Starting today, I am going to be replaying Halo 2's campaign just to get reacquainted with the story. I'll be giving an armubaba story summary of my latest progress, and, when I'm done, I'll rely on you guys to clear up any of my questions.

On a different note, man, I can't wait for the patented "Bungie Halo twist" in Halo 3. Halo: CE (sorry Lamonster) had the flood, and Halo 2 had the Arbiter. I had the latter spoiled for me, and, while I didn't think much of it at the time, it would've been a whole lot cooler if the information of him as a playable character was left un-divulged. It did sort of detract from the experience. I had the whole Bioshock spoiled for me, and I am really hoping that the inevitable "OMFG" moment of Halo 3's campaign isn't revealed to me beforehand.

Wow people....I thought spoiler marks meant spoilers.....SORRY...

 

[Buttonbasher]

Crisis semi averted.

 

[Lakitu]

Dude take out the spoiler now.

God bless you.... that was close.

 

[The Elite]

I guess Halo 3 spoilers are not the only ones we have to fear in this thread.

I once looked at his gamercard when he was on line and got spoiled for Bioshock there too. He's like a living breathing spoil.

 

[pringles]

Gaahh did you have to put in that Bioshock spoiler? Yes I know it was spoiler-marked, but I'm pretty far into the game and I was certain it was just the "other" big thing that happens in the game..

 

[traveler]

If you haven't taken the time to play through Bioshock yet, you deserve this fate.

Spoiler

I kid.

(And, no, what I put in tags is not an actual spoiler)

You know, I thought the whole subcaptions on what level you were on in Bioshock was kind of stupid. They were riddled with spoilers and I really hope those dont become a trend on live. You know, the whole "escaping from an under-water madhouse..." being the first one. The later ones revealed plot points.

My predication, the twist in Halo 3 will involve a living forerunner or forerunners. I'm hoping if I believe it hard enough it will come true.

Why don't we have 2 different spoiler tags? like, a gray one for jokes and a black one for real spoilers. Given, it would be seriously lame but it would be help out people who don't want to be spoiled..

Knowing that your character is really a Giant Panda in a human suit doesn't ruin Bioshock anyway. It's still a good game.

Brimley armor variant has been brought up before. The Mongoose turns into a horse. And if you get a splatter with the horse it's a Beetustacular

 

[MrDaravon]

Holy shit, I just got a live call from someone at the Gamestop where I have Halo 3 preordered. They're calling everyone to confirm that they're doing a midnight release, you can start lining up at 11, and it's going to be catered, and there's going to be a band :lol

I see what you did there.

Right. I remember something about a Beetustacular but I totally missed the joke behind it. I always do that

I am fail. It's all good though.

Roanoke VA. This is the Gamestop inside Valleyview Mall (there's another GS right outside the mall).

 

[armubaba]

I apologize, guys. But really, we just had a huge spoiler discussion a week back, and I put Bioshock in front of the spoiler. What would compel people who haven't played the game to highlight it? I guess it's bad on my part, I shouldn't have put the spoiler in in the first place, but come on people, use some common sense....

It's okay. We never got to talking about the 'Liberty Testing Supplies' Equipment. We could speculate...

I'm just here and so missed what it was about (though I can imagine, having played the game), but I don't think you're to blame. There're too many things spoiler-tagged around here that aren't really spoilers at all, and instead little jokes or something. Ghaleon had mentioned this and warned people to take extra caution once this thread had gone up. I know Halo 3 isn't released yet, but still.

The Official Halo 3 Thread spoilers: Serious business.

Oh, I will.

Also serious question: does anyone know if you can charge the 360 wireless mic through a USB port on a computer or whatever? I don't want to have to leave the 360 on for 3-4 hours every time to charge it if I'm not playing the system. I did a search on GAF and google, and couldn't find an answer. The manual just says to plug it into the 360 USB ports, I don't want to plug it into my PC and fry it or something bizarre.

What is the max friends you can have on XBL? I thought it was 200 but I currently have 100 and haven't seen it go higher than that...

100 is the limit.

From here:

You can have up to 100 friends on your list at a time.

Edit:
Wow, I even refreshed just before I posted this to check if it was answered already, so all three of us must have posted within like 5 seconds.

When I was in New York last summer, the mall I went to to pick up a gift had one Gamestop literally fifty feet from another one. Pretty weird.

The Star Bucks population is extremely high where I live. On one four way intersection three of the corners have a Star Bucks.

Going to big Launch event would be nice; however, I would be happy with any Launch event, Denver is always ignored.

No, it's charged via a USB cable. Your answer doesn't even make sense. Anyone else?

He's just angry that all of these stupid people that want to get extra content with their Halo 3.

If it's charged by USB you should be fine using PC/360 or anything else.

I am assuming you already have the Mic?

I think you can use the ports on the 360 to charge even if it's off. I use it to charge my Zune sometimes.

My Wireless Mic has an AC adapter plug in.

Wait, you're talking about the Official MS Wireless Mic, right? Mine is charged via outlet as well....

But yeah, if it is USB charged, then you should be fine with your computer.

Okay, that's more what I'm looking for. If I can charge it while it's off that's fine. You would assume charging it via a PC or something would probably be okay, but I don't feel like taking any chances. And if the wireless mics usually come with AC chargers, the Halo 3 one does NOT.

Edit: And shit, the manual says to turn the console ON while it's charging, what the fuck? That has to be wrong -_-.

 

[zam]

The regular wireless mic is charged with an AC plug. But you can charge the wireless controller by plugging the play & charge cable into any USB port, so I guess it should work with the mic, the only thing that the cable should be sending is electricity..

I just bought Halo 3 wireless mic and i'm charging via computer. I will not leave my xbox on for 6hrs while this thing charges
