Looks legit to me. I also just won a new MacBook Pro for being the 7,932,054th visitor to this website the other day. And my dick got bigger from playing Evony.

Oh it's legit. I am like totally playing it right this minute. I have to say too. Bold move 343 by going with a time travel twist. I never saw that coming. Simply amazing seeing locations from the first game from a whole new perspective. I always wondered how weapons got to certain places or how equipment etc got where it did. So to find out just awesome.

You have to be 21 to drink alcohol in the USA? crazy country is crazy
Yup, same in Spain.

I wonder what's the minimum age to own a gun/rifle there :/

Well legally.

If your talking guns in the US, it's 18.

Of all the odd design decisions in Reach, this is perhaps the most perplexing one. It just flat-out doesn't make sense.

My friend's younger brother has one and he's only 16. In Iowa you can't buy ammunition until you're 18.

Also, lol.

Yeah gun laws are by state, but typically most states are 18 I believe.

Finally got around to posting on the new Waypoint forums. Much nicer. Slight bug maybe:


Looks like the conversion didn't deal with my gamertag change too well. I previously posted as "FyreWulff Rex" on Waypoint's forums because that was my gamertag initially. I had it changed after OXbox Live opened up the old tags, but I still posted as "FyreWulff Rex".


Now it seems on the new forums I post as "Fyrewulff" (matching my current gamertag), under a completely different account id and post history. Separate profile and post count, everything. Don't know what happened there. Can't access FyreWulff Rex in any way. Whoops.

You can see it in this thread:

https://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postst13748p2_T-U-R-F-S--Matchmaking-Files--Updated-10-19.aspx

edit: even more strangely, I can view everyone's profile on the forum except the one for "FyreWulff Rex", it throws this error:

Access Denied

Sounds more like the old bug got fixed.

I just assumed they were imitating Bungie.net funtionality - I still post as FyreWulff Rex there. (Wish I could get it changed).

The bug in this case is that if anyone pays for a gamertag change, your Halo Waypoint post history and profile are going to start anew. I think the intended function would be for your forum display name to change but your profile id stays the same..

Since Glasslands is coming out next week (!), are we going to see what the final cover looks like beforehand?

I could've sworn that when the Glasslands cover was first revealed, 343 said it was concept art and that the final cover was still a work-in-progress.

It's the final cover, deal with it.

Eh, it was more awkward and unoriginal then funny. Just to quote a post that details how I feel about that specific picture:

When Gandhi did it: Str8 Rippin ALWAYS beat Carbon for top 2 and then Carbon finally 3-0d them.

When Infamous did it: Ninja trashed talked them like 2 events ago and then they beat Ninja 3-1 (11th seed) after Infamous coming off an event win and then used someone else's joke. Blaze's interview following that was just awkward and I've never seen someone so unenthusiastic when they are trying to trash someone. The whole thing just seemed weird.

I felt more embarrassed for them than Ninja.

I was wondering how he executed it/the audience took it.

You need to walk a fine line between a clever in your face moment and embarrassing yourself.

Looks like someone who is good who doesn't have a lick of sportsmanship.

Pretty much. I think the general anonymity that is coupled with video games encourages behavior like this. It's a shame really.

I don't like it in sports either. I was just taught that sportsmanship is really important from a young age. Its different if they are friends, but I'm not sure they are.

In general sportsmanship is treated pretty importantly, when there is an instance of unsportsmanlike conduct in major sports it usually ends up being a fairly big news story, the individual apologizing and in some cases the league penalizing them with either a fine or sitting them out for a period of time.

If they are friends and the other guys are okay with it I guess there's no harm. That seems like an odd thing to do to a friend though.

Sportsmanship is for losers. Being respectful is one thing, but when I'm facing someone in game, or in a real life sport, I want them to be miserable at the end.

Did you guys cry in little league when kids would say "batter...batter...swing!"?

But how is displaying a toilet paper roll after beating another team being respectful? I can definitely see the humor in the toilet paper roll, but there's still a fine line between being cocky, but still respectful, versus being an ass.

Making someone miserable because you played extremely well is fine. But giving someone the middle finger after a game is something altogether different, which is what the toilet paper roll is essentially implying.

Also, the batter batter swing comparison is not really the same thing. That's something done during the game from both teams. Jeering, more a less, is a part of baseball (always has been), whereas giving someone the big FU to rub it in their face after a win lacks class. But that's just my own opinion.

I suck at MLG, and I've got a life outside of Halo.

Awful analogy...


Celebrating because you are happy, and you won, that's great! Being a dick and rubbing it in someones face is not. It gives you, and your potential team an awful image. Not to mention it promotes things like fights to break out. If you want to see people fight watch boxing, when people fight because some football player, or Halo player, was a dick to someone else, its just immature, uncivilized.


You two have attitudes that give gamers a bad name
