No, never heard of it. Sounds cool, I may have to check it out.

I think I'll re-read it when the next book comes out. I know I read it, but reading the synopsis didn't really ring many bells.

It's a fun book, quick read.

Yeah, I went and read the Rant synopsis on Wikipedia, lol. I had no idea it was the first of a planned trilogy.

I think I liked Rant, but I read it back-to-back with Crooked Little Vein, so I've probably combined them in my brain.

you need to watch The King of Kong. it is easily one of the best docs ive ever seen.

Rothfuss for sure. The second book of the series comes out in a couple of weeks, so if you like it the next one will be ready for you.

Map is set up for objective games now.
CTF, Headhunter, oddball, king of the hill, stockpile and of course slayer.
Should I submit it for the guild or just try and get my own testing do you think?

The point you bring up about customs is exactly part of the reason I find forge so frustrating. I play these really great maps, much better than what came with the game, and I think about how much better they could be with simple implementation of stuff like basic color change in objects, stuff to make the map more than an indistinguishable gray blob.

Kind of on a tangent here, part of the reason I think the maps in reach suffer is that they try to be landscapes instead of geometric arenas. Landscapes with random cover fits Call of Duty, but in halo it's nice to have maps based around simple shapes and layouts. Like for example, the big team maps in Reach all seem like a cluttered mess to me, the clean, simple layout of something like Avalanche seems to fit the gameplay of halo much better.

The ship basically has five areas to hit, and once you hit them you win, I forget how I worked it out though, it's definitely not invasion.

Reach has been a really mixed bag for me. I can appreciate all that they've done with it, with the armor abilities and everything, but I definitely don't enjoy it as much as 3. I think though that Halo 3 just came out at a good time for me. All of my friends and I played it at the same time, and that left me with a really good impression of the game.

It's a interesting phenomenon when you want to rationalize a game as being worse than its predecessor, but you realize nostalgia is really all that's influencing your opinion. Although honestly, I do think that the maps that came with reach are much worse than the Halo 3 maps.

Sweet, I'm downloading that right now. My crew is very casual and we all love the infection maps.

I've forged, yeah. I made some big team maps that lagged up a storm. And one map that is very my style, a big ship that you have to literally attack and destroy. It's almost finished but I just lost motivation. It's weird, for all the advancements bungie made in forge it just kind of reminds of what they haven't done. Forge as it is now sort of lacks the rudimentary charm of Foundry and Avalanche, and also lacks the sophistication of a fully fleshed out map maker.

I don't know if that makes sense but I think that's why I feel no drive to forge.

I feel that my posting style has turned from irreverent to caustically sarcastic and so I don't really post much because I don't want to be just hating at the 14 year olds, you know? I don't want to be that guy.

You were always one of the good ones Sarge, I'm glad to see you're still hanging around and modding things up. Have you made a map in reach? I'm going to download it if you have.

Tell no one of our little secret.

oh. I don't know. It was just there. lol

looking at what thread

wtf, where are you anyway?

I'm fine now.

oh dude, dont worry about that it can be any letter of rec, it could be from your boss or a teacher or something that shouldnt be too hard to acquire

wut u talkin bout willis

Ah, okay. Well I don't mind it being skipped this once, but I do want accountability set out for each article.

Recap is Tuesday now, not Saturday, so there isn't a scheduling conflict... is that what you were referring to?

****ing exactly.

I'll try pacing the bloom but I almost always get spammed, the only counter cases being when someone else is trying to do the same to me (in which case it's a matter of who shot first) or if I get the drop on them from afar. I can't stand shooting someone as intended only to have them turn around and spam the trigger to win.

Sprint isn't nearly an issue anymore but it still can be annoying to have someone run away (Which I'll admit is my primary strategy XD). I love the needle rifle, but I rarely favor it over a dmr despite it being a better weapon overall (imo). Sheepish I suppose.
