    I would have been on but my Xbox is on a truck/plane somewhere.

    Also, by the way, every time I show the group picture to people they think Zeke is 40+ years old.

    I can't. I promised fyre that I wouldn't play until he got his box. Essentially, I will wait as long as he has to.

    I saw the RvB Rock the Vote promos on Live and thought to myself, "Oh yeah, Halo 3. Wonder whatever happened to that?"

    How was PAX? PAXtacular? I had a sliver of a chance to go, but I went to Lake Erie instead and got eaten alive by mosquitoes. On the whole, I'm sure your experience wasn't all that dissimilar.

    Also, what's the deal with this Mythic v1.2 update and Purple Reign?

    Purple Reign = Assembly

    It is a Covenant level, and is "kind of like" Midship, but bigger.


    We still don't know what Mythic is but current rumor is it will introduce new achievements somehow.

    At PAX, the menus for Halo 3 were new and awesome, and the Halo 3 logo had "Mythic" under it.

    I'm just hoping for more armor unlocks. New stuff, new sets... ect.. ect.

    I don't think armor unlocks are happening. Bungie was pretty firm on that. The issue is that you'd need to put the new armor into the old disc maps, therefore making it so unpatched Halo 3s would no onger be able to play with patched Halo 3s.

    Waffle, there may yet be hope for your Castle Crashers save data. Try signing out of your profile while in Castle Crashers, then log back onto it. Supposedly, it works.

    So I pretty much know everything I need to know. That's good. I still haven't ponied up for Legendary, seeing as 1) I don't have the free hard drive space anyway and 2) my life is a non-stop barrel roll of work and wedding preparations.

    Also, the map variations seem like a bad idea to me. They're taking their carefully crafted and tested maps and fucking with them for variety's sake.

    Halo 3 is lacking variety.

    Also we can't remove shield doors ourselves, or remove elephants. So basically, they're giving us legit mods that are actually useful instead of stilling 50 elites into a corne.r

    And they're constantly tweaking the spawns/weapons of maps anyway. Nothing drastic, but they have been doing it. the new Narrows has much improved spawns.

    My favorite quotes from PAX, by the way

    "You're not an asshole like you are on Live, Fyre" - Badman's GIRLFRIEND

    "You know the radar breaks Construct right?" - some dude in freeplay

    "Look at all the asians on this team. You guys are screwed." some asian dude in freeplay

    "Jesus christ, Free Bird is -still- in it's solo" - some dude in freeplay when me and X were playing GH2

    "What. the. fuck." - Zeke, midway through us getting reamed by MLG proz

    Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me. Unless I don't have a choice I will stick with sticking people with plasmas...or assault rifling my way up to them to beat them down. It's worked for me so far.

    So many shirt ideas.

    *How to use a battle rifle shirt.
    *Teabag the ninja shirt.
    *staff captain wrist bands
    *A shirt with the word representation of that funny elite dying sound.

    WE COULD MAKE HUNDREDS.

    Also, Rhoullet was flat out rude to me. I didn't want one of her tickets to win a 1tb drive. I was like "no, thats ok" And she responded with "BUT! ITS 1TB! THATS LIKE 1000GB!"

    And I walked away. The fragdoll team is better of without jinx. They have become rude and bitchy.

    It was the final day in the exhibition hall, ubisoft booth. It was just a ticket for a drawing at 5pm. I knew I wouldn't be there. she just didn't have to be rude. When you are trying to promote stuff, keep your stupid comments to yourself and be friendly.

    My distain for MLG has grown exceedingly during pax. I don't even care for it and I am actually against MLG. There is no point to "PRO GAMING" until the average joe shmoe says "wow, thats cool. I couldn't ever do that."

    Well, having been at the SC4 tournament the day before, the big thing that stands out for me is that I can watch Zeke and Nambkab play and pick up a tip or two at Halo 3 - I was watching SC4 players who shelled out for the Hori stick and be amazed that they're playing at a higher level than I was: the SC4 I played wasn't the same SC4 they could.

    My big sticking point with competitive FPSes is that when watching Zeke and Nambkab play, I picked up JUST a tip or two - and these guys are the best that TBK have, y'know? There really wasn't much difference between their play and mine, aesthetically - it looked like we played the same game, they were just way better at it than I am.

    If you've played the games, you can skip the novelization of the first game "Halo: The Flood" - you'll be better off for it, because while these are popcorn novels, that one's just horrible.

    "Fall of Reach" is pretty awesome, and "Contact: Harvest" is my pick as the best of the novels, but some of the others have good things to say about "Ghosts of Onyx."

    The graphic novel collection they put out is pretty cool - I wouldn't grab it unless you're a pretty die-hard Halo fan, though.

    Avoid the "Halo: Uprising" comic at all costs. Seriously. If you come across one in the wild, back away slowly.

    Yeah, I think my friend was telling me about Fall of Reach. I'll go check the series out on Wikipedia and figure out where to start.
