Here Are Your Words
Guess what. Go ahead, guess.

No, that's not it. And that's a combination of creepy and gross.
The actual answer was that I forgot that today was Sunday! Which means I forgot that today is the day that I am required to write words and stuff onto your internets and things. Mainly the latter though. Go check out the wall in the hallway. Yeah that's right. I crayon'd your wall. And I blamed you too.

Being that I forgot, and I have previously arranged engagements at five o'clock my time, I shall have to keep this one short.

Quick shout out to RightSideTheory, our newest journalist. Thanks for covering my butt a few weeks ago and posting the site update on my behalf. You rock!

Contests. Contests Everywhere.

http://www.forgehub.com/forum/announcements/140298-flag-reset.htmlhttp://www.forgehub.com/forum/announcements/141099-1v1-smackdown-round-2-a.htmlhttp://www.forgehub.com/forum/announcements/140973-hub-dead-iii.html

I felt silly having three contest header images almost directly below the site update header image, so I made them links and did ultimate photochopz to them! Now I feel less silly, which is good. Because we all know that sillyness is almost as bad as unsillyness. Don't worry, that sentence makes sense if you don't think about it.

Our Smackdown competition is well on it's way! Round three map Grotto is your current assignment if you've made it this far. Be sure to get your games in before the deadline!

I'll only touch breifly on this contest as it's been floating around our forums for a while now. However, it is worth noting that you only have ONE WEEK to complete your entrees for this contest. Put those spawn points down, and test test test! Again I say you only have ONE WEEK before they're due. Already finished with your entree? Go submit it here if you haven't already.

That's right! Our shining star of a contest is back once again for it's final installation! Well, final within Halo: Reach, that is. We've seen some glorious glorious maps come out of this competition and thought it would only be fair to get this contest up and running one last time for the game that has kept us all together the last couple of years. Direct your browser right on over to this location hyar for all of the details!

Covy Weapons!A while ago when they released the other Halo 4 weapons video it didn't even cross my mind that it didn't include Covenant weapons. Anyway, shiny toy guns in the video below!

Halo 4: Covenant Weapons - YouTube

I cannot wait any longer for Halo 4. I just can't! D:

Rock the Vote

Rock the vote. Don't rock the vote baby. Rock the vote. Don't tip the vote over! Talk about important votes these days! This one is probably the most important of them all! I mean, who do we want representing us? Who has the best potential? Who are YOU voting for?*

Here are your options
Altar | Le Muskets | Pendant | Relapse | Serum

*Substitute all "who has/who are/who do" with the appropriate form of "which" and substitute all "you"'s with "map".

The Guild:

Because I cannot bring myself to writing the same information in a slightly different way again, have some copypasta from RST! Yay RST!

[l-col]The Tester’s Guild: among the piles of armor and glistening weapon racks you’ll find a large number of Hubbers march into the digital battlefields and test the crap out of your newly crafted map. The guys in the Tester’s Guild may have personalized opinions, but each is capable of giving you input both on things they enjoyed and disliked about your map, helping you achieve a perfect gameplay balance before you post your newly polished battlefield here in our map database. Should you want them to give your map a run through, redirect your browser to this forum here, read the posting guidelines, and set yourself up for success through the men at work behind the scenes in the Tester’s Guild. Enjoy playing Halo? Enjoy giving map creators input? Work for the Guild![/l-col][r-col]Every so often (every other Friday to be exact) a selection of refined and scholarly individuals from our forums host an evening full of custom games and shenanigans. Depending on what those individuals choose to host, whether it be competitive, casual, infection, invasion, mini-game oriented or a mix of them all is up to these bastions of fun, but it's up to you which of these lobbies you join. Sit back, put your feet up, throw back that shot-glass full of Jack Daniels, and enjoy a night with cool dudes from all around the world. If you'd like to host your own official lobby for our next TGIF, send a private message to me, RightSideTheory, with all the details below filled out. Also note that you'll also be on your way to your glistening blue rank of TGIF Host, if you can keep it up for four awesome parties in a row.[/r-col]

Question of the Site Update:

[l-col]Last time RST asked you all a very deep and meaningful question. Some responded with equal deep meaningfulness, but naturally other ... less meaningful responses were dropped as well.

This time I'll leave you with a different question, something a little bit more "Zen" so to speak, if you'll allow me one silly word per article.

How many roads must a man walk down, if he only takes the roads less traveled by?

[/l-col][r-col]

Taking the road less traveled? He walks until he feels content and is at a place that calls to his heart.

A man will walk on no roads until his feet hurt.
A man will walk on roads until he reaches his destination.
But a man from a thousand years ago, will walk until he is told not to.

My answer to your question; is which man are you?

[/r-col]

This time around Tz dropped by to pick your brains.

  • What funny or sad moments have you had while playing any Halo game?

  • What are you guys looking forward to in this next edition of Halo?

  • If you could be a forge object. What would you be and why?
