Just had an epic BTB on Sand Trap:

We filled up 6 Ghosts!

Someone look at that and tell me Covies isn't fun. I dare you.

SailorDaravon said:
Yes, which is why everyone is adblocking it or putting you on ignore to avoid it.
BTW, Sailor, isn't your avatar someone from the PSP FF Tactics game?

GhaleonEB said:
And Dax is exactly as enthusiastic in life as on the forum. :lol
:lol Yes, the loopy excitement is very real.

Good games, G, Cocop, Dax. It's nice to play some serious co-op (looks at TGS members.) I'd like to play more often. My favorite moment: A jetpack brute drops a tripmine. A few seconds later, another jetpack brute lands right next to it, and I shoot the tripmine with my BR, sending the brute flying. The point of this story is: put the tripmine on Valhalla, Bungie.

BTW, we're doing our part:

What is that image and why do we keep posting it? I haven't paid attention to this thread for a while, I probably missed it.

At least 5. TDG, BBash, Numbers, SailorDaravon, Voltron64.
I don't have anyone in this thread on ignore, and I don't really care about avatars.

Well, I did ignore Max_PL.

Yes, Agrias.

Would you recommend the game to me? I was going to pick it up for the PSP, but I'm not sure. I have FF3 for the DS and I think the battles are too mindless and the grinding is too tedious. It seems (from the title) that the game would solve those problems for me. But I'm not familiar with FF Tactics. Would you help me out?

It's a post-modern rebuttal to Dax's avatar. I've been waiting for him to say something. And it is the photographic embodiment of the phrase "F YEAH".

It's a tactics game, do you like tactics games? It's not a direct comparison since they're different kinds of games, but in general terms of comparing battles I wouldn't say it's as mindless/grind heavy as FF3 DS was.

What if ironically he has you on ignore? That's pretty fucking post-modern.
 
I just played through three levels of the campaign with a friend to do my part to raise the kill count. Warthog rape never gets old. <3

Yeah, I like tactics games. Well, that sounds good to me. Thanks for the help, I've bought games before and not completely understood how they played, and ended up hating them, so I wanted to avoid that.
 
I dont know if this message has been relayed yet.

The following messaage is from Domino Theory / Oml3t (EazyB alt)
Code:
Dear Dax01;

I hate you, and your posts, especially that avatar.
So please stop posting before I make my triumphant return.
 
Oh for fucks sake guys, cut him some slack. The shere amount of dumb ass posts in here accumulated by everyone else will eclipse his 10-fold. Nothing wrong with him or his avatar.
 
Sai-kun said:
Also, yes. >_> Who the hell cares about his avatar? Are you guys really that easily annoyed or distracted?

weird
Says the person who has the Marty erotica scene with Peter Moore as his avatar :lol

But in all seriousness, poor Dax has been getting reamed over the past couple of pages. He's done nothing wrong.

Useless post #274
 
Be nice. Dax is an enthusiastic guy, but there's no reason to pick on him. We're all friends here. Except TDG. He hates everyone.

Dax, the combination of very frequent posts plus what is an attention-grabbing avatar (for better or worse) isn't setting well with the natives. Just sayin'.
 
Dax01 said:
:( I'm sorry. I don't mean to be annoying, I just post. I'll stop posting, then.

There's no reason to completely stop, I don't think anyone's suggesting that. Just slow down a bit, that's all.
 
I say we name bitching at each other the official sport of this thread.

Dax is, as Urk might say if he still played Halo, a good shit.
Now, let's be peaceful.

Actually your avatar never bugged me, I don't know what is supposed to "bug" me about it. I figured complaining about it bugging people was a halo 3 thread meme.

It's k, Dax. Don't get all cut-cut.
 
Wow, everyone just split. I should probably be resting but if I happen to be up when you TJs are done playing TS, then shoot me an invite.
 
I just took like, over 30 shots of that Tsavo run with Cocop. It brought the epic, as they say.

I'm tired, so just a few highlights.

Taking down Phantoms on the garage encounter. We got both of them down.

This guy was kind of pissed.

Cocop "helps" me take out a Chopper.

Into the great wide open.

Cocop takes out a pesky Wraith in the last big vehicle battle.

We admire the wreakage from the two downed Phantoms.

Rawk. After all this time, campaign still amazes me.

Looks like I took out 109 enemies tonight. It's a start.
 
Just hopped onto Bungie.net to find they've added a new tab in the game history section of the service record. Now there's Matchmaking, Campaign, and Customs. Good thinking.

In the three campaign missions I did (two of them with Merguson) I killed about 350 enemies.
 
Wow, played three games tonight with an epic final blow dealt with 30 seconds to spare on a 1 flag RBTB.

We are tied 1-1 going into the last round.

Towards the end of the game, I grab the "cloak of invisibilty" and run in with my excellent support spartans taking out the bag guys surrounding the flag. I grab such flag and run with my tail between my legs out the garage door, yelling my ass off for a ride on the mongoose outside.

My savior comes, I jump on with the flag and commence to get pelted with BR fire, losing all my shield. I'm gonna die, I know it. I'm shouting over the mic for my driver to get every ounce of horsepower out of that damn atv.

We make the corner, rounding the great wheel and I let out a shout of relief. The announcer gives us the one minute mark. We are ok though, since we just have to round the bend, hit the beach, and score for the win.

We hit the corner through the gate and get on the beach.

HOLY SHIT

There is a ghost sitting over the flag capture point! He starts firing like crazy and I know we are screwed.

My driver says "Fuck it. He ain't gonna stop us! We're going straight through!"

My reply: Oh, shit


Dude drives us straight into the ghost, somehow we drive straight by. He is peppering us the whole time. 10 seconds left.

We hit the area full speed. I jump off, like the agile spartan we all know I am, about to die and lunge for victory. And make it it right, dieing as I score. Success!:D

Winner: Red Team!

These are the experiences that bring me back to Halo.

Here's the game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=573473327&player=NH Apache

No pics for now, I'll throw them up manana.

Oh, I was playing with someone, Gamertag: Life Story, who is a gaffer, but I don't know his GAF tag. GG!

Edit for Pics:

Ok, When I got the invis, there was 58 seconds left...

2nqfgp5.jpg

Invisible, I sneak into their base and chill for a bit, waiting for reinforcements

Thinking its clear, I grab the flag, not knowing I missed 2 guys, sheilds in the red!

Waiting, not so patiently, by the mongoose, Crying for a ride!

4 wheel slide around the corner, getting peppered

We round the corner and.....Oh crap

Halo chicken, the best it gets

^^3 Seconds left!!! Nimbly jumping, about to die SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT

SUCCESS! Dieing just as we score the winning point. SO AWESOME
 
Boo I thought when the Customs was seperated from MM it meant there was career stats for Custom games.

At least this is a step forward though. Thanks Bungie.
 
So it's not quite as good as the original from the picture thread, but I've always wanted a higher-res version of a Phantom being brought down in the most epic fashion possible. So a friend and I did it tonight.

 
Ok lets be serious for a second.

Dax, you can post as much as you want, we were mostly kidding around with ya. and really do not have a problem with you posting, just slow down a bit eh :p

The Avatar doesnt bother me either.

I like it. Gives me something to look at while my shitty work internet loads the pages full of win (picture stories)

Still hate her music though :P
 
Jesus when the cat's away the mice will play. Looks like I missed out on some epic Co-Op action with Ghaleon/Cocop. Maybe next time aye.

Awesome Shots there. I love Theater screenshots so much..

I'm going to start my grunt massacre early today.
 
Ramirez said:
Urk, I dunno if you're still capturing shit, but I sent you one last night, that Scorpion really flipped out after it blew up. :lol

I am. But only for MGS4. Are you playing that?

;)

I'll set it up this afternoon.

But it now, goddamnit.

NOW.

Ghaleon, I would love to do some co-op sometime....but I can't know if you're online, seeing as you denied my FR. :(

lol

It's k, Dax. Don't get all cut-cut.

Internet bullying is never okay.

I should be on tonight to supplement that need. Hopefully, you guys are too.

Also: What happened to that screenshot of "Super Johnson the Invincible" when the Brute's forgot to snatch him in Sierra 117? That'd be a lot of fast-forwarding through many deaths so I understand if we never go back to retrieve that moment of hilarity in screenshot form, but let me know if you do.

I forgot to save it... If you or Ghaleon have it and can get it to me, I'll fast forward through it.
 
And yeah, last night was a blast. It was really cool taking down the second Phantom filled with 7+ Brutes before they could even get out of it.

Ghaleon taught me that you can aim for the glowing white turbine-ish things on the Phantom to bring it down quicker.
