That's a slightly messed up reflection of the force field / shield around the Spire.

Wow that is long. I'll read the whole thing later when I have time, but just from scrolling through I saw the pie graph about the weekly challenges. I hate that there have been more weekly's in campaign than multiplayer and WAY more than in firefight.
I just had the experience most appropriate to XBL.
Mr Redneck there is about 8 years old. Zero Cool (ironically enough) had taken the persona of that old homosexual guy from Family Guy. They never stopped talking the entire game. I could not possibly explain the laughter that was induced from such a situation.

Heading towards bed now, but I know what I'll be reading during my lunch break tomorrow.
I really love how the jetpack looks/sounds/feels in Reach. The movement is very natural and it's great fun to use.kylej said:
I just wish it was a pickup only. I absolutely hate what it does to map design when everyone can spawn with one in vanilla Reach.

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to make sure I had this right (working on a huge excel file right now).
Tashi, let me know if any of this is wrong.
Sikamikanico, you're playing on other rosters, right? Let me know if not.
You can definitely play Customs, just not until your tournament community has lost and been eliminated from the bracket. I was compiling a list of people that were ONLY going to play customs. No worries.

Super team just pulls members from Team 1 and Team 2, right?Tashi0106 said:
Then no, I don't really need that at all.
I think I have the master roster compiled... it's a beast. I'll count it up and give statistics tomorrow. Bedtime for now.
Should be happening at the same time as the tournament, so starting at 7pm.GhaleonEB said:
I think right now we have 96 gamertags that are only interested in customs, so there are a lot of people hoping to join but not an unmanageable number. Especially if we can get multiple lobbies going.
I was kinda surprised, I figured the Customs rosters would be longer for every community, but many only submitted a tournament roster (and mentioned they might want to play customs if/when they lose).
Ah, lol. Sorry.GhaleonEB said:
It's happening this Saturday (May 28) at 7pm EST.

Oh. For some reason I thought it was another weekend. D'oh.ncsuDuncan said:
This weekend is my anniversary with my wife, and we're away from home on vacation. So please take me off the customs list with my apologies.
Also, the Challenge article is now split into five even, logical parts, so hopefully it's not so intimidating and some stopping points are in place for those who don't or can't read it all at once.
Pretty funny fails video up by AlaskanWhalers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PSC_M4xvbo
So, had an amusing night in Firefight...ran into a kid that sounded like he was younger than Dax who wouldn't shut up about STRATEGYIESZ to kill Hunters and Elites (and pretty much anything else). That's always fun...
Also apparently broke this Elite's AI in this Score Attack game, somehow. Productive night, this.

Damn you, Letters. Just thinking about E3 gave me the chubbs.Letters said:
If anyone is feeling constrained by the bounds of societal pressure, trying to do too much in too short a time, here's some comforting words. And in a time when technology makes us more connected than ever, we've never been so alone. Take the time to enjoy the people around you. I haven't been doing that lately.
GG's to Tunavi, vhfive and Tunavi's trash-talking friend. Got a Ninja in one of the games we played, baited him and all that.
Link to download or if someone wants to render, much appreciated.

I just came to talk about Squad Slayer. Played with EazyB, nutter and ram tonight and it was just wape after wape. Same with objective. It makes no sense, but I like it. I won 26 straight tonight, 33-2 on the whole. Feel almost as good as I was at halo 3 a few years ago.

I messaged you on XBL earlier. I'm thinking about pulling an all-nighter. I'm about an hour away from doing it without trying.Tunavi said:
Also, I posted some really crazy things tonight. :lol
And people are emailing HBO complaining about their credit bans. Classic.
Just insert some CTF and Assault games, like 2-flag on Tempest, Anchor 9, or Neutral Bomb, etc.Tunavi said:
Straight Slayer to me gets stale fairly fast. Doesn't help they have three full built Slayer playlists, two of which are just one more teammate and one less AA alike.
The melee is doubtful to change. Though to be honest I haven't gotten annoyed so much at double melee as I did to Halo 3's constant and berating simultaneous beatdowns.
So I have been taking quite the break from actually playing halo. Playing a single game in MM here and there for the last couple months. Today I'm going to see if I can still do a marathon. And then between games I will be reading Ghal's challenge article.
If anyone else is on just swing me an invite.

No way. The pattern is far too distinct to be coming from the shield, but I'll investigate further by looking at some other B.O.B.s.Falagard said:

I just got the newest OXM in the mail. They tease the CE remake again. Saying that "on 11/15/11" we'll be playing "the anniversary".

I'll be parsing this over the weekend from a remote mountain escape. 3 day weekends ftw. I expect vintage GhaleonEB analysis and having already spotted 2 graphs from a quick glance at the first page, disappointment is doubtful. Thanks for putting in the time and devoting such effort for the community's

About the tournament stream: how are we going to watch team one dong undefeated through the entire bracket? Answer me that!!! Suffice to say that team 2 will be just as dominant I have no doubt, but it'd be nice to watch the TJs+ as well
