The Director

Apple is pretty money hungry. However, I don't see how them not expecting the gold color to be popular could be construed as anything except improper planning. I mean think about it. How do they make money off of that? There are only two decisions when you go into an Apple Store that is out of stock for the gold. You either buy a different color of iPhone 5s, or You wait and don't give Apple money until they make more. The obvious way for them to make money is to ramp up production of the gold iPhone 5s so that they can get more on the shelves, and offer them online. Which they have. Also, I'm not surprised someone payed 10k for a gold iPhone 5s. Especially when you consider that someone has payed 3k for one of the X-Box 360's boxes when it released. Not the X-Box, but the box. That the X-Box used to be in, but was no longer in.

This is half right. When I tried this, my X-Box 360 recognized the disc and would play the music, but would not download it from the disc. This is what I ended up doing: Needed Items -Some kind of disk -Computer capable of burning disks -Xbox w/ Hard Drive -iTunes (easy to download at itunes.com) 1.) Open up itunes and create a new playlist and name it what ever you'd like. 2.) Drag and drop the music you'd like to burn from your library into the newly created playlist. 3.) Once finished, click on burn disk at the bottom right of itunes. 4.) A screen should pop-up. Make sure Audio CD is checked before continuing. 5.) Put your disk into your computer and press burn. 6.) Once finished put the CD into your Xbox 360 and download the songs onto your hard drive or just play them of the CD.

Spectral Jester wasn't just a moderator. He was the moderator of moderator's. Which, in and of itself, is pretty legendary. Not to mention all of the giveaways that he funded, the playdates that he put together, and that he was one of the people who made the forum what it is today. There's a lot of credit to go around as to who helped make the forum as awesome as it is now, but Spectral Jester has earned more than an equal chunk of that credit. There's a ton of stuff that you've probably missed out on that was awesome and that Spectral Jester made happen. That's why he's a legendary member. As for me, I've been a part of this forum for two years, become one of the most decorated members on the forum, have one of the highest like/post ratios, and spent a ton of my time helping people on the forum with stuff like advice, achievements, fixing bugs, and making Halo forge maps. And that's not even when I was a moderator. When I was a moderator, I was on here dang near 24/7 fixing posts, banning trolls, fixing member names/titles, helping people learn to use the forum, as well as other things until my life dragged me away for a while. All of that Jester doubled, easily. Except my post count. He's only been able to beat that by about 1.23 times.

Thank you all for this honor. All of the replies had me rolling with laughter, especially AD's story about my moderatorhood. He left out the part where I broke the forum for 10-20 minutes when my ego hammer was first trying to acclimate to it's new environment. And to answer Zelda's question, I still have my Ego Hammer. It's just in need of some R&R from all of it's use while I was a moderator. lol I know I've been away for a long time, and even though I'm back to semi-active that's not really going to change in the coming months. I've got a new apartment, new job, new girlfriend, and new hours at the aforementioned job. Not to mention that business just picked up in a BIG way (and if you pay attention you can probably guess what it is I do now), and I'll be pulling 10-15 hour shifts for the foreseeable future. Which means I can't get on the forum at work anymore, and might not be able to every night, as I sometimes have to do that thing called sleeping. In short, I enjoy all of the times I've had on this forum and I can't wait until I can come back and enjoy it fully again. P.S. Jester, of course I was smiling. I broke the record for most posts over 10 words in a 24 hour period. lol

Granted, but it kills your friends and leaves you alone. I wish that wishes didn't get corrupted.

I actually did try and find the specifications for RAM for the iPhone 5s, and found out that Apple hasn't disclosed that. So we don't know how much RAM it has. I also failed to find a single article that stated the iPhone 5s had 1gb of ram. The 1GB (that you've listed it as being) is what is currently in the iPhone 5, though, so I can see how you could have made this mistake. The iPhone 5 actually has an A6 processor, with 32 bit architecture. iPhone 5s has an A7 processor with 64 bit architecture. For the processors, we don't yet know which one is superior. As the A7 processor is the first smartphone processor to have 64-bit architecture, there's no telling how it will handle. It may be amazing, or simply crap. As far as pricing goes, unlocked it is actually starts at 549, not 699. Even the 32gb is 629 €. Here you go: http://store.apple.com/uk/buy-iphone/iphone5s I also couldn't find the actual price for the Samsung Galaxy S4, because there are too many retailers selling it for different prices. A google search suggests pricing between 650 and €699. In short, I'm not entirely sure where you got your information, but a good chunk of it appears to be incorrect. I am not defending the iPhone 5s, I really don't care either way. I just wanted to inform you of your mistakes.

Mine is Halo 2. The reason is simply because it was, to me, perfectly broken. With so many ways to get outside the maps, and so many easter eggs hidden outside the maps (in campaign) it provided quite a few hours of entertainment. Simply trying to find all the glitches is easily a 30+ hour thing, not to mention following the actual storyline of the game. And then there was the multiplayer. A lot of people don't realize that Halo 2 was made when multiplayer was just first becoming a big deal on consoles. Taking that in mind, and comparing it to other games that were out at the time, it was really, really fun. Even playing splitscreen without X-Box live was pretty awesome. A lot of my best Halo memories come from Halo 2, and that's why it remains my favorite.

There are actually quite a few upgrades between the iPhone 5 and 5s. Upgrade wise, it's about the difference between the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4S. And there are a lot of things that are going to be different about the iPhone 5s compared to the 5. The iPhone 5s looks similar to the original iPhone 5 with an aluminum body available in three colors. It employs a faster A7 processor with 64-bit support, a new M7 “motion coprocessor” chip, a significantly improved camera, and the Touch ID fingerprint sensor in the Home button. Not to mention that with iOS 7 (which is almost completely different in the way it looks and feels), it doesn't even feel like an iPhone 5. I agree with you on one bit. The only reason to buy an iPhone 5s if you have an iPhone 5 is if you are a hardcore gamer or if you use it for work that demands peak performance. Otherwise, you are just wasting money.

Don't be afraid. Halo is far from done. Halo 4 has given 343i the budget needed to make Halo 5 bigger, better, and beastly. The main reason that people don't play Halo 4 as much as they used to is simply because they don't like the multiplayer gameplay. That's alright though, because they still bought the game, and play it on occasion. There are tons of games out there that don't even have multiplayer that sell amazingly (final fantasy, for instance [disregarding the MMO's]). Just because people don't play it doesn't mean they won't buy Halo 5. 343i has a pretty good idea what their audience is looking for now, and are working on incorporating it into Halo 5. The people who buy Halo are pretty diverse. You have those that buy it simply for the multiplayer and nothing else, those that buy it for the campaign, those that buy it for forge and for roleplay, those that buy it simply to collect it, and then you have those that buy it for all of the above. Even if one of those groups don't buy Halo 5, it will still make a ton of money. As long as it makes money, they can make more games and continue the saga.

Yeah, me too And thanks lol Glad everything's looking up around here

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. On the Apple website, it says "order it from September 20th". Not sure if this means you can't preorder it, and it's released on the 20th or if it means that it's tba on a release date and you can pre-order on the 20th. What do you mean by this?

So Apple's iPhone Conference was today. Anybody who uses iPhones, iPods, iPads, or any other Apple device should have been on the edge of their seat during the keynote. To watch the keynote: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2013/ So here's the rundown on the products they announced. iOS 7 iOS 7 is being released before any other iPhones are, and has a few upgrades and differences from iOS 6. From the Apple website: "iOS 7 introduces great new features like Control Center, AirDrop for iOS, and smarter multitasking. It also makes the things you do every day even easier, faster, and more enjoyable. And while many of the apps look different, the way you do things feels perfectly familiar. So from day one, you know how to use the world’s most advanced mobile OS. In its most advanced form." It also has some new security features with Find my iPhone that will make it more difficult for someone to sell or use a stolen device. It will be available on September 18th to update your iOS devices. It is compatible with iPhone 4 and later, iPod Touch 5th generation and later, and iPad 2 and later. http://www.apple.com/ios/ iPhone 5c The iPhone 5c is going to be a faster, cheaper version of the iPhone 5. It's also going to come in a bunch of different colors with cases. It contains an A6 chip, 8MP iSight camera, 4-inch Retina display, and Ultrafast LTE wireless. Pre-orders will begin September 13th and delivery will begin on the 20th. It starts at $99. http://www.apple.com/iphone-5c/ iPhone 5s The iPhone 5s is the major upgrade. According to Apple's website: "A7 supports OpenGL ES version 3.0 to deliver the kind of detailed graphics and complex visual effects once possible only on Mac computers, PCs, and gaming consoles." It also includes an M7 coprocessor, an upgraded camera (15% better, apparently), an HD facetime camera, and Ultrafast LTE wireless. It also comes in three colors, silver, gold, and gray. There will also be cases that can be purchased with the iPhone 5s. Pre-orders begin on September 20th. It starts at $199. http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s User tips: Before upgrading your iOS, be sure to make a backup. Doesn't matter to me how, just be sure you do it.

No. Videos games do not make me violent... Lag does.

Yeah, that's kind of the internet in a nutshell. The fractured community is actually what makes it great. You see, we all love the same games, but different parts of the games. Some parts of the community love to rage at each other about what their favorite is, other's don't. The splintering of the community isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just makes being a part of the Halo community a bit more interesting.

Granted, but you get hit by a bus. I wish that rain was skittles.

Granted, you die of chainsaw. I wish for every video game in the world.
