So I know I promised videos and screenshots however I have ran into a few snags on the video end, I bought bungie pro but it has yet to propagate to my acct. I will be taking this up on another end so until that happens enjoy this one grabbed from one of Bunige’s most recent updates.
A great use for armor lock:
All I have to say is: WIN.
First game of the night: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=788692&player=EmprAnimalistic
+13 in my first match of reach I can deal with that. :). The rest of the night I ended up averaging out as I tried to get the feel for each weapon. I am about to start up the game for the night but before I do I wanted to note 2 things.
1. We are thinking of doing a ustream of the beta for a day, or two, or several. Let’s see if there is interest 🙂
2. Watch out for this elite he looks angry:
Enjoy and may the bullets fly true in all of your Beta madness!

1: Off to a tourney tonight @ Wentworth Institute of Technology run by C.V.G.C. (The Competitive Video Gaming Club) 🙂 Wish me luck!
2: Guess what weekend it is?! (No I am not referring to the Reach beta. Something a bit more important;) )
I FUCKING LOVE GRIFBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Halo Reach Beta starts next monday, but the Friends and Family Beta Starts THIS WEEKEND, if you haven’t noticed from the insane amoutn of twitter traffic.
Bungie and Activision enter into potentially Faustian Deal. The Deal links the two for the next ten years, while this isn’t necessarily good/bad news, it is … interesting. We all know Halo is owned by Microsoft. That is not an issue. What is an issue are the shenanigans that happened with Infinity ward. Here’s hoping that Activision doesn’t use their sole bungie publisher power for evil. NOTE: Helping Bungie towards world domination does not constitute as evil. Gamepro has an article showing some reactions to this news: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/215016/tell-us-how-you-really-feel-activision-bungie/ (featuring a tweet from yours truly:) )
OMG HALO REACH…
 Lastly I want to leave you with some people I am jealous of and must say are going in my book as micro heroes: http://gizmodo.com/5526334/halo-2-superfans-refuse-to-let-the-dream-die
Anyone who can keep Halo 2 online for that long with an original XBOX deserves Credit. I SALUTE YOU!

This is a multiupdate frankly because I enjoyed the headline for it :P.
Halo 2 it was sad to see you go, but it was pure epic to see some people hold out for days due to maintaining connection to Bungie’s servers. You showed them you would not give up so easily. They said shut it down and you (to paraphrase the arbiter) responded with “Were it so easy…”. I was able to fit in a solid 9 hours and end at about 4 E.S.T., and only a 20 minute break. 🙂 One downside:Â X != reload especially not in Halo 3 Team swat while staring down the barrel of a BR
Halo Reach: I’m not sure if I could be more excited about Halo Reach. The new game types seem AWESOME (invasion 🙂 ). The armor enhancements intriguing, and special editions DO WANT. 😀
Halo 3: What else is there to say. No speculations since it is the current, no breaking news since it seems to be staying for a while. So what else can I say other than…..
Zombies!!!
Have fun hiding from the living dead this Double exp 🙂

End of Pax East day 2
After what was described in my previous post I attended the event Adam Sessler and Hal Halpin talking games. This panel mainly consisted of discussions surrounding the industry, DMCA, piracy, and the ECA (Entertainment Consumers Association) Overall extremely interesting, and it was nice to see a non X play side of Sessler.
After all this I wandered around and stumbled across something awesome 16 player random map/game of Halo :), and I must say the enforcer in charge picked some great games one of the greats was NinjaBall with Hammers and Bruteshots. While playing I even ran into some old buddies to join me. My handle on the first box I was on was bacon therefore instead of death from above the battlecry was ITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BACONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Very amusing:P
Day 3:
10:00 AM: Alien ware event. Beat their new portal level, receive(virtual) cake! and enter into a competiton. WIN!
10:30->11:30 Wander Expo receive autographs from all of Rooster Teeth:) (and a picture!)
11:30: Food
12:00-> Wait for XPLAY!
1:00 Have a blast at XPLAY then Autographs:)
I must say The entire xplay crew is even cooler in person. I could see Sessler being an awesome person to hang out with,as well as Blair. Of course Morgan is quite attractive in person.
Next up head and wait for closing ceremony.
OMEGATHON!: I have one thing to say. Team 2 sucked at mario, and contra.
The rest of closing was about 5 minutes!
PAX = WIN
Next for PHOTOS!!! Then more about the disappearing Elephant
~SPOSpartan104
PAX Was absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a better first Convention
So rather than bore you all with the details that you have been hearing from everywhere I’ll give a quick recap:)
On Saturday I spent a load of time in the Expo Center spending money Woohoo ! 🙂 (<$100 but well spent!)
(finally own all of the RVB dvds)
However on the way to the expo hall and other events we (myself and my group) found a line to get autographs from none other than WIL WHEATON!
The wait was about 1.5hours but the signature was acquired! I even got an autograph:)! (Pictures to be posted later. Need to get them from a friend’s camera)
There were more autographs received today but those will be getting their own post;) )
Next: Major Nelson’s Podcast!!
Hilarious! So much bickering :P. Everyone received avatar hoodies (Luckily I had mine a day early from thursday!) A couple other hoodies were given out, and Major Nelson even gave his hoodie to this little boy who could not have been more excited. The boy had been born with a birth defect and was allowed to be in public only recently, so this could not be more awesome.
After this it was food time. Mmmm Burito.
Next Part 2: Adam Sessler and HALO !(ITZ BACON!)
Enjoy,
