Friday Caption Fun, Round 54

halo 3 screenshotIs everybody recovered from the craziness that was Bungie Day? While I may not have worn a tutu, I did manage to play Halo significantly longer than I normally do on a Tuesday. Ten hours longer as a matter of fact, which is nothing compared to the 24-hour marathoners, you crazy sleep-deprived fanatics you! Assuming you can put down your controller, let’s go over last week’s responses and then we can caption another screenshot. Then I’ll let you get back to your precious Halo, promise!

  • “IT’S A VAMPIRE GRENADE! LOOK! NO SHADOW!” (Louis Wu)
  • “So THAT’S what a dingledodie is…” (Phaedrus)
  • “This recently declassified video shows the problems with the first version of the bubble shield.” (General Vagueness)
  • “Number 6’s attempt to escape ‘The Sandtrap’ was thwarted once again by the mysterious ‘Rover’ bubble.” (Mr Viper)
  • “Bet you can’t stick it.” (Gin)
  • “The SPARTAN jawbreaker. For REAL men!” (DarkerNukes)
  • “Grey Spartan immediately regretted hesitating to answer Plasma Grenade’s question of whether or not she ‘looked fat in this casing’.” (Tactful)
  • “I carried the big bomb, so there is no fucking way your getting me to hold on to this.” (Loadedevildude)


Can you imagine actual plasma grenades that size? While I’m sure my teammates would do everything in their power to make sure I didn’t lay a hand on them, it really would be a dream come true. All those choppers wrecking havoc on Sandbox that I manage to stick? There’s no way they would survive after those suckers exploded! Another thing they probably wouldn’t survive is this particularly nasty battle rifle-wielding opponent. I know there’s a lot of potential in this screenshot so get to captioning!

    Bungie has decided that not only will Halo: Reach supplant the book, it will introduce a new Covenant race, the most vicious of them all and capable of using every weapon in the game. Nintendo is rumored to have accused them of corporate espionage.

    The headshot concerns with Elites were nothing compared to this new mulitplayer model, especially given people believing they were shooting at an eye.
