So, what, wait... :lol

*Goes off to work on another revision*

Thanks for the shout out, Urk. Although you've forced me to do some 'splaining to the other half. :lol

Dang, I'm away from Home at the moment. I already have in mind as to how best amend the article and it will be done when I return shortly.

A 343/HaloGAF humpday would be easy to put together. Voc, Cocop, and Frankie are already here. They could just pull a hobo off the street and call it a team.

By rights, shouldn't a 343/HaloGAF humpday be 8 people in a party watching Legends together?

When I invented the Humpday, you were typing Pokemon jokes for Kotaku* and covering Sonic cosplay weekends.

Just type something very very vague that could be taken as the BR coming back...wait that's if you want to derail this any further.

Scratch that....go with what Trasher said. :D

Dani - did you turn off access to the Reach article?

It's giving a 403 (Forbidden) response now. :(
Click to expand...
Yeah, I was looking forward to reading it during my lunch break. :-(

On a unrelated topic, I had a blast in Maption Sack this weekend. Please bring it back soon, Shishka.

Derailing the thread..

Pizza Hut sucks, lets face it. It's a greasy slop of goop that pretends to be pizza.

A tasty and cheesy slop of goop. Hard to get the grease off hands even after washing, though.

To make up for the taste, don't tip the delivery guy. Or tip him too much. And drink burnt-tasting Starbucks.

Hey isn't today your big day on Waypoint? Congrats!

Yes it is. Thanks. :D

I wasn't sure how they would edit over an hours worth of Q&A down to one vid but it turned out great. I remember them saying, "We came for an interview, and left with a PodCast" (or something like that).

Hey Dani, when I click your link, I get a:



Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at forwarduntodawn.com Port 80



As far as Settlement = Powerhouse goes, maybe it's like GoldenEye where more than one stage encompasses the same terrain? ie Archives, Stack, etc.

I was watching the multiplayer trailer again and something caught my eye.

In the first "Spartans vs. Elites" shot (1:07), it appears that the Elite players are holding Plasma Rifles. If those are indeed Plasma Rifles, then the projectile effect seems less of a bolt and more of a beam or bullet trail. I haven't seen anyone mention this.

Edit: Just watched your video on Waypoint, Nokyard. Congratulations, and great job!

Forward is back up, apologies for the down time, I still have not found out why.

Nokyard is on Waypoint? Awesome! Your work is amazing dude! It doesn't matter how carefully you've explained it to me before, it's still head frying! :lol

Since Reach is going back to hitscan, does that mean no more ricochet? I can't remember if ricochet was in H2.
Click to expand...

Nah, when bungie talks about Hitscan they mean it as the bullet just has an infinite travel time. Somewhere they said they were still modeling the path of the projectile.

Brian after that tease, if you guys don't post about something new this week on Bnet at least release the recorded podcast early!! And how about a halogaf shoutout in one of these future recordings. :)

Dani said:
:lol

I was on my here to do just that! An extra thanks to my fellow HaloGAFer for assisting me with some proofreading and fact checking.

Bring it back!! :( I was reading it at work this morning but got tied up with something and didn't have time to finish reading.

Good times. Our team stayed undefeated for the whole time I played that night. Once Tashi came in for the other team I bailed the fuck out, before he ruined it. :lol

Not sure what this has to do with Halo, but I loved it. Chatroulette can be so great when used in ways like this. :)

Just watched the video, congrats. I'd like to see a longer version, it was quite fascinating.
