Man, seeing that boy on the machine is heartbreaking. Strong kids. I really hope they make the medical breakthroughs to make it easier on them and other sufferers.
Kids a baller, man. We take a lot for granted and it takes seeing courage like your son has to make us realize how easy most of us have it.

Damn. Well I wish you and your family the best of luck bro.
Just had perhaps the funniest and strangest experience in MLG matchmaking. From spawn a guy began shooting me constantly, I invited him to my party to ask why and he said it was because I was a Liverpool fan. Baffled I continued to verbally joust with the guy and he revealed a raft of both disturbing and increasingly hilarious things that he genuinely believes, I'll list them:
- Muslims and Polish people are all ill mannered, and they 'steal our jobs.'
- Call of Duty is a game designed by the US government to introduce children into the army from a younger age so sign up rates increase, which equals more money.
- If you look through Call of Duty's maps you'll see small triangles with eyes inside, obviously the illuminati.
- People become celebrities by selling their soul to the devil. To do this you must kill someone and write your name in their blood. He insisted he'd never kill anyone, which reassured me.
- He insisted that the illuminati believes some government was responsible for 911.
-When I asked him how he knew this, offering suggestions such as the 'illuminati Youtube channel', he responded with...
-The Illuminati Card Game, created in 1985 that predicted the twin towers disaster and also predicts a similar catastrophe for the upcoming olympic games.
- And finally, the piéce de résistance, the Illuminati card game is created by none other than
At times I was in stunned disbelief, others me and my friends were crying (literally) with laughter. Especially that last part. I had to go and get a glass of water. Jesus.

There isn't a Halo/GoT twitter like I was hoping there would be, so I'll post this instead
Got tears in my eyes. The way these kids, your kid and others deal with this is immensely inspirational. A heartfelt hug to you and yours from this internet friend. <3
Great vid. Sounds like your kid has that same courage. Props to him. (And to you.)
What? Dammit I was about to jump in to play some ZB Slayer with a friend! I thought there were still a few days left! Guess I'll play some Halo 3 (or Trials).

<-- Needs firefight impressions.
Firewhat?
Got my headset in today. Went with the Turtle Beach X41s. Got them for $77 on Newegg. So far, I gotta say, they're pretty damn good.
Oh boy, more forge maps in Super Slayer. Just what I've always wanted.
Is it double game completion or double victory bonus though? Big difference there.

Dolby is really nice for gaming. You should notice your Halo/Reach/4 game-play improves by being able to accurately identify where people are on a map, and what they brought to play with.

Going from Reach Super Slayer (whatever it's called) then back to H3 Team Slayer is like a night and day difference.
Get here fast, Halo 4.

I've messed around a bit in Halo 3 lately. I forgot how much better the maps in that game were. I mean, Reach maps aren't terrible, they just aren't as good as 3's in my opinion.
I was also amazed at my apparent ability to seamlessly switch between Default in Reach, to Bumper Jumper in Halo 3.
Gonna go play some Firefight... gotta get that Field Marshall.

Was going to hop on here to "share some impressions" of Super Slayer and to ask if the Halo 4 release could be nudged up a bit, if only for GAFGold members, but you beat me to it.
I have not been enjoying my time with Reach for the last several days. If Squad Slayer still existed I would be able to bounce between Anniversary and that to get my fix, but I'm getting very burned out on Anniversary and Super Slayer is too Armor Locky and Gray. Normally I'd chalk it up to being burnt out on the game, but even now I feel like playing some Halo...I just feel like I don't have a Halo to play.
It should have been updated. Go check it out.
Also know what sucks is when you're staring down the barrel of a gun of a deadline, pass out, and don't even feel like you slept when you get back up. Freaking REM, how does it work

Well that was "alright". Didn't find it as frustrating as I remember finding it, probably just to me being more patient, and doing pretty well for someone who doesn't play the game any more.
Also, oh Elite Slayer, you silly thing. I still have a soft spot for you in my heart.
Those kids are amazing..
Kids (like yours) and parents (like you) have the strength I hope I can build some day.

Found this at target. Seems vaguely similar to Saints Row The Third "penetrator."

"Found"? Are you sure you didn't mean "sought"?
That was kinda tough to watch but also moving. I am sorry your son has to go through that but going by your other post he sounds very strong. I'm sure he'll grow up to be like the kids in the video and I'm sure the CF foundation will discover better treatments.
You're blessed.

Woah woah woah... What's with no NEP in Score Attack? 
Wow... well you and your son are absolute troopers. Before that video, I was completely ignorant to what Cystic Fibrosis even was.

Yea I should have looked at headphones a bit more. I like the Astros but the whole "Wireless" is deceiving because its NOT wireless. No matter what you still have to carry around the wireless mixamp piece and a wire goes from that to the headphones.
If you want to talk you have to add an additional wire.
I know the talking part is on Microsoft.
But cmon its 2012...
I just want a Wireless controller AND Wireless headphones without ANY Cords.

With my headphones on I'm hooked to my controller, monitor and 360. Fuck cords.
Thanks guys, I know I'm rarely ever serious in here, but the fact that you guys took the time out to watch it and maybe educate yourself a little about the disease means more to me than you could ever imagine.

Well I was interested when they said it was future, but this trailer is "meh".
2025... meh... I suppose it's not surprising that I'll be playing Halo 4 in November.
If someone says something nice about the graphics, especially what some people said in the Halo 4 thread, I will punch myself in the chin

I'm just hoping 343i don't come out with a trailer that says, "Actually, the future is grey"...
It'll be nice to see people praising Halo for it's graphics for once.
