    I saw the "Why is Halo popular?" thread on the first page and just rolled my eyes.

    God damn, it's been like eight years. Let it go.

    Skateboarding fan or not check out the first video. Skip to about 1:50 for the good stuff in the second one.

    And I may actually make an appearance on halo to grif my balls in about 15 minutes.

    I shall be on in about a half hour. Surprisingly dull today, despite the release of Potter; there was only one big rush for the last showing of the day, but nothing that lasted over twenty minutes. More than likely, it was the average number of showings (it's 2.5 hours long, so there's not many chances to play it despite having three theatres to itself) coupled with it being a weekday that resulted in a smaller rush.

    Oh well, game time.


    Also, I dunno which is funnier about that fist bump picture in the trolling thread; Fyre and Kor fist bumping to begin with, or them doing so after killing Thrill.

    Ugh. I'm not even going into that thread. You know good and well what it's going to devolve into.
    I'll probably be getting on for some Halo soon.

    I'm gonna teabag you so hard. I'll be a spy on the other team and be like "whoops.jpg" sorry fyre!

    I'm also emailing the Sheraton to confirm this. They claimed it would be done in fall 2008 so it should be 100% now. It was just bad timing for pax 2008. I went up and looked as far as I could, it was pretty well torn up but getting there quickly last year.

    I went off and made my own game, with blackjack and hookers. (aka 1943)

    Then I rejoined to listen to Tomcat and Spidey singing "I Can Show You the World" from Aladdin, as well as "Hakuna Matatta".

    That was basically the best thing ever. We start raging and then start talking about how we will beat them anyway and then we talk about how boring it is staring at a black screen and then we are amazed that the bomb is reset.

    The images of my most shameful misjudgement.

    Ok this first shot is the toss. Impossible to tell if I made a good nade toss (I usually do with vehicles) from the picture buuuut.

    35718353.jpg
    Good nade toss indeed. Text book. Assessing his launch in the heat of the moment I thought I had a good shot at beating him down.

    The hog hit the top of the slope in such a way my whole plan was foiled. In this shot you can see my failed melee, and can see I was fucked with an axle, wheel, and wheel well.

    Blegh.

    Also knocking that hog off Avalanche for the triple was hilarious.

    Especially the part where it was trying desperately to cling onto the edge.

    Also I need to find a clan we can have a friendly clan match with. Being undefeated so far due to other clans/forums losing or just plain resigning/chickening out is boring :( I mean, it was amusing assimiliating the VGCats creator for that one night..

    I could probably find some Norwegian clan for us to humiliate, I don't know how friendly a game like that would end up being though, since they're all MLG kids and srs bsns.

    We played with the VG Cats guy once? When?

    Also I need to check my internet settings on the 360, I think I did something a bit wrong which resulted in all those party kicks and the two game kicks. Haven't had any problems with other games, so it may just be that Halo didn't like me these past few days. Nevertheless, I'll still check.

    You know, since we tend to have so many people on. Why not just have a friendly match against ourselves?

    We could easily field a 5v5 maybe even a 6v6/7v7 on a good night. Just jump into some customs (Maybe Social Slayer/Skirmish if it's 5v5), try to make the teams even, and play a few matches.

    We could go back in forth from normal Slayer/CTF/Assault/Territories games on regular maps to things a bit more unique like Run for Cover/Dodgeball/Griffball/etc on custom made maps.
