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!

SingleHaloClips presents their February 2012 Communitytage. Learn how to submit your clips here!
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!
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….

From CruelLEGACEY:
I am excited to announce that Playtime Season 3 will be premiering on Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Spanning 10 episodes and featuring more than 20 characters across eight different locations, Season 3 is the biggest and best season of Playtime yet!
Just as I did with Season 2, I’ve teamed up with Halo Waypoint to bring you every episode of Playtime Season 3. We will be releasing a new episode each week for 10 weeks in a row. All 10 episodes will be available on every version of Halo Waypoint: the website, mobile app, and Xbox 360 Dashboard app!
Each episode of Playtime Season 3 will also be released on the show’s official homepage, simultaneously with each Waypoint release. The complete release schedule can be found here.
Spartans, we’re sending you back into Campaign this week for your challenge so listen up! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is:
NOT LOUGH, HIGH – 30,000cR
Earn a score of 250000 in any mission in the Reach Campaign.
Sounds hard? It’s supposed to be! But here are few hints that might help you reach the lofty number:
Turn on some Skulls – It’s always fun to mix up the gameplay, but for maximum point awesomeness try picking Skulls with score multipliers, for instance Famine, Tilt and Mythic.
Raise the difficulty – Get the biggest bang for your scoring buck by setting the difficulty to Legendary.
Amp up the speed – The faster you complete it, the more points you will earn.
Get fancy with your kills – Multi-kills, Assassinations, Headshots, oh my! Going for style pays off in lots of points for you.
Good luck, and don’t forget to stop by the Weekly Challenge Thread!
