In celebration of our 700th episode and the feedback received on this panel at Halo: Outpost Discovery, we are pleased to invite the Event Programming Staff on the show to play in the Halo Game Show, featuring our Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud games. This panel was one of the most entertaining and well received panels on the content stage and we’re pleased to give it one final appearance. A word of caution, there is some suggestive language that may be unsuitable for young ears, but we have bleeped out the profanity as we normally do.
