Earlier today we finally got the chance to catch up on the live action webisode series, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
The series, made by Machinima, and based on the Halo gaming series, started October 5, with episodes two and three coming out on the following Fridays.
For the most part we are following a squad of cadets at one of the UNSC's military academies.
Cadet Lasky being our focus, we see his struggles to stay in the academy and get along with his fellow cadets.
At the same time we see glimpses of Master Chief frozen in a ship, and Commander Lasky attempting to rescue him.
So far the series is off to a great start, the short fifteen to twenty minute episodes leave you wanting more.
A mass shooting occurred at Azana Salon and Spa, across the street from Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin, just after 11am CDT, Sunday. Three people were killed in the attack and four were treated at Froedtert Hospital, with non critical injuries.
What is believed to be an improvised explosive device was found on the scene of the shooting, leading to bomb squad involvement. SWAT teams searched through the nine thousand square foot spa, not immediately finding a shooter, causing police to begin a manhunt.
The manhunt lasted a few hours before the body of the suspect was found somewhere in the building. He died of a self inflicted gun shut wound. During the manhunt Brookfield Square Mall, Westmoor Country Club, Froedtert Hospital, and the nearby Children's Hospital were all on lock down. Several roads in the were shut down.
Brookfield Square is located less than twenty miles from the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, which experienced a mass shooting, in August. Another mass shooting took place just a few blocks down the road from the mall, in March 2005.

Shophouse Southeast Asian Kitchen has had a successful first year in it's location at Dupont Circle, in Washington DC.
Now owner Steve Ells, who is also the owner of Chipotle, has announced two more expansions will be opened.
One of those will be in Georgetown, just about a mile away from the original location, the other will be clear across the country, in Los Angeles.
As the name of the restaurants state the food is southeast Asian focused, rather than all over Asia like Pei Wei, or just Chinese or Japanese like many places across the US.
It's based upon the same idea as Chipotle, with a line of staff creating your meal, step by step, prepping the food for you in moments.
The moves to expand it clear across the country have brought back talk that the new chain will eventually cover the country, just as Chipotle does.
