oh man rofl.

I lol'd... seriously.

I went as far as explaining the whole back story (with BB kid) to my girl friend so she would understand how amazing this .gif is.

thank you

edit: can you tell me what the gif is from? I am inspired to watch the movie/tv show that it's from.
 
Hey, so I've been going back over the thread to see what I've missed in my on/off lurk nature and noticed the whole connection thing; I thought I might join in. :D

Just... wow. Probably should have closed all those tabs and utorrent...

I hate having such a bad connection.
I have a 50Mbps connection in my flat, I move there soon.

I joined because for as much as this forums says they are different than Bungie.net I was hoping it was true. I was hoping that people on a forum wouldn't resort to the same bad behavior that I see every day on B.net. However, from how this thread went for the past 2pages, it didn't seem like it is any different.

Prove me wrong. Please.

berserkerbarage if you want to see the good side of GAF then a couple of things
1.dont post so much. yeah you just got accepted its exciting and all that but tone it down some and stop getting so damn butt hurt it will just encourage people. (devin takes notes on not posting so much. your not annoying yet but if you keep on posting so much you'll reach there in time.)

2. get rid of your signature. by now its probably a pride thing about not letting internet people get to you and sicking to your guns but let go of that shit. for bonus points you can go back and edit all you "b.b.s" out of your posts. which brings up

3. learn to use the edit button. on this page you committed a major forum no no called a double post. just go back to your post, put "EDIT:" then add. its quite simple actually.

4. last, play some games with some known gaffers. i would suggest blueblur he's one of the nicer gaffers and is willing to play with anyone. also sometimesimepic (thats his gt) is another nice guy too, he's banned right now but is probably reading this so just send him a fr.


actually all juniors read this and you will be better off

my tag is ICS Pet if anybody wants to play

i like playing social team dlc and squad battle mostly

i used to be into mlg alot and post alot on their forums, but not anymore.. i play playlist off and on but cant stomach too much of it
 
lol HaloGAF takes no prisoners.

anybody down for some Team Slayer? Maybe not tonight, but tomorrow possibly. Backflip likes to ignore me when I send him game invites.

Got back up to my 46 today in TS, and am feelin' good about my chances on a 47 soon, but up this high in level I'd rather do it with a team rather than going at it alone.

This. I really don't see why you even have it. You mentioned something about being amused whenever people resorted to ad hominem attacks against it, so I'm getting the impression that you purposefully use it to provoke a reaction. That or it's some lame schtick to make yourself more memorable and recognizable in the community.
 
Is it just me?
or can someone else hear the swing of a hammer?

Can't we all just get along?
and if not; kick the bad folk in the face and then get along with the survivors?
 
Yeah I'm on a lot and usually playing alone, so hit me up if you ever want to play. I've been really into SWAT as of late. Gamertag is Alivor. If I don't join, it's because I'm playing with someone else.

Bannings are very infrequent in this thread. We mostly get a pass from the mods. I wouldn`t recommend testing that of course.

Someone was saying earlier how Squad Battle population has jumped, anyone know by how much? I am unable to check myself right now.

And I hope you feel better now BB. Telling us off after all that time lurking must be nice. And hey, it`s a big forum, lot`s of threads out there to enlighten.

like pedro said there are only two that i can remember in all of this threads history that have been banned for things said in this thread. mods almost never come in here.

actually another tip for juniors try going into real gaf and learning the rules there then come in here. normal gaf is much nicer than halogaf

Man, then Anton P. Nym must bug the shit out of you. Oh wait, in the 4 years I have been following HBO I've never seen you say anything to him about it. Not that we are just being selective in when it bothers you. Maybe I should just switch to signing with my first name. Would that make it okay with you then?

What's funny is that for all the crap that this forum/thread talks about the immature people on B.net; the vast majority of you resorted to the same asinine bullshit that they did/do. How pathetic. It's not like I haven' seen this crap for the past 5 years. Soooo creative. Not that I'd expect much after having to read your posts for the past six months. If it wasn't for Voc and Cocop I could have just skimmed the H3 forum and got the exact same terrible logic arguments but without the cretinous elitist attitudes that I got from reading this thread.

Oh and flaming Dax, because that's original and not tired after 2 years. Not like any of you presented a convincing argument. At least he's stuck to his guns after the almost 2 years of ill-informed logic-abortions you guys have been giving him.

So as soon as you guys want to get past the juvenile bullshit and actually show you aren't exactly like the 12 year old kids in the Halo 3 forums on B.net that you soooo love to mock...let me know.

Until then, keep giving me things to laugh about.

Use that kind of stupid attitude in a thread that isn't Halo, and you'll be banned in a second. Not to mention you're a junior member so you're under zero tolerance with the mods.

Go to the AJ forums if you want to talk with Voc and Cocop and the kinds of discussions you're looking for. No one wants or needs you here, at all.

Yeah, I've been lurking and lurking, learning everything I can. I think I have the FAQ's burned into the back of my eyes now. Rest assured I will be cordial and compliant unless I have just cause to act otherwise.

Just to throw out... AJ Forums have closed registrations...
 
I cleared some room on the GAF Halo 3 friend list. Reading the last 2 pages I probably should've left it full.

I'm not on here too much anymore, or play Halo that much either. I check the list every once and a while so if you want on send it a message.

I should be more lively when ODST drops... Play nice!

Ditto,
never heard of him either
Click to expand...

ya, i forgot who he was until i asked shock one of the mods who he was. apparently he really didn't do anything other than make a couple montages when halo2 first came out, which was like what 4-5 years ago? and i honestly don't remember him on the AGP forums or getting any points? and i know for a fact he did nothing in halo3 lol

other than that the only thing i did remember about him is being made fun of for posting a pic of his abs on the mlg forums but i never really daddled in the off-topic forum so i'll let him explain that one. so yeah, i don't understand the nerd love but i gotta give him props for the pistol avatar. coincidentally when i first joined up here i had the pistol as my avatar.
 
lol it didn't take long for one of the juniors to become a complete dick. Maybe one day his nerd-dream will come true and he will find a forum full of rainbows and ponies!

Add me to the growing list of HaloGAF juniors (looks like my account was validated just in time for the thread to return to normal, after a very unusual day of pleasantries).

Like most new guys, I've been lurking from the start.
Which in my case means that the thread has been with me through most of my Halo fan life - I played Haloes for the first time less than a year before the release of Halo 3.

But I wasn't truly a fan until I reluctantly tried Halo 2 after a fun, but frustrating first encounter with the series (repetitive level design blew my mind in a bad way).
Halo 2 had me at the intro (which remains one of my all time favorite intros, cinematics), shocked me with the amount and quality of story I didn't expect after the first game... and wouldn't see again in the series (hopefully ODST will change that).

Currently I'm catching up on the books, leaving Ghost of Onyx for later after being stuck on the first few dozen pages of First Strike for months (the quality of writing got better as the book went on, but WOW, it started out badly). I'm very early into Contact Harvest, but it's absolutely fantastic so far. Staten is a much better writer.

I don't play much multiplayer, but I got the new maps recently hoping to change that.
Firefight will own me... as long as I can find people to play with. If matchmaking can often work in Left 4 Dead, it could work here, damn it!

Friendly warning from someone who used to consider Baltarstar Galactica to be the best thing that happened to filmed sci-fi: stop watching after the first half of season 3, maybe up to the Razor movie. Do not touch season 4 if you want to retain some good memories of the show's glory days. It goes downhill like you wouldn't imagine.


Dax01 said:
"BSG".. is the "S" really necessary? :p
Click to expand...
After the series finale, you might be better off dropping the G. It's more descriptive that way.

By the way, Dax, I have something I wanted to ask you as I stared at your nickname for all these months:
Jadzia or Ezri? ...unless you're into Curzon.
 
So halo guys, how about that game? pretty cool ay?

In an attempt to become more, frequent, with this game, instead of jumping at Bungie events since the middle of last year when interest faded, I've hooked together with a halo mate for a regular weekly session. The first session was bogged down with unbearable lag. Boo. Hopefully the next session will go smoother. Plus I despise high ranks playing in Social. I don't play Social to be dominated... rather I play it to dominate others. Oh well, give some, get some.

Steve gets away with it because every single one is 1) different, and 2) relevant to his post.

It really has nothing to do with what most would constitute "trolling" (ie posting something to get a reaction). Like I said, I've been doing it since I've been on B.net and HBO. Now, it's more second nature than actually thinking about typing it. As for the second part, as you can tell from the past 4 pages, I don't really need a "schtick" to make myself more memorable :lol

Although, I gotta admit that .GIF is pretty fuckin' awesome. Dude kinda reminds me of Luke, sans eye-patch obviously. If he had more of a beard, I'd swear it was pretty close to similar.

As to what Claude said, you're probably right. Steve does get away with it, but mainly after people have gotten to know him. I'd imagine that if he were to join a new forum (outside of where people knew him) he probably gets a few interesting looks when he ends each post talking in the 3rd person.

As to what Vhfive said, I'll take it into consideration as I'm sure it's good advice.

*edit* Wow, that's pretty shitty Devin. Sucks man. Anything taken other than the GPS?

Not trying to brag, just saying 'a couple montages' is definitely not all that I have done.

I don't know how to explain myself without looking arrogant to be honest... so I'll just leave it be.

If you like me, awesome... If you don't, I hope that we can soon become friends :)

That's terrible, Devin. :(

I hope your insurance covers that crap. The same thing has been happening in a neighborhood in my area (I'm in Miami). Some punks broke my cousin's window, took everything in the car, and tried to take the radio but couldn't and just ended up fuckin' it up.

Jadzia. Of course, someone made this for me earlier on. It brings the best of both worlds.
 
How does Sync handle FLAC and other lossless media? I have a 53 gig rip of Loveless that I like to carry with me at all times. Would be great if I could play it on my drive to PAX.

Yeah, that's how I found the source of the vid. I recognized it was the actor who's playing Tyrion, and then did a search "Peter Dinklage eye patch" and found the movie ;-)
