They wanna revive Megatron? Seems like there's more of an ulterior motive than just killing Optimus for killing other people...... Hmmm. KUTGW.

Matchmaking KDR does. Keep in mind he said Matchmaking kill death ratio - that means he isn't playing against all the MLG Pro players, but a large range of players. Factor in the fact that, as Mr. Biggles said, MLG in Halo isn't really that big anymore and the number of good players in general population has most probably decreased over time, you'll realize it does make a big effect.

With this length, I'll probably be both more motivated to write, and also be able to do it quicker, so expect shorter release dates. If at all possible I might end up doing this weekly. Yes, there was a reference. And no, usually things are fairly simple when you look at it from a large perspective. Chapter 6: Deal of two mods They were in that same bar once again, HaloGeek sipping on a glass of apple juice, Edward drinking rum, The Kilburnator sipping on that crimson juice that simply didn't look humane at all, and Church drinking water. "So, what?" Edward asked. While the adrenaline rush and the other side effects had calmed down, it was still hitting him hard how close he had been to being banned. Only through an unplanned miracle had he survived, and there was little to no idea whether the MoM's power would work again. It had dissipated after shielding him from the sniper's bullet, and he didn't want to test whether the power was still there. "I mean, what now?" Church shrugged. Out of all of them, he was still the most carefree. While normally this would be apt, and he had OP mod powers he could freely abuse on each and every other person within the group, their enemy was somebody who could strike right through it. It seemed as though Church was oblivious to that fact, as he replied casually, "Nothing. We really just have to wait and hope to stop the Sniper's next attack." The crew looked at each other, then back at Church. HaloGeek was the one who spoke what was on all their minds. "You're a mod. Surely you have ways of detecting this sniper that far exceeds the capabilities of the average member." Church shrugged. "I might," he replied, "But I'm not sure if I DO, and even then I don't want to go snooping around against somebody who can ban me." The Kilburnator frowned, squinting his eyes at the same time. "So you're just lazy." "Nope. Anyways, I think this ragtag meeting of ours is done. There's nothing.......we.......can do. Lets just make sure to private message each other in case we see anything fishy....But not Fishy! because he's a nice member and a cool guy. Fishy, as in, fishy, so it's like....." He paused awkwardly, then sighed. "Nevermind. You understand what I'm trying to say." And then he stood up, and sprinted for the exit, leaving the others in the dust. A few seconds, 6 corners and 9 alleys later, Church burst out laughing. "HAHAHAH! Idiots! Man, the look on their faces. Thank goodness I could get away from all that yiddie-yaddle.....TitanFall Beta, here we go! YES! I'm gonna play for, like hours straight. Gonna get-" A sudden flicker of movement, and the moderator spun with an expert grace and practiced movement, unhitching his sniper rifle and swiftly firing a volley of 4 shots forwards. "Come out. I can sense you." As if a ghost solidifying, Zelda appeared from the cover of the darkness, wearing simple, casual clothes. While to the average member it would have been nothing out of the ordinary, Church could make out the form of the skinsuit underneath that Azaxx had made for his protegé. Though he did let his stance slack and his rifle lower, he still kept his guard up. He knew Azaxx's power, and he wasn't exactly open minded in testing out what exactly Azaxx had empowered within Zelda. "Hello, Zelda. What brings you here?" Coyly, she smiled, approaching the other moderator with a small twinkle in her eye. She wanted something - or Azaxx wanted something. It was always one or the other. "My master can see that you've decided to create a team to try and hunt the Sniper." Church frowned. He had no recognition of doing anything of the sort. What team was Zelda talking about? Blue Team? Church didn't want to get teamkilled again. "He has personally requested that.......I keep them in line. HaloGeek, Edward, The Kilburnator.....they are a loose cannon. My master won't risk that, and he hopes neither will you." "Oh," Church said, "So he's butting into MY business without even finding out all the details." Silently annoyed, he wondered whether telling Zelda or Azaxx of the fact that those 3 had come begging him to help rather than the other way around would change the plans the Master and Apprentice duo had. Probably not, knowing those two. Zelda hissed. "Do not speak of my master like that, Church. You may be a moderator, but respect is still a thing." "Yeah, sure. How respectful is lurking in the dark, always listening to everything said but never speaking up? Because that's Azaxx for you." "Shut up. Answer the question - will you accept his request or not?" "That's not even a question!" "How is it not?" "How is it?" "JUST ANSWER IT!" "FINE! Yes, I accept Azaxx's weirdo stalker request to have you around!" Wordlessly, Zelda nodded, coming in close to randomly hug Church for no reason. "Your request has been accepted," she whispered into his ear, "You'll be notified when we find something." Church twitched. MY REQUEST? As if deciding it was time to flee from the incoming wrath of the moderator, Zelda smiled, turned, and once again vanished into the dark using the arts of the lurker. Church grunted in annoyance at the turn of events, waited for a moment to see if something would happen, before finally deciding to go. "Well....now that that's all over, I can finally - wait....what?" With an urgency, he quickly began to fish into his pockets, trying to look for something that he had apparently lost. "But...but....it was just there a minute ago! NooooOOOOOO-" * * * "Was the negotiation successful?" "Yes, Master. I'll be heading out to oversee Church's group soon." "And the other thing?" Zelda grinned, holding up a beta key for TitanFall in her hands. "Of course, Master." /discuss

Yes. Did you know I despise these forum games, because they're really just questions and answers and don't have a big 'game' factor to them?

Husband and Wife Name Daughter After Mass Effect Character!

Bet they'll just end up calling her Talia -
I don't really like the background, because it so heavily impacts the foreground. More of the particle fx might be helpful. However, the text movement looks really good, albeit the random angles are...well, very random. Most of the time in an intro, even the angles have a bit of order to them. Would be cool to see what you fully create out of this!

....... you just wait cuz oh man oh man

Another BF4? No. This beta looks like a triple A title. BF4 beta looked terrible. Can't wait. However, 'Fully reliant on Xbox Live compute'? If that gets taken down, then that'll suck.

Chapter 5: Weapon of the Banned Drizzy looked at Pbrabbit. Pbrabbit looked at Spyro. Spyro looked at Drizzy. "So what now?" Drizzy asked first, immediately walling the two others from asking the same question. "You're the mod, I thought you'd be the one who'd knew. After all, you're the one who led us here," Spyro said to Drizzy. Pbrabbit nodded, simply trying to shift answering that god forsaken question to someone else. Drizzy shrugged. "I have a vague understanding of how to move through the realm of the Banned, but never once do I actually know where we are. Spacetime is distorted, everything looks weird. If we were in Pokemon, this would be the Distortion world. Except there isn't a capitalized GIRATINA running around in a linear puzzle. This is a world, one which can't be mapped the normal way, and we're trying to find a single object within it." "The Staff of Infinite Powers," Spyro said in wonder. "Why was it stuck here?" Again, Drizzy shrugged. "To be honest, I'm not so sure myself. I vaguely remember that it had been Twam who had placed the Staff down here, but even the Staff is something that he could not master. It's an artefact that exists meta of the 343i.org subspace universe, something whose history predates and preludes us. But.....I can't really remember anyway. Thinking about it hurts my head, I assume from all the paradoxes." He gave a faraway gaze to fit the context of the scene, before snapping back to reality with a snap of his fingers. "Anyways, lets ignore that topic for now. We have a choice - either explore this island, which may eventually turn out to be more a continent than an Island, what with the lands always moving and stuff, or we could try to fly off. But I do have a pressing issue at hand, and running away from it wouldn't help." "What is it?" Pbrabbit asked, concerned. It wasn't every day that a staff said they had a pressing issue, even if they were banned. Although that may have been due to the fact that no staff had ever been banned. Or had issues. Drizzy extended his palm, and began to channel his residual staff powers. White-blue energy cascaded off his fingertips like slow-mo waterfall, before he re-absorbed the energy with his other hand. "This is the remaining energy from being staff. It's a fair fraction of what I originally had before I was banned, but now that I'm here, I'm slowly being drained of the power." Spyro and Pbrabbit nodded. They could understand - even now, despite having moved very little, they felt like they had just taken a long hike - existing within the realm of the banned was exhausting. Drizzy was losing a lot more energy than they did. The purple dragon looked towards Drizzy. "And your moderator ring is gone. I assume it shattered when your position was revoked. That was the key, wasn't it? It held the energy, like a recharging battery." Drizzy nodded. "In a way, yes. I can't explain everything because that would take too long, but simplified you could say that the ring was a recharging battery of moderator energy. Now, the recharging bit is gone, and my body is the conduit for the circuit of energy. It continuously flows within me, and doesn't stop. There isn't necessarily an exit within said circuit of energy, but like an electrical circuit's energy turning into thermal energy and being lost, my energy is being lost as well. I need to place what remains into something that can hold, trap, and use the moderator powers, similar to the ring, but it won't be recharging." "And what object will you place it into?" Pbrabbit asked, though already he could guess the answer - they had to go look for something that worked. "I don't know," Drizzy answered as he gestured with his hand to the expanse of the forest around them, "But I hope to see what I can find in this realm. The side effects of using a weapon from the realm of the banned excites me to, which is why I suggest simply walking inland. Any objections?" Both Spyro and Pbrabbit shook their heads. "Well then, lets go!" Drizzy said with enthusiasm before skipping through the forest, Pbrabbit and Spyro following. Under his breath, Spyro muttered, "Wow. That took a loooong time."

If you could be ported into a video game...

The ideal video game world I'd like to exist in, doesn't exist and probably won't. But if I was forced into one, it'd be one where life is a whole lot better. -
Thanks to GSD for helping out test this map. Maybe someday we could do it again. With maybe more people. Like in a playdate or somthing. o.o REPOSTED FROM HC: Castblock is a map I made when procrastinating on revision. Due to timezones and laziness (probably 95% due to the former and 5% due to the latter) I haven't been able to test this map yet, so it's safe to say it's crap. Still, posting it probably would get it a better chance of being tested. Castblock is a small, symmetrical map that is made for at most 5v5. Almost certainly 5v5 wouldn't work, but because I have no idea WHAT works I simply put 5 spawns on each side and say its a 5v5. (Spawns probably suck too) Heree is a picture of pretty much the entire map, from a corner of it. Picture of a base, with some of the center in view. The set of columns horizontal? You can walk on that to gain height advantage but it slows your walking. You get their with lifts from the sides; Rockets spawn there. A picture of the sides, as well as the middle of the map. The two one way shields allow you to jump up to the third level, while in the middle of the second level is a power weapon spawn. One side has Sticky Det, the other has Railgun. There's a trench that goes down the middle, along with 3 bridges going over it. You can easily jump down and up again, and you don't have to crouch under the bridges to move. Heres a straight on view of the base. Two ramps allow you to go forwards, one ramp to the left and right allow you to take alternate ways out, and a mancannon is on each side to let you get on top of the disc thingy, where a sniper spawns. This map is wholly untested, is probably too big for max players, and probably is messed up with spawns and needs a lot of fixing. If anybody could playtest it, and/or yell at me/give constructive criticism about it, that'd be great. Thanks!

Microsoft Confirms No Pre-Loading for Titanfall on Xbox One
Is not JL replied to VinWarrior's topic in General Discussion
Buying. I've never seen a line to buy these massive AAA games, ever. In fact, I'm fairly sure everythign is released a day earlier here; I just go to the store, buy it, and go home. I'll install it anyway though. It feels better with a hard copy of the game since I can get the cool boxart. (And no preloading on 360 anyway) -
My first instinct problem wouldn't have been 'go to waypoint' but oh well. Everything you say makes sense if not for the fact that no matter what, a good player will still do good. If every MLG tryhard were in a game, each with the same skill level, each using promethean vision with tactics and thoughtfullness it will all be still. They hop into a lobby with newer, noober, and less skilled players? Naturally they will dominate using the tools at hand. Same with Active Camo. Same with Boltshot. Arguably overpowered and certainly a crutch but if I die, I die. It's my fault I did something stupid that ended up ruining my 70+ kill streak, and while I'll be mad and pissed and angry I wouldn't see it as the weapon's fault. To cure myself I go and hunt whoever killed my like a madman. Anyways, balances. -PV shows on the minimpa where the user is, user's face glows, it mucks up color and everything, depth perception is gone so spatial awareness is REQUIRED. -AC distorts when you move around, sound and radar is messed up so you can't detect stealthy players flanking you, at close range you're easily visible. -Boltshot is shotgun, then I use rifle and kill them at range. lul.
