I've come to learn that most people don't make sense, which in turn makes none of that surprising. I don't frequent HBO nearly as much as I use to because of people like Cody Miller though.

Luckily he's not around near as much there anymore thank god. It just gets annoying when he only pops in to obviously troll.

That said so I was thinking. I was playing Halo 2 again the other day after finally taking a break from Anniversary and I was noticing how cool Cortana looked and that got me to thinking about which version of her I liked the best out of all 3 games and what she'll look like in 4 and beyond. I must say I really think Halo 2's Cortana was the best Cortana. It looked like a higher quality version of the original with just a few tweaks to make it look better. I didn't really like the change of her in Halo 3 and now Anniversary. So to get some discussion going which Cortana is everyone's favorite version?

So, im not sure about this, but since we are way Off Topic ill just say it.

I think our beloved devo might have a facial hair fetish.

I think the HBO LAN will more than make up for it, especially if Bry comes up with the good.

Halo+Mario kart 64+awesome people=heaven.

No LAN is complete without these console games:

Halo:CE
Super Monkey Ball
Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Brothers
Mario Party 2 & 3

Indeed, also some kind of sports game, I'm partial to a little bit of NFL blitz.

Where is Fusion Frenzy?

 

[KevinRo]

Where is Fusion Frenzy?

I was going to list it but all the mini games on it sucked dick except that one original one where you have to dodge metal beams while going up an incline. That was the best one.

*edit*

Actually. thinking about it Fusion Frenzy had some alright games. But it was no Mario Party. Mario party left me with sores on my palm as a child. I remember my teacher asking me about them in class. She thought I was beaten at home or something. looool

 

[feel]

that's uncanny

and lol at the OXM guys pixelating the Original side of that poster for the Halo 10th Anniversary magazine cover to make the graphical jump seem even wider. How could you guys say yes to that... xD

You just made me respond to him. :/

Oh shit you did too. lol

ROFLMAO at Overdoziz reply.

Ass-kickery.

P.S. I still can't get over HBO's layout.

It's an acquired taste. You never truly love it but you learn to live with it.

Reading your post with this in the background made for quite an entertaining minute.

While mentioning Halo Soundtracks - All the soundtracks on Sumthing Digital are 30% off until December, if you use the code CCSD.
This includes all* of the Halo Soundtracks, including Legends from which Tashi's montage track comes from.

Who's that? Should I know him? Is he your father?

I'm pretty sure you're kidding but for anyone who don't know who he is.

Do you guys know if there are any drawbacks to redeeming the downloadable version of Reach? I just bought the holiday 360 bundle and it came with it.

There are none other then you need to have the HDD space for it. I have it since they replaced our preview disc versions with it and love it. Saves my discs. Slowly but surely I think that and Steam are turning me into a DD supporter. The HDD prices of Microsoft aren't though. lol

Frankie: 2, World: 0.

 

[kittens]

Never heard of the guy.

I love how Halo has so many sub-cultures. I can be obsessed with the franchise for ten years and not know who some (apparently) high profile guy is. Halo has the most fragmented fanbase of any game I can think of, but maybe I feel that way just because I'm steeped in it.

Edit:

Please embroider it on some fabric in bright colors and hang in living room.

I'm totally using that line some day, hah.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Fucking rolling at Overdoziz's reply. Classic.

 

[squidhands]

Can we get that embroidery with the special edition of Halo 4? I'd much rather have that than another statue.

You bastard!

 

[bobs...onGaf]

We will endeavor to make every new Halo story serve a purpose that feeds directly into the mainline series, and create connections and resonance that many fans will enjoy.

aww, does this mean that another Halo Wars esque spin off is unlikely?

I was really looking forward to Super Chief Kart, or Halo Wars 2, where you could actually take control of a Spartan and kick ass from the first person perspective Toy Soldiers style.

 

[Plywood]

I honestly don't get how you can let little shit drive you to hate shit so much and then keep talking about it. If you hate shit then move the fuck on. It's not hard.

Sage advice.

Heh, I played a few games of Carcassonne this weekend.

-------
HaloGAF, I have two ideas brewing right now that I think are pretty awesome. One that involves the greater Halo Community and one for our own little corner of it. You have been warned.

Also, tonight I'm going hunting for CEA easter eggs. After digging through this thread I think I've got the right idea.

Run, Ellis. Run.

Should I start the Indiana Jones theme?

 

[Tashi]

Tell us

 

[Louis Wu]

Sounds like a Halo Community Veteran to me.

Cody gets a lot of hate, but he does a ton of good, too.

He's just finished re-recording all the Halo 3 and Anniversary cutscenes for us, in 5.1 surround sound. Pretty frickin' cool, you ask me.

(I should have stuff up later this week.)

 

[Hypertrooper]

Tell us

I'm going to my cd shelf, looking for the Indiana Jones OST, put the disc into the CD player, and start the track.

Cody gets a lot of hate, but he does a ton of good, too.

Can I maybe ask why? He doesn't sound like a bad guy for me.

 

[Louis Wu]

Why does he get hate?

Because he's pretty aggressive with his views, and occasionally (okay, usually) comes off as an arrogant sonofabitch. He rarely allows for actual DISCUSSION in the way he approaches arguments - it tends to piss people off.

Which is nutso, because in real life, he's a totally reasonable person.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

All your life has been spent in pursuit of easter eggs. Inside the game are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it opened as well as I. Hypertrooper, we are simply passing through history. This, this is history.

 

[Kujo]

Edit: No downtime, so the numbers are probably fudged atm, surely?

Well, Halo had a good run lol

 

[daedalius]

Well, Halo had a good run lol

I think they are doing maintenance right now, or they were according to their FB feed.

 

[Hey You]

I wonder when the 343 store will start selling merchandise.

 

[Kujo]

No its cause everyone decided to stop playing until we get Halo 4 footage

 

[Blinding]

Or its because it's 2:30 PM on a Monday.

Damn I should adjust my clock, didn't know whole world changed to EST

Honestly...

They just need to sell the Hoodie. Or they should sell it to me. It would be my holy grail.

The player counts are incorrect at the moment due to maintenance.

 

[Kujo]

The player counts are incorrect at the moment due to maintenance.

Thought so, it's usually 10x that amount at this time

Still want Halo 4 footage though

I'm not surprised. I think a lot of people act differently with their online persona vs who they are when you're hanging out with them.

 

[Sai-kun]

holy shit it leaked

You are so jealous. I'm surprised you didn't post the other games I was playing :lol

That was nice of him indeed. I don't hate the guy so much. It's that I just hate his attitude. You put it best when you said he comes off like an arrogant son of a bitch. He comes off like he's the god of Halo and the authority on what is canon and isn't. Then he just harps on it over and over and over till you want to strangle him.

That's sad too because as you said and I've heard from others he comes off as a very likeable and reasonable guy in person.

 

[The Librarian]

Yeah. Tashi may be a pro online but in real life I bet he's a huge pushover in Halo.

I was hoping to find this out at Providence, but alas, he didn't show. :[

Ow, I see they fixed the weekly daily.. progress was wiped though.
