...because official just isn't pretentious enough.

I'm a terrible player (never played Halo before), but this is pretty much all I've been playing lately, as the general VG thread can attest to. So rather than continuing to derail it every few days, I thought I'd start a fresh thread that will be lucky to make it to two pages.

Feel free to share pics, clips, game variant ideas, and match experiences.

To bribe Sek into posting, I leaving a Christmas sig for him here.

As it appears my crappy comcast web site that was only used for hosting photos no longer exists, (

) I guess I'll go see what all the fuss about Flikr is (or however it's spelled).

edit: Social Stats for now.

editx2: My story got messed up in the other thread. It appears it was just me and my friend playing Team Crazy King, results are the same.

(note the overall kills for the blue team)

I'd hate to play against you, snipers are hell.

Which reminds me, you excited for Ranked BTB coming in Jan?

sek929 · Dec 14, 2007, 11:55 AM

Hell yeah, I really want to play a ranked match in Sandtrap.

Me and Cheezy were playing yesterday but it seems my new router can't handle having two 360s signed in at the same time. Blast! I totally would have invited you to come win with us (I don't think we lost any Social games) but I was pissed that we had to play split-screen instead of having two TVs.

Well if you ever use the mic, I'm up for some teaming up. My qualifications are as follows:

I'm looking forward to it particular because a few of my friend who were late comers and haven't caught up to me in TS will be able to play something ranked with me. That and other than Rocket Race this is all we do in social.

Here's a new screenshot I took yesterday...the guy in the Mongoose was pissed

BTW, I don't think I have ONE single kill with the Banshee, and you have 38.

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 14, 2007, 12:03 PM

That reminds me, I love the people who make Halo 3 Motivational Posters.

Here's one of my better ones:

I have a mic, but it got stepped on so the process to hold it near my face is long and ridiculous.

Why would you wanna hear my jerk voice anyways?

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 14, 2007, 12:05 PM

Because knowing what you want to do if we team up is going to be tedious without it.

sek929 · Dec 14, 2007, 12:08 PM

I play anything, I would totally let you be the man...err I mean party leader.

The only gametype I can't stand overall is Neutral Flag....besides that I'm game for anything.

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 14, 2007, 12:10 PM

Get one for Christmas loser

(I forget, whats's Neutral Flag, only one in the middle of map?)

sek929 · Dec 14, 2007, 12:12 PM

Yep, also known as pure chaos.

I'm a huge fan of round based games of Flag, Bomb, etc.. Multi Flag and Multi Bomb annoy me a little but Neutral is always a sh!t show.

sek929 · 12:25 PM

If I'm going to get one I'd probably opt for the wireless headset.....if only I didn't have to get presents for OTHER people.

It's nice to see SO many other people taking part in this thread, isn't it?

Just call me the Headshot Honcho

I despise the round based games, with the exception of territories.

I didn't expect much, but now I don't feel guilty for completely flooding/derailing/taking over the Main VG thread.

Territories on Valhalla is a beast of a game.

I dunno why I like round games, I guess it's mostly because I relish playing defense. I'd say I'm twice as good at defense than offense in most objective games.

True enough, but eventually we are going to run out of screenshots to post....

Warthog can be key there if you're good. By the same token, I love it when some idiot buries it in the middle of 4 and all you do is toss a grenade and everyone dies.

I thought about it, and I realize why I hate those games. You're either going all out kinda throwing yourself at the wall, or you're sitting, waiting for something to happen.

You obviously haven't looked at my bungie page, or my flikr one. I should figure out the geevee thing and start posting film clips.

sek929 · Dec 14, 2007, 02:58 PM

I get lasered almost 100% of the time when I use a vehicle in Valhalla.

Edit: Just got to 41, yay!

sek929 · Dec 14, 2007, 03:05 PM

Ranked Stats aren't as impressive
