Another great morning, waking up, make some strong coffee, and blast fools with a shotgun before work.

The matchmaking gods have smiled on me lately, but they are giving me the false sense that I'm actually good. Then I go and look at the BPR of the guys I beat.

I am so doomed when H4 ships.
 
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. I simply prefer the "blockier" look. He feels like a guy wearing a super-suit, as opposed to his increasingly unarmored and to me less-functional looking incarnations.

Plus, the helmet is far and away more interesting than the Mk VI.

Agreed.


And for those interested, if you sign up for Sideshow Collectibles newsletter on the Mark V Statue page you receive $10 in credit towards a purchase. Not sure if it is a one off thing or not, but the email said "New Member Discount". I'm going to use it towards the Mark V when the start taking pre-orders, well, if it is under $100. Its probably not.

EDIT: They also have some other Halo figures for purchase now.
 
Welcome to Texas they said...

Thanks for bringing it, you bastard. Last year at this time, we had close to 45 days of 100 degree-or-over heat. I think today will be day 11 for the year, which is great.

"Come to Texas. It just feels hotter here."
Texas: If the heat doesn't kill you, the hillbillies will do something worse."

Managed to hit Eclipse over the weekend, which will most likely be my final 'rank' in Reach.
 
:lol
I suspect that they really enjoy donging on every fat kid they see. Sure they will say Oddball on Swordbase or post a game with bad teammates, but in reality these games are the outliers on what usually seems to be sessions of Reach that an go on for hours.

You haven't played with OddballGaf during one of our Swordball Oddbase nights then I take it? We actually choose it (sometimes a dozen times in one night) just because it is so ridiculous. We compete for assists, streaks, ball kills, how long it takes the other team to quit, etc. It's an ironic sort of "fuck you" to matchmaking I suppose.
Come to Hathaway, she now has a mustache.
You asked for it...and now you have to stick by your word.

Looks like a perfectly normal man from the 80's. I approve. Maybe he and I will jam to Slayer sometime.

Drat. Thanks for the responses!

Seeing Halo 4 on the huge IMAX screen was awesome. That game is sexy.

Which movie did you see that showed the Halo 4 video?

I went to see Dark Knight in IMAX and was hoping that it would be there. Oddly enough there were NO previews at all before Dark Knight, it just went straight into the movie.

It played during First Look before The Dark Knight Rises. First Look starts about 20 minutes before the first preview. They also showed Black Ops 2, but thankfully it switched to the real previews halfway through.
 
I hope we get pricing on those UNSC/Forerunner headphones soon. Not knowing the pricing is really bugging me. Hyper and I are going H4 gear nutz this fall.

It's gif showing someone using a shotgun to kill a baby and being showered in the resulting gore.

It's not particularly nice to look at, regardless if it's from a movie.

Yeah but it's SO obvious it isn't real blood. It's not like they tried to make it look real, you even see feathers where he probably hit a pillow or something.

This. Oddball swordbase is definitive halo brought to you by those who made halo.

It's the shotgun as a starting weapon.
Please don't be in the final game, please don't be in the final game, please don't be in the final game...

It's in the final game, isn't it?

edit: Also, Team Oddball Swordbase isn't allowed to bitch about quitters when they go into matchmaking with the guys that they have and objective hold.

We don't objective hold...we do the exact opposite.

Why keep playing a game that you obviously can't stand. It's like your looking forward to complaining before you even start up Reach.
It's not like we have a choice, we love Halo, but at this point, both Halo 3 and Reach are unplayable. Reach has bullshit mechanics like bloom and OP Armor Abilities, and Halo 3 is unplayable in a different way. It's netcode is a hot, steaming pile of poop.

Call me crazy, but there's no way 343 is going to have shotgun load outs in the final game.
 
Agreed.

That's why you only hold on objectives where you can end the game relatively quickly when a quit occurs. If it's round based? Screw that, we're playing this straight up.

We don't objective hold...we do the exact opposite.

Isn't objective holding the point in Oddball on Swordbase?

These are simultaneously both true.
