There's nothing quite like a blast from the past to finish off your Friday, which is the exact reason why you should sit back, relax, and press play on this video. Featuring Phurion's Halo 2 gameplay set to a super smooth soundtrack, there's definitely not a shortage of incredible snipes or crazy spawn sticks in this expertly edited montage. By the way, you'll want to keep an eye out for the unusual way he uses the explosive barrels. I'm not saying it's awesome, but I am saying it's AWESOME.

Friday Caption Fun 4

bs angel

Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for a screenshot featuring two Spartans sitting in the cab of a civilian transport truck. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

Halo: Reach Screenshot


"It's not pink. It's lightish red." -SMiles2112
"I knew I should have taken a left at the Scarab." -Raymond Horn
"This isn't the DeLorean? Now I guess you're gonna tell me you're not Doc?" -War Wizard 01
Spartan 1: "This is a lousy first date." Spartan 2: "Well, how was I supposed to know that the Covenant would invade Reach?!" -Paul515storm
"World's Wildest Truckers: Planet Reach Edition." -fourteetwo
"You ever wonder why we're here?" -Christopher 'T-Rex' Moore
"So uh.. how do we Reach our destination again?" -erickyboo
"Kicking in the front seat!" -Noel Gomes



That picture is an entire week old now, so let's retire it for a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is a picture that shows a less than desirable situation. For Blue Team, anyway. Soak in the screenshot, then hit the appropriate thread to leave your witty and relevant quip. Off you go!

Halo at Canwest



If you could sneak a peek at our Mister Chief-themed calendar, you'd see that we'll be out and about this weekend as we're planning on attending RvBCanWest—a fan event in Vancouver, BC for all things video games. Officially taking place April 29th - May 1st, I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that Sunday attendees will get to see some never-before-seen motion comics. I can say, however, that there is a 100% chance of that happening. Hope to see you there!

Watching Achievement HORSE—an ongoing video series where Jack and Geoff face off in various Forge World festivities—is always a laughtacularly good time. This week's episode is especially entertaining, though, as some of the maps are truly spectacular. Press play, soak in the expletive-laced shenanigans, and keep an eye out for the Tetris-themed playspace. Type A, anyone?
