Well sorry if we thought the guy who doesn't like Skyrim has other fucked up ideas.

The manager at our local Starbucks doesn't like it either. He said everyone told him it would be all battling dragons above soaring aeries, casting magic at dark wizards and screaming sonic death at great bears and wolves. He says so far he's gotten lost and eaten a lot of bugs.

No 12th terminal.
No VGA trailer.
Now I'm worried Frankie will tell me Santa Claus isn't real.

What's your drink of choice? I usually don't suffer next day hangovers either... Mine usually hits that night if at all.

What, why was your name banned? I googled it and still can't figure it out.
Hahaha, I like how you have to explicitly say that you're not speaking in code.

343's got it figured out.
Do not hype Halo 4, because once the Halo Hype Machine starts rolling, it can't be stopped. That way isntead of falling short of the hype, Halo 4 will pleasantly surprise us. Maybe even blow us away,
Genius.
They're probably holding all the hype for a hype blitzkrieg at PAX East amirite?

I like surprises. After Halo 4 got prematurely announced I was sad.. Imagine watching E3 and not knowing it was coming. So I am all for some secrecy surrounding Halo 4. Heres hoping we dont have to wait long though.

I'll never see the draw of booze but I did by a shitton of pop for the thankgivings
144 cans of tooth destroying goodness
We've still got 60 of them left.
If they bring back Game Fuel for Halo 4, MS needs to convince Pepsi to sell it for less than 6$ a 12 pack.

Mt Dew and Zero were the first ones to fall

Someone please save me from Cormac McCarthy's The Road. I don't know how much more I can take.
It's this book that's preventing from unboxing my Xbox for the break and playing Anniversary.
Seems kind of pointless now anyway, I guess. Gotta go back to school tomorrow.

Are you kidding? That's a fucking amazing book. I would have killed to read that in school instead of shit like Catcher and the Rye.
Although I did read good stuff like 1984, Brave New World, Catch 22, Animal Farm and the like... but still, The Road would have been a great addition.

Cormac's writing style in The Road is like bloom in Reach. I was actively trying to read and follow along instead of enjoying the narrative.

He's just saying it won't blow us away, not hard to agree with that specially with it being released on the same hardware and engine as the previous games, plus how often does a videogame sequel actually blow people away hypebole aside? I don't see it blowing away gameplay wise either, it either will please the fans or (they will ignore the original trilogy's gameplay existed and) it will just be a sequel to Reach.
Yes, I like Halo. You can like Halo and yet be pessimistic about the next title blowing you away.
Exactly.
For a Halo game to blow me away it would have to be something I know it won't be.

I agree. Remove Zombie gametypes from matchmaking.
To be fair, it's as much as a sequel as Return of the Jedi can be regarded as a sequel to Revenge of the Sith.
New Trilogy. New enemies. New (or ancient?) conflict.
I gots hopes.
Ehhh...followed.
Hey, I tweet about movies I saw too. Watched the remake of Fright Night.
I would not mind being locked up with this vampire:

14 months of Xbox Live for 39,95, that's a pretty sweet deal.
Gamestop has finally added the ability to purchase Anniversary Map Pack codes
Took them long enough, although I guess they haven't been hooked up with an image for it yet? (Defiant has one)

What if, instead of vehicles, you get in a hovering smart bomb emitter that plays ice cream truck music and lures players inexorably, and against their will, towards its blast radius?
Unless they do a complete reboot with new gameplay mechanics that include shorter encounters, re-tooling weapons to make them more useful(*plasma rifle*, make it actually stun people again), in-game changing triggered events ala interactive environments, I don't think much will change about the multiplayer side.

Fixed.
It's so boring. Almost nothing happens within the first 200 pages (5/6) of the book. I could have someone who has never read the book start at page 200 and he'd be completely caught up. He would not be lost at all.
Then there's the repetitive dialogue that encompasses 90% of the dialogue in the book. Here's the format:
1. Question.
2. Statement.
3. Question.
4. Repeat question as statement with either a "yes" or an "okay." And "okay" turns into his go-to word.
Not only that, but most conversations have a finality to it like McCarthy intends each conversation to be the last in the book. Makes it harder to get through each conversation as the book goes on.
And he doesn't use fucking quotation marks. It was driving me up the wall.
I can understand that if you're not in the mood for this kind of book, you're not going to like it, but still. The book could easily shave 200 pages and not lose much. Ending was done well, I thought.

So you weren't blown away when you first saw FREAKING JETPACKS?
To each his own I guess Dax, I fucking loved The Road. I do have to give you one thing, the whole non-use of quotation marks was driving me up the wall too :lol
One of my favorite trolls of all time.
Wait, fighting grunts, elites, and monkeys with hammers isn't still fresh and fun for you? I love it. Those wacky grunts make me laugh every time with their zany lines.
