God knows how I had the balls to do it considering the Halo 3 fever in my household, but I told my girlfriend I wouldn't be seeing her parents with her this weekend.

Balls of steel young man!

Rofl, no problem here with that, me and her dad can't be in the same room!:D

Seriously man, I've been waiting too, anxiously. Guess I'll just play more TF2 and procrastinate on work like an idiot.

Anyway, When are the reviews due out for halo 3? monday? or not until after it releases?


Yeah, I haven't done a damn thing at work today. Unless you count scouring every nook and cranny of the internet for more Halo 3.
And I think the review embargo is up on Sunday.

My thoughts exactly, I have to spend the whole weekend focussing on "quality time" with the gf to offset the lack of attention next week. Sounds good until you realise her idea of quality time is cleaning!

I'm lucky in that respect. My GF's roommates are going out of town all next week, so I'm going to go stay at her place. Thankfully (haha) she works full time, so on my days off of work I can play Halo ALL DAY LONG while she's gone. Plus her roomie's have a huge HDTV and awesome sound system. =D

:lol Sounds exactly like me. I'm starting to feel guilty though, that it's almost lunch time and I've done like 10 minutes of work total all day.

Question

Has the final list of achievements been revealed? Because I saw a guy playing on xbox.com and it didnt list any achievements.

also

FOr those thinking YOUR week is dragging by, try working at Crapstop, with over 400 copies of the game sitting within inches of you :(

SPecially the ones that are in the bathroom, everytime I pee, I can see the collectors boxes.

The achievements are out there and have been for a while, just not listed as of yet (that'll be sometime this weekend I'd think when Bungie Online goes up).

I would be far too weak for that, sir. I'm sure I would hijack the game disc from the box and sneak it home.

I'm hoping to actually get my wife playing. She's gone through Crackdown, so hopefully she'll be able to pick up the dual analog setup for Halo 3 (the last FPS she was able to play on a controller was Perfect Dark on N64...she never got the hang of the controller for Halo1/2 or PDZ). We'll see. I've got company over all weekend, so I'll be preoccupied until Sunday night, at least.

I did with bioshock. :D

Tonight I will try and take a picture of the entire collection of them. I'm not the biggest halo fan, but it is a little tormenting.

Well looks like my 360 is really dead, I tried the towel trick and it did not work. :(

I'll try to get another console before tuesday.

is that you in your avatar :lol

oo sorry that isnt nice :(
 
hey guys..i just got back from this tiny import gaming shop near my house that gets alot of niche gaming stuff from over seas but also gets games fairly early..though he dont sell them until release date..he lets you try most of the games he gets early right there in the store...and he had halo 3 going on his box..so i jumped on it (single player) for 10 minutes or so and the gun sound effects when firing seem super super low.. like when master chief fires his gun..the gun fire sound coming from his gun seems super low..i know its always been pretty low sounding in all the halo games but i was sorta upset to hear how low sounding the guns sound in halo 3..not a big issue but i like to feel my gun fire rumble my gaming room here at home lol and it would of been nice to add some heavy bass when firing the gun.

He has a nice little setup in the shop too.. a pioneer plasma with bose speakers and a nice yamaha reciever and a infinity powered sub on the right side of the hdtv sitting in front is a 2 seater lazy boy. So its not because of the sound system
 
I'll be finishing the fight on legendary later today (or atleast starting it).
Last night we jumped in the first level (
Sierra 117
) on Legendary and it didn't seem too hard but then we encountered some
Jackal Snipers.

That level is going to be hard. Good god those snipers are accurate. I came around the corner and got headshotted. Then I respawned and before I even get a chance to move I was shot again.

It should be a very fun and a very unproductive weekend.

Spoiler'd to protect the sensitive mens of this forum. But I'm sure you all listened to the podcasts about what I just talked about.

Are you going to send it to repairs and buy a new one in the meantime, then sell the repaired one to Gamestop?

Or are you going to send it to repairs and buy a new one from Target, then return the new one once you get the repaired one back?

Cider is not carbonated in England ?
No, cider is not carbonated in Michigan.

I think Stinkles is trying to derail yet another thread with talks of a mythical "carbonated cider" --- either that, or Washington state is a topsy-turvy bizarro world that I could never hope to visit.

Bestbuy wouldn't let me choose the LE for pick-up in store. Think they'll have enough copies for me to do an exchange?


My Best Buy did. While I'm not getting a copy from Best Buy @ Midnight since my Best Buy isn't doing a midnight opening I will be picking up my LE (Legendary) when the store opens Tuesday. :D

There's a reason why the Soviet's own it in World in Conflict.

I have World in Conflict to tie me over the weekend, my fiancee is going through Halo 2 before release. she loves games but only got into fps (style) games with gears. Its going to be funny when the Halo 3 box gets here. :lol
 
Somewhere, in a different dimension (possibly evil), a goatee bearded me is playing a stolen copy of Halo 3. Fuck evil me, I wanna play too! :(

That's a neat avatar. Did you make that yourself? It reminds me of Marathon.
