Friday Caption Fun, Round 65

halo 3 screenshotIf you feel like flying solo this weekend, you’ve got a few different choices currently available to you. You can brave the world of Firefight alone or you can dust off Halo 3 to score some double experience Mythic Brawl action. If all you’re craving is some crazy caption fun, then look no further because you have officially reached your destination! Let’s recap last week’s responses and then I’ll let you loose on yet another entertaining Halo screenshot.

  • “The Arbiter’s attempt to woo the baby with, “Peekaboo, I see you!” didn’t quite go as planned…” (ElusiveEagle)
  • “Not the gumdrop buttons!!!!” (Terminator182)
  • “LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, I’M NOT LISTENING!! LA LA LA LA LA” (A Shaky Shotgun)
  • “The Arbiter learns the hard way that he should knock first when visiting his grandparents.” (JLay)
  • “Arbiter never expected Kanye to back him up like that, especially during Master Chief’s acceptance speech!” (DethPwn)
  • “The Arbiter upon discovering that Bungie had originally designed an expansion featuring him as the main character, only to discard it for H3: ODST.” (Arby)
  • “YOU DIDN’T TAKE THE KEYS FOR THE WARTHOG FROM JOHNSON???” (Zerowind117)
  • “The Arbiter reacted poorly to rumors that, instead of Marty O’Donnell, it would be Vanilla Ice scoring the “Halo: Reach” soundtrack.” (Anton P. Nym)


I don’t really see a Vanilla Ice Reach soundtrack as being all that bad. After all, he’s been sending words to your mother since before Bungie even developed an interest in her. While he may rock the mic like a vandal, the ODST in the following screenshot is rocking something completely different, and that would be a horse. Go ahead and tell me your interpretation of the picture, preferably in the form of a witty caption please!

    As the covenant horde lay seige to the United Nations HQ, Rookie took a defensive position on top of one of the many Hilary Clinton statues that littered the place.

    The latest patch to ODST adds Sarah Jessica Parker as a playable character.

    —–

    The Rookie was having a hell of a time, until Buck punched it in the face.

    —–

    This wasnt the first time a squad member had ridden a dirty, horse-faced beast; Buck and Dare used to be an item.

    —–

    The Rookie’s dyslexia proved to be the downfall of the bachelor party when the ‘dirty whores’ arrived.

    —–

    If it gets hungry you can feed it a carrot, and if it behaves badly you can whip it. Taking care of Dare is pretty easy!

    `”It seems that Leeroy Jenkins was somehow able to carry some items with him from WoW into Halo 3. Some were more strange than others.

    -As the Rookie noticed several clicks coming from the helmet cameras of his fellow squad-mates, he realized that this was not exactly the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    ‘ -The Rookie found a new, strange, and surprisingly effective way to avoid chieftains.
