Man... I hate it when a game has a shit ton of little 10-15 point acheivements.
There are 18 ahcievments that only net you 5 points each. None of which can be unlocked together.
I just picked up Armored Core for Answer for 20 bucks at gamestop, cause I love robots and own almost every AC game.
The acheivements however are brutal. One of them is to win 10,000 online matches and another is to have 10,000 online kills! That would take like 5 fucking years
Hardcore mech games have hardcore achievements.

We've been having a lack of broken faces lately. And I can pinpoint it to one thing:
Ratsult's Xbox dying.
See? I have a chart.
Not only have we lost an elite brethren, more kids these days are playing Halo and not having their faces broken. This an issue we must address. Microsoft turned him down for a warranty a long time ago, and now it's time to make like AIG and get Ratsult a new Xbox.
Now I'm kind of relying on this working due to our numbers. You see, all we need to do is buy him a core since AFIAK his HDD is still good (and even if it isn't, he can recover his account to the included memory card) Plus Viscount, who last time I checked will be the actual one to buy the Xbox, will also get an employee discount.
Here's the dollar amounts we need:
If 30 people put money in, that's 7$ per person.
If 20 people put money in, that's only 10$ per person.
10 people can do this with 20$.
This is the least I can help organize after all of you gave me endless Live codes throughout Halo 2 so that I could play when I didn't have a steady source of income.
To start the drive, I'm going to put in 30$. 20$ of it to start off, and 10$ from the points I was going to give out for the Xmas contest but nobody entered, so I guess I'm officially calling off the screenshot portion of that contest because nobody has even bothered to submit games from either the PA or HBO sides of it.
Also for your money, I'll give you one raffle entry in my Halo 3 recon contest for every 5$ you put in.
Also, Ratsult is under no obligation to pay any of this back, however if he wishes to do so, we will keep records of who put in what and give it to him if he asks. If you want, you can also include that your donation is anonymous.
For now, I just want people to 'pledge' their money. Set aside the money you want to throw in the pot in your sock drawer or something, and then PM me and/or viscount (seperate our names with semicolons in the PM interface) with the amount. This way will be a lot easier to figure out once we actually reach 200$.
tl;dr In 2009, Faces will be broken again. Also, I'm debuting a new sig to keep track of this.
edit: yes, I know it's a Halo 2 arm bar. I always thought it looked better than halo 3's.
edit: update, someone has already pledged 10$.
edit2: and another for 20$! I'm just going to keep Paint.NET open.
edit3: another 20!
edit4: 5 bucks! Every time I go to close paint.net I get dramatic last-second PMs! However, I'm done updating the sig for tonight. Force refresh (Ctrl-F5) if it's still stuck at somethin <85$
edit5: 60$? METAL GEAR?!?!? Either way, 145$, but I don't have the source sig file on this computer
edit6: 10$! and updated image finally.
edit7: 45$ and we are done.

Here's a transcript of a voice message I received after winning a game of Lone Wolves:
"You know every kill you got was a fucking fluke anyways, you only spawned in the right places at the right time, that's why you won, you little fucking queer. Go suck on a VEINY. FAT. FUCKING. COCK. You little prick."
Guy was REALLY upset.
EDIT: After I replied with a text of "Have a nice day!", he got even angrier, calling me all sorts of vile things and mentioning something about pulling my mike out of my ass. Guy sounds like he's about to have a heart attack.

Some people can't take losing well. Lone wolves is partially luck, which is why I frown on people calling it "All skill" I get angry when I feel cheated by latency or when the connection decides to blackscreen a teammate.
Some people just need to put the damned controller down and realize, its just a game. Its not worth getting angry over.

I remember played a round of social slayer with some of you guys. I think it was me, Dix, Skutskut, and maybe celstial ghost? I'm not sure about the 4th person.
Anyway, we were playing on ghost town and the first thing I did was grab the rocket laucnher and hide in the center building.
The 2nd guy I killed in there had the shotgun, so I picked it up and continued to camp the building.
I ended up with a perfection that game I think. with something like 24 kills myself, and the other team maybe had 18 kills total.
Later, I got a message from their top scorer (8 kills I think), telling me how much of a bitch I am, and that he would rape me one on one.
If we get it done by tonight we'll have completed the task before a Neutral Bomb game has ended!

I sent a friend request to the TBK list ~7 days ago...I guess it's full up? If anyone wants to play, feel free to send me an invite. I'm getting kinda tired of not having a consistent group of people to play with, and the lack of clan support is a bummer that I really don't understand. I loved playing clan matches in Halo 2.

What made the message I got last night so strange was the way he sounded. I've gotten trash talking messages before, but this guy truly sounded like he hated me, like he was mentally unstable. He was breathing hard and just sounded deranged, like he was about to go apeshit. All he did was camp with the sword, he wasn't even close to 1st, he finished 5th or something.

oh you want to be on the list of lurkers? be my guest.
Honestly the idea of a clan list is a good idea on paper, but too many people that never play with us take up space on it and we all already have the usual crew on our own friends lists.
So yeah if you really want to play with us we'll let you and if your not a dumbass/dick we'll show you a good time, but be assertive
With the money I'm saving by not being able to go to TBKon, I was able to chip in a pretty good donation to the "Help Ratsult Break Faces" fund... WE MISS YOU RATSULT AND YOUR ENCYCLOPEDIC KNOWLEDGE OF KING OF THE HILL ZONE CHANGES!
I remember back in the day when I had to cancel my 2-months, they'd always ask me to make sure 'a family member or friend doesn't want to use the account'.

So i just got a 360 last week and yesterday finished the halo 3 campaign on normal, and i would like to try some multy or coop, is anyone willing to play with a total newb??
Man, we actually ran into a group of HLG fucks (the kids that get ahead in a match and hide). Forced a tie right at the end. I can't believe people actually sign onto Halo and look forward to wasting 10 minutes hiding.

Maybe if Wulf could try, I dunno, not being a confrontational jackass for once in his miserable excuse for an existence, he'd be able to interact without everyone wishing he'd piss off.
Also, how much does it annoy him to know that Imran's going to wind up being a more complete human being than he'd ever hope of being?
Oh damn, I better go write in my journal.

I need to level an account to 50 and start making money o_O
And the fact that they put the gamertag on there, makes it pretty sure that the account is going to get banned.
I wish Objective was that popular
edit: and Halo 2 has suddenly stopped hovering at around ~3,000 players a day and as of today is holding ~15,000 players per day

I reported it because, fuck that guy. thats not anyway to earn 50$
Speaking of $$$, I'm willing to put in 60$ to help get ratsult his 360.

probably why i'm not pro
well, cooler heads prevail. You are much more consistent because you don't get mad. I get worse in someways and better in others when I get mad.
awesome

This thread went to an awesome place where two boosters admit to it and then claim "its not a big deal" I'm waiting for some B-net slapdown to happen.
Thread is now locked, I hope one of the two morons got banned. His post was deleted.
Really, this is very cool guys. Awesome, indeed.
Well, We want you back.
Will pay for ratsult skillz :P

When calling to tell them I didn't want my Jimmy account to renew, they asked why and I told them I had another regular account.
He then asks, "Are you sure you don't want to keep this account to practice on?" :P
