Mets are 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th. That's what I'm watching. MLG after. I like to play MLG while I watch it.

I just got back from an amazing beach adventure, and I'm tired as all get out. If customs are still going in a few hours, I'll be on then.

Also, I can't believe it took you guys so long to get the Deep Blue chess reference, especially this soon after the Watson fiasco/miracle (depending on who/what you were rooting for).

First, that does seem ridiculously fake.

But the thing that pisses me off is the uploader just posted this an hour ago:

Switching back and forth between the ARK III SSF4/MvC3 stream and the MLG stream while poking my head up from time to time to check out the Final Four action. Thank goodness my Yankees already played so there's one less thing for me to worry about.

No way a Mets fan! I don't even follow baseball anymore, but I used to be a huge Mets fan. They always disappoint in the playoffs, if they even make them. I had a blue Mets starter jacket when I was in middle school. Was so proud of it. When they came out with their black jerseys I totally bought a hat.

And I went to a Mets game in St. Louis and met Masato Yoshii back in the day. Todd Hundley crushed a home run into the upper-deck and I was the only one that stood up and cheered lol. I have Howard Johnson's rookie card, loved Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden. OMG And then I remember when they had John Olerud, such a beast. Edgardo Alfonso and Robin Ventura. Oh man the memories... Anyway, sorry. I kind of jizzed my pants for a minute there. Back to Halo *cough cough*

2 things I don't like about it.

Needle rifle dominates and a single grenade can kill you at full shield and full health. That isn't classic.

It's classic in a sense to Halo 1, moreso than Halo 2.

Halo 1 grenades were mighty powerful and remain similar in power to Halo Reach's set. The Needle Rifle is the closest weapon to a classic weapon, because the bloom resets the fastest and you can pull off the quickest kills. Some people, for some stupid reason, dislike using the NR in favor of the DMR because of how it looks and sounds when shooting.

For anyone who cant get on Mlg's stream : http://www.justin.tv/sc2mlgdallas2011?#/w/1037103952

Much more exciting than I ever thought it would be. Sprint adds such an interesting dynamic to the game in terms of pacing, team shooting and map control. Also the strategic use of both the jetpack and evade AA's has been very interesting to watch. I don't there's any question about Reach's competitive viability based on what I've seen so far this weekend.

They've been having issues the entire event with it popping on and off. They're supposedly still looking into it.

People has obviously mentioned it has been fake but anyone notice one of the rules is not to pick up any dead marine weapons in the MAC room but yet in the video an AR is picked up near a dead marine?

I love, love, love NASCAR, but just shorten it by one round and it'll be perfection.

Nascar on Speed is great for a while until everyone you play with memorizes the timing and you dont live past 60 seconds. But until then its a blast to play.

Isn't the DMR still the quickest kill in vanilla?

BTB is such a joke, I just went 35-0 on bro slayer on Hemorrhage, and I went 46-3 earlier today on Paradiso. Why do all the scrubs gravitate towards btb?

When it comes to scrubs, the whole idea of "group cohesiveness" turns counterproductive.

Oh, was that a rhetorical question?

The Mets are responsible for my giving up on the Red Sox. (Yeah, I know, now they're great. I gave up on them in 1986, when the Mets were HANDED a World Series win by Bill Buckner.)

Yeah, I'm old. Shut up.
