  1. I cleaned out the HDMI Port, tried 2 other HDMI cables, and a total of three HDMI ports on TV's, but still no luck.
  2. So I was moving my Xbox from one room to another, and I began to set it up, but when I turned the TV on, nothing. So I pulled the Hdmi cable out of the back of my Xbox, and plugged it into my Bluray player, and it worked. Since it's not my cable, I'm wondering if there's any way I can fix this problem. Any help is appreciated, Thanks, -BZ1
  3. Today I have officially been here one year! So to celebrate my first 365 days at 343industries Community Forum I've compiled a one year summary of my stay called "The 'First' Year of The Zebra."   Back in November I was in my room looking for Halo:Reach tips on YouTube. As I looked through the search results I noticed all of these awesome maps that I'd never seen in matchmaking before, I soon realized these were forge maps and I could send them to my Xbox and play them! But I had no idea how, so I went to the place that knows everything...GOOGLE! Which led me to none other than...HaloWaypoint.com. Where I received no help whatsoever. Back to Google! This time I scrolled once more eventually clicking on 343industries.org!   I signed up and posted my first thread, "Halo Reach Forge" I played so MANY maps. After that I shouted a bit, replied to 3 more discussions, and after about 2 or 3 days...I...I...forgot about 343iCF! I forgot about it until about 2 weeks after Christmas. Then I became pretty active on the forums. I tried to visit the site at least 3-5 times a week and I met a bunch of awesome members. I even got my first award, (The Assist, for helping AD find a news article) and attended my first Play Date. The Play Date, Reach Play Date to be precise, was really fun. I got to play with Absolute Dog for the first time, and Imakequilts, and a moderator now, Skummigummigube. Although I only got to stay for one match (I'm really busy on Saturdays) it was a great match, I hopped in a Scorpion and did major damage, then I went around armor locking (yeah, I armor lock. Come At Me Bro!) Following this I continued to make posts and really started to enjoy my early sessions of ShoutBoxing with Azzax. Then it came, on the very first Friday of February, I attended Spades Custom Game Night! With this event I met Spades N AZ, a really great boxer, who gives a mean massage and hosts the greatest custom game nights on Earth. The following month on the 14th, I shed my greenhood and became purple after beating Frankenzer in a race to 200 posts. (Although he did make it to 500 posts before me lol) After that I continued to diligently post and meet more of the wonderful members that make up the Halo community. On May 14th, I received what I consider my greatest honor to date, "The Dog." An award AD hand chooses to give out, and I find it an incredible honor to be the recipient of such an award. The following month I received yet another great honor, "Member of the Month." I wore my PINK with pride! I always thought it was pretty neat that I became MoM on the same month of my Birthday. (For those of you wondering when I left team Purple, I posted my 500th post and became a dedicated silver/white/gray during my status as MOM.) I wasn't on a whole lot in July, (didn't log on for an entire week at one point) because of my busy summer schedule. But in August I happened to come by a great post by Total Mayh3m that inspired me to do more for our community, and so the 343i Weekly Poll began! Also in August I cracked a list. I made it on onto a special list, that I had tried to get on since January and I hope I never get removed from it. Meet your Maker started up in August and I was really excited to start working on my first Dominion map! So I started forging, brainstorming for a map idea, learning Dominion, and going to bed exhausted after late night sessions. I saw AbleSir Thomas was hosting MYM testing lobbies, and so I submitted my map. A few days later AbleSir Thomas got up with me in forge. It would seem as if my very first Dominion map...was a disaster. Looking back now I completely agree with him, my map was way to small and wouldn't have made it very far (if at all) in the contest. So AbleSir Thomas gave me a wealth of valuable information and tips, and I deleted my map. For the next few days I worked hard on my map, putting in a lot of time because I felt like I was falling behind after restarting my map. But after a long early morning forge session, I took some other maps into forge to test them and after testing those maps I went through deleting them. Then it happened, I deleted my map on mistake! But I wouldn't stop, I kept on forging! I watched everything I could to try to make my map the best it could be. Finally after some testing and modifying, Eddok was ready for submission. I submitted and waited excitedly to see the results.     Come September Spyro started the USF nomination poll up and I partnered with Total Mayh3m to run for Forum Co-Presidents! The election was close, at one point Mayh3m and I had about 7 votes but some members changed their minds and we went down to about 5 votes I think. But ultimately Azaxx was victorious and became the forum's very own dictator! Uh, um, I mean President! Congrats Azaxx   Then BCAM rolled in and we painted the forums pink in honor of all of our cancer victims. We also had a great time when the forum's very first "Community Event" rolled around. It was a lot of fun...for GSD...and the rest of us too It really was a great event, as the staff steamrolled us...and began competitive crouching...yeah it was a lot of fun, when I joined we played I think 7 non FFA games and us members won 2, or 3 of those. But all in all, a lot of fun meeting members that I had wanted to meet for a long while.   October 29, 1:09am I was in the Shoutbox with one of my many friends on this site, Azaxx. But that's not the only thing that was special that night, you see Azaxx summoned... Twam. Then BOOM! In a burst of thunder, I heard a voice boom from the heavens, I heard Twam say: "Doritos :drool:" We talked some were joined by Gryffin and just had a great time. Then November (aka this month) rolled around and we got a new forum mother. Bnus! A well deserved honor for him. (Good job, buddy) I also hosted a play date for the first time on-huh? Oh. Excuse Me, D_D has just informed me I hosted a Community Event for the first time. Don't worry it's ok, no he won't hold against me. And that just about sums up my first year here! Thank you all for taking the time to read this, I know the following year will be just as fun and exciting with the addition of all the new faces on the site and the return of some older faces as well. It's been a great first year. -Thanks, BZ1

  5. Shave a bear's chest. COD: Ghosts or BF4?
  6. Happy 99th Birthday!!

  7. "Battle For Earth" And it would be a FPS-RPG type game that had to deal with the very original idea of protecting earth from aliens. Do you have a dog? If so what's his/her name?
  8. This is a very good explanation topic for Dominion. I look forward to reading your updated entries. Good Job!
  9. Welcome to the Community Archer! We're gonna be having some kind of 2v2 event here soon (more details will be revealed later.) Anyways can't wait to see you around the forums and maybe even a community event or two.
  10. I hate that Destiny is taking such a PS4 staple look, but I can't wait to see what news will be revealed tomorrow!
  11. I think 4 teams of 3 works better and probides a better experience for everyone. I had stopped playing multi-team because of how bad the spawning was affected when you had 6 teams of 2. But I like 4 teams of 3, it allows for better spawning and teamwork is needed a bit more because you have 3 people in their little pack gunning down stragglers, rather than two.
  12. You got it right! Axilus Prime~2 Ryu♥Hayabusa~1 Beckoningzebra1~1 JXZAW~1 RC-01/271~1 RedStarRocket91~1 You get to make the next riddle
  13. You won't be able to get this achievement in custom games, and there are no DLC required playlists sadly. So you will not be able to get this achievement until 343i releases a playlist in matchmaking where you can use your Castle DLC. I hate that 343 is having people pay money for maps, and then not letting them play them. This needs to be fixed.
  14. Yes, New Phoenix that is my home. I enlisted young, fought brave and hard, saved my Platoon from evil's roam. Now I fight along my mates, to save this planet from its fate. You soon will find that I'm no rose, Elites fear me, I'm their foe. Who am I?
  15. Are you going into War Games, then choosing find game, scrolling through the playlists and trying to get your Castle DLC to show up in matchmaking's map rotation? If you are, I'm sorry to say that there are no DLC maps currently being used in matchmaking at this time. (With the exception of Forge) If your Castle DLC is not showing up for you when you go into Custom games or Forge to look at your maps, then I'm afraid I've never personally had this problem, but perhaps if you uninstall your Castle DLC from your console and then reinstall it, it will show up. Let me know if this works or not.
  16. Hello Bruce, it's awesome that you have a clan and it's even better that you're trying to grow it, but I'm not really sure I understand what the clan is about. Maybe you could help me (along with other curious members) understand your clan a little better. Perhaps you could tell us what games your clan plays, if you're a competitive clan or more of a casual clan, or why your clan's name is "Republican Clan." All of those would be really helpful for myself other members to better understand you and your clan. Good Luck Recruiting!
  17. This is wonderful news! Forge Cafe an official 343iCF Affiliate Keep up the good work Undr Zid! Congratulations Brett! I've seen a few of your videos before and you do an excellent job, can't wait to see more of your content!
