Halo: Reach Game Night - The Screenshots, The Captions, The Winner

I already figured out how to hate some of you Bitmob community members without ever having to meet you, thanks to last Friday's Bitmob Game Night and Halo: Reach.

If your Gamertag is listed on my "killed most by" screen, you qualify. If you captured a screenshot of me dying in some embarrassing way, you also qualify.

And that's what some of you did for our Halo: Reach screenshot/caption contest. We asked you to take your favorite screens using the in-game tools, then caption and post them to Bitmob. Here they are, with our favorite one all the way at the bottom. That member wins a Halo: Reach briefcase filled with some random swag!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and to all who participated in this story. We all had a lot of fun. And I hate some of you still.

And our winner:

After pummeling Ixthus86 (Mark T. Whitney) off of a cliff, Bitmob Rich (Rich McGrath) says a silent prayer to the Flying Spaghetti Monster for his fallen brethren. Unbeknownst to him, his own fate is sealed as three crimson assailants draw near. (Mark T. Whitney)

The thing I remember most from that night was when I first got into the party and then immediately proceeded to kill Shoe three times in a row. I wasn't trying, honest! He just kept appearing in front of me as I respawned.

He did get me back by stealing victory from me in the fuel rod gun madness, though.

I'm in the middle of a business trip and I'm still super-depressed that my hotel didn't have internet so I wasn't able to post and join the competition. I would like to take this opportunity to share two of my favorites from that night. I hope we can have another Reach game night soon. It was a blast.

A desperate escape, worthy of any 80's action movie.

When scoring skulls, don't forget to boogie. Shimmy and shaking also acceptable.

Jeremy...you must be one of the guys I talked about in the intro!

Tom: Those are great screens! How can your hotel not have Internet??

This is going to sound silly, but how do you upload screenshots from the game onto the site? I'm guessing I go to Bungie.net? I'd like to post a couple that I found to be amusing. Of course Shoe and Brett are the stars of the photos!

Hey Louis: In Reach, you'll have to go to the theater to capture movies/screenshots first -- the system will save your last few games, but you have to manually capture the media yourself to save them. Then, by uploading them to your file share, you should be able to access them via your account on Bungie.net. Then you can just link to them here via the article editor (if you're making a new post).

Any questions? Check Bungie.net or online FAQs. They can explain it better than I can. :)

This was an awesome time.
