: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.

    • Why say “Retarded” then? Lol 
    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
