:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Even I have to admit that was truly Hilarious!

I honestly thought going back to the lobby would reset everything since it was asking me was I sure. That truly was hilarious.

Lesson learned if I am ever hosting again.

This is what happens when I do not play with you guys because you are all so damn good, I at least do a little decent.

Haha, you haven't even seen me play yet. I'll keep my skill, I was trying to teach DirtyLarry some things and give him some tips.

Indeed. And very much appreciated. Definitely implemented some of them today. In time I will eventually get it. With that said...

Total Kills: 1701

Total Deaths: 933

Kill/Death Ratio: 1.8232

Total Assists: 483

Not so bad for someone who has played 888 games of Halo 2. However...

I pwn more :p

Total Kills: 1650

Total Deaths: 802

Kill/Death Ratio: 2.0574

Total Assists: 581

Considering Trong has played 16,979 games of Halo 2, it makes complete sense why his stats are so damn impressive. :blink: :o ;)

Me? Just as you might have guessed... Zero games of Halo 2 played...

And here I was wondering why I was truly so bad compared to everyone else. Honestly, it would be a travesty if you guys were not owning me :laugh:

I'm in the same boat as you, so don't worry :)

I'm in the same boat as you, so don't worry :)

Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but where not exactly in the same boat. I am definitely worse. :laugh: I have played 3 more games and have way less kills than you (88) but we almost have as many deaths. My ratio is under .5, and you have at two medals while I have none. I just have a few more assists. So give yourself some credit. (Y)

I'm sad, I can't find the game I got my "overkill" in..it use the be killtacular. Can anyone help me?

Halo 3 Games Play

Tried looking really quick, and I could not find anything.

Lol, that game took 2 years of my life away.

I just did the math strictly out of my own curiosity, and that averages 23.25 Gamer per day, every day, for two years! That is dedication!!!

Just curious with that type of love for the game, did you ever try and play competitively or anything like that?

Hey, if anybody wants to get their emblem as their avatar, here's the best way to do it:

Go to your bungie.net profile, right-click on the emblem and either save it, or if you want a higher quality version (I had to figure this out as I hate JPEG low-quality artifacts :p), right-click on it and go to View Image (only in Firefox, I just checked in IE and there doesn't really seem to be a way to do it), and then change the url where it says "s=90" to "s=250", save the larger image and reduce it to 80x80 for your avatar.

Yeah, I just spent like 15 minutes trying to figure out how to up the quality when I finally realized there was the s argument to change the size :laugh:

Well thanks :blush:

I just played a VIP game with my bro. I got an Overkill (10 in a row) while being the VIP :D It was great.

For reference:

Halo 2: 868 Games (unfortunately low considering I've had the game since the day it came out)

Total Kills: 9162

Total Deaths: 9996

Kill/Death Ratio: 0.9166

Total Assists: 3051

Halo 3: 16 Games

Total Kills: 252

Total Deaths: 231

Kill/Death Ratio: 1.0909

Total Assists: 104

Not too bad, really.

Nice trick. Thanks. Already used it. (Y)

For anyone who might have not pre ordered the game yet like me, I had to buy my dad a Birthday present, and I just stumbled across this deal on Best Buy's site. If you preorder Halo 3, any edition, you get 1600 MS Points for $4.99, which I will be picking up tomorrow with my dads gift.

Whoa, nice. I'll definitely take advantage of that when I get a bit more money in my pocket.

    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
