This is a bit OT but who's picking up Dust this week?

Dust: An Elysian Tail Launch Trailer

I've been waiting for this game for a few years now, and just amazed that it was essentially made by one guy.

Updated. Colors changed. Blue -> Green -> Red in increasing count, with darker = more.

I recommend staying in the back of the room and killing them off as they come along. Grab that pistol ammo. Give that a few tries.

But I'm not the most experienced person when it comes to CE on Legendary.

Why don't you make the green and red closer to the gamut from the blue so it feels more like a spectrum than distinct label colors?

Because California and Florida ended up in the middle of the spectrum of green and red respectively, so their jumps look kind of weird. I think I'll just customize the palette next go-round instead of using the premade selection.

Here's the original size scratch-work version

Yeah. He'll be bringing in an update which will actually go global, unlike the TU :p

Edit: Or else it'll just include Europe and possibly Austrailia, which is like the TU :lol

Yeah game sucks, we know that already, play Halo 3!

I do kinda want to play Reach in the run up to 4 because after Halo 4 comes out nothing will get me on it but the bad gameplay and fact that its seen its last update where new stuff is added (I presume), is off-putting. Thats not to say I want 343 to waste time and energy on it, just that theres literally nothing to entice putting in that disk.

Welcome to Reach.

Last night I had one challenge left to get the weekly: 23 kills in a MP game, or the L.D. Long Night of Solace challenge.

I tried a game of Grifball. Dude with blue flames had host, murdered everyone.

I started a FFA game, spawned low on Powerhouse. Look around, start to get pinged by DMR fire so far away I can't see the shooter. I fill with despair.

L.D. challenge it was.

Wasn't worth it.

Tomorrow, the only playlist in Reach I like gets deleted. This comes a few months after the other only playlist I liked got deleted.

Sort of aimed at Frank O'Ellis, but could 343 talk about their plans for Halo 4 post launch support sometime? Mainly about playlist management. Either in a bulletin, podcast, maybe even here?

Im assuming they've learned a few things from Reach and they won't be crunching on Halo 5. At least not initially.

When do you go?

I think I'm gonna have to put another bioshock run in (my tenth), some time soon.

Because, it's gonna be all about H4 after it launches, for a long time.

I still play Reach regularly. It's like my past MW2 addiction, I know it's bad for me but I am still drawn by what is does right. The feel of the DMR, the look of the sniper and the fun BTB forge maps still make me come back.

Some of the Forge maps could have been good... if the framerate didn't drop so low or maps that are actually supposed to be symmetrical (Asylum, cough) were actually symmetrical.

Didn't mean to say they were perfect though, can't totally see and understand why people hate them so much -- but for me it's perfect in a strange effed up way.

Yeah thats what ive been doing, just finished Dues Ex, which was awesome. With Reach though, as I know its basically going untouched once Halo 4 comes out I kinda wanna play it at sometime.

Still got the free games trial till the end of the month, then its not too long to go until Halo 4 anyway.
