No Jersey friends that could help a Karg out? Tried the usual spots and my friend just recently quit as a GS manager and that wasn't even probable.

I believe there's this thing that Microsoft was hoping people in your case would do when Halo 3 came out.

Can't remember what exactly that thing was. Buy the game anyway and stare at it? No...

Had something to do with the 360 itself. Steal one? No, that doesn't make sense. I'm at a loss. I have no idea what might aid you in your quest.
 
Back to more important issues. Here in the US:

- Cider is neither carbonated nor alcoholic
- Sparkling cider is carbonated, but not alcoholic
- Hard cider is alcoholic, but not usually carbonated

I have no idea how "apple juice" enters the mix. It probably has to do with filtering and/or blending.

Oh! I have a "Halo Confession" that some may find impressive:

While I have beaten the campaigns of Halo 1 and 2, I have never played even a single multi-player match. Furthermore, I did not even download the Halo 3 beta, even though I own Crackdown.

Do I win? (I may give MP a try in H3. Maybe. Probably not.)

Fuck you all for getting me to buy from Newegg even though I already have on preordered at EB for midnight pick up. Should I try and get more money out of them?

Soooo, you are pissed because they are giving you a full refund if you refuse the game? Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Must be "don't buy the game and wait for the superior mobile version instead"
 
Fuck. Fuck Fuck fuckkcckckckckck

Copies didn't come in at my regular place so I'm not gonna be able to get it this weekend :(

I have a legendary preordered at Best Buy from months ago, so does anyone know how that works (cause they didn't take my info down or anything when I bought it so how do they hold it)?

I really don't feel like waiting in line all morning.
 
I have the game, and 5 other people who can play, add hamm3rofgod as a friend and we can get some games going since matchmaking is down.

Besides the mention that if you refuse it, you get the refund I'm not surprised you were swayed into ordering from newegg with that creative screen name you have. :D

If you pre-ordered from best buy in the store you have a receipt they gave you. That shows your proof of your pre-order.

Halo 3 has Xen level confirmed!
 
Gamasutra just posted a very small story about how some of the cutscene animation (20 minutes worth) was outsourced to a company in Montreal called Damnfx.

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=15583

Prior to their work on Halo 3, Damnfx worked on two stereoscopic IMAX films; Damnfx executive producer Peter Skovsbo says it was "refreshing" to focus solely on animation while deferring to Bungie for lighting, rendering and compositioning the shots.

Damnfx explains Bungie provided assets for each shot, including rigged and textured models, layouts and reviews throughout the process; the company says the cinematics project took 25 animators using Autodesk Maya six months to complete.

You're pissed because you have to choose between a refund or a free $10? Boo fucking hoo.

Nothing like the time I made an order from Buy.com, who processed my shipping address incorrectly and refused to make any change or cancel the order at all, even though it was days from shipping.

No, you lose. You lose big time.

Multiplayer is where it's add dude. I spent maybe 20 hours on campaign for each of the previous Halos, and somewhere around 300 hours in multiplayer.
 
Well, I was gonna overnight a copy to my friend, but the shipping is way too much for tomorrow delivery...

I may have an extra copy in NYC, shoot me a PM if you're interested, I'll see what happens.

Fun fact: I am going from Westfield, NJ, to NY for the event.

Not so fun fact, my reserve was at a Gamestop in Westfield but they're not doing a midnight opening. For my sadness and since I'll be in the area I should obviously tag along with you to the event.
