Whatcha doin'?

Drinking Jim Beam and Pepsi Max while figuring out my new router's issues and dreaming of the Christmas that my parents gave me a full sized arcade Defender game. You?

Thinking about how you should have asked buzd what router to buy before you bought that router.

That and thinking about you on a ladder singing "Cool Rider."

He did. He didn't listen.

So, after a month or so off from playing reach, I played some last night. I was struck by a few things. The controls and hit detection really are top notch and the game is a lot of fun. But, I played a few rounds with an armo(u)r locker and it nearly ruins the game. If for not other reason, I became focused on killing him to the exclusion of anything else. Which leads me to ask, why Bugee? Why?

On the positive side, I did manage to get behind the armo(u)r locker and assassinate him and he quit the game right after that. So, that was satisfying.

Playing MLG and Arena playlists is the only way to go. No Armor Lock at all.

I agree I was in a game and everytime the guy went into armor lock, one of his teammates were able to show up and save his sorry butt before I could finish him. My take is to back off for a bit, and try to time a grenade that way you can still be prepared for another encounter, you might have to duck out if somebody else comes.

I also donwloaded the Map Pack it seems pretty cool so far. I'll have to play some more to get a good take...we played Territories, and team Snipers and the space setting one, and CTF on the beach one. Forgot the map names lol... still haven't played on the 3rd one.

Yeah, that's how I tend to deal with them too. But, that doesn't really work if they are in a group. You're so busy fighting off the rest of the team that you don't have time to time or place the grenade perfectly.

Anway, I have the new maps. In fact, I bought them probably a month ago, but I haven't played any of them.

My Bungie email indicates that Halo now has a game mode called "Bro Slayer".

Awesome.

Halo may have just jumped the shark.

I played some Reach last night, anyone know what SWAT Potato is? Every time it came up people voted against it.

I think it's SWAT Oddball and the ball blows up every 30 seconds.
