Hey Shacknews, it’s time for Weekend Discussion. Let’s officially close out our weekend!

**Your daily dose of sudoku**
Wakka wakka?

**The Halo Speedrun Bet**
This is fantastic. Prototyping is an important step, but why? The development process is littered with the corpses of semi-good ideas. More Halo speedrunning goodness makes me think I need to replay the Halo trilogy again.
Meanwhile, old mate is making great stuff outside. I’m glad we as a society haven’t lost these forms of creation.

**Bubbles Pop**
This is a wild situation.

**LegalEagle looks at the TwitchCon Situation**
This was a dreadful thing to have happened. Why does it continue to happen?

– The Bouncing Souls
