Aren't you Chocopolka? The last time we played Halo together, you were murderous. There's no way you're terrible at Halo now. That kind of talent doesn't fade.

Yeah I am. And no I wasn't. I haven't played a FPS in a loooong time. I'm also not an Inheritor and have less than 100 BPR.

That's why I avoided Amazon this time around. They usually deliver my release-day shipping from 5-7PM. I'd be going nuts the entire day.

Sometimes my Amazon shipments come in at like Noon and other times they're like 5-7pm as well. Hoping for the Noon one lol

I remember a month ago it was all "LOL DELETE CAPCOM ACCOUNT LOL I WONT USE IT" and look now. Had to accept ANOTHER ken account.

My plan for Monday/Tuesday:

1) Go to work super early -- 7 a.m. Finish work by 1 p.m. Like a boss. Train new guy 'til 4 p.m.
2) Take a nap. Wake up at 7 p.m. Pound an energy drink.
3) Drive an hour and a half to hometown GameStop. Wait in line with high school friends. Punch people who blurt spoilers. Run away. Go to another GameStop.
4) Get the game. Pound another Monster. Then drink an energy drink. Drive home. Start playing at 2:30 a.m.
5) Try to finish Campaign before school at 11 a.m.
6) Nod appropriately during class. Go home. Nap for two hours.
7) Wake up. Finish leftover Campaign. Hop into War Games.
8) Play until my eyes bleed.

You didn't like it? Explain, why you think it is bad, please.

The acting was terrible. There was an interesting hook (the schoolyard drama) that was discarded in the last 3rd of the miniseries in exchange for Master Chief violence-porn. As a series, it only existed for those who were already intimately familiar with the Halo series; outside of fanservice, FUD failed to establish why anyone should be caring about the characters in the story or what their motivations are.

How do you enjoy your two days off without Halo 4.

You sure about that?

I knew nothing about their stories going into FUD but I rather enjoyed it. You sound full of it.

You sure showed those fellow Halo players at your office! Fuck I'm still laughing at this one mate, so much fail it's morphed into win.

Forgot to ask for the day off, blurted out some date. I blurted wrongly. Oh wells. I will probably play a bit Monday night. Then work Monday morning and then play that night.

and my Halo 3 play through begins now. If anyone wants to join (must be Australian or relatively nearby, playing with people overseas in 3 is shocking) just send me a pm.

Same here. I never get stuff from Amazon before 5 PM.

My plan:

1. Head to Gamestop around 11:30, pay off Limited Edition
2. During this half hour of waiting, dazzle people with my Halo "Fight The Flood" shirt.
3. Grab my LE as close to 12:01 AM as possible and head home.
4. Play Campaign until 4 or 5 AM
5. Sleep
6. Get up for my Data Communications class, in which I have a test on Tuesday (lucky me!)
7. On the way home, vote.
8. Attempt to finish off Campaign before Microsystems class at 5:30.
9. Fail at number 8.
10. After class, finish Campaign, hit War Games.

-If shipped by UPS, eat lunch and chill for an hour or two until game arrives

-Test campaign coop with friends. If there's input lag, start solo campaign on Legendary
-Play campaign until I get bored, then move to SpOps/MP. Switch back when I feel like it
-Play until the early morning since my Wednesday class starts at 6 PM.

I'm like not even going to be able to fall asleep Monday night. I could barely sleep before the "First Look" that came out months ago.

Tomorrow is pretty simple. Normal day until around 9:30. Going to hit the grocery store on the way to Gamestop to see if they have any Halo 4 Doritos. (Because I like Doritos.)

Get to the midnight sale around 10:30. Hang out in line with other cold, wet nerds, and then drive home (45 minute drive).

Play first mission of the Campaign on Heroic. Crash.

Tuesday: Play Campaign all day.
 
My plan for tomorrow

"Oh fuck I have class all day"

"oh fuck my car isn't working, looks like its the trolley + bus for me"

"shit, that means I wont get home til well after 10...and then how am I getting to GS?"

"...."

Tom Chick just lives on controversy. Which is fine, I guess, if that's the image he likes to portray. Thing is, even beyond the massive, massive spoilers in there, there are a few factual errors, which I won't be getting into. He also mentions on the QT3 forums that all the Spartan Ops missions reuse levels, which is flat out untrue for most of them.
Funny part is that he praises reach and ODST firefigth that also reuses same levels from campaing.

Dear... Dear god.

The last 10 minutes of halo 4 I've played = some of the best halo ever

Oh man

I can't wait to beat the game just so I can go back and relive that moment

Not kidding. Get hype.
