Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

Yeah...I'm pretty sure I'd rather listen to Bravo and U4ix commentate me getting my toenails ripped out than listen to Joe Buck cover the NFL or MLB.

I'm not 'douching' on anybody by sharing an honest, objective opinion. MLG's commentators have long been criticized (and this is a stretch because I don't know you, but that's been going on probably longer than you've even been involved with the MLG community at all).

Puckett's probably the best they've got and even he doesn't really think a lot of things through sometimes. ShockWav3 was alright, too. But if you go and watch professional sports like the NFL, NBA, or MLB, you'll notice an immense discrepancy in quality. Why can't I hold MLG's announcers responsible for the quality of their commentating? They could be better. They know they could be better.

MLG's StarCraft casters are on a different level. They definitely overshadow the Halo crew.

Don't mind heckfu. His favorite pastime is to rip on juniors.

I am (read: was) a big fan of the MLG Halo scene and I took zero offense from what you just said. In fact, I actually agree with you.

Thanks, didn't know that. He's said some pretty insensitive crap on TinyGAF as well and I've defended him. Doubt that happens again.

AGL: "If you're gonna slay, you have to slay hard. Can't do a half-slay job." I lol'd.
Like I said, though, I'm just happy to be watching competitive Halo again.

With 3000 viewers on that stream, that's almost 4% of Halo 4's entire active player base. Just to put that in to perspective. 1 in 25 of everyone who will play Halo 4 today is watching that stream.
Peak and daily UUs aren't the same thing. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Halo 4 War Games is seeing over 200k people daily. Not to mention that the "entire active playerbase" isn't going to all be on every single day, so even daily numbers wouldn't be remotely as big as that base.

Puckett, Bravo and Walshy are still my dream team for commentary. Walshy with the color and analysis of replays - Puckett and Bravo with the live commentary.

And u4ix does a great job as well.

No, I "rip" on posters who post dumb stuff. He literally, in his one comment, "ripped" on two commentators in this thread.

Thanks guys! The recent Nintendo Direct is what pushed me into wanting one. I mean X looks awesome, Bayonetta 2 looks awesome, Zombi U looked awesome when I first saw it. Plus I gotta have 'dem first party Nintendo games.

Well, since 'rip' and 'criticize' are essentially synonymous, this statement is not false. Personally, I think it's dumb you refuse to call your transgender friend by her (he to she, right?) preferred sex, but I didn't 'rip' you for it. Except for just now.

on-topic: Ninja's commentating AGL now. Him coming in immediately made Ryanoob step it up as well.

I bought a Wii U on a whim last week too! So far it's been a great decision even before Nintendo Direct. Netflix is amazing on it.

You aren't helping your case with this post.

Yup NIntendo's consoles always compliment whatever other consoles you have perfectly.

Was it a birthday present? Either way guess you deserve a welcome too.

Yeah, true. Still, I don't think I'm too out of line by responding to someone doing the same thing he accused me of (insulting or "ripping" someone present in the thread/community). Should've taken it to PM's, I suppose.

edit and on-topic: Ninja's "fraggin' like a pro" reference had me chucklin'.

It seems like a worthy investment since now we know about a bunch of games that are eventually coming out for it rather than knowing nothing and it's not even E3 yet!I mean the off TV usage will be nice too for Netflix since I could just take it around the house and keep watching stuff if I need to. What other media apps does it have? All I know about is Netflix.

Just played some halo 3

Duels on guardian
Rockets on narrows
Br on pit
Duels on guardian

Why do people not use the veto function?

Oh, and I can't remember the last time I played ANY of the dlc maps, including heroic./rant.

Me and the roommate have been playing Nintendoland.

The Yoshi game is addicting

For me it's DK Crash Course. Oh so damn hard but god I love that game. I was honestly one of those that laughed at that game when revealed but having gotten the premium I decided screw it and give it a shot and man I admit I was wrong. That game is fun as hell.

I haven't been with a woman in 6 years
I heard heckfu's single.

HHHHEEEEEYYYOOOOOO

5 years right here
Keep it going man.

Hope it was and stays a clean break. I didn't do that with my last relationship which I woefully regret. Onto the future, my friend.
Very clean break up. Ended on a very positive note, very optomistic about the future.

First thing that came to mind as I read your comment. If you need anything, I have a half gallon of lube and plenty of pornos I could send you.

I only watch plywood-approved pornography.

Nope, it was a "middle of the week" gift to myself.

Certainly nothing wrong with that. Guess if anyone from Halogaf wants to add me send me a friend request in Miiverse. That's the easy way to add people.

If you go in you can search for a name and then send them a friend request. They then get a notice. If you go through the friends list option they never get it because that's the old fashioned way of each of you adding each other.

Names the same as on 360 and here.
 
Ninja and RyanNoob combo is kind of funny / insightful at the same time. Ninja is the Tastless to RyanNoob's Artosis in terms of style and level of commentary depth.
