Oh I laughed far too hard at this

So can anyone confirm that Halo 4 (Team Throwdown) is actually working? Need to know before I make a special trip to Fry's to replace my headphone cable.
Also, with the server issues yesterday, the peak population was 42K - ouch.
Link?Damn, that Game of Thrones trailer just made the wait that much harder.
Link?
Here's my last one for now... (bonus homage to Gary)

It's amazing how you never really think about how overpowering Armor Abilities are until they're taken away or made in to powerups. I just played a game on Shutout where two of my four teammates quit. Using a Thruster and Sword I managed to hold BR tower by myself while my remaining teammate went to work with the Sniper and held snipe tower.
We won 50 - 36.
Good stuff there.
I used thruster pack to get out of an assassination animation the other day. I end up killing the assassin and his teammate for a double kill. It may be a weird glitch or a well timed thrust. i thrusted backwards if that means anything.

Do you guys know if I bought Halo 3 on demand from the sale, would installing the ODST multiplayer disc allow me to play all the map packs from Halo 3 itself? I know that installing the game increases load time, but I want to be able to do everything straight from Halo 3.
Nope, you'll have to buy all of Halo 3's DLC to have a full discless solution
What the doctor ordered.I have an idea, I think everyone should just drop it. It's getting way too off topic and someone on either side is going to get upset and we've already had two bannings because of it.
Let's all play it cool and talk about halo or sig or something.

Well that's lame I guess. I really have no need for Halo 3 than since I've already beat the campaign, I never got a lot of the achievements though.
Meh, Resident Evil 6 and Metal Gear Solid HD here I come!
Not RE6!
I redboxed it and I didn't like it too much, but some of my friends play mercs and online frequently so I might as well join them.
Maybe I'll get Left4Dead 2, Halo Wars, and RE4 too, that list has a lot of good looking games on it.
Halo Wars is surprisingly still easy to get good games in despite the low population, only problem is most everyone playing has figured out all the cheese and optimal strategies. Campaign is not too bad either.I redboxed it and I didn't like it too much, but some of my friends play mercs and online frequently so I might as well join them.

Ah okay.
Yes that list is incredibly tempting. I really want to pick up the Orange Box myself.

Aw hell mothafuckin' yisss
If you're getting it just for TF2 I've heard that it's online community is dead. Add to that the absence of all the PC updates, not to mention that on PC it's free it's not really worth it. But, Portal and Half-Life are worth it.
Just started season 1 of Game of Thrones; I got spoiled by a cardboard promo at Walmart the other day. So lame.
I'm getting it only for Portal and Half-Life. I didn't care much for TF2.
As for Halo Wars, that's a great game, and I second the comment about still being able to get games even with low population.
Kittens recommended Borderlands 2, going to pick it up today. Never played the first though so hopefully I don't miss anything story wise. Halo has taken a back seat.

Than my purchase of Halo Wars has been solidified.
Borderlands 2 is really fun, it was definitely made for co-op so playing alone won't be as fun as with friends.
edit: Is Game of Thrones on Netflix? That's all I have for watching TV shows and movies.
no it's an HBO show
Damn.
Than my purchase of Halo Wars has been solidified.
Aw hell mothafuckin' yisss
and HBO wonders why their shows are always pirated.
Halo Wars is all i play nowadays, anyone thinking about picking it up when its cheap really should.
The total pop. at its highest hits around 5000-6000 but finding a game is no problem at all. Dont think ive ever waited more than a minute or two for a full 3v3 game.
People say its very stripped down and simple in comparison with other RTS games, i never got into any RTS games so it suits me fine.
Its really fun, cant recommend it enough.
If it wasn't for HBO Game of Thrones would be like 10 minutes of content, product placement and then like 30 minutes of advertising. You have to pay for the quality, HBO, AMC, FX etc.
I'm honestly surprised that its population is that good still
