;) Thanks for the tip. Now if only I could make my XBL icon it as well... :shifty:

I know. I wish we could have custom images for our Gamertag icons... But it would probably be abused with offensive images, and I'm guessing that's why they don't allow it. :/

Closest you'll get to that is using the Vision camera. Only friends will see it and it's a little pixalated/discoloured, it can turn out ok sometimes though :)

I posted this in the Halo 3 Beta Gameplay thread last night, but I wasn't sure if you all read that thread as well, so here's a nice bit of info:

Hey, that's a pretty good idea, thanks for that. I'll stick to mine though as it seems to identify me and it'd be weird to change :p

Regarding the threads, I vote for a Merge since the discussion seems to be mostly here and some separation with posts in the other thread.

Halo 2

# Total Kills: 53984

# Total Deaths: 37588

# Kill/Death Ratio: 1.4362

# Total Assists: 14390

Halo 3

# Total Kills: 878

# Total Deaths: 667

# Kill/Death Ratio: 1.3163

# Total Assists: 309

Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as good in Halo 3 as I am in Halo 2, but hopefully that will change when the final is released and I have a few more weeks under my belt. I'm getting there... ;)

It was probably only because all the other players were nubs, but it's okay, it made me feel better :p

Got home from work today and wanted to fire up some Halo 3, and what do I get?

Red rings of death :cry:

By the time I get my X Box fixed, the beta'll be expired. This sucks. Worst possible time for a console to go out.

RIP 360

Damn, that really sucks man, sorry to hear that. But, hey, at least it's still under warranty I'm guessing? Plus, Halo 3 will be out in September so your wait isn't too too long. :)

It's $140 for repairs. Warranty ended a long time ago.

Gah. Anyone else who's ever turned on a 360 to find it totally useless knows how I feel. Anyone who's ever seen a $400+ piece of hardware flush itself down the drain does.

Not too great of a game. You have a +5 kill death ratio. Good game for you though!

Come on now, don't be so hard on him. He's getting better and better :) Keep it up pixels (Y)

EDIT: Wow, I just realized something, it doesn't look like they're keeping track of Hit % (or am I just missing it?) That really sucks. I think that's probably one of the most important stats to gauge your progress by and I can't believe they took it out. :(

Luckily..I've had a warranty of my 360 through all it's failures. I've been on 3 different 360's in the past week and one day..don't fill bad..they wanted me to send it in and I was like umm how about not.

I'm thinking the reason is more that they sell picture packs. Who would buy them if they could get their own pics?

So instead of pointing that out, why not encourage his progression? We're all here to have fun, not everything is a competition. :)

For real. If the time comes we need to band out into groups to the people who take this all way to seriously and only care about their stats and the people who play just for fun and keep track of their stats, then I for one have no issues at all with that if it means everyone enjoying themselves.

For the record we all want to compete, we all just do not care about being the best players on the planet.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
