Bungie Jokes Around as Halo 2 Goes Offline

Found this on Kotaku.

If you didn't know, Microsoft is shutting down the Live capabilities for original Xbox games.  The biggest loss?  Halo 2.  Yeah, people have still been playing it and if you want to online, today is your last day!  And to go out with a bang, Bungie had a little fun with those pre-game news thingys in the bottom left corner.

These cracked me up, and thanks to gamer Cmonty06 who took the photos.  Enjoy the one above and nine more after the jump!

Cake Wrecks is one of my favorite sites.  Today was posted a very gamer friendly series of wedding cakes in an homage to classic NES and old school video game culture.  Enjoy here.

A side note.  Now, I loved my wedding, and despite it not being perfect, I wouldn't change a thing ... except maybe one.  Here's what I would have done for my groom's cake now that I know it can be done well:
