The number of extraneous bumps, limps, indentations, hollows, nooks, crannies, niches, and extrusions on Blackout is absurd. Playing MLG just now I was running toward S2 from top mid and tried to skip a grenade across the surface in front of me to drop into the corridor leading from under glass to S1. The grenade nestled neatly against a completely random and unnecessary lip and took my shield down. I died a few seconds later.

People loved Lockout for the clean, light-blue look. So of course Blackout is a rusted oil tanker in the middle of the ocean set at midnight.

Again, this is what happens when people who are awful at the game or don't play Halo make Halo maps.
 
I always imagined Eazy wearing the flight helmet in real life... my dreams are shattered.

By the way, did you guys know that I wear flight as well?
 
GhaleonEB said:
Another highlight: watching Eazy slowly infect all of the Assembly stations with pink Flight helmets. At one point the game fired up and all but one or two stations had pink Elites with that damn helmet on it. It was like the Flood infect everything in sight, but somehow more frightening. :lol

Oh my god... :lol :lol :lol
 
I found eazy.

I heard DAX will be attending PAX next year with his Dad!
How is this suppose to be funny? If I can't attend Pax without a parent, so what? I'll be 17 by the time the next Pax rolls around, and if it's on the East coast, maybe I can go by myself.

...

The water in Halo 3 is really good. I'm playing the Covenant right now, and I think I just spent a half an hour just staring at the water.

Don't you have ... something better to do? Has school started yet? Jeeeeeeeeez.
 
Hopefully the Boston Pax in 2010 will be good because I'll probably be able to go to that one unless I decide to do co-op on the west coast. In due time young one

Jerome's only about 5'7. My height actually.

5' 7''?!?!?! That's tiny...I would lay a beating on Jerome

JK, he would probably fucking kill me. THE MAN HAS WRESTLED A BEAR!!!

Ugh, must have been pretty annoying. I think grenades in general aren't as useful on Blackout as they were in Lockout.
 
Hey, it was really awesome meeting you guys at PAX. Sorry I wasn't around the booth more, but it was a crazy weekend.

Thanks for being so awesome, guys. Nice to finally put a face with a screen name. :)

U know you wanted to shave your head for Band of Brothers Dirtbag :P

Like Blueblur says I did do it.

The procedure in progress, with sign behind advertising the free copy of the game.
By the way, the barber's name was Sten. Sten does some mighty fine work.

My noggin. I was actually the last guy to get a cut on Saturday. You had two options :
1) Fade, Some hair remains
2)Buzz Cut, all hair removed

I went with a fade. I thought they were kidding when they told me 3 hour wait, but man I started at 3pm and ended at 6pm on the dot, as they made the announcement to close the exhibit hall.

I missed on getting so see Jen Taylor, should had Blueblur AKA Total Sacrifice have her sign stuff for me. :(
 
So after catching up on about 3 days worth of posts I'm very dissapointed. The Bungie and Halo 3 stuff was great. Really though?

Not one photo of GAFers puking drunk or dancing with strippers. No stories of GAFers making an ass of themselves? What was the night life like? Were the dev's having parties or anything. Wasn't 1up Yours having a thing at some bar?

Anyways looks like it was fun though. I'll be taking the time off next year. Unless Bungie has their 'fanfest' before then.

Some of the GAFers there were under age. And at least two - maybe more - were over but don't drink.

What a bunch of lame-o's.

The 1up thing at Gameworks was kinda unsettling lol the TJs and dirtbag ended up just going to a Irish pub downtown and drinking there. They had a cover band that was playing prince..........so that was also unsettling

Nope, no excuse. Should've just taken some back to the hotel room and partied like rock stars.

I'm not quite 21 yet (a few months), but I've drunk enough to realize that I'm never going to be a big drinker.

Grav hammer on Guardian. Very cool.

I'm sure Bungie is very sorry about the laggy game you had which made the hammer appear to lunge.

The same thing has happened to me....but honestly, in the grand scheme of things, who gives a fuck?
 
I'm just hacking on you guys. Looks like you had fun! I'm still choked that I never went.

So this HITMANJMRS, does anyone know who he/she is?

I just finished cleaning up the photos from Seattle, and there are over 400 of them. About 350 are PAX, 50 the Space needle.

First and foremost I want to extend my apologies to anyone at PAX that might have been offended by my photographic antics. I am a bit of a shutterbug. I will not post any of your photos publicly guys.

That having been said I have a bunch of photos to show.

100_4168Small.jpg


I don't know how many of you saw this at the show, but we should definitely pass this into law. There was also a larger one for people to sign.

100_3769Small.jpg


This is a photo of Luke right before the 1UP show. We knew he was going to be a surprise guests hours in advance, one of the 1UP guys told me and Blueblur. We were however sworn to secrecy.

100_3761Small.jpg

One of the many developer 360's we were playing Assembly on.

100_3863Small.jpg


Some of the artists for Halo signing prints of their work.

100_4174Small.jpg


Luke playing some people for Recon. He looks very... concentrated?

100_4147Small.jpg


Halo action figures. Prizes for playing Assembly and winning on the last day of PAX.

100_4211Small.jpg


Last but not least, SWAG!!! Free stuff handed out at PAX.
My list of swag is as follows:

4 Archon T-Shirts
2 Champions Online Tshirts
1 Newgrounds T-shirt
3 Halo Action Figures
7 Artist signed prints
1 image of Cortana from one of the artists
1 Gamertag Badge from 1UP
4 Demo discs
1 Surfboard keychain
1 Cap of Resistance: Retribution for PSP (Cool game)
2 Battlefield Heroes Beta keys
1 Graphic Novel based on 'Legendary' the game
1 Vault Dwellers survival guide (From Fallout 3)

Now the Contact Harvest novels were being given away, but I got my personal copy signed by the two artists that did the cover and the author.

The Faceplate is also mine, but I got a bunch of Bungie Employee signatures : )

Overall a very nice time. Now if they just brought it to the East Coat I could go every year. Epic trip overall.

Sorry if this post was a little too long, just got very excited is all. :D

Now that's what I call a pwn face.

You should have heard the trash being talked when he won.

"We (he and Shiska) were playing Halo 3, you two (the challengers) were playing a game you suck at!"

BTW, Luke, who won with the least amount of Recon given away? You and Shiska, or Luke Simmons and Joe Tung?

Fixed your link, at least I think that's the video you meant to link to. GameVideos is a terribly implemented website.
Thanks, fixed it in my post.

Yeah, Gamevideos definitely has... problems, to say the least. I wish it worked as well as gametrailers, because I'd like for it to be convenient to watch the 1UP Show on my computer.
 
Well, the video that you originally linked to, TDG, is possibly the greatest thing ever so it was full of win anyway. ;P

Edit: Holy shit does Assembly look awesome! Can't wait to play on it. :D

Assembly is really fun. The FFA matches were ridiculously hectic but there is enough cover and excellent sight lines that I really didn't care.

If Derelict (or Desolation) mated with Midship it would give birth to Assembly.

From what you guys have seen/played, does Assembly have any potential as a non-slayer based map? As in, would it work for CTF or 1 bomb or anything like that?

Absolutely, yes.
Its bigger then midship. Should make for an awesome 2 flag mag.

This + were there are any non-slayer games at Pax?
