How come some of you are married/have gf's and play videogames instead of having sex?

Try having sex while playing videogames or even playing videogames while having sex.

I'm so lonely
I just got engaged a couple weeks ago... Will probably disappear from the Internet all together.

Covering your tracks? ;-)

Congrats man. Don't waste all the money that's normally spent on a wedding; use it for something useful like a down payment on a house or a nice honeymoon and/or sex dungeon. Heated rubber sheets aren't as cheap as you'd think.
 
So Halo 4's DLC for the most part (with like 2 exceptions) has given us a range of maps that all use the same sort of bland aesthetic despite taking place in a holodeck.

Meanwhile CoD has a whole variety of cool aesthetics and locations for its maps:

They even have a remake of a fan favourite! Seriously tempted to pick that map pack up for Firing Range alone.

sums up this community as of late.

I appreciate creative gifs that make sense contextually, but some of the shitty gifs you guys post are just embarrassing.

IE: milhouselonely.gif is cool
unnecessaryreaction.gif that doesn't make sense is annoying

Would people be upset if Halo made "silly"maps in a mappack, like the recent Call of Duty mappack?

Silly as in, one map is on a movie set with UFO's, and tiny cities you can walk through, and another in the middle of a concert stadium. I feel if Halo ever made that move people wouldnt like it.

If they were happy with the current selection, sure. Not that you can keep everyone happy.

Depends on the maps. If they play well idgaf if there are ponies and rainbows in the background.

I really wish Halo was getting the treatment BlopsII is getting. They seem to be doing everything right yet its the wrong game for me...

When is a million dollar Halo tournament? What'd they do give away a 50k truck? Thats kind of embarassing when put next to this...

Halo is the game that should be doing remakes, but doing remakes now with jetpacks, PV, and camo in mind it becomes disastrous. Though really, not many maps do well with them in the first place.

I'm in the same boat.

Halo 4 sucks and black ops 2 sucks.I don't have a reason to play xbox anymore. Thank God terraria just came out!

I think you always chime in when Blops II is mentioned and go on about how bad it is. However I don't think a game with that kind of population and proper support sucks. You should just say things like that games not for me.

When looking at Halo 4 though!...the population generally supports the statement "Game stinks" if one were to say that or want to say that.

I mean a few people's good game/bad game sensors may be off but when you're talking about a mass amount of people like this, I think its safe we can conclude in this way.


I know I'm rooting for Team Clayster, hes been posting on facebook about trying to get his team together all month though lol. I feel bad cause his team was really good but all three players besides him weren't legally old enough to play in this, so he had to start from scratch even though he carried his team to 2nd place I think? Maybe 3rd or 4th I cant remember. Used to play Halo 2 1v1 lockouts matches with him all day.

Based on how often I hear the sentiment that both Halo Reach and Halo 4 are good games, but not good Halo games I would assume there would be a lot if people upset, because that isn't Halo.

Too bad though, I think there is room for it all. Who knows maybe people are more reasonable than I've been lead to believe.

I'm another one for TeamHeadphones, but it is like getting a tattoo, you just keep wanting more. Things that once seem ludicrous to you start to seem not just reasonable but neccesary.

So COD is making something like Halo didnt and wont do it, interactive and out of place maps .

Disagree to some extent. I haven't felt the need or want to upgrade my headphones at all, but I do miss them when I'm gaming without them. But that's because I feel they add to the experience. I've gone from Turtlebeach X11s to X12s, and that's only because they stopped production on X11s.

lol I've been using TurtleBeach X11s since they came out.

Currently I am using XP Sevens and for some reason on those I can tell whether someone is approaching from left or right door in the main chokepoint room as I camp the back corner. Sounds silly but it gives me four "easy" kills in SWAT from one location (if nobody is standing at the generators on the far east of the map.

Normally I hear three or four footsteps and can't figure out if they're left or right, on speakers or other phones. I usually choose "right" but it's a high risk, low reward option because of DMR's in the dirty south.

They're faulty headphones. Had that problem with Astros and got another copy. I'm sure Turtle Beach does the same (if you bought a warranty). I recommend the PX 21's.

[quote="Stinkles, post: 52683258"]Nah, I am saying the XP Sevens are exaggerating or broadcasting the mix in a good [I]useful [/I]way for left/right positioning. It has made my scummy camping 50% more effective.[/QUOTE]

Ah, read "can't" instead of "can." Congrats on your camping skills. It's hard out there. PX 21's are still beast.

OMG I hate audio discrepancies so much. It would drive me insane to deal with stuff like that, I had issues with my av cables once on my X11s and I hate to buy new cords because it would keep outputting sound louder in the right ear compared to the left and I literally just stopped playing my 360 until I had gotten new cords because it was so disorienting and annoying. How do you deal with it?


Ohh, just saw your edit. Well that's.... helpful. lol

I had mine the wrong way round for a week. That left me scratching my head in a lot of situations and questioning my ears. Figured it out in a custom game when my friend was running in circles around me.

I felt so stupid. So very, very stupid.
