Perhaps he got quite the telling off from that Oculus pic [but he is still a mission designer there afaik]?
Yeah, Dan still works there.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
He's joking.

Ah, thought there was a seed of truth that helped make it funny.
HE JOKES ABOUT NEOGAF? LET'S GIVE HIM A LESSON.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Nah, that whole thing was funny for multiple reasons. That picture was taken at my desk with my personal Oculus Devkit. Just another example on how easily things can be blown out of proportion in places where people generate discussion 24 hours a day. I sent our community team a heads up as it was breaking just as a heads up. When possible, I like to be a good corporate citizen.

Goddddddamnit I would be there but I will be at work super late. Just remember to keep your super-secret Tashi powers under control.
I'll probably be hopping on most nights.

I'll be on probably around 8-8:30 PDT
Customizable? You mean cosmetically? I mean yeah, I agree Reach's cosmetics are great, but how does that make it better?
EDIT: Oops, sorry. Just wanted a quick answer.
No, he meant as in all the traits of the gametype itself being open to customization. Reach Firefight had a ton of options.
Oh, I see. I've mostly played campaign when I got my fingers on Reach, so I didn't know.
Hm. I'm just as undecided as before. Because I have the opportunity in a couple weeks to get either ODST or Reach. I know I want to play both, obviously. Just asking some things about 'em.
Oh yeah, I forgot Proving Grounds was a thing. We tend to churn through the news so quick I forget when announcements actually take effect 
Got a game of HBO March Madness to play at 9PM EST and I'll probably be on for a while after that. Heard some good stuff about the playlist thus far and that means that it's probably party-required for fun times.
I'd say ODST, personally, as it has a short but stronger overall campaign and if you get people to play Firefight with you it's amazing. Reach Firefight you're going to be playing arcade style or solo anyhow so I'd pick the stronger FF overall.

Just checked the playlist info. Why in the fuck is Abandon in the map pool? What is the obsession with keeping that map in MM? Guess I know what I'll be making sure I never play in the playlist.
Also, Extraction is the new rotational playlist. Good stuff. Oh wait, multisite (read: boring) variants are still half the playlist. And Abandon again... seriously...

I guess I don't remember it having framerate issues... but that's the only nice thing I can say about it.

That's Adrift, which I find okay. Abandon is outdoorsy with a purple forest, an infinite drop down low ("beach") and a 3-story base in the middle with a lift.

No. Abandon's the even worse map:
MORE BOXES = MORE FUN!!@@!@!!!!

Why Capture the Flag on that map was even a thing I have no idea

Abandon is the bad map with the test tube flood puppies in the middle.
You're thinking of Warhouse.

I had some fun times with those guys you were with, but the last 3 games were just unplayable. It was like playing against a host on another planet.

Almost got a perfection, of course there is some camo dude hiding somewhere to prevent it, of course. Halo 4 in a nutshell.

You should've known better. The better plan is to get 11 fuel rod kills on derps.

There's a commendation, but no post-game medal. Literally no reasoning behind the change, either.
Now that's Halo 4 in a nutshell
