Father B

Excellent.

Hey, Diego. I'm Father Bullet. Welcome to the community. Even though it isn't owned or operated by 343i I believe most of us prefer it, as it keeps the trolls at bay. So take it easy, have fun, and we'll see you around the forums and maybe even in the shoutbox.

I got that error message, too, when attempting to report Spambots. I just gave a shrug and figured that if a mod was scoping out the GD that they would spot it. I mean, what else is there to do except PM a mod directly? And I just don't feel like bothering SpecJest, EmoKit or Bob with something they might already know about. Cannot wait for the update.

Hey hey hey. I never said I found his "anti-joke" amusing or even semi-interesting. I was just saying that we don't have to get aggressive. Now here we are bumping a thread neither of us really cares all that much for. Let's move on. Sorry, Vince. Better luck next time.

Consider this: Nostradamus made many predictions. A lot if his predictions came true. The Mayans made one prediction. We have yet to see the truthiness of it. Nostradamus predicted the world will end in 2014 (at least, the world as we know it will end). How then could the world end totally and completely next year, when a well-known predicator of future events had foretold the end of the world (as we know it) in 3 years? As far as I'm concerned, it's all a toss-up. And who should care, really. Myself, I'm a Fatalist — when it's time to go, it's time to go, and there's nothing we can do about it. So make your plans, but don't be surprised if nothing happens.

Whoa, Silver. That was the point of his "anti-joke". It's like an exercise in irony. Sorry, Vince.

Hi there, TechNick. I'm Father Bullet. You can just call me Bullet, or even Father if you want (some do). Welcome to our humble community. Pleased to make your acquaintance and I hope you enjoy the forums as much as (or more than) I do. Before I post this, you should be informed of something that most new members don't catch right away: This isn't an official 343i site. We're just a community of Halo fans who didn't want to bum around B.net or Waypoint's forums anymore. Anyway, you take it easy, and we'll see you around, TechNick.

So what I'm getting from everyone's replies is this: Betrayal Booting is turned off for Infection because it would cause more problems than it would solve. But if you turn off Friendly Fire then all they (meaning "the would-be betrayers") can do is float and sputter (part of a quote from H:CE, Cortana sussing 343 Guilty Spark). Have fun and good gaming.

A friend and I were teamed up with a guy who raged like this. He had his buddy making drinks while we were in the pre-game lobby. It was hysterical. Drunken rage. Also, this concept reminds me of the Rage Quit series. Not as humorous, but it has its moments. Enough that I can't say it's a waste of time. Well done, screamo guy.

*Quietly* Pssst… Ares, this isn't an official 343i forum. It's just a fan forum. But your idea is cool. And who knows, maybe someone at 343i will be scouting ideas in fan forums like ours and decide yours is made of too much win to go without being made a reality. Here's hoping.

They should totally do it! It could even be like a bi-athlon or tri-athlon. You go from one dumpster to another as fast as you can, pick out as many bottles and cans as you can find (mind the broken glass and used hypodermic needles), and bring them back to a designated drop point. The use of city transit is optional, but finding a shopping cart is advised for large hauls. Anyway, the person above me knows how to find the good in a bad situation. The person below me had the hots for his Kindergarten teacher… He was 13 at the time.

Hey now, Z. Don't forget what happened to that bloke in England. 12hr sessions without many/any breaks and he dropped dead. Maybe you're healthier, but even if that's the case, Mr. Z, you should always take regular breaks to stretch your legs and give your eyeballs a rest.

What's your point, HH? I tried to curb the sort of behavior that went on in TK's intro thread, and others backed me up. But it'll undoubtedly happen again, assuming we ever get another female member who actually states in her intro thread that she's a girl. As for #2 there: This place IS better than B.net's forums. That's a point of pride amongst the regulars.

I'm happy today because I just picked up another shift at work this week, and I want to get my income tax return in so I can get out of this oversized cowtown. Coming here was a huge mistake that cost me over 2 years of my life. I am so done here. If all goes according to plan, and it should because it's a simple plan, then I can disappear.

You'll have no argument from me, Dog. Granted, I haven't played Reach in a while, nor H3 for that matter, but I still hear a lot about the ongoings in Reach. Like you said, the problem is the Credits. That system seems like a wonderful idea in theory, but in practice it made a lot of players lose focus of the game itself. There came to be too much emphasis on having the "cool" gear. Actually, when you think about it, it became like life: all about the acquisition of better things. And that's just wrong in so many ways. Sadly, the majority of the players who fell into this trap are kids. Kids are impressionable and believe that looking cool makes them cool, and this belief is perpetuated amongst their peers and players in the same age group. And while the notion of our appearances matching our skill is attractive, it's also elitest, and I think speaks to why the Waypoint armor unlocks were so (my apologies to anyone who actually likes the CQB or Military Police permutations) sad. Personally, I would want items in the armory unlocked by attaining medals and commendations. Different permutations should be unlocked by earning medals and commendations that have to do with the core concept of a permutation (example: EOD unlocked by earning X amount of kills with explosives, and Recon unlocked by earning X amount of Assassination medals, and so on). I'm with you in the hope that 343i doesn't repeat this mistake in H4/5/6.

Oh, hello there. Whats that you say? I'm happy today? Naw. I'm happy enough today. I blame gameplay videos of Skyrim.

This just now makes me wonder if there's going to be a pre-order bonus. If there is, I'll be a bit happier than this video makes me. *goes to find out*

That is absolutely fan-freaking-tasting. I mean, really. A Toyota Tundra? Why didn't they just set him up with a Pony? Pfft. Such garbage.

< mfw getting tea-bagged.

The person above me has ruined what little innocence I had left. The person below me knew Santa Claus isn't real, but sadly still believes in the Tooth Faerie.

Probably.

Dallas Green (Alexisonfire, City and Colour) for his candor, and honesty. Daniel Victor (Neverending White Lights) for his harmonic genius in making duets and songs for performers of certain sounds. Dave Genn (Matthew Good Band*, 54-40) for his musical genius and wild guitar riffs. Gord Downey (The Tragically Hip) just for being epic for the last 30+ years. Matthew Good (Matthew Good Band*, solo) for being incredibly poetic and insightful, and unabashedly honest. * Matthew Good Band disbanded either in 1999 or 2000. Also, all of these guys are amazing Canadian artists who write much of their own music and lyrics, and do so without pandering or "selling-out" to increase the size of their audience or fanbase. Matt Good refused to accept a music award back in the 1990's, stating that he had no want or need for the recognition of other artists, rather that his fans and his love of making music is all he needs. — Matthew Good

I truly haven't the foggiest of ideas what in the name of George you're talking about, Zed. And I'll show Vore just how skilled I am with words. The person above me seems to be above me quite often. The person below me may very well know me and should really show me the wits that they bear But don't sink too lowly or Spectral might woe thee by warning you slowly for words that don't care

"Please don't see the laser. Please don't see the—D'AWWW FFFFUUUUUUU—!"
