We’re back after about a month off. Dust Storm is finally getting a job, GLewis is done with school, and our newest co-host is along for the ride. We’ve seen a lot of changes in the community of Halo with constant changes to Halo Waypoint and the addition of ATLAS and Custom Challenges. This week’s show dives into what we think of all the changes that 343i has made and what direction Waypoint is headed in. Enjoy

Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a rather fishy scene. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

“I bet the Blue team gets Filet Mignon.” –Link1201
“It’s the dinner contingency!” –petetheduck
“Press X to swap for… wait, what?” –Ev1l D3m0n
“It was at this moment that Obi-Fish Kenobi wished that he could talk and say
that this was not the fish they were looking for.” –Hotrod192
“Halsey’s experiments on the Spartan candidates occasionally had unintended side effects.” –That Gunslinger
“Realizing that Spartan III’s simply did not know how to swim,
UNSC employed new instructors to train them in aquatic-based survival.” –Lumberjack086
“Don’t play koi with me!” –DarkEdge16
“Red team’s recruitment really started to flounder.” –Coux73
“Forget the Master Chief. We need a master chef!” –cryptickidd

Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is a picture featuring an Elite in a barrel. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

Armor Lock: it’s like Whack-a-Mole

—

by

Zelda Williams (daughter of comedian Robin) has a small spotlight on G4TV, inspired by her appearance in the upcoming movie Noobz – the focus of the movie is Gears of War 3, but Williams mentions in the interview that she’s more of a Halo girl. (Even, apparently, an Armor Lock girl, though she calls it ‘Overshield’.) Thanks, HiredN00bs.(Louis Wu 17:44:20 UTC)

I Would Catch This Grenade For You – A Plushy Plasma Grenade

Plushy Plasma Grenade

From syrelinda:

I made my boyfriend a Plasma Grenade for a very special Valentine’s Day gift. It was kind of a pain to make, as I’ve never sewn before. It took me a few hours in front of the TV watching Star Trek. Mwahaha!

In Like a Lion

by

The Halo Bulletin is online for this week – and it’s a doozy. The appetizer is Tweets of how folks would wake up the Master Chief, but the entree is the March Matchmaking Playlist Update. There are a bunch of changes, but the two biggies are that there will be two 4v4 Slayer lists, one WITH the TU gametypes, one WITHOUT… and that Bleedthrough is removed from TU gametypes. There’s quite a bit more… but you’ll have to go read it yourself. (You can do that in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if some lighter-weight HTML suits you.)(Louis Wu 18:40:40 UTC)

Tashi’s Weekly Montage Series – S2E1

Mar 1, 2012

by

Tashi’s Weekly Montage Series is back – he’s released Season 2, Episode 1. It’s 2 minutes of clips that have all been collected in the past 7 days. (That’s the significance of the ‘Weekly’ in the title – much more than the actual frequency of releases.) Man’s very, very good with a sniper rifle… and there’s even an Overkill in the mix! You go, Tashi.(Louis Wu 14:33:19 UTC)
