Dropshock Brigade Week-in-Review 6
Posted by Iris on July 26 2010 01:42AM
Hey everybody, it's your favorite Sergeant coming to you with the Week-In-Review. While I was out for a bit, I found out it was Scragg and 223 who were stealing from my secret fridge, so they're in the closet, bound and gagged to each other. Don't worry, I'll let them out when this is over with. So...let's see what's going on in our beloved Brigade, shall we?
Announcements and Forum Updates! Vitamin has made a number of announcements. Nothing extremely big, but still, worth noting. He's shown us new things that our site could have...but we can't. Now, for Recruits, there is now a drop-down box that can be used to select your sponsor and recruiter. Also, when you are now on a Leave of Absence, you can now simply click a button and you will be set back to being active again. "+1 step towards having everything being automated, and having officer not have to do anything," says Vitamin. Way to go and put more of the work on Serina. Real cool, man. As for his last announcement, he requests, but does not demand, donations for the site. We need to raise 80 USD. Check out the announcement thread for more details. Oh, and lastly, you might've noticed the three clocks to the left under the Calender. Vote for your favorite. And you might've seen that the forum icons have had a graphical revamp. Hurray for Vitamin's spare time.
Let's see...next up on the list are enlistments. Sadly, no new enlistments from last week. Get to recruiting, men! Who knows, you might walk away with a few ribbons on your chest.
Let's see...promotions...demotions...nothing. Maybe next week. Although I hope I don't see any demotions.
A few interesting threads created this week:
-Ventura's rant about people who diss parkour. It's a nice laugh if you know what they're talking about.
-Comic-con violence! Somebody gets shanked by a pen. Full story in the thread, thanks to 223.
-Reactive talks about fast food. Learn about a few joints that you never even knew existed.
-Halo: Reach! A big Forge-related update has been released in a form of a vid-doc. Forgers rejoice! Check it out in Welsh's thread in the Reach forum.
-Sadly, McKenzie has canceled his Middle-Age themed tournament. He declares himself winner. I call shenanigans.
Not much else extremely interesting going on in other threads, but still, take a good look. You'll never know what you find.
Graphics and Videos! You'll always find something unique in here.
Lot's of music this week. Ventura and 223 seem to be having a music fight...and Equinox sings about his favorite officer, Syphex. Added to this mix of humor, are some serious songs which you might get into.
In the videos, our old friend, Drake, posts about a demonic clock. Not for the faint-hearted. Taxadox also posts a video of a rather large WoW player threatening Ex-Guildies. I would have been scared to death.
In Graphics...not much new stuff...except for Reactive's Halo Wars signature. Keep on photo-shopping bro.
Well, that's all for this Week-in-Review. I'm gonna go take a look in my secret stash...see if I can find anything to eat. Although...I can't stop feeling like I'm forgetting something...oh well. Iris, out.
p.s 3rd platoon rules.
