I'm bringing my brand new camera that I had to buy for class, so don't worry! I'm also bringing my laptop as well so I should be able to upload photos and share them to you guys if our hotel has wireless.

Just discovered bumper jumper (yes, i'm new lol)...Love it. I find it gives way more control than the default. I'm going to buy the legendary map pack this weekend; loving halo. I really enjoyed the dev videos up on market place that take you through all the new maps.

No, before it was just freezing with the checkerboard pattern. I got into a warranty dispute and was waiting for a response from MS. Luckily I turned it on yesterday (over a week after faxing them my warranty contract) to be greeted with my first RRoD. It was glorious! :lol

Looks like I might still be able to get it back before AU2 comes out. I'm going to be so rusty. However, I'm really looking forward to 6v6. :D

I'll get there around 11:30 unless I hear from Omlet and the gang before. Show opens at 2 right? Shouldn't take 2 1/2 hours just to get through will call, especially considering it opened at 8.

PAX!

I don't have to say it, but I know you guys will have a blast up there - enjoy it!

And for the Gears 2 fans there (like Domino), I need to get some impressions and if possible, footage!

Should have made this post earlier before you all left, but hopefully you guys will check GAF while you're there!

I'm at the PAX convention center with cocop, voc and dirtbag. We're trying to decide how early t get into line in order to make sure we get to Bungie's booth in time to make sure we get stuff. It doesn't open for three and a half hours, but the line is getting EPIC......

I waited in line for 5 hours to be first in line for Halo 3 when it came out. As long as you have people to talk with it goes by quick.

When I was first in line I scored a hat, a shirt, an inflatable chair, a 10 second clip on the local 10 o'clock news and a newspaper article. Below is a pic of the chair and shirt.

:lol

Out of all of the infection levels, I have to say that Valhalla's is definitely the most fun. The positioning of the teleporters as well as the ability to use BRs is just amazing. (The first time I played there I went +20 with 2 Hell's Janitors and a Running Riot.)

Also, Haunted Mansion in Foundry is just fucking awful for anything but Creeping Death. The turrets on the top as well as no cover whatsoever make being a zombie fucking awful. Get rid of it.

Speed Demons worked out really well, I think. It's one of the few gametypes where it actually feels just as fun to be a zombie as it does to be a human. If anything, moving as fast as a vehicle as you run around is exhilarating.

Full disclosure: Speed Demons, Death Valley, and ZOMBIES ON ICE are also mine. It came about when I was making the Legendary infection variants and was trying to figure out if there was a way to get Avalanche in the roster. I ended up adding Valhalla to Speed Demons to the roster as well after it performed well in playtests.

Not enough people use the vehicles in Demons, though! Riding the 'hog through a crowd of hammer-wielding zombies is all the fun without the fat.

Oh man, the hilarity of moderating B.net;

From someone banned for posting a Rick Roll thread.
Message 1:
[Do you] Feel cool for banning me? Does it make your pathetic life feel like it has meaning?
Do you scrounge around the forums looking for a thread to lock?
I think you take out all your anger on people because your life sucks.
I am laughing at your pathetic existance. And everytime i get banned for stupid reasons i personnaly make bungie and its mods look worse. We all laugh at when i get banned for stupid reasons and you may think your making bungie.net a better place but your not. instead of banning the jerks you ban the people that cause no harm.
trust me i will get this news out and you and all the other mods are pathetic. no one likes you, no one thinks your cool. and that is because of reasons like this. Trust me, by banning me for you it will truly turn out not worth it. The whole bungie.net community will see your patheticness.
So go ahead and continue to ban me.. because the forums suck anyway its just a bunch of 15 year olds talking smack. So overall you are an idiot who feels cool with his moderator status.
Get a life and do something good for a change maybe ban the people that deserve it.
Click to expand...

Replied to insinuate that I wasn't the one getting angry for having been busted on a video game forum.

Message 2:
well maybe it doesnt say a thing about rick rolls in the rules. So you banned me for a quite a dumb reason. I am gonna get in contact with bungie and tell them that i got banned even though it says nothing about rick rolls. And i will be sure to let them know it was you.
So your dumb and you cant think of a good explanation for why you banned me.
Click to expand...

Replied to indicate that in fact, Rick Rolling was bannable in many places and rarely accepted these days.

Message 3:
Well maybe you should learn to do your job right.
And not band people for harmless things and let the people who are racist and such get away.
Just because you take things personal. Just being a forum ninja is pathetic in itself.
You have Nothing to be proud of. In fact its an embarassment. Everyone i told about being banned for it laughed and told me the same thing: "The moderators on that site feel cool with their power trip, They really have no life" so you may think your cool but your really hated by everyone.

Aww man, everyone hates me? :(
