Got a splinter under my finger nail a few minutes ago. It's stuck in really deep. Don't know what to do, I have no tweezers

It's like, really in there. I don't know what would happen if I took it to a doctor in the morning. It goes all the way to the end of the fingernail, would I lost the entire nail for awhile. This sucks

Be a man.

How does that even happen?

Be a man.

Already took a knife out and cut down a lot of my nail/skin around it. The pain's not what I'm worried about.

That sounds like one of those things that should be making me cringe REALLY HARD but it isn't.

Activision Blizzard is for sale.

Does this effect bungie?

Maby if Microsoft buys them, but anybody else then a first party buys them then they will just buy shares and the game(s) will still be coming out.

Soak it in some hot water bro, softens the nail up.

Imagine if Microsoft dropped $8.1 billion for that 61% share of activison blizzard. Jesus that would be the most game changing thing i could ever imagine.

They'd have major stakes in COD, Destiny and probably whatever Blizzard does. Yeah, that would be insane. Though I hope no such thing happens.

It will be smart, but not for the sake of exclusivity. CoD sales come from a lot of platforms, it being locked down to one platform would decrease the profits. However, if Microsoft would buy the shares and let multiplatform development continue, they will be ranking in the money.

Call of Duty
World Of Warcraft
Destiny
Starcraft
Diablo
Spider-Man
Tony Hawk
Crash Bandicoot
Spyro
Guitar Hero

Those are some crazy profitable franchises.

This is the first time I have watched these guys, but they act like douches.

Yeah, Machinima is hit or miss usually. The FUD is a brief mention, at the end, about 6:00

You'd think, but Microsoft pisses money away not releasing Rare IPs on Nintendo DS anymore.

Also now I know exactly how much more time I have left in the United States

It'd probably be worth your while making a thread for this in the Reach folder on Waypoint. You'd have a better chance of finding others who've had the problem and getting a network engineer to read it.

It's also an issue of available bandwidth. The host tracks all sprees, so when he leaves the sprees go away.

 

[Shadders]

I just encountered a really annoying problem in Reach that hopefully gets fixed for Halo 4. I had one of the best games of my Halo career (went 34 and 0 on Anniversary TS Timberlands) and at 29 kills the game changed hosts and reset my spree so I did not get my invincible medal. Kinda disappointing and I was worried I wouldn't get the perfection but it still gave it to me thankfully.

Definitely annoying and has happened to me a bunch of times where I'm at 9 kills and about to get a frenzy and it resets my spree. Pleease fix this for H4 343.

From the people who don't know much about gaming communities. You'll be surprised how many get 100% of their gaming news from YouTube videos like these.

That ship has sailed. It's a very well known bug and has persisted for years. It won't be getting fixed no matter how many threads you make on Waypoint.

wasn't this issue already in the previous games? It is definately no Reach-only problem.

That's what he said. It's been there for years, hasn't been fixed and probably won't

 

[StalkerUKCG]

The only other option would be having some kind of server to track the kills streaks but that is not really an option. That or Sync the streaks to everyone so whoever even if 3 hosts leave the game still knows what people are up to in streaks but thats going to be a big drain on bandwidth having every killstreak being synced and stored for every player.

Im still pissed reach never got a Juggenaut bug fix its literally unplayable in custom games because the option do not work. Its base Jug or NOTHING

 

[Shadders]

Thinking about it, if the game allows drop in/out you'd imagine it has a more elegant host switching system too. This might just get fixed as part of introducing better systems elsewhere.

It wouldn't be a drain on bandwidth because every kill is already communicated to every player, it would be a local process to track the streaks.

So he got a kick to the face? Thats not the right way to stop alcoholism

He was blabbing some shit about his girlfriend. She started crying and everybody started to tell him to shut up. She is really a good person, can't understand how my uncle even landed her.

Yeah Juggernaut was pretty much abandoned since launch.

There's not much hope any gametype is getting updates before 4 comes out.

Also, a good complimentary custom challenge to SWAT seems to be Medals Earned.

[Barrow Roll]

Sorry, we encountered a problem while processing your request.

Site is terrible.

 

[FyreWulff]

Site is terrible.

Best kill of the game was headshotting somebody.. through a tree.. with no red reticule.

If someone could capture it, "Treeshot" is the film clip

File Share link

That game was pretty fun and now I feel hyped up. Teammates left, stayed calm, got kills, and changed location after each one. The other team didn't do it so all I had to do was remember where I died from and wipe them out each time. If they had kept rotating around the map and covered their sight lines, we wouldn't have had a chance. But they'd keep doing stuff like all looking in one direction.

Uploaded the entire game too.

 

[JackHerer]

Head shots specifically. You can get a lot of credits if you set up a challenge for head shots and play exclusively swat for a few hours. I'm not a huge SWAT fan so I don't do it often. It's fun for a few games but not for long stretches IME.

Although I do think that SWAT is one of the only gametypes that is improved from past Halos in Reach. Dat hitscan DMR.

Oh shit, I only just heard that Trocadero's new album is being released July 7th. That was a pleasant surprise.

First, I'll link to the post that started this discussion, just to make sure everyone sees it.

Aside from the SCII thread I've participated in a grand total of one thread on GAF. I'm here for the Halo stuff, and I imagine there are people in similar situations. That kind of 'spheres of influence' cultivates isolation. If GAF wanted more inclusion, they should not have subscriptions. As it is you can ignore everyone else.

I made a post in the very same thread about subscriptions and how they deter me from posting much outside the niche communities I take part in. Obviously it hasn't gotten out of hand for HaloGAF, otherwise we wouldn't be here. We should, however, make sure we don't devolve into something like what Opiate described because people like myself have already shown the early signs of the worst of what he described.

As long as HeckFu stays out of Gaming Side Halo threads we'll be fine.

 

[Karl2177]

If only someone could write an app with an API that would let you easily pull down and digest game data

That'd never happen for a Halo game though

I'm actually going through my Halo 2 games on B.net just to see if I recognize any opponents I've ever faced.

This should be a feature imo. "Games I've played against this person".

Someone actually had an application that screenscraped the stats from Halo 3. It stopped working once Bungie updated the site for Halo: Reach. I've been looking for something similar for a while, but no such programs exist anymore.

http://www.bbehr.net/H3Opp/

Waypoint's not even reliable enough to screenscrape it. And it's stupid that we have to.

I agree completely. That's two things we agree on now... World is ending.

Having the limited edition already pre-ordered feels so good man, I couldn't get my hands on Reach's legendary edition :/

I'm getting it for 61€

Goddamn. I was about to offer just to mail mine to you (since I'm going to Canada). Shipping from the US to Spain is absurd

edit: Rock Band Blitz's achievements are out. You're going to need at least 275 DLC songs or so to unlock all the achievements. So roughly 500$ of DLC. (ignoring exports)

 

[a zoojoo]

give me that fucking thing now

I'm not even sure if I'll get the limited edition. It's only 10 euros more expensive than the normal version but most of the stuff you get with it isn't that special. Most is multiplayer related and I don't even know if I will like it or not.
