  1. Directly? No. Using an image hosting site, yes. Imgur, imageshack, and a couple others out there are great for it. You can either put the link in the PM to show off the picture or use the tags.
  2. It has come to the attention of the Moderating Team that there has been an increase in Backseat Moderating, particularly in the shoutbox. What is backseat moderating? Backseat Moderating is using authority you do not have to convince members to obey the rules you think they are breaking, or setting expectations for how Moderators will handle a situation. Why is Backseat Moderating bad? Members who tend to Backseat Moderate also have a tendency to think they are above their station. This causes a sense of arrogance and other members to dislike the members who Backseat Moderate. It also causes members to have a tendency to believe they are above the rules. If you are confused about what is acceptable behavior, here is an example. Member A is swearing at people in the shoutbox. He is being rude, abrasive, and flaming members left and right. You take a screenshot of the behavior (if possible) and file a detailed report on the activity. You then proceed to ignore Member A until he is taken care of. You do NOT: 1. Tell Member A to stop or else you'll report him. 2. Tell Member A that he is going to be banned if he doesn't stop. 3. Ask if there is a moderator in the shoutbox. 4. Tell other members to ignore Member A. 5. Engage Member A in a flame war trying to defend the honor of your fellow members. You are NOT a moderator and you WILL NOT backseat moderate under any circumstances. You do not have ANY authority when it comes to the disciplinary action of members in this forum, and you WILL NOT falsify having this authority. You WILL NOT set the expectations of others for how a moderator will handle a situation. Staff Response Any further Backseat Moderating will result in disciplinary action.
  3. http://www.343industries.org/rules Rule 1: I Buying / Selling / Trading is strictly prohibited. This includes the trading of services. Thread locked.
  4. 1. Completely incorrect. Just ask Pirate Bay about Minecraft (PC version). Or ask Torrentz about Battlefield 4. Both of which are multiplayer heavy (BF4 obviously more so than Minecraft) and are in the top 10 most pirated games. 2. You're not wrong here, but MS doesn't care about additional PC sales. Halo has been about selling consoles since H:CE and continues to be about selling consoles to this day. 3. Again, this is a problem for the minority of individuals, and not a problem for MS. If you want the games bad enough, you'll buy the platform they are supported on. Halo is Microsoft's game. What they do with it is their decision, and since the release of Halo 3 this topic has been done to death. There are easily over 10,000 posts on different Halo forums with people begging for Halo to come back to PC. It hasn't happened, and probably won't. If Microsoft changes it's mind that will be a welcome change, but they are not likely to.
  5. Meh, it's completely a matter of different tastes. To me, "Halo Waypoint" sounds really tacky. To you, I guess, "The Halo Channel" sounds really tacky.
  6. Loadouts came to be because of all of the complaints about AR/DMR/BR starts in previous Halo releases. If loadouts are in this game, and you have previously complained about the starting weapons in previous titles, you literally have no one to blame but yourselves if you don't like it.
  7. Circle of White or Colored Light Around a Luminous Body Caused by Refraction Through Ice Crystals in the Atmosphere: The Extended Arm Succumbs to Gravity (Halo: The Fall of Reach)
  8. How can "Waypoint" be considered better than The Halo Channel? lulz THC.
  9. As a preemptive measure... Staff Response Please remain civil when discussing anything on this forum. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action up to and including a ban from the forum.
  10. Lol not this time. However, if an award does come out for this thread I'll give it to you for the stump. Oh this one takes a bit of memory. Alright, so the watch? is part of the link. The watch is the part that brings you to the player, the question mark is either a placeholder or a conditional operator, and the rest of the link from that point determines what is streamed through the player. It's usually v= if I remember right, meaning Video Equals in a non-computer language. The way I use is to lay comfortably on my back in a room-temperature room (or colder with a blanket covering me), lay my hands at my sides so that they are not touching me, let my mind drift off and ignore the itching and small pains that happen, and don't move. After 7-10 minutes of this I usually feel a weight on my chest signifying sleep paralysis has taken over, and then drift off into lucid dreams after about 13-15 minutes.
  11. You accidentally double posted. This topic is newer, but has one more link than the other topic. So this topic gets kept.
  12. Staff Response This post is completely unrelated to the OP and is for the sole purpose of teaching people what "The Game" is.
  13. No. Jared Leto, who I consider to be an actor who happens to sing on the side. lol He's not married. No idea. I live on the opposite side of the United States. We've got 100.3 The X here.
  14. ^ This. If it is like the title suggests it is, then you can't post the completed version or even a link to the completed version here.
  15. Generally hands-on pods are booths that allow people to play the game.
  16. I enjoy the game, but the story is a bit... sketchy. <Wrongfully in prison for murder <Kill people to prove innocence <??? <Profit
  17. This is completely correct, as long as we are talking H3. Recon first started being given out to those who got all of the vidmaster achievements. They also gave it out to a few special people (the creators of RvB, creator of Arby & The Chief, and a couple of guys at Machinima). Then when Bungie handed over the reigns to 343i, it was decided that everyone who had played Halo 3 in the five years it had been out got it. As of right now, there is no way to get Recon Armor on Halo 3 any longer. That being said, this may change with the MCC, but there hasn't been any word on that yet.
  18. 1. Yes 2. Death Note 3. This one is difficult. If you mean physically, nearly all of the main characters with black hair and blue eyes. If you mean in a "point of view" way, probably Pain from Naruto.
  19. While I see where you are coming from (#singleplayer4lyf), I am going to say that Raids aren't for you. The intention behind them is to get people to come together and work as a team. When you add matchmaking to that, you then have the ability to play with... well everyone using the matchmaking. This feature discourages adding friends because you don't constantly play with them, and it's awkward enough making friends as it is. If you don't add friends, then eventually you're going to get troll lobbies or newbs on your team, which detract from your enjoyment of the game. If I know Bungie, they did the pros/cons thing and it came out more in favor of the cons.
  20. It's actually pretty easy. You can go to appleid.apple.com, sign into your Apple ID by clicking "Manage Your Apple ID", click Password and Security, and it should ask you to answer two of your security questions. If you have a rescue email set up, below that will be a link to send yourself a security question reset email. If you don't, you need to get ahold of AppleCare. You'll still need this page, as they are going to ask you for the Temp Support Pin.
  21. To some people there is a difference, but even so not much of one. They take illegal to mean forbidden by law and unlawful to mean not conforming to the law. As a matter of fact, Oxford Dictionary only recently changed it's definition of the two words to match this. Now, let's take a look at the two words themselves. illegal broken down into roots is il legal. Unlawful broken down is un law ful. By the root words in each we get this: il=not legal=permitted by law un=not law=system of rules ful=full So by their basic premise they are meant to be used interchangeably. Unlawful = not following the system of rules and illegal = not permitted by law(system of rules). In other words, jaywalking would be unlawful. It would also be illegal. Murdering someone is unlawful and illegal. There are people who split hairs on it's usage, saying that unlawful is used in a different way because of it's definition. For instance here's what the British & World Oxford Dictionary describes as the difference. U wot m8? Does soccer not have a system of rules? It does? That means that doing something like playing with your hands is against that system of rules, right? Which is the root word definition and the most commonly used form of the word illegal, right? Yes. Now you're probably asking, "How did things go so askew?!?!?!" It's pretty simple. Lawyers trying to look smart. One lawyer created a law dictionary that had a couple of usage definitions for the two words (which implied that they were not synonyms), and the other lawyers were like, "omguh I'mma luk dum yo" and followed suit. Of course, no one actually used the words separately. It's actually not possible to use them separately while using them correctly. Anything you say is illegal is also unlawful. Anything you say is unlawful is also illegal. /rant
  22. And in context, not so much. I mean, one SHOULD think death by explosion the exact opposite of encouragement, right?
