Someone needs to photoshop Superintendent's face on a Pizza.
Superintendent needs more face for this lol

National chain pizzas suck.
Pizza Hut is so disgustingly expensive here. It's like $60 for two people delivered.
Edit: to feed two people, not to have two people delivered. I think that costs extra.

Is GAF slow for anyone else? Or receiving Gateway Errors?

Brilliant strategy for next gen. Get everyone fat on convenient pizza hut. Sell Kinect Fitness games.

Soon, achievements will net you free Pizza Hut points you can redeem for a small pizza.

Then we'll be able to order using microsoft points.
 
I have no idea why people are making fun of Microsoft for this Pizza Hut app? It's fucking incredible. People would love it if Google or someone else did it. Oh well, I'll be too busy living in the future where I can order pizza from a motherfuckin game console to listen to anyone.

Might as well go all the way.

It is awesome. I just don't really like Pizza Hut. They're the McDonald's of the Pizza world. (not that there's anything wrong with McDonald's, especially if the "mood" is right ;) )
pizza hut pizza no thank you. if I'm gonna get pizza it's gonna be Sals

Thinking of starting some custom lobbies if I can get enough people playing on the weekend.

Halo 4

No Sprint gametypes with no loadouts
BR Spawns
Classic maps and other forge maps that excel

Anyone interested
 
So I don't know if many of you know, but I build and paint models, specifically mecha. I have been commissioned to re-paint the 12 inch Halo 4 Master Chief figure. My client wants custom fatiguing and I would like to ask for GAF's assistance and opinion. I have been told to do whatever I want with it, so long as it isn't a 'stock' paint job - he wants weathering and the whole bit.

Here is the figure:

I am going to use the stripes (bot white and subtle red ones) and make some custom decals, but how do you think I should go about the weathering progress? Any other pics floating around the internet with some cool looking Master Chief color scheme ideas?

Also, if anyone from 343 is looking, I'd love to know how to take this darn thing apart so I can paint the appendages individually. It would help out so much!

Read Silentium if you haven't.

I still have that sitting around. I'm reading through Detroit: An American Autopsy, enjoying it. Will start Silentium as soon as I'm done. I'm actually surprised I didn't start Silentium as soon as I got it, was so hyped for it.

I'll deal with it because it looks exactly like my pup a few months ago. She's awesome btw, but you already knew that.

How's she doing? Mine's getting neutered in a couple days, kinda scared for him.
 
I don't think so. It's weird. It's exactly 100x120, png format, tried it both interlaced and not, and it's only 21 kb. Maybe if I yell at it...


Uploading to the neogaf servers, not an external host

Edit: Tried using imgur instead - didn't work. Everything is running choppy for me right now. Maybe neogaf just isn't in a 'Gordon' mood today lol

Tried changing my av back today and got the same business, (as you can clearly see). I'm guessing it's a GAF issue.

She's good. Have a vet appt in the morning. About to close on a house so she can finally have a big yard to run around in. She's like a child to me... Couldn't live without her!

How's yours doing other than the nut cutting?

Looks like I won't be ordering any pizzas then. I'll just stick to the Pizza Hut phone app.

Uh, the Gaming side thread said no, even silvers can use it.


EDIT: Major Williams, is that Chief figure the Play Arts one? I need it. Also, re: paint, did he want just custom coloring?


EDIT2:

Also, speaking of vehicle ordinance drops, BF3 beat Halo to it.

Battlefield 3: End Game allows you deploy vehicles to strategic points on the Battlefield from the dropship.

343i has no clue how to take that thing apart. You have to ask Square-Enix, the manufacture of the figure. I tried to google an instruction, but I could not find one. Barrow Roll may have an answer, but I don't think so.

For the paint job, the figure is pretty metallic. It really does not represent the Master Chief green of Halo 4. Maybe do that?

Ummm guys, you know those 2 week trials from the Doritos promotion awhile back that said they would expire on the 7th of April. Well I kept some and just tried one on an account that has already used two 2 week trials on it before and it worked. So I hope ya'll kept some from that.
 
For fatigue/weathering, I suggest chipping the paint around the edges. I'd look up some Halo Reach armor for inspiration, as it has a more eroded look to it.



Well he liked my military color scheme of this model (obviously I think he wants a bit more muted, but same attention to detail).


And he liked the weathering on this piece. I haven't decided if I want to do rust. I know rust isn't technically possible on the Chief's armor, but it would add a cool look that would be unique. Perhaps have some of the pieces have rust and others not? I am definitely doing some oil and dirt fading.

He's alright otherwise. Too hyper sometimes, apparently the neutering will help with that.

I need new pants, thanks.

Awesome stuff.

Looks like the Square Enix figure.

So what kind of Master chief he wants to see?

Bungie's Version which uses more bright colors


or the 343i version which is more darker in color.


Dont forget he still use a damaged armor but cortana somewhat repainted parts of his armor.

EDIT:

Did they ever confirm Cortana did it? I was reading Marcus Lehto's twitter a few days ago, he had a discussion with someone who asked why Hunters looked a bit different, he said visual designs improve but what they did is not as radical as what happened to the Chief.

It was effectively a retcon of the Mjolnir armor because the cut scene with Halsey showed him fighting a Brute but he had the new 343i armor. So I don't know if it was Cortana.

Yes 343i confirmed it, she used nanomachines to change MC's armor (pretty lame excuse) and its expanded on the novels.

It was more of like how you're supposed to just roll with the new design, similarly to the covenant looking different. Chief's MJOLNIR Mark VI has "always" looked like this now in canon. Chief looks exactly the same to all the characters and enemies.

This was a joke bro. The only thing Cortana did in Cryo was redesign Chief's HUD.
