  1. Ok guys, I know this is a bit unorthodox of an approach, but I'm fresh out of ideas and outlets. The basic premise of this thread, is so that fellow members and friends of this forum can post personal issues they are experiencing and gain help or advice/guidance from members whom may have insight or something useful to contribute. Thread guideline is simple. If you have a problem, post it! Please try not to use any vulgar language or anything inappropriate. If your responding to a problem someone has, please "quote" the problem, then issue your advice or guidance. Now that, that is all laid out, I'll start off.... I am at a point in my life right now, where I am unable to do anything proactive enough to change it. That's not to say I'm not trying, but all efforts and directions I choose, seem to fail. I lost my job back in February and I was ineligible to collect unemployment. I have spent the last 15 years of my life doing Restaurant management and Retail management. Every position I apply for in my local stores, seems to go nowhere. I think people see my resume and application and disqualify me for basic jobs based on the old perception that "I am overqualified". I am broke and I need work close to home, since my car was repo'd. I am looking for any kind of direction or guidance that might help me get a job ASAP! The second part of my problem involves a girl. many of you know I got divorced back in August of 2013. The divorce was due to a relationship I started with my then girlfriend Amelia. Since Amelia left me back in September, I have struggled to find acceptance and a partner in general who I really click with. I recently met someone and I really like her! We click on many levels and she reminds me a lot of Amelia. I'm not trying to compare them, I just know what I want in a girl. My problem is, I'm afraid to move forward with her, due to my inability to generate income and really contribute anything on a minute level in a relationship. The older I am getting, the harder it is to find the girl I'm looking for. I've been told to go for it anyway, or I might miss out. I have told this girl all about my situation, and she still talks to me and seems interested. To quote her, "An honest broke is better than a lying man trying to be something he is not". So what should I do? Should I continue talking to her and let her know I like her and want to see something more come out of it? Or should I cut communication and say **** it? I really need some help here guys and gals. I'm not used to feeling this helpless, and anything you can provide might help me out.
  2. I need advice.... Life has gotten a wee bit out of hand now...

  3. How about some items and wishes that are within the realm of possability? Cant stand reading half of the useless idiotic wishes in this thread.
  4. Infamous has a long way to go before it reaches Super Mario quality. In terms of graphics, lighting and shaders, Cryengine simply cannot be beat. With CoD, I could care less how efficient or polished the console version ends up being. That image is likely a dev system render anyway...meaning PC. PC is all I care about, and quite frankly, the PC platform has no worries in the render or computing category for the title.

  6. This is not the official 343Indiustries website. Thought that was apparent with the "Community Forum" banner under the logo up there....guess not. You want Halowaypoint to address this.
  7. ^^ BANNED for having to edit your post with proper punctuation.
  8. Here's a novel idea. Let's focus on true cannon and set Halo 5 back on Harvest. Let's play through the insurgents with Red and Blue team. Halo has so much potential, but instead, we stick with the old Covie vs UNSC, with a dash of third party (flood, forerunner). For that matter, can we please have a Halo game that doesnt start off with a Covenant ship boarding party, of Chief crashing into something? It gets old fast...
  9. Why would I want to.see another misleading trailer, that is fully rendered CGI cinematics? Halo 4's trailer was not engine rendered, which we all found out once we got to play the game and saw that the amount of detail wasnt there. Not to mention the horrible lighting. For that matter, just to educate you guys a bit. The opening, Librarian, ending and prologue, were not rendered ingame. They are BIK video files externally located on the root of the maps folder. Further, the cinematics, or at least half of them, are embedded BIK videos in the tag resources. At least with Halo 2 and 3, we had actual true cinematics rendered by the engine.
  10. Hey man, it was damn good find. It may not have actually been the Transformers, but it takes a damn good eye to corrolate something like that on a level that is always moving quickly. If it hadnt been for your curiosity, I would have never gone into the level.structure and found those awesome spots. Kudos to you my friend!
  11. You know what they could do for me? How about getting their proverbial modeling asses in gear, and make the Spartans look like Spartans again, instead of these horrible Evangelion looking pieces of **** they call Spartan IV's! On top of that, let's be real here 343i, when are you gonna quit being so lazy on the engine side of things? Real time reflections? Nope. Bungie did it back in 1999 on Legacy hardware running DX9a for christ sake! And what do we have with DX9c/SlimDX and DX11?!? Cubemaps?!?!? Come the **** on! I can tell you this much, unless they shift their art design MM focus to more closely match cannon Halo and the experience of Halo 2/3, well....the ship is gonna sink fast. Nooooooo, lets not innovate the engine and experience to look more realistic. Lets not create something as immersive, that made Halo popular....no. lets immitate other FPS titles...that will surely win. FAIL. Im callin it even before we see a lame full CGI trailer. I swear to holy Twam, if I see one frame of footage that isnt fully ingame rendered, im gonna destroy every bit of Halo that I have residing on my HDD. Coming from me, that says a lot considering I have 13+ years of Halo.created content that I still make even today. ****! Now im in a worse mood than when I came to this thread.
  12. Id be on board to help a bit, but it all depends on what you had in mind. Before deciding on Unity, you should first carefully list out the features in detail, that you hope to include, as well as any foreseeable changes or additions. When choosing a platform and engine, you need to weigh the pros and cons, as well as scaleability.
  13. Oh, Catastrophe - Crown The Empire
  14. Not ringing any bells here. Have we argued before?
  15. I remember it well. Got the first one on Christmas 1989. Good times man. Only game I got with it was Tetris. Played the **** out of that. Had to wait till my birthday the following 6 months until I got Basball and some Bugs Bunny game. Yeah it was lame, my parents did let me get Mortal Kombat when it hit later in the 90's, but man, nothing compares to that oversized hunk of plastic. I think my brother may still have one in a drawer somewhere next to his original NES.
  16. First off, think of where this is coming from. Deviant Art, or as I like to call it, "Fan Boy wanna be artist who uses Photoshop to manipulate **** art into cool stuff so STFUOMFG"- Ville. Sites like Deviant Art have become nothing more than self righteous sess-pools of "Better than everyone" artists. My big point is, if your still on sites like Deviant Art and not making a serious living off your ****, then get the **** over yourself, you suck at art then!. I'm not saying this is you Sniper, I'm just trying to give you a little perspective as someone who was around on the internet well before anything past 27kbps dialup, and sites like Deviant Art. Forget about them. If you want to get your art out there and promoted, look no further than Youtube and hosting your own site. You'd be better off.
  17. You didn't find Optimus Prime or Megatron. Due to the geometry and it's multi angular look, it can sometimes fool you into thinking you see something. I just went through every bsp on m90_sacrifice.map, and I only found two distinct instances in where the geometry or bitmaps could lead you to think your seeing a Transformers face. here are the 2 screenshots from the bsp's... Additionally, I find no tag or bitmap referrence or any images that could be consrued as Transformers. Sorry to dissapoint you my friend.
  18. Yes but it also that MLG gametype that spawned the whole " MLG is the only thing that matters" and "MLG is better than everyone" mentalities. Not saying the entire population had that feeling, but the number of legitimate MLG players who were not stuck up are the minority.
  19. Listening to "The Last Time" by Taylor Swift ft. Gary Lightbox. So depressing I'm just sitting here crying my eyes out. This goes out to you know who, you know where.

    1. Silent Orbis

      Silent Orbis

      Yeah... I hope things straighten up. :(

  20. Favorite gametype for Halo 3 huh? Toss up between Action Sack and the Juggernaut variant that had you driving a coarse to reach and kill the Juggy.
  21. ODST had the best campaign of any Halo title. It didnt have a multiplayer feature standalone, outside of Firefight. In retrospect, FF in ODST is far superior to that of it's second incarnation in Reach. And what is stale or non innovative about CoD and BF? I have never heard those comments thrown around, outside Halo themed forums....which by mentioning that, seems a bit biased on your part. Forums for BF and CoD would say the same things about Halo, except in this case they would be correct, given the large amount of feedback we hqve seen on our own forum. In any case, what 343i needs to do os, NOT LISTEN to our silly ideas, and NOT emulate aspects of other FPS. This forum alone has proven how unreliable and downright retarded the community is. They'd be better off listening to brainded sloth's.
  22. Or successfully construct a method to distort and compress space around a vessel, allowing warp variation travel at 27 times the spped of light. Anything of less faster design would result in a generation journey.
  23. Someone check with Hell's Electric bill balance, cause Hell just froze over! Yup, I'm posting up a pic of myself for the time capsule. Please save all swooning and attempts to hit on me to a minimum. Thanks!
