♠ Spades N AZ ♠

Brother in arms!

Foreign Nations CGN lobby FTW! For all of our neighbors and friends who just seem to keep missing CGN. Let's see how solid your attendance can be for this off hours lobby. It will be posted as soon as Baconshelf and D-38 and any other person from across the pond sends me some PMs with their desired times.

LOVE THE MUSIC CHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too many of these videos use electronic sissy emo pop crap. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! d-38 BOSS and Baconshelf. Set up a poll for the people to vote and PM me with your options before you actually post the thread. I feel bad that you guys have missed so many so this next lobby is going to be set up for you especially. LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Insignia you are LEGENDARY! Your hard work and time served to this forum does not go unnoticed. Beyond this forum is real life and that will always take precedence. Thats why I had to step away from running CGN nights and had tons of the community asking me why I had left them. When it comes down to the nitty gritty. You can look through the members profiles and see dozens of your sigs(which is just one piece of your time). Every one of those added up equals 100's of hours a hard work and dedication which you gave freely. I do realize that you were busy because you always had request. The James Bond one you did when I requested mine must of taken some serious time and it was the first sig that really made me want a personal one myself. I come from a background of hard-hitting sports and tend to speak my mind freely which can be offensive at times. If I offended you then I sincerely apologize. You are respected and valued and many would agree with me when I say will live on as the art guru of this forum for a long time.

Unfortunately, I have to go with the majority. I'm really sorry Bacon but I hope you understand. I realize that my foreign friends have to make sacrifices because of varied time-zones, but several people from around the world were able to make it. They just adjusted their sleep in preparation for the event. It wasn't a solid turnout from the 343I members anyway. I tried to make a special event for the members of this forum, at their request, but only about 8-10 showed up during the 4 hour session. It ended up being mostly people from various friends list which is fine. Hopefully they will want to come and be a part of this great forum. It was nice to finally meet those who did come however. Some of their names I recognized and some were new. It was great to be able to put a voice to a name with many of the guest that attended. A special thanks for showing support goes to Choot Em, The Bronstonator(Brony), Solidsnakee, Donut, Spartan Omega, The computer, Beckoningzebra, and Dusty Rose. Hopefully I didn't leave out names. Just PM me and I'll add you. I just don't know who was actual members versus invited friends.

Not the way I usually host but had a good time. I hope that the few that came enjoyed themselves. We will have to do it again sometime. Choot em made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you need a hug Sir? LMAO

The votes are in and it looks like we will be playing tonight starting at 6:00pm MST until whenever we stop. You can RSVP HERE if you would like to show some support and give me ratings. Or you can just join in from one of the 343I community accounts that most of you have. See you tonight! http://halocustoms.com/threads/jul-19-2013-exclusive-to-343i-org-members-mom-lobby-spades-n-az.11360/

Brony I remember when I asked for a signature several times and the art department completely ignored me or just said it couldn't be done and didn't try. Then you stepped up and took the elements I wanted and put your own creative touch to make me a masterpiece. I will always be thankful for not only trying but making it a great one. Gryffinguy you seem to have your hand in everything these days and I'm very happy for you. I remember when you had your first map featured and how happy you were. You have come a long ways man and you deserve all of it. ALL HAIL THE NEW ART STAFF!!!

So a few of you have no idea who Spades is and even more of you have never played with me. I started a custom game night several years ago which was a weekly event every Friday night with only 3-4 Fridays missed after all those years. It became a very popular event which people seemed to look forward to. Unfortunately, I was not very happy with Halo 4 so I have stepped away from doing them anymore. There has been an overwhelming request from the community to start this CGN tradition up again but I don't want it limited to just one Halo game. Therefor, the poll gives you the option to vote for Halo 3, REACH, or Halo 4 for CGN night. On either July 19 or July 21(depending on votes) I will hold a CGN lobby which will be exclusive for 343I.org members only. Cast your vote and mark your calendar for a good time.

So CGN was a little different since Halo 3 was not part of my past Halo experience. A lot of people seemed to have had a good time and lot were able to make it. Those who didn't make it were still able to get in during the Sat lobby. Several people recorded video on it so that should be coming soon. Thanks for the overwhelming response, it was humbling to get that much attention. There was literally so many RSVPs and INV messages sent that my inbox was deleting the old ones as new ones came in. Yet EVERYONE who was on that sent a message got in at some point. The first night lasted 6 hours and the second night was only 4 hours. That's 10 hours of CGN in one weekend, holy crap! SPECIAL THANKS TO MASTER DEBAYTES FOR BRINGING US THE GREAT MAPS OF HALO 3

No I am not getting it primarily because I am loyal to Samsung phones but also because I already have good boredom games on my phone(like RISK). If I am home then I will be playing Xbox if I want to play a game. So I won't be getting it even if it's an instant success, well made, great playing game. I hope that it is and that it keeps the spark lit for all the Halo lovers out there until Halo 5 is released.

Then it doesn't count. Then you should of put up a better option when you could JL. Don't make me........

Yeah the Driz meister is too much of a gentleman to do that to you plus he didn't suspect you of being associated with the Spetznaz

When it comes to receiving codes from any purchase at gamestop, then it will be on the receipt. This applys to specialty codes only, however, codes to skins and other generics will be included inside a unused limited edition game. If it is used then the codes have probably already been removed, used, or sold.

LMAO Sweaty bagels! I miss you man!

Those interviews are intense. I had no idea that Drizzy was going to blindfold and kidnap me. Put me int he trunk of his 53'. Then interrogate me in a dark warehouse tied up. But he was nice enough to release me unharmed when we finished. I told you I wasn't Spetnaz.

Is this different then Ducain's racetype or the others already released? PM me if you will please. Good to see forge Cafe over here BTW.

Griffin this is a great interview and I always appreciate those who serve the community. Speaking of the Online Knights, I remember them when Robious first was trying to get it started. He is a very humble man so every time I told him to plug his channel during CGN he was slow to react. I must have plugged it dozens of times but now it doesn't need lil guys like me plugging it LOL. I look forward to playing some REACH next month for CGN(whoops was that said out loud). I really enjoyed the aesthetics of REACH forging more. Some time we will have to go check out my maps on REACH where most of my forging happened. If you like aesthetics then you will love them. Now what you said about this community couldn't be more true. Some of the greatest from the Halo community make this forum their home base. I know for a fact that hundreds of heads will nod in agreement while reading your interview. I hope the Online Knights will continue to grow, that Halo will recover from the loss of fans, and that you find great success in your endeavors.
