Don't you love it when giant cooperations decide to stick their 40 inch dildos right up into your ass? Well I love it too.

If you put everything they just said, and think about it for a second, many many many things that are being put into effect right now are just about to be waisted. Mainly for machinima, Bridge CE, and Scythopolis. An entire series that one of my favorite producers has been canceled because of Microsoft, and this threatens what I have in the works, which a select few of you may know about. I'm not going to bother explaining this crap to people, as if you care, you should be able to interpret this yourself. I know most people here are not going to obey this (myself included), but just for another reason to hate microsoft, I just thought what the hell.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Um... you linked to the H2V topic. :/

I know what you are talking about, though.

Copy, paste, change a word and a phrase. Doesn't seem all that difficult to me. Or was it the 'don't make -blam!- with it' rule that got you?

There were flashes of gunfire...everywhere he looked there was nothing but destruction. An explosion went off to his right, showering him with ground dirt and shrapnel. He was knocked down to his feet by another explosion merely a few feet behind him. As he lay on the ground admist the chaos, screams echoed over his comsat in his helmet, but they seemed distant now. Everything did at this exact moment. The explosions, the blood-curling screams of Marines and Brutes locked in a struggling battle--it all seemed like a haze of struggle between his perception in reality. But then he heard her voice.

"Chief..."

And then again.

"Chef! Wake up!"

John Spartan was abruptly woken by a swift kick in the gonads in his sleep. He cringed in pain, clutched his wedding tackles, and turned in anguish to the attacker. It was his lieutenant, Cortana Autumn.

"Wake up you sorry excuse for a soldier. We're moving out at 0600 to Earth for the ceremony!"

As she went by his bunk, she rudely awoke others, and as John's testicles healed, he remembered what his dream was about. Oh, if he really could be a Spartan. If he really could save the world from a fictitous alien race! But he quickly shook it off.

"I have to stop playing so much Starcraft," John told himself, and got out of his bunk. It would be his duty, after all, to prepare the food for the ceremony back on Earth. Such was the niche of a cook in the corp.

I never knew you was an emotional speaker Agamemnon. *tear*
But in all seriousness, that would be so funny if that was how Halo 3 ended. (Said, because if by some small chance it did, I would fall over laughing.)

I didn't really put much effort into it. I'm not into fanfic anyways; I write my own content. Was just using it as an example. ; )

The point is Microsoft will soon fall if they keep doing things like this. They forgot the first rule, the customer is always right.

Perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect. You took everything in my head and put it down on paper (or word, same thing). The game isn't horrible from my point of view, but you can recognize the fact that it got little or no polish, nor did Microsoft have any intention of actually making a good game, they had the intention of making money off of ignorant kids who easily give into those marketing schemes. The only reason I actually own the game is because I spent nearly 4 months writing a 98 page script based around it (started it back before I knew the game would suck). Once again Agy, you took the words out of everyones mouth with an IQ over that of 10.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Everyone is going to keep buying Microsoft stuff no matter what they do, so why even discuss this if you aren't going to take action?

Eh, I've always been iffy about actually voicing my opinion, but you're not the first to like what I've written, so I might keep this up.

Not me. I've been sailing the seven seas for quite some time now, especially when it comes the North American Trade Company.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Wow, Agamemnon, I love the way you write. Your blogspots are the most pure words I have ever read about the fact Bungie is just Microsoft's marketing whore. You get my eternal thanks. I could had not even vented about it for how confused I was. I was, in fact, angry and just frustrated at the cheap and identical port Halo 2 Vista was. God, just like you said, it has 'Press X to mount Warthog'. Agamemnon is the best user in the whole Bungie mother-blam!- net.

Basically if we have the "record sound" option in Fraps turned on, Microsoft will sue us. Wow.

Nobody is going to abide by this. I, personally, will find no problem recording for a Halo 3 montage with the sound on.

And as for recording with Halo PC with sound: If Microsoft doesn't care enough about its customers to update the game or to pressure Gearbox to update the game, why should we care enough about Microsoft to abide by these terms and turn the sound off?

Oh, you've got nothing on this!

Your BlogSpot is quite epic, Agamemnon. I couldn't agree more. I'm no Halo fan boy, and I know it's over rated, but hey, I already pre-ordered Halo 3: Legendary Edition. :)
