You can switch what email is tied to the gamertag
How? When I go to change email it asks for my old login and password (the latter which doesn't work which is why I was trying to prove my ownership in the first place). Without the correct password I'd imagine changing the email isn't an option unless there's some secret I'm unaware of and would love to know.

Wow, thanks a lot guys. Please don't be offended but there's no way I could accept it.

Ultimately, it's my fault for being in this situation.
I could've waited a few more months to try and find a payed internship, but I thought "I want to make videogames. Screw money, I'm going to try to follow my dream".
Problem is, there are only two gaming companies here in Portugal, and the other one is down south, so I had to go with this one.

But hey, I have a laptop, I have internet and a 360 with a couple of games. Which is much more than what I actually need. So things aren't as bad as I made it seem with my last post, I guess.


Thanks a lot for the offer though. It means a lot.

Kids, lesson is: Follow your dreams

Now I feel bad for saying anything about it. I'm not in a bad situation. I'm not poor or anything. I have a home, food and clothes. Anything you could ask for. Simply can't afford all these things at once. I was merely asking for a < 23 MB TU.

Can I just have that please? :lol

Still have the old 360? And I think you want some food, because everytime we play together, you want to do something with my foot. Do you want to eat it?

Welcome to it, he's been trolling Halo boards for years with the pompous holier than thou tude.
lol I was wondering when you would chime in. And I have played with many here and would play with just about anyone, from HaloGAF, or any other passionate Halo community. I believe our similarities far outweigh our differences, as passionate as we are about the latter.

And HaloIGN had pretty much the opposite of NeoGAF's rule: Do be a dick. It was a terribly hostile environment, but there still were some really cool people I met there with whom I've enjoyed good laughs and good games for years.

Remember those old anti-drug commercials? Well, if I'm ever a complete ass here, LAUGHTREY, I learned it from watching you! But seriously, your posts here are almost nothing like your caustic, mean posts from IGN--it's nice to see you've grown up. Perhaps I too can change.

I thought TUs were stored in an inaccessible section for system files, not counted among your HDD space given on the dashboard. Even if you had that space completely full of TUs from other games, the system will automatically clear space for the newest TU. What you'll really need space for are the 7 new maps you'll want to download for use with your Reach disc. You could probably fit all Reach DLC onto a cheap flashdrive if it came to it.

Am I imagining things, or wasn't there a way to download a TU to a USB or optical disc for offline installation?

I love Morgan Webb. Forget about her looks (Are we judging Adam Sessler on his looks, too?), she's an experienced gamer who knows what she's talking about.

Give me 20 Morgan Webbs over one Olivia Munn any day of the week.

Was simply judging her looks because you said:

Can't miss a chance to check out Morgan Webb. lol

Attractive or not, I still don't like her, not so much because of her knowledge or opinion on games, but because of her voice. I think I said this eariler, butshe sounds like she's reading a book to a 2 year old.

Where was the Beaver Creek footage that was talked about earlier?

The only video I have found is this (which BTW only has 2 views so it might be worth a look to see if it's new).

Fair warning though, have your speakers muted or on a much lower volume.
I will never understand the appeal of dubstep. Especially bad dubstep.

Also, it's not classic so meh.

Also LOL SHOTGUN FOR PISTOL

Which reminds me, I hope vanilla reach Beaver Creek is still subject to change.... Sword in the middle. Shotgun IN THE BASE. Rockets up top. Presumably snipers on the sides. And grenade launchers somewhere? Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope.

Remove Sword and Shotguns. I don't want to get sprint rushed on such a small map.

HaloGaf, I must ask, would anyone going to PAX/Halo-Fest be willing to grab me some swag? I would for sure pay shipping and could throw a bit extra in if needed.

:p

Certainly raises questions to be asked next week. It could be like the MP demonstration at PAX in 07, at the Omegathon, were they had a bunch of power weapons just for casual people to be excited/wow'ed.

That would be a good explanation. I hope its right.

Maybe the bulletin today might shed some light on it.

Lead guy has that weird line thing on his noble pic.
urk mentioned that these are due to a bad rendering unit. It's no longer in use, but it'll be a while before all the bad images are replaced.
urk on HBO's forum said:
According to Moose, one of the rendering units went bad and "was generating crazy-go-nuts player images." It's been pulled from the farm, but it might take a bit to replace the bad images with rich, creamy Spartany goodness.

YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED WITH ME! YOU HATE ME, DON'T YOU?

(Heh - looks like I missed all the high school drama playing out here last night. :) )

HiredN00bs - a couple of pages back, in response to a request for advice on how to live, you said "Be nice to the nice. Be an asshole to assholes."

Seems to me you do an awful lot of the latter here, and almost none of the former. Maybe if you were a bit more balanced, the responses wouldn't be so negative. (And please don't tell me it's because nobody here is nice.)

I would get one but I have no money at all. I've been working for the last 5 months for free because my college demands that I do that before I can graduate.

And I'd be fine with that if the company were offering me a job after all this, but since I spend my day working instead of kissing some ass, I'm going to end up unemployed. I was going to buy some gaf shirts but I have no money for that now. Gamescom was also in my plans, but forget about that.
Probably will end up not getting CE:A either.

Life sucks sometimes :lol
I did the same thing at the end of my college tenure, worked for free designing ads for a magazine, and when I was done they didn't offer a job, they replaced me with the next intern. Hang in there man it will get better and be worth it in the end. But as far as the $40 you need for CEA, just put pack $3 a week and you'll be fine.

Just seems like coincidence and it's just a back tunnel behind the base. But it'd be awesome if it was another forge world type map and Waterworks was underneath like Sandbox had the crypt, as they are sayin. :p

People called Romanes they go the house?
Goddamn, this thread moves faster than the Halo 3 thread did.

Anywho, see you peoples at PAX, I caved and bought plane tickets.

465 cool ones down the drain, but it'll be worth it.

Halogaf, re-assemble!

That's the biggest and most despised HaloGAF clique, composed of people who would whore themselves and play with just about anyone in order to make the Reach shitfest more bearable.

Ooooo me too!

I'm going trough the list later and adding as much as my friends list will hold. Speaking of which, weren't we supposed to get more when Halo 2 went offline?

If Beaver Creek is a forge map that actually has a good framerate I'm gonna be so pumped.
I doubt Beaver Creek is a Forge canvas. Sure, there are some rocks you can delete, but I don't think it's anything like Forge World.

Besides, if there was a new Forge canvas in CEA wouldn't they want to save it for a big reveal closer to launch?

There are still two maps we haven't seen yet, it's likely we'll see one of them at HaloFest. A new Forge canvas would be fantastic, but if not, the news that the old Forge World will be able to play the Classic ++ gametypes is still comforting.

We could theoretically have a Reach playlist with the following maps:

CEA
Battle Creek
Damnation
Hang 'em High
Timberlands
Mystery Classic Map #1
Mystery Classic Map #2

Reach Vanilla
Reflection
Asylum
Pinnacle
Hemorrhage

Reach Team Classic
Lockout (Eclipse)
Rat Race (Rat Trap)
Wizard (Magus)
Elongation (Prolonged)
Derelict (Dreadnought)
Midship (Prophet)

16 classic maps, assuming the two mystery maps don't overlap with more of these Forge remakes. Of course, a new Forge canvas with a stable framerate would allow for more remakes (and better versions of the above Forge maps). I'd also be happy with some kind of patch/fix for Forge World's framerate (unlikely, but you never know).

Let's hope there's no forge world (the original retail one) in CEA because I don't want to play on forged maps anymore :/
