I'm on now (1:50EST) if anyone is up for it, I'll be playing for a while I think.

I honestly can't remember much about the other characters. I always found the pilot to be hilarious, but I'd never play as him. The beret wearing black clad special forces, I think I'd do.

I'll be on at 2:30, most likely, I'll send you a friend request.

Just played with Chris and dhustro, I sucked it up at BTB

Chris Gilpin · Dec 21, 2007, 04:28 PM

That was fun, good game guys

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 22, 2007, 08:26 PM

I would have made some type of snide remark like, "You would have won if I'd been there" but then I saw the final score.

dustrho · Dec 22, 2007, 09:31 PM

Had a blast with you guys yesterday, and Chris we sure did have some good Team Double action going on. We'll have to play again really soon.

Chris Gilpin · Dec 23, 2007, 09:16 AM

Anyone up for an early game today? (23rd, 10:15am EST)

I am available to play until noon I'd guess, not sure if anyone is up for it in the morning

dustrho · Dec 23, 2007, 11:22 AM

I would but I'm too busy getting things ready for an early X-Mas party.

Tyinturru · Dec 23, 2007, 11:09 PM

i ended up getting a used 360 as a christmas present from my dad just a few days ago and he bought halo 3. i beat the game and yesterday i went and bought a LIVE card for $8. i just figured out that i need the wireless adapter for $100 or i can't play online at all (ethernet is out of the question). anyone else think it's strange that there's no built-in wifi? i'm kind of disappointed.

i'm dying to play halo online, it looks amazing.

Stogieman · 11:41 AM

Yeah, not having built-in wifi does suck but you don't have to use Microsoft's $100 adapter. Any ethernet to wireless bridge should work. Like this one:
Belkin Wireless G

I'm using an Airport Express myself. (It was practically free after my $100 iPhone credit.)

I'm going through a bit of xbox withdrawals these last couple days. Been at my parent's place, sans xbox. Even if they had one, their crappy satellite internet connection wouldn't allow for network play anyhow.

Hope you peeps got some good stuff for xmas!

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 26, 2007, 08:07 AM

Well Saturday I sat my ass down as 19 and decided that I was going to make a run at 21 -- It's been probably a month since I hit 20, and I've revisited it twice since then, only to derank fairly soon.

Things started off well, I reeled off 5 straight wins, and it seemed like number 6 might take me to the promised land. Loss. Take a break. Win. Loss.

It was all up and down from there. I spent an extended period of time as a 20 for the first time, and the first thing I noticed was I was getting serious occasional negative death ratios for the first time in a long time. But in the end, Those occasionals turned into a streak and I deranked back to 19. Then I played with my 15 friend and back to 18 I go. Again. I may never play ranked TS with a friend again.

So, to sum it all up, I still suck. I can't wait for everyone to carry my ass in BTB.

dustrho · Dec 26, 2007, 08:14 AM

I played a little bit last night by myself in rumble pit, and was doing pretty good for being exhausted from the long Xmas day. Then some of my friends came online and we played ranked slayer, and that's when it all went down from there. I had one game where I had just one kill and 15 deaths! I have never in all my Halo playing days played a game so poorly. I respawned almost every time with members from the other team, and once I got sniped by accident the second I respawned. I know that bullet was meant for someone else on my team, but it was about a second after I respawned and then I was dead. I was embarassed by that performance, but things got better for me after time passed.

I'm gonna be playing in a little bit if anyone wants to hook up. Shoot me a game invite if you see me online.

Yeah, it happens to all of us. My M.O. on bad games is that I usually kill at a slower pace, so sometimes I only come up with 4-6 kills.

My biggest gripe with Halo has to be the respawn system. It's atrocious.

Oh yeah, I forgot to include today's pic. For $100, name what's wrong with this picture:

jokell82 · Dec 26, 2007, 09:32 AM

The cloaked guy right in front of the ghost?

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 26, 2007, 09:33 AM

Mostly correct. He's actually in the process of boarding:

dustrho · Dec 26, 2007, 09:58 AM

I just finished playing a little bit of Lone Wolves, and I didn't do so hot. I don't know what
