. Others get a relevant image permanently placed upon their body. Enjoy this particular example of a Halo-related body modification, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

    From SEspider:

    Did my first speed art Thursday night. I call it speed art because I was able to record it and speed up the video. In reality, it took me an hour and a half to draw this in Illustrator. Took so long because I’m still not used to drawing on the computer, let alone working in Illustrator. Hope you like it!

    TheYetee.com is a website that sells one t-shirt design at a time. Right now (and for the next 30 hours or so), it’s selling a shirt called ‘Generation 117’ (if you’re reading this after March 27, 2012, it looked like this). It’s $11 (a little more for big sizes) plus shipping – grab yourself one! Thanks, Hypertrooper.(Louis Wu 22:07:17 UTC)
