I'm debating this as well. Sending an email to the professor tonight to verify that I can get my money back if I drop before the start.

Highly doubt I'd be able to manage that class and this project at work at the same time. :/

Roll a Horde character so we can run some raids.

For sure man. I have another CompSci class that is rather important. By the time the class rolled around I was so mentally spent I couldn't process the information. When I realized it was cutting into what is most important I dropped it immediately.

I pretty much always have some sort of stimulant running through my veins, even before bed (what is bed?) Doesn't help that I love the taste of a fresh black coffee - easy peasy.

That's the thing. It severely impacts the classes that matter, and it's bullshit that it's a requirement.

Wow, this is a lot of halo talk.

If I wasn't so drunk I'd go take a picture of all the excellent Colorado beer in my refrigerator.

We also have pretty good coffee, one of the breweries a few blocks up makes a mean coffee stout so you can combine your vices.

There is a time and place for cheap beer, this is not that time and it is not that beer.

Also finally am working my way through MCC campaign and replayed the library yesterday. For some reason I did not get how effective the shotgun is against flood when I first played it many years ago. The buff in PvE to shotguns in destiny is what finally led me to have fun playing the library level in halo. I no longer hate the flood (but I only played on normal so my thoughts on this are invalid)

I hate the taste of beer, so I drink the cheap beer that tastes like water. Rainier, Tecate, Hamms, PBR. Wine is cool too. Whiskey is okay sometimes. I can't really hang with other hard liquors.

Also, confession time: I didn't really start drinking till I was 28. I just hated the taste of it all. Now I get at least tipsy at 70% of the social functions I go to, lol.

 

[daedalius]

Oh man, Prometheans with binary rifles on legendary.

Jackal snipers of old are a joke comparatively.

Ugh, so many deaths.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Beer, in the age of Irish craft beer tax credits and European imports is just fantastic!

Whiskey isn't quite as social a drink unfortunstely, but that makes it nice too as kind of a special part of the night (or if I am too full of beer).

Dammit Ryn you live near Portland, the place has some of the best craft breweries in the country, and there is great beers to try. Whenever you go, get the tasters/samplers, see what you like.

I dunno, I've had enough $6 pints to know that cheap beer tastes better. Portland is a craft beer mecca but all that stuff tastes nasty to me.

Lord of the Rings and Irn Bru is the best hangover cure. Followed by Halo of course.

"Irn-Bru (pronounced "iron brew") is a Scottish carbonated orange-neon soft drink, often described as "Scotland's other national drink" (after Scotch whisky)."

Didn't know you were Scottish, Jem. Says even more popular than Coke and Pepsi there. Must be some cultural thing like poutine and maple syrup for us, vegemite for those knifey/spoony players down under.

I'm a dirty American and I can eat the heck out of some poutine. There's a couple places here in Pittsburgh that make it.

I almost love poutine as much as chicken-and-waffles. Almost.

What the? That's a surprise. Great BTB 1 or 2 flag & bomb map. Oh the memories of an objective falcon run or splasher defender to save the game.

Slayer usually got lopsided on that map though. Also terminal BTB was the shit.

Maybe MS should follow suit with Activision/Destiny and get some Halo 5 tie-ins with Monster instead.

Will we finally get better water in Halo games? Stinkles should write a Bulletin about it, if you ask me.

 

[dwells]

Is HaloGAF turning into BeerGAF and ScotchGAF?!?

This is something I can get behind and not be salty about. In the interest of preserving my much-loved demeanor, I'll just say that MCC has driven me to increase drinking as a coping mechanism.

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on my small bar and liquor cabinet area in my place. Almost everything's done so far, I just need to finish the PCB and soldering for the little remote power distribution/switchboard I designed for the lighting and then run the wiring. Should look cool all lit up.

Next project will be a custom-enclosure two-tap kegerator - I designed the bar area to accommodate it, so it looks a bit empty without it at the moment. There's a house plant on that section of the bar instead of taps at the moment, haha.

Just noticed it's on a shield world like Requiem too. I really want them to return to a Halo though.

On the subject of Flood in Warzone, Imagine if a player was killed by a boss then their body becomes an AI controlled Flood spartan that goes around hunting players. It wouldn't have the frustration of being picked off while in a player-to-player firefight as they would be melee enemies only like in Infection.

Pretty sure this is also a prototype stage of the level we got a glimpse of in the e3 demo.

Phil Spencer on Halo: Reach coming to BC affecting its chances of being in MCC:

It doesn't keep us from doing a remaster ... We don't have a plan right now for a remake of Halo: Reach. I suspect it will be in backward compatibility before we'd ever think about doing a remake.

From Podcast Unlocked, about 14:00 in.

Makes sense. Reach is still a pretty good looking game. If halo 3 didn't need a remaster, Reach certainly does not.

 

[Madness]

Not necessarily a remaster but damn does it need 1080p and 60 frames, and hopefully using the power of Xbox One to remove that damn motion blur.

I suspected once we got BC and no mention of Reach, it's probably no longer coming. Bonnie brought it up in that Game Informer interview, but it was the, only wanted Master Chief campaigns in lead up to H5, ODST wasn't planned (MCC debacle) etc.

I can't wait to try that level with the Tsunami myself. I want those large set pieces and memorable encounters back.

How exactly is the temporal blur in Reach applied? Depending on the implantation, unless they went in and modified things 60fps wouldn't necessarily solve the ghosting issue.

I'm interested in comparing these two collectors editions after seeing on Game.co.uk they are the same price (£79.99)

I've never played Destiny and it's impossible to know the scope of Halo 5 itself, and so this isn't about which game has more/better content for the asking price. But on a presentation/graphic design point of view, the Destiny package looks so much more enticing.

Maybe the Halo Req stuff is all up in the air, but Destiny displays all the digital content and makes it look super sexy, whereas the Halo version is just a logo.

Again, after seeing they were both the same price, thought it was interesting to look at both packages.
