Yea I switched up the dodgeball rules. Thought a normal game would take too long.

And they said I didn't know how to play...

Centriflux-Fuge, I like it when the teleporters on the bottom take you to the top and vice-versa otherwise theres no real way to get up top to your base other than going all the way to the top wood and jumping in.
73427727-Full.jpg

Not the best place to be, look closely at that top control.

Excavation is really well made and aside for a few level breaking spots it would fit well in perhaps a social objective playlist (neutral bomb and neutral flag and multi-flag) perhaps 3-ball.
73426961-Full.jpg

Here we try and defend the ball in a base (quite unsuccessfully)

An overhead (I really like it, quite a beautiful map)
73426270-Full.jpg


BUT! look a little closer
73425625-Full.jpg

Azar defending the flag with a bit of accidental (Maybe not so accidental!?) tea baggage.

Here an overhead of the complete chaos that is paintball, Its growing on me I absolutely hated it when we played on Sand Trap last night I think, maybe its because I did better this time around (Didn't even do that good), or maybe I just like this little arena better.

Sai-Kun chilling (not unusual) :lol
73425013-Full.jpg

As I was dead for the round I noticed those symbols on the elites back and thought they looked quite familiar.

73431807-Full.jpg

Familiar INDEED.

The last game of the night Mage Slayer FFA, I summoned the power of Dax.



I have to figure out a way to keep people on the platforms I guess for The Stoning but ultimately it would be a part of many gametypes that go by fast designed for quick mini-games.

-As always Ber Ber Creek and Sanctum were solid and need to be submitted to Atlas (no excuses)
-Abaddon is good but its fucking vehicle CHAOS, its a good custom game but I can't see it belonging in MM.
-Entrenched I really like submit to Atlas. Multi-Flag and BR's is a great time.

if you look closely its the grifball court nokyard made in the sky. I just dumped some shit on top of it

I'm a chill dude.
Moment of the night for me was when you hadn't moved for a whole round of Paintball and we were the only people left on our team. Somebody came around the corner right in front of you and got me, but you suddenly sprang to life and scored the winning kill. :lol
 
Azar said:
Our teams were a little unbalanced at that point, I think, but we never really got close to the arming zone. It seemed like Flag would work better than Assault simply because you can slowly move the flag across the map, but if everyone was familiar with the map and the teams were even I'm sure Assault is playable.
Thanks for the feedback. If you guys did a CTF or Slayer match, please send me the film. :)
 
Interesting customs, guys. Fun times in Dodgeball.

Sorry about Mountain not having the spawns set up, it must not have saved the last time I editted it, and by the time I got back in, you guys had already split up, and I didn't think Mountain would be good for 16 people.

YES!! That's the thing. he was so nice and friendly, just like a regular person!! I stammered a lot, but he just acted like everything was cool!
Urk's a cool dood. My first few thoughts when meeting Eric were something like...
  1. Shit, he's way too lucid for butt fishhooking. Rumors false!
  2. This guy does NOT sound like the guy from XBL.
  3. I wonder if he's going to eat the rest of his waffles.
  4. Damn it, Ben. Greedy bastard.
 
I did a few custom games with you guys, and had a good time. Not sure why, but I would get kicked from the party at the beginning of each game. I would have to accept an invite to get back into the game in progress, which was really weird. Has anyone else experienced that?

It was french toast. Almond and cream cheese-stuffed french toast.

Oh god it was so good you should have had some.

Did that to me last weekend, for the first two or three games.

Also, I learned that Halo 3 has a feature I didn't know about. I was playing on a Forge map, and my daughter wanted to join. She turned on her controller and signed in, and the game switched automatically to splitscreen mid-game and she joined right in, no backing out to the lobby. I was like, holy shit.

Haha. Not much of a compliment if you dumped shit on his map :lol :lol

Is there a person with the gamertag IxCloudxII on here? I got a random friend's request while I was in forge making a map today. I hadn't even played any games yet. Whoever it is got to watch me fail at forge lol.
 
OuterWorldVoice said:
No, it was in REAL LIFE! at a party.

He came with some hairy dude. Looked like a bewildered Ewok.

Bewildered Ewok drove me home. Hey wonna wonka. Hey wonna wongo!

Huh, I didn't know that either. That's pretty cool.
 
Shit! I missed Customs again. I need films for Atlas dammit! Anyone have anything from Mage saved so I can put it into the Atlas submission? I'd love you forever and ever and ever :D
 
Sai-kun said:
this just in: juices can't play dodgeball
i play a version of dodgeball in a court on the top of Standoff - the secret is to change your controller back to 'Default' so LT throws grenades, improving accuracy while moving

vhfive said:

i was careful to leave plenty of budget to encourage repurposing of the court - that shit is nicely laid out

too bad it doesn't work in reverse - too many times my guest would back out of a forging session without warning when she got bored, dumping my unsaved map

hey, i should join you guys sometime on your customs night - i'm not to good with anything that fires projectiles but can handle a hog, goose, ghost or chopper like a WRC Rally driver
 
Customs were meh last night. Most likely because I was playing split screen on a massive TV while music was playing loudly and I was trying to explain stuff to my cousins at the same time. It was sensory overload. I look forward to next time when I'm in my nice chair on my monitor with my headphones on so then I won't get out BRed by EVERYONE on GAF!!!...lol

Speaking of more custom: I'll be running some later on today to try and iron out the last kinks of Mage so i can get onto Atlas. Hit me up later on if you want in.
 
OuterWorldVoice said:
HOLY CRAP I JUST MET URK!!!1

Any questions, just ask!
:lol
Does... does he glow like a baby Jesus would?

I wanted to try out Outskirts to see if the adjustments I made were good and to see if I needed to make anymore. The party quickly became to big to try it out, sadly. Maybe next time. :(

I did have fun, though.

Mage v2.2 is godly!
 
Brainboy said:
I thought it was a good idea, but I guess it depends on how big the two areas are, how far apart they are, and how many people are playing.

Oh nonono, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult your idea. It was a really good idea, it's just rough because our arenas are pretty far apart and getting sticks like that is pretty hard, so it would take awhile. :P


The game isn't supposed to be dodgeball, it's he_grenade! :P
 
So...my school held a two day LAN Friday and Saturday, nothing too special, but here are some pics:
4htgcl.jpg

A set-up with my smexy black box. Note my extensive efforts securing my harddrive from theft.

Another typical setup; we had about six 360's methinks.

HAI GUYS.
But of course, being at a LAN didn't stop me from jumping in for a few customs last night with you guys.

I suggest if you haven't done so already, try playing some LAN. It's really a different, better game; it's like your shots actually connect and everything! Fun times were had
except for the fact that my black controller got jacked and I placed third in the 2v2 tournament FML
 
GhaleonEB said:
Okay, I gotta know what kind of gametype is called Socratic Method. :lol
Isn't that the map their on?

But seriously, my curiosity is piqued as well.

Wikipedia entry for Socratic Method said:
The Socratic Method (or Method of Elenchus or Socratic Debate), named after the Classical Greek philosopher Socrates, is a form of philosophical inquiry in which the questioner explores the implications of others' positions, to stimulate rational thinking and illuminate ideas.[1] This dialectical method often involves an oppositional discussion in which the defense of one point of view is pitted against another; one participant may lead another to contradict himself in some way, strengthening the inquirer's own point.
 
GhaleonEB said:
Okay, I gotta know what kind of gametype is called Socratic Method. :lol
An intense dialogue during which opposing schools of thought (red, blue) interrogate one another with all the incisive force they can muster, until truth (and blood, and guts) spill forth.
 
Just wait for the follow-ups, 'Cartesian Meditations' and 'Hegelian Synthesis'.

They will blow your minds, if in fact minds exist or can be understood to exist (for a given definition of existence).
 
GhaleonEB said:

lol. Somehow I became party leader. I found that map on Forgehub and the peeps over there were shittin bricks about how awesome it was. We loaded it up for some 7v7 and it was not fun. At all. The gametype was conquest and it is a really good concept, but it fails to deliver and the map was very linear.

Penguin, I was wondering why you didn't have a mic last night. And Frankie, you are always welcome in the GAF customs, provided you do Juices a favor or two.
I hear he's got the hots for ewoks
