    I only really brought that up because Kor was singing it one day, then he posted the video of the song.

    I have yet to even get the mailing label. My Xbox is sitting next to me. But apparently it's already on it's way to MS.

    Two possibilities:
    1)Since its microsoft and they are screwy when it comes to certain stuff, They sent the label and the next step is for you to ship your console.

    2) someone stole your label and is using it fraudulently.

    also update went up

    all bungie pro renders are going to be deleted on monday, so download the .wmv of the ones you like

    on monday all Bungie Pro subscribers will be given entry, including people that got it off maps. So if you bought Mythic you're in the beta come monday.

    gun reticules added to new renders


    johnson lines from firefight



    not weekly-update related:

    shishka said july update will rework weighting so more of the 'single map' gametypes like Run for Cover will come up more. Apparently currently the gametypes are of equal weighting, but since the slayer gametypes have more maps available, they come up more (because it counts each gametype+map pair as a possible choice).

    So, I'm grocery shopping. I go with my mom since carpooling is a much better use of gas, so we're walking around. I'm grabbing my groceries.

    We go through an aisle, and get to the end. She goes "Ha!". Perplexed, she then asks me


    "Do you like peanut butter?"

    I'm like why yes I do for the past 25 years whatdoyouthinkyesilovepeanutbutter

    she brings this up to me with a grin on her face and laughing.

    She ended up buying it and giving it to me.

    That woman is a card I'll tell you what

    The desktop is created entirely with customized Rainmeter configurations sitting on top of a Halo 3 wallpaper. Here's his overview of the configuration:
    Grenades - Each grenade launches a specific application. I currently have them set to, from left to right, Pidgin, Steam, Foobar, and Firefox.
    Power Drainer - Opens a Shutdown menu. You can choose Shutdown, Restart, and Sleep
    Health Bar - Displays current track progress, with artist and title above it.
    Battle Rifle and Ammo Count - Displays current unread message count from Gmail and the Battlerifle opens Gmail.
    Ammo Clip - Top clip is download traffic; bottom clip is upload traffic.
    Radar - As of now, all this does is download and save an image for the local radar from Weather Underground. I'm currently editing a GIMP script which will automatically crop and edit the picture to display properly upon download. What you see here is the intended look. It also displays the current temperature.
    Time and Game Type - Display current time and date.
    Blue Score and Red Score - Display current CPU and RAM usage.
    Player Callsigns - These behave just like my TweetScanner skin.
    Battlerifle Ammo Count - Displays current battery status; it displays 0 in this picture because I'm using my desktop which is not on a battery.
    Also, the visor outline is done in Rainmeter as well.

    He's fine, he's just got a summer job. He's a warden at a boarding school, so effectively he just has to put some kids to bed and can sleep the rest of the time. Unfortunately, for now at least he has no Internet, and there's no television or Xbox there either (the, poor, poor, children... *sob*).

    So yeah.

    As I mentioned in passing yesterday when the topic came around to computers (duh to Lookfree's crazed desire to see me in TF2), my brother is visiting my house for two weeks as on this Tuesday. Naturally, he will endeavor to assume control of my 360 for the entirety of his stay despite his promise that he will only take it while I am at work or school.

    So if it seems like I mysteriously vanished from the face of Live, blame my egotistic elder brother.

    It's a waste of time run by somebody that doesn't even play Halo.

    The Halo LAN at PAX is a much more enjoyable experience and not a waste of time.
