I kinda liked him. They could've given him some more lines but I can't say I liked hem much less than the Chief.

Oh good, instinct stayed together. I thought I heard somewhere that Roy and Lunchbox weren't playing together. So are people like Strongside, T2, Legit, Hysteria just done, or did they play and not do very well?
Roy was thinking of quitting, guess he didn't. They will be going to MLG Dallas for Halo 4.
Strongside - Just bailed on MLG Dallas from what I heard on twitter
Tsquared - Does Gamespot "esports" reporting now
Hysteria - Believe he's going to Dallas
Legit - Think he might have quit, or will try Dallas for one last event.
"Crazy fool. Why do you always jump? Someday you're gonna land on someone as stubborn as you, and i don't do bits and pieces."
Halo 4.
Master Chief makes a hard landing on Requiem.
Crash lands near Jorge.
"Where the hell did you come from?"
"A ship split in half and ended up here. You?"
"Same."
"Let's go kill some Covenant."
They both do a bro-fist bump. Believe.

What was your name again?
Jorge spends the rest of his years trying to get back to his old lady mom on Reach.

For real, when Dare was talking to him underground and asking him questions I was like "just talk dammit, TALK!!!!" That is where the silent protagonist breaks imo.

I hope Legit comes back. Is Elamite gone too? I'd ask about more people but I'm having a hard time coming up with their names. I haven't paid much attention to pro halo for Reach
"Affirmative"
"X had potential, but they never capitalized on it" pretty much defines every squad character in both ODST and Reach. You got glimpses of something that could have been really great, especially in Buck and Jorge, but they did so much jumping around that they never felt important. I feel like if they just got rid of a couple of the already-underused guys in each game (Mickey and Dutch, as much as I love those two actors, are criminally ignored, and Jun and Emile would be my two Reach picks), they'd be able to capitalize on the whole squad closeness.
True blank slates, like the Rookie, work well in very, very few instances: namely, when the player is alone (where ODST shines -- it breaks as soon as they play the "oh gosh you don't talk much" with Dare), and semi-slates work where the player isn't all that important or is just another peer in a group (like Reach). It completely, fully breaks when the game places massive importance or reverence on the player character. You start up Half-Life 2 and within a few hours, and especially during the Episodes, the game is in full on Freeman worship for a guy who has not spoken a single word to any of them ever and just kind of stares creepily at whoever is talking. The creepy stare is only broken up by sometimes jumping on crates in a corner of the room like an idiot or throwing objects at the speaker cause that shit's funny. That they put Alyx into a position of adoring creepy stalker for this dude who does nothing but stare and murder is nothing short of hilarious to me.

My Six was a she.
He's teaming with Naded and Elumnite (both went to 343 for a few weeks and worked on h4 strategy guide). Believe they are still a TO3 after Strongside left this past weekend.

In the Firefight Voice section of the armory, you can preview all the voices whenever you press X. Everyone has a couple of different lines of dialog, except Six. All he/she says is, "yes, sir."

The Rookie's silence was pretty stupid. You're not Snake Eyes, bitch; a superior just asked you a question!"

Yes. I can't remember how it started, but it was a recurring joke over the weekend.

I SAID HITLER CAME FROM AUSTRIA! You all misunderstood me! I am blaming my German accent.
Oh wow, Ninja and Snip3down on the same team, beast combination assuming they worked together.
That is prolly the best summation of what is wrong with Half Life 2 that ive ever read. Haha.
Aside from the grav gun and some interesting world buiding HL2 was a snoozed for me.

That was the hardest I've ever laughed at RvB. It was legitimately funny!

I really wish I had spent time getting a following on Soundcloud up to this point, rather than youtube. It's really hard to get people to favorite something on soundcloud because you have to make an account.

They almost took the whole thing. Had a 46-46 tie in Pit Slayer for all the marbles, but got too aggressive and pushed too far toward Instinct's side at the end and it cost them.
If they continue playing together with Blaze and Ryan, they're going to be tough to deal with.

Yes. That is the overall package. You will still get the silver tin.Question: did they change the packaging on the LE recently or what?
Futureshop and BestBuy are showing this now instead of the old silver tin and whatnot:
Or is that just what the LE comes in?
Cool, thanks!

Ninja lost his concentration in the last games, but they almost won the whole thing.
The final match was super exciting
Holy crap. That was awesome. I don't follow the RVB stuff and only catch a clip here and there, but this was hilarious.

That appears to be the case. Although you do catch glimpses of a wild Steelyuhas throughout the video, but it's not the same without your luscious voice.
Whatchu talkin bout, you're right here:There was a noticeable lack of Wu, too.
(I show up in a corner of the screen for a few seconds during the panel footage. Other than that, though, Duncan pretty much turned off his camera whenever I came near. Sadface.)

Awesome.
It was a recurring joke. Hyper and Heckfu were staying in my room on Friday night and I forget what we were talking about, but I seem to recall that out of nowhere Hyper exclaimed that "Hitler was German!" but apparently his accent just really confused us.

Yeah, the confirmation of that policy definitely makes me sad and frustrated. I feel like I have to check my ethics at the door every time I visit this site.

Ah, I guess they're waiting for the third poll for the Mark V helmet vs Lockout DLC
