|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

I'm on PST, but I'll stay up late if I have to to play with you guys. I can't tell you how much more fun it is to play with people you know versus a bunch of strangers. Not to mention we seem to kick everybody's ass when we are on the same team :)

Fixed my name for you. :p

Haha, but yea, I was pretty annoyed because we had a really good group going and that last game on Valhalla was a lot of fun, so I definitely didn't want to leave. But, alas, I had to get it done before it got dark and since the pick-up was the next morning. Ah well...

BTW, I think we should set up some consistent time that the majority of Neowin players are available and can go online. That way we can have some Neowin matches every night, if possible. What do you guys think and what times are good for everyone? I'm usually able to go on anytime after 6pm EST.

im usually on by 730 or so

My God i just realised how annoying the kids/morons are on xbox live i mean id encountered these beasts before on Call of Duty 2 but here theyre just pure morons i had a kid say he was gonna jack off in my face :s one kid who could no controll the volume of his voice :blink: and another who thought the game was a kareoke session :angry: so i beg thee fellow neowinians let os unite and have some games together because the rest of the halo comunity bar some really SUCK....

im on from 7pm GMT ill be on around the time Munky is...

Green_Eye I know I should not laugh at that, but when the kid joined the game, trash talk from the begining and then he comes out saying he wants to jack off in your face, it was amusing, but that game was full of kids screaming, shouting abuse. But that aside most of the games, have been quite good, most people wanting to Co-ordinate attacks, and those couple of Territories games went well for us.

I will be around again tonight, and I suggest if there is not 6 of us Neowians, then we should play the smaller team games, so its only us on our team.

See ya later.

Unfortunately not sure I am going to get to play at all the next few days. Besides work, I took on two freelance jobs and both clients want their designs before the Holiday weekend coming up, so I am basically working the next few days and nights nearly 24/7. I hate money, but need it.

:o Shouldn't that be "I hate work, but I need the money" :p

Lol Greeneye, I know you were getting really p***ed at that kid last night, but I couldn't but laugh a little just because it was such a strange thing for him to say. Thank god I don't hear these morons during the matches :laugh:

I'm on usually after 7 or 8 GMT, I'll stay on late to play with you guys over the pond if there you're online before 3am GMT

This is when the Reputation ratings come in handy. I just had a jackass singing the last round I paid. I told him to be quiet and he replies "Why? Because my score is better than yours?" to which I foolishly replied "No, because you sound like a 9 year old who's testicles haven't dropped yet".

The point of my rambling is, I submitted feedback on him and said he was abusing communications. Conversely, if i come across anyone who does nothing but make my experience more enjoyable, I make sure to jump on and give them positive feedback.

It takes about five seconds to mute somebody. And believe me, that's a whole lot more effective than asking them to stop.

Heh. I was playing BTB the other day. One of the guy who ended up on my team was blasting some undiscernible music. Annoying as hell. I took the 3 seconds it takes to mute him. Unfortunately I had another idiot on my team who, despite me telling him about the mute function, proceded to keep telling the guy to stop it and calling him a f****t the whole game. Surprisingly, I think my team won that game.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
