wtf? I've been all over b.net for years. When did this page show up?
Many, many years. It's really obscure Bungie lore. IIRC, on the sign near the water on Zanzibar is a reference to look for the Soffish (DO NOT EAT).

Yo, Ghaleon, Imma going to Seattle next week and dropping by Bungie Studios... Do you want me to ask Jerome to see if he can get you an actual Scoffish?

Noted. Bungie will be on high security alert next week. All security guards will be equipped with Gravity Hammers.

Do not mention me to Jerome in any way shape or form. You should, however, introduce yourself as "from the internet", and ask to see Jason Jones.

Of course Jason Jones will ask to see some guy from the internet! It all makes sense now.

I'll make sure to bring my SPlazer.

Maybe I should ask Luke to be on the lookout for some 16 year old with a "Halo 3" t-shirt on, taking pictures of Bungie Studios. That way, I'm sure to get my own personal "PAX."
:lol :D

And bring a camcorder ;) ''You know, people are going to want to see how this all went down.''

Jerome being on the podcast this week is going to have a special sort of relevance, methinks.
 
Anyone up for some halo right now? I've had a good string of games lately but i didnt get to play yesterday due half a bottle of vodka the night before.

I'll definitely be on later, right now the wife is trying to do the last mission in GTA 4 and failing for about 4 hours, I don't think it would be wise to try to boot her off it at the moment :lol
 
Theme and Gamerpics up now on marketplace. I gotta say, way better than last year. I'm definitely using the theme for a while. Gamerpics are great too. Ghaleon your wishes came true, I'm sporting my soffish right now..:D

Thanks for the heads up.

The theme's game page has a huge superintendent on it and Ghaleon, the system page has the soffish. The gamerpics include a soffish, superintendent, and pimps at sea (luke's avatar atm).
 
"Non Facete Nobis Calcitrare Vestrvm Pernevm"

can anyone translate latin for me? Thanks,

Darn it. all these sweet theme backgrounds are obscured by xbox stuff...
 
Numbers has the crazy idea of making T-Shirts with the Superintendent on them and selling them to you GAFfers. I told him there's legal issues and he thinks he'll be fine as long as he makes no profit (see: only charging what it cost him to make the shirt and shipping). Which one of us is correct?
 
xxjuicesxx said:
I want a superintendent shirt. Bungie store, get on that.
Oh, you know that's coming, whenever the game is revealed (and their store comes back).

Can anyone take a pic/capture of the Superintendent theme background?
 
GhaleonEB said:

Yes, can someone? I can't get to my 360 atm. Whatever happened to that site that showed the themes?

BTW, I think that we should abandon this thread tomorrow except for Cold Storage talk (unless they show new maps or something.)
 
Question for the Halo 3 multiplayer pros:


What is the best resource for tips/advice/strategy for multiplayer? Can someone point me to something good? I've always been good at online shooters, but I really struggle with Halo for some reason.

For Team Slayer trueskill 27-28 is my limit. I've found watching replays of Ogre2 to be pretty useful (watching pros in Counterstrike and TFC is how I improved in those games). Anyone have any other advice beyond good sites or replays I should watch? I know playing a lot is probably the answer here, but I really seem to be stuck on a plateau here.

Thanks

I downloaded the theme and gamerpics while in-game (halo 3, duh). Just press start, go to marketplace selection and its at the bottom of the list.

Watch replays of your own games. Figure out how the other team/players outplayed you. Take notes on what you should have done differently.
 
This is weird... I just started playing Head to Head, and got a match made with only me in it.

I thought the other guy must have lagged out or something, like occasionally happens in Team Slayer and you get 4v3. But the game has started, and I'm sitting here on Blackout BR3 on my own.

7 minutes to go! Hope I win.

That sounds like good advice, I hadn't even thought of watching myself. Thanks
 
The superintendent is just too sexy.

Rockin my new avy :p I was going to use the gamerpic one, but it turned out all blurry when resized. So instead, I looked at the list of avatars Tieno collected and chose the one that fit my current mood. Although, I could re-create the gamerpic in photoshop in a higher resolution. I'll see how that works out.

UPS still says that my 360 has the delivery date of 7/7/08. :D

Mine is on its way back apparently (just under a week from it breaking in the first place!), but alas I will miss the theme and gamerpics. :(
 
Kibbles said:

I was really tempted to set my gamerpic to the superintendent but then realized that my mister chief gamerpic is not saved on my new 360 and since they're not available anymore, if I were to switch it I'd never get it back :(

If it's the same gamertag go to your Recent Downloads and try and find the Bungie Day 07 stuff in there somewhere.
 
My prediction since they're now a "multi game studio"...

Superintendent game/whatever announcement tomorrow

Other games announced at e3

Next map Colossus 2 or Waterworks 2 reveal and hands on at PAX or early hands on of the next map pack along with hands on of Superintendent game/whatever

Maybe some trust worthy real-life friend could recover your Gamertag on his box and download it for you.

I was going to have a GAF friend recover my account and download the Bungle day '08 stuff if I don't get my 360 back to do it myself. This same GAFriend also deleted Campaign Spoilars way back in the olden days.

But yeah, try to get a real life friend to do it. Some of these GAF kids are weird.

Who is the octopus looking guy in the gamer pics?

Matches up with the superintendent artstyle a bit.
Pics or it didn't happen

Lucky :P These are the same items that will be up tomorrow, correct?

WE MUST PLAY GAME TOGETHER.

...

As (I think) most of you know, I have been playing the Halo 2 campaign over again, and I am playing the level "Sacred Icon."

Can someone please tell me what the hell this thing is?

And here it is being destroyed a few moments later, further into the level.

Oh, and you're welcome TDG you ungrateful fuck.

Friends don't have to say thank you. But we aren't friends. Thank you!

...Isn't that the Sentinel Factory? Man, I haven't played that level in a long time... good level, too.

Sentinel factory.. I do believe

Edit: Late.

:( I'm going to cry now.

Playing this level has reminded me how we never, in Halo 3, encountered situations where the Flood controlled vehicles. It was an interesting twist to fight a warthog and a tank.

The first thing I did when I got my new 360 was go through all 400 of my downloads and redownload them. And to make sure I didn't miss it I rechecked today and it seems like Bungie Day 07 has been wiped off the internets.

With Frankie departed from Bungie I find it hard to bring myself to lose what's left of him. :P

The way some of the AI teammates drive the vehicles you'd think the flood were controlling them. Coincidence?
