    “Spartan Blue soon realized that cleaning your visor with an Energy Sword wasn’t the best of ideas.” –AJakway
    “Citizens of Earth and her colonies! We need YOU to camp in the vent shaft on Sword Base! Enroll TODAY!” –That Gunslinger
    “Well, at least now we know what happened to Jun….” –ArchedParasite
    “Humans never die, they’re just infected in action.” –AlfaSirius
    “After getting a splinter in his ear, Jim asked Bill to help get it out. Unfortunately, tweezers were unavailable. –xDeAdlYxGh057xx
    “When he said laser eye surgery, this was NOT what he had in mind.” –Omza
    “Bet you can’t stick it.” –THOMSY Aus
    “Are you sure this is how you clean your ears?” –Windwalker Rangel
    “I used to be a Spartan like you, but then I took an Energy Sword to the face….” –Skylar Stewart



    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 a rather fishy scene. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

    Frankie himself stopped by with news that the slightly-belated Halo Bulletin is now live. This week’s edition features a very cool look at some of the game’s audio production, complete with a new OHI entry by Audio Director for Halo 4, Sotaro Tojima. There’s a very cool video featuring some audio capture in the field as well. Check it out! (As of this moment, Wu hasn’t finished his pottery class, so there isn’t a local version just yet, but when he’s done, I’m sure he’ll put one up between popping bon-bons.) Update: Mmmm, those bon-bons were good! The local version is here. -lwu(GrimBrother One 23:12:11 UTC)

    Triple the Huragok - A Fan-made Plushy


    From LegendofVelotron:

    A friend of mine and I had been role-playing on my Halo fansite. Basically, Legend was a human civilian captured by the Covenant. She’d learned how to hack, and they began using her for her abilities. At that time, a Huragok became her only companion, helper, and friend. Later, Legend was ‘rescued’ by Spartans, and the Huragok ended up going with them. She came up with the name Triple, for the three pairs of eyes he had.

    And so, my own journey began in a fabric store, searching for material that matched the colors of an image of the Huragok Vergil. After several days of sewing that caused my right thumb and index finger to be VERY sore, I present my finished work, and new friend, Triple.

    In case you were wondering, his back makes a really comfy pillow!
