Then you should be able to understand why someone like Arnie doesn't like your gal Dexter's Laboratory.
... Okay? Never said I didn't.

what the fuck kind of list of music is that?!?
There's nothing wrong with it.

You don't get out much do you?
Why do you ask? Because I don't listen to any of the "mainstream" music? lulz

You can't be that anal about spelling. Seriously.
I was joking around. Seriously.

No, because everything you listed is either a. video game music b. science fiction television show music, or c. music from movies.

There is a lot more out there.

You are one of those people that believe all mainstream music is bad? Not in all cases young one.

I can't hate on that list too much. Halo music is good, although not exactly in heavy rotation on my iPod. Mass Effect soundtrack was pretty awesome.

You need to branch out a bit, Dax.

:lol :lol

So true. Half of that shit doesn't even have words, I'm guessing.

Which brings this thread to a new topic: Do you listen to music while playing Halo? Personally, I'll put Pandora on in the background and just zone out. I usually listen to 90s-ish rock (STP, RHCP, etc) but I sometimes go back to classic rock as well as a bit of hip hop (Atmosphere, Lupe, etc).

I'm very nit-picky when it comes to music. I don't listen to the radio, and never feel like seeking out more music to listen to. I just look at/listen to whatever comes across me. And I just made that list to show that I don't listen to "just pop."

Hip hop, rock, and 80s!
I'm hungry like the wolf when I play Halo!

Dax's entire music base is comprised of videogame music and pop songs.

Don't listen to music much when I play because I'm normally focused on whatever we're talking about in chat or the game-sounds.

That said, if I am listening to music while matchmaking, it's normally whatever tunes are coming out of Trasher's mouth. Hungry like a Wolf and such.
 
Hey guyz what's......

I didn't even finish reading your post and I was ready to reply with a "Eazy listens to all the songs I'm singing mid-game etc.".

lol @ Ghaleon's post.
 
You gotta listen to more music than just soundtracks. Listen to music inspired by real people and real events and real things and not just things based on Sci-Fi Games/Movies. Sure, I loved the Mass Effect soundtrack, I've even checked some songs out on Youtube, but when I make a list of music that I love, soundtracks are not on it...and I love a good soundtrack, Original or otherwise

edit: Music while playing Halo? Only when I'm messing around. Like yesterday while messing around on Butane's map, I was listening to the latest U2 album...so good...I know Ghaleon is a fan *motions for high five* lol. Once I get serious though and try to win matches, no music.

Nah. I don't "gotta." Besides, I'd rather use the time to write.

Occasionally? Nothing.

All the time? Yeah, it's somewhat strange. I mean I can definitely appreciate the occasional Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, even a little video game music can be soothing. I don't know how you live without music with words.

On a slightly different note, Fiesta on big maps like Sandbox default is terrible. Hell, fiesta by itself is terrible. You'd might as well call it Snockets.

the problem i have with that list is not that it is bad
most of it is actually quite good
it is that i would never listen to it alone. it all fits well with the game/movie/tv show but its not music i would personally but on.

exception: good for study/writing papers/falling asleep to

i either put my itunes on shuffle or put on my "ballin" playlist which as all my fav hip hop songs on it.
i just put my itunes on shuffle and skipped my next 10 songs to see what came up

don't stop what you're doing - puff daddy and the family
simple pages - weezer
the prayer - kid cudi (funny that he shows up)
octopus's garden - beatles (didn't even know i had that)
falling out of love - aqualung
get it together - jurassic 5
you're all i have - snow patrol
for reason's unkown - killers
guilty conscience - eminem
diamonds kanye west remix - ratatat
chores - animal collective

hows that for a mix :P
 
Argh. Are we seriously telling people that their music selection choice makes them weird or that the selection is 'wrong' now?

And on the actual related note, I don't listen to stuff unless I'm playing solo. Much more relaxing talking with people in the room.

....Albeit Daft Punk recently.

we related it to halo
unlike most times we go off topic

you take that back dammit
i love fiesta
 
Fiesta is mad fun! Thats my betrayel playlists I just kill everyone in those objective gametypes LOVE IT.

Seriously though its broke as fuck and real playlists need to be put into the dbl exp's like Instagib.
 
For some reason, I liked Fiesta in H2 better than in H3. It might be because I used to love playing it on Ascension.

Don't know why Shish decided on a Fiesta FFA for DBLEXP. Team Fiesta is what made it popular in H2; just follow suit, please.
 
Tashi0106 said:
I was listening to the latest U2 album...so good...I know Ghaleon is a fan

Before reading this post I was fairly certain that only middle school girls listened to U2...


For all it's worth, I'm at all suprised that Dax only listens to pop and video game music. I like Halo's OST, but I don't listen to is regularly.

As far as music that I like? Mainly Rock (80's to modern), metal, and country. I can't stand pop or rap music. That junk makes my ears bleed.

I don't listen to music while playing Halo because I'm usually talking to people in the party and it's just really annoting for everyone.

Edit: And team fiesta on Ascension in H2 was awesome. There were some seriously fun times on that map/gametype. People would get into the banshee and instantly explode from all the rockets.
 
For some reason I keep thinking I'm in a music thread....

I've updated Chimera to a more Tashi-proof map. I also reduced the Brute Shot ammo down one clip.

I really, really don't think I'll have to worry about people doing that to the Warthogs in the middle of the game now. Especially since the lip on the top blocks of the wall in the way.

U2's fan base is pretty wide. They've hauled old farts like myself along for the past 20 years, and picked up new ones with each album. FWIW, the latest is in their top 3 evah. "Breathe" 4 lyfe, yo.

Listening to it now, actually. U2 on a bad day are still better than 90% of the crap you kids listen to these days.

Should I buy a cane and newsboy cap off the internet?

No you should put down the Creedence albums and stop being afraid of black people. It will make your world much more exciting.

Lies.
Do I type like a 30 year old? Tell me ze truth!

Of the music I've heard, I prefer older stuff. Something about Johnny Cash and Pink Floyd seems just right.
 
all the

small things

nananananananana

nananananananan

say it ain't so
i will not go

what's my age again? what's my age again?

fuck singing on a CAR-O-SELL!
 
I have all the map packs on my primary account.

on my secondary account though, it says i have all except the legendary? do i have to rebuy the map packs?

it's strange because I didn't purchase the mythic map pack under my second account yet i can play in the playlists that need it, but i can't play in something like rumble pit because it says i don't have the required maps..

halp
 
Say what you want about Bono, The Joshua Tree is a damn good album.

If someone's telling you to write fan fiction, they're not being serious.
 
Alright, let me sum up a typical game of Fiesta Ball for you all:

Spawn, probably with a Spiker and Plasma Pistol. You start running towards the ba--OH SHUCKS you were just rocketed.

Spawn again, probably with a Carbine and SMG. Start heading towards that ball (gotta rack up some points to win!). Shoot a guy from behind with the Carbine a bit and head towards the ba--OH NO rocketed again!

Spawn on the other side of the map, this time with a Brute Shot and a Pistol. Sneak around in a backhand way towards the ball. It's so close you can taste it! Wow! The two guys going for the ball just killed each other! Now's your opportunity! Head for the ball! "Press B to pick up the Oddball." "YES," you think, "Now it's time to get some poi--OH DARNIT killed by rockets again.

Seriously, everything but Fiesta Slayer is so fucking broken and frustrating. Ugh.

Not at all. Only on Snowbound and Construct.

Edit based on your edit: Fiesta is social, not ranked. Therefore, you can't get the achievement.

Ah dammit, forgot about that. I really don't like Lone Wolves so that achievement will never happen I suppose.
