Add me to your friends list. I play everyday.
I'm going to start up again REALLY soon, but I have to find some money to get that Halo 2 headset. I'm not willing to purchase that shitty official headset anymore.Quote:

I'm adding you to my friends list tojokun, I didn't realize you were from TNL when we were shotgunning eachother in the heads the other night.
I've been on XBL for a few weeks now, but have only had a few days of playing logged in. Just haven't had much time lately.
I'll be on at some point tonight. I've mainly been hanging out in the "Rumble-Pit" and playing random people.
You should stop hanging out in the Rumble Pit. It's way more fun to kill random people with your friends. When I used to play Rumble Pit, no one would talk, so it got boring after a couple of matches.Quote:

I agree with BrAnDX105, don't bother spending your money on the Halo 2 headset. I've read reports that it's not worth the $50 (too uncomfortable, feels cheap). Buy a cellphone headset, preferably a cheap earbug model. I've said this many times before in this thread, but they're less obtrusive and more comfortable than headsets. I also sent you a friend invite.Quote:

Some good games we played tonite, especially that last Neutral Assault on Beaver Creek. No all we need is these so called new maps to come out and voila, 16 player CTF custom games on Sidewinder!
I concur. Sleeveboy, EvilMog, BrandX, and I went on a tear last night, and it was hella fun. Too bad Bungie's site stats are down - I wanted to revel in our multiple victories.Quote:

Here are some of the games from last night since you weren't able to post em Cow:
EvilMog was only in this match for about a min and a half, and then the rest was left to 3 people. And look, the people we played against were in such a sweet clan they needed the same avatars!
More Team Slayer
then the rest of the games, including the sweet Beaver Creek Neutral Bomb are still giving me errors so I can't post em...BASTARDS!!
I can't access those stats, Bungie.net is telling me thisQuote:

Are you guys playing tonight? I will if some of you do. I'm off from work for 8 days starting today so I can play whenever. Unless of course you cant pry me away from RE 4, Mercenaries and Zelda tomorrow.
It's up in the air for me. Tuesday and Wednesdays I have to get up at 5:45 AM, and I value sleep. If I do decide to play Halo 2, it will be at 11 PM EST.Quote:

I'm down for some games tonight.

I just quit WoW, so I might start playing this again.
I'm curious, why did you quit WoW?Quote:

Last night, we didn't do as well as Sunday, but we (EvilMog, Sleeveboy, BrAnDX105) won two Big Team Battle games. It was fun.
So arjue, when are you officially back in Halo 2?
Oh, and BrandX, tried is spell with an "i", not with a "y". Just letting you know before someone else on the board makes fun of you for it.
Yah, I decided it was a good idea to smoke a huge joint then make a bunch of posts last night, which is where that whole retarded sword post came from. Now at least I know better! :bang:Quote:

Personally the one thing that puts it up there with morrowind is the Trade/Profession thing. Making my own shit and then selling it off (even though it's mildly difficult since everyone else who's my profession is trying to sell their shit too) is a lot of fun. I've probably spent more hours in Ironforge or Stormwind city advertising wares and swag (and making a good amount of money on it) than running around questing. Checking market prices, putting the right price for the right level, accepting trade goods for a discounted price when I know I can get more money by selling the trade goods. It's good fun.
That and gryffon-riding.
In Morrowind I was doing that as much as I could, as I mentioned earlier when I was trying to find an NPC vendor that had enough money to buy my shit, but once I found out about creeper it was just no fun anymore.
Morrowind's world(more actualized even though more bland to look at) + story + combat gameplay is just better/more fun though.

I am playing right now for the first time in a month.
If you have the means, I highly suggest you join me.
Dammit, the return of Opaque and I have to sit out tonight. Will you be on tomorrow? I'll definitely be on then (same time as always, 11 PM EST).Quote:

Most likely.Quote:

I'm home. But I'm blasted. So tongue to you. :p
I'm pumped to play, but the xbox is set up in my sisters room and she has friends sleeping over, so I probably won't get to play it until tomorrow.
btw, I'm the only one in my clan playing anymore, so can I join your crunk ass clan instead? you've probably seen me play, I'm not bad.
What's the password?
uh, is it please? or OPEN SESAME
I'll send you an invite.Quote:

No, you fool, it's IBTN. Duh. :pQuote:

So wait, arjue, you realize there arn't more than 3 people really playing in our clan either. Out of 20,000 people in the clan though, 3 ain't bad!
Remember that time when our clan was ranked 3rd...that was until we got beaten by Team Hebrew...
those were the days man.
But that's typical TNL style. We play/do too much else with our lives to remain at the top, though the talent is there.
(Even though the opposing talent wasn't really there until a week in.)
Yeah that was fun times. Too bad I'm out of practice and some of the guys we went into match making with were crappy, though. Things should be better tonight.Quote:

Don't forget me ya bastards! I'll be on probably.
Hey Samurai, who uses the XBL EvilMog account more? You or EvilMog?Quote:

I have to go to a family party tonight, so I'll be on later. Normally I'd just stay home and paly with you guys, but there will be food there.
3 is more than 0.Quote:

Ok, I'm getting on now.
Yeah, I didn't see that coming either.
You're not on now. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON, YOUR NOIR WINGS DAMN'T...!

So basically the SamuraiMoogle xbox is the extra xbox we only use if there's a game we both want to play online together at the same time.
Get it??
I am mother fucking back.
And from the looks of it Chux has gotten his Halo 2 skillz back also :confused:Quote:

I was half asleep
And the one trying to get us to do more ranked matches, tsk tsk.Quote:

I did alright in our ranked matches, I just wasn't feeling the custom game.
Its amazing how much your skillz can drop after not playing for a month or so.
started playing again. ITS ON!
I sent everyone who played tonight a friend request. We should all play more often.
Regardless of our losses, I still had a lot of fun (except for the Snipers custom game, zzzzzzzzz). We got to do that again soon.
That snipers game was awesome, I got like 6 asassinations.Quote:

As am I.
I really should play some PoP2 today though, you know, before the Halo 2.
Looks like people are starting to flock back to this game, it's about damn time.
Depending on whether I get drunk early tonite or not I should be on too.
I should be on.

Well that's what happens when you refuse to use the rocket launcher and lame ass vehicles. You get second placed.

Also, there is no rocket launcher on Lockout, and basically no vehicles on both Lockout and Acension (I don't count that beat ass Banshee, because well, that's exactly what it is).
There's always a rocket launcher with Fiesta mode!
I actually think Fiesta mode is a pretty cool option, though I really, really wish you could disable the rocket launcher and sword. We play on this mode a lot at work, and way too many rockets and swords get thrown into the mix.
We also play with the default second weapon set to SMG, so you've always got something passable (though the SMG really does suck serious shit--at least it beats plasma pistol, magnum, needler, and brute plasma rifle single-wield).
There's a rocket launcher in Lockout?Quote:
Originally Posted by MarkRyan
Yah, I didn't even think about fiesta mode. I never complained about the sword/ rocket launcher in fiesta mode though, mostly because it never bothered me. As long as you see the sword or rocket coming, you can get out of the way. They get yah though when you have no idea what's going on and BLAM rocket ot the face.Quote:

So you didn't use the sword, I didn't use the sword and I still won.
Hurray me!
Congrats :)
You're a really shitty loser, you know that?Quote:

Dammit, I always miss the good stuff. So any of you guys playing tonight around 11PM EST? It's the weekend, so I can afford going to bed late.Quote:

But that doesn't negate the point that games online ARE fun, regardless of the person who plays it social situation. I personally will never have enough people around to play LAN parties, and 16 player huge tournaments with my friends simply because I don't have enough friends who are hardcore gamers. Does that mean me playing online games to get some competition is a sad substitute? Absolutly not, I feel like it's the only realistic substitute. Not only that, but it makes it even more fun because I'm actually getting good competition in comparison to me playing against my friends who just arn't as good at videogames.Quote:

Granted, we won't be able to throw things at Chux or fart in Opaque's direction to distract him from his killing streak, but these are sarcifices that I'm willing to make so that I can play Halo 2 with a lot of other people without much fuss.
Two Xbox's and two TVs is plenty for a good time, and it's not too hard to get six or eight people together to have some of the best fun possible in gaming. The only thing that keeps me from doing it often now is that my friends live in Sacramento, while I'm in San Francisco. We still get together, but not often enough.
XBLive - "Don't even think about taking that ghost son. That shit is mine."
IRL- "I'll wrestle you for that ghost."

I just read the weekley update on Bungie and regarding the new map they said we'd be using the word "trench". I can't wait.
We need people to come kill with us.
Have at it.
How can I not play, with such a raving review as that.Quote:

Gay cheating bitches...

Yeah, they were big assholes.
Anyway, who's up for some playing tonight? I had better see g0zen and one other person who is good at killing people on so we can play team slayer with akidwhoeatscake.
