GodlyPerfection just made his awesome Forge Lessons into a sweet PDF document! This is going to be great for people like Hedge to view at their leisure on sunny mornings, over coffee and bacon, with their finest smoking jacket on, watching the girls frolic on the trampolines across from the grotto. No really, it’s that good. Go and get them here. (GrimBrother One 05:46:11 UTC)

I must say, I really love it when bs angel makes things easy. 343’s Community Manager has put together a handy Waypoint Weekly Roundup to help you catch up on content you might have missed on their web portal. Nice! (GrimBrother One 05:32:11 UTC)

The Waypoint blog has a cool video from one of the 405th. If you ever wondered how you might go about making Spartan-shaped trophies… wonder no more. (GrimBrother One 05:30:52 UTC)
