    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!

    The latest Breaking In article at Bungie.net focuses on Danny Bulla, a brand-new gameplay designer on the sandbox team. There is zero Halo content in there – but we LOVE the Breaking In articles, so you should read it anyway.(Louis Wu 23:20:51 UTC)

    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)

    Every Monday, we feature a community member who does one or more of the following things: routinely goes above and beyond for their fellow forum members, is a positive and active member of the community, and/or sends me mass amounts of cat pictures. This week our Community Member of the Week is Toa Freak. Read a little more about him below, then hit his profile to get a link to the machinima-that-must-not-be-named!

     

    Community Member of the Week

     

    Gamertag: Toa Freak.

    Origin of gamertag: When I was taking a website building class when I was 12, I needed to register a GeoCities account. I was huge into BIONICLE at the time, but Bionicle_Freak was taken. So, I picked Toa_Freak27 (don’t know where the 27 came from). Eventually, I shortened it to Toa Freak, and the name stuck.

    Previous or current clan/community: Bungie, BZPower, Rooster Teeth.

    Halo game(s) you are currently playing: Reach.

    Favorite map, game type and playlist: Lockout, Team Slayer, Invasion.

    Least favorite map, game type and playlist: Rat Race, Halo Reach’s Infection, Living Dead.

    Preferred control scheme: Bumper Jumper.

    Halo playing style: Offensive. I’m the guy with the most kills and the lowest K/D spread, often enough.

    Favorite Halo character: Jacob Keyes or Admiral Cole.

    Favorite Halo book: Halo: Evolutions.

    Favorite Halo quote: “They call it, Halo.”

    Halo creations: Some horrible machinima I prefer to forget….
