The best part of last night was shadow789 going 1-17 on Boardwalk BTB and blaming the game for shots that he completely missed. Oh, and you completely destroying his argument that "chief killed all the flood in the universe, they're not coming back in halo 4"

On a semi-related note, you guys have read the books, right? I've never read one, and am considering purchasing them. Is there any particular order I should read them in?

Wow, glad I missed that one...

 

[Retro]

Hah where did he post that.

I fixed one of his ranty bitch posts; http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35411482&postcount=12413

I hope enough of HaloGAF added him to their Friends List so we can get some hate over Live, at least.

 

[Ken]

Wow, glad I missed that one...

Sounds hilarious.

 

[Havok]

Sounds hilarious.

Less than you might expect, unfortunately.

Understated jabs were made, but few laughs were had.

He got a headshot every time, Team Cubic just cheated

 

[Fracas]

Wow, glad I missed that one...

I'm still not sure if listening to him was incredibly awesome, or painfully annoying, lol. As for his opinions, they weren't all bad (like AA's/bloom should die in a fire), but that one about the flood and story...you just can't come back from stupid stuff like that. I mean, at a certain point, he pretty much said that even though he was proven wrong multiple times by multiple people, he was still right no matter what.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

1.55.43 is the new SSX benchmark - but now I retire from the demo, I know this will be beaten and I just cant dedicate the time to it anymore lol.

Woah this thread is hilarious, you guys played with 789shadow last night lol?

Must (as in essential lore to the canon), in order:

Fall of Reach
Cryptum
First Strike
Contact Harvest
Ghost of Onyx
Glasslands

Best overall reads (in my opinion, in order):

Fall of Reach
Cryptum
Ghost of Onyx
First Strike
Evolutions

Chronological order:

Cryptum
Primordium
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghost of Onyx
Glasslands
Evolutions*

*Evolutions takes place all throughout the canon; it's a collection of short stories.

Haha I didn't necessarily want to play with him. I got on to play team doubles with Franklinator, and shadow789 sent me an invite. It worked out in the end though, got to play with Havok and Stalker.

I was temped to go play Halo 3 with him, I would have if I didn't have work to do lol. From the sounds of it I dodged a bullet.

Can HaloGaf distract Elzar with Halo Reach for a bit, get him off SSX please.

Elzar come play Reach with us! Remember all the good times you had on Reach?

Spoiler

Dammit, who am I kidding, just have fun on SSX

Which reminds me, I still have yet to go after a high score/time. Who's in the lead atm?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Was that guy still a junior?

Also, can't say he wasn't warned before he went on a ban hunting trip.

 

[Overdoziz]

Too many. We have no power. You have 2 guys in here who do though. They could make every playlist cycle ONLY your map if they wanted to.

David, Frankie, work your magic!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Bobs' you prick, that is an insanely fast time!

I'm bailing, I need my thumbs ready for the retail version. Than, it's on bitch! ; )

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Bobs' you prick, that is an insanely fast time!

Yeah I would suggest just forgetting about it, dont worry about it, go play Reach.

Spoiler

For the love of god dont you dare go faster.

1.55.43 is the current race benchmark. I think for tricking wwmonkey has like 28 million lol.

No, that's what surprised me about him. He said he'd only been a on GAF for 2 weeks but he was a member already.

I think he was on Gaf for a while, someone mentioned that he posts a lot in the advance wars thread. (I think.) He has a lucrative Gaf career, but like many, Reach was his downfall.

 

[kittens]

Otherwise Reach doesn't reveal the big twist like the Star Wars Prequels did.

Whoa, I never thought about that before. Makes me hate the prequels even more.

You know we're hard up for news when we're talking about some troll more than Halo.

We're allowed to talk about EA games again, guys! The eye of Devo has shifted its gaze. Rejoice.

 

[Homeboyd]

Speaking of hard up, lets see some more of those Cortana pics!


CHE CHAH!!!!

 

[Devolution]

This one is for you HaloGAF.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Anyone want to play some Halo: Reach?

[Miggytronz]

This one is for you HaloGAF.

so cold.

 

[The Henery]

Sometimes. But then people get mad and then it gets so good. I mean it's a lot more fun having close matches, but that hardly happens in Reach... For me anyway.

I love receiving angry messages on live...

High five. Someone who doesn't have tracing paper thin skin. Bet you don't mind 1-50 too!

 

[Falagard]

Hey Frankie, what exactly does Che do at 343i?

His twitter says he's Studio Producer - so from my experience at game development company, that means he orders pizza when people work overtime. Does that sound about right?

Anyone is welcome. Even you, Ram.

I might. Girlfriend is going to head out of town this weekend, so we'll probably hang out tonight.

What a jerk! He's never ordered me pizza.

please for the love of god play together.

 

[Steelyuhas]

It would escalate to violence pretty quick.

We have come to respect, love and deeply care for one another.

You can all be my wingmen/wingwomen anytime.

Even you Unky David!

Get on fool.

He has, Frankie just keeps stealing it though.

The rage is amazing. One time we matched against this one guy three separate times and he was trash talking from the start. We had two pretty terrible team mates, but managed to carry them and beat him in a close match. The whole game he was raging at us through proximity chat. In the post game lobby we couldn't help ourselves and just laughed at him, which made matters worse (for him). In subsequent games we kept beating him, the messages were amazing. I wish I could have recorded them :/

I like 1-50, definitely. Although I think Bungie's idea with Arena could have been great, stopping all the second accounts and boosters. If either your arena rank showed up in all playlists next to your name with the percentage in it like this:

OR more playlists had arena ranks and were more visible.

Sadly, what we got was an almost non existant ranking system that no one cared about.

Yes, what's your tag?

[Brolic Gaoler]

Or a demo of a snow boarding game...

 

[Hitmonchan107]

I absolutely love the Anniversary and TU gametypes. Kudos to 343 for that. My only issue right now is that I have no clue what I'm voting for, and I've only been gone from the game for two months.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Lol apparently he lied about that

Nah. He registered his GAF account at that day but it didn't mean that he is activated since it.

Whoa, I never thought about that before. Makes me hate the prequels even more.

Yeah. I never thought about it, too. But Gary Whitta mentioned it in the Tested Podcast two weeks back.

You don't count Primordium to the essential lore? It must definitely be added to the first list. Or can you argument why not? Because 3/5 of the book is boring? But the last few chapters are mindblowin'.

Mini game fun?

Hey that stuff gets pretty competitive lol

I'd like to play as soon as I wrap up some schoolwork

edit: especially now that there is mini game fun!

 

[kittens]

I really wanna get down on some customs tonight. I've had a long, shitty week, and I wanna dong. I'm not a big fan of mini games, but care free slayer or CTF sounds good to me.

I'll be on in three or four hours.
