Friday Caption Fun, Round 10

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to slap some silly captions on a random screenshot. First we need to recap last week’s submissions though.

Halo 3 ModTage

Modding has quite the negative reputation amongst the general gaming population, primarily because of all the random douchebags who cheated their way to a moon back in the days of Halo 2. Thankfully the frustration of spawning in the sky and being killed by a magic headshot before your feet even touch the ground are [...]
