Commando shoulders


What a scandal. I have a friend in the military who's a commando, and he goes nowhere without his Commando shoulder pads. Just terrible.

I keep hearing about these commando shoulder pads. I don't know what they look like because they seem to be bugged for everyone.

When job hunting a few years back, I came across a movie gallery. This particular movie gallery had a "Game Zone", which was basically half of the store walled off with glass doors and devoted to video games (go figure). When I applied for the job, a few days later I was called back and sat down in the game zone with the store manager. He asked the usual questions and a couple of video game based ones. The Irony of the situation was that I went in expecting a store manager with no video game knowledge what so ever and he expected just another teenager that wanted to work at a video game store. As the interview went on, we both realized the error of our ways. I was told there was about 10 other applicants wanting that job. He asked what I could offer that they couldn't. I started listing off my console and computer knowledge. When I said "and I'm quite good at halo" his expression changed. He preceded to let me know that HE was indeed that best and no one could best him. After a bit of quibbling back and forth, he hooked up an xbox and popped in halo. He then said "If you can beat me, you've got the job. After winning handily (25 - 5) and after a bit of profanity for the gracious loser, I was hired. A month later, they decided to make the game zone it's own store. I was promptly promoted to Game Zone Manager (Or the GZM as my name tag read). Not only did my love of halo get me a job, it got me a promotion AND increased revenue for our store. How you ask? We posted a sign out side that read "beat the boss, win a game of halo, get a free rental" at 2 dollars per person to play, they had to pay for both of us. If they won, I was about 10 dollars out of pocket. If I won the store got 4 dollars. To the day that I left the company I was undefeated. I believe it was somewhere in the five hundreds. Not counting people beaten, but matches won. I would take on 2-3 people at a time. That would only count as one win.

Thanks Halo.

go play some team spelling

Here's the funniest one but yet again, the saddest.
So, I had a my girlfriend and all, right?
Me and her has been together 9 months and stuff and it's was the best yet.
So I was on XBL playing Halo 3 and was in a social with my friends.(I know them in person, but some of them not as much.)
I was playing in Social with them, Big Team Battle, and I heard my friends talking about this girl that they had seen and that a few of them had slept with her and stuff.
I kept asking who she was in cause I knew her, and they said they had to remember her name and stuff.
Then they said that her name was Brettney, and that got me wondering because that is my girlfriends name.
I asked what she looked like, and they said she had brown hair and was medium height, and skinny.
I then relised about a week before that my girlfriend had dyed her hair from brown to blonde.
I asked if she wore glasses and they said yes.

That day, I relised my girlfriend had cheated on me with 3 of my friends.
I deleted and blocked them from my Friends list soon after that and kicked her ass to the curb.
I just find it funny that I found it out from Halo 3, and from my friends, no less.

I don't know if this is completely related to Halo but this is basically my life story.

I got the original Halo with my Xbox in middle school and fell in love with it. My mom was a band director at the school so I managed to host Halo LAN parties with 4 xboxs, lots of friends and lots of fun. (Everyone hated me with the pistol lol) Anyway that game inspired me to become a game developer. As soon as I graduated high school I new exactly where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. I went to Full Sail in Orlando, Florida and spent two years getting a Bachelor in Game Development. I was always very heavy into music and audio so I ended up searching around for an Audio Programming position. Through a little bit a luck, networking, and a loan to pay the trip I came out to 2007's GDC (Game Developer's Conference) and hooked up with THX Ltd. Once I went through the interview process I landed my first job in the business and a dream job for audio programming specialists. I am currently working at THX Ltd. as their Games Software Programmer and playing Halo 3 just about every night. It all started because Halo inspired me to do something I loved and grew up with and now I couldn't ask for a better career job or life.

:) Thanks Bungie,

Well...

I first discovered Halo when I was on the tiny Pacific island of Tuvalu. The locals frequently performed a sacrifice to someone they called "God Chief," clearly a hamming of "Master Chief." Every day, before the sun came up, the whole island held a halo tournament. The loser was deemed the sacrificial "n00b," and would be sacrificed to ensure the rising of the sun.

After having to play through about four rounds, my beginner's luck wore off, and I lost my fifth morning there. Of course, I had no intention of being sacrificed, so I bolted for the treeline. Unfortunately, Tuvalu is incredibly small. Really small. As such, I realized that I would not be able to escape for good. However, I theorized that if I could live it out until the sun came up, the tribe would realize how unnecessary the sacrifice was. At one point, I was hiding on a roof. The roof caved in and I fell into the lap of the Princess Cavalu. She fell in love with me, we had an R-rated sex scene, and then she agreed to help me out.

As we were running through the streets, hiding from alley to alley, I glanced at my watch. 7:45. Dawn was minutes away. I looked to the horizon. Where was the sun streaming over the crystal blue? Nothing there but the relentless waves, pounding at the shore as the sacrificial drums. Then I realized that there was something to their mythology--without Halo, the sun doesn't come up.

I had made a discovery, and my life was still on the line. However, I suddenly came up with an idea. I ran to their temple and stood at the top of the stairs.
"I am the n00b!" I said. "But Jubbinju (the person who defeated me) is a H4X0R!!!"

The crowd gasped and swung to look at him. Astonished, he did not reply in time, and was carted off to be sacrificed in my place. I used that day to get the hell off the island. To this day, my friends and I play halo every night to ensure the sun arises the next day.


This.

I actually had an epiphany within my first 15 minutes of playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I realized that any person under the age of 16 with access to the internet is a closed-minded, over-aggressive, vacuous imbecile that will try to convince me of their own superiority in terms of video gaming skill or life experience (or my lack thereof) when given the opportunity to communicate with total strangers while concealing their own person identity. I was also informed by a young man from England that I should be fully respectful of him because he invented the language that I speak.


Yeah same here, except about the English people part BECAUSE I don't make fun of them to begin with. But some of us Americans find their accents funny for some reason...

~~

Yeah, I have my own country. It's called Fredsylvania. Population: 3 - Me, Myself, and I. It's on one of those tiny islands that you can't find on a map, that's why you don't know where it is.

It turns out that a person in my Japanese Language class plays Halo. Kind of obvious, as her cell phone went off in class, and she has the Halo 3 theme as her ring tone.

i started playing halo 1 with my step brothers. it allowed us to bond. eventualy i moved on to the amazing halo 2, and met my best friend. currently every other day i go to his house and play halo 3. along with another friend i met. he lives 2 houses down from my friends house. thanks to halo 3 we all 3 hang out like every other day. usualy there are more of us but atleast us 3. which is good cuz i only got 3 controllers. wish i had another.
recently i met this cute girl who wants to learn how to play. so theres ur romance and friendship.
i have an idea how it will get me a job too.
i will find someone who cant handle loosing, and bet them that if i can own them at halo they have to hire me!
(p.s. i no that that wont happen.
and i am currently in controll of a sandy kingdom called "Sandtrap" i am usualy in controll there. pwning all the noobs. but occasionaly i am put into an unfair onesided match were my allies lagg out, and the team of eight generals in agaist owns me out of my thrown.
atleast till i get my iron fisted laser back. then i got a good ten kills.
TOP THAT

When my friend first got his XBOX and Halo: CE I wasn't really that much into video games. But after playing that game, I really got into them, especially the Halo franchise. Throughout my years I have met many people on Halo 2 and XBOX LIVE in general with whom I am now really good friends. My love for the Halo games has made me decide that I want to be a video game designer. I am currently a senior in high school and I applied to the Rochester Institute of Technology to be part of their game design program in which i can achieve my bachelor's and master's degrees in game design. I hear from them on January 15; hopefully I will get accepted. My credentials fit very well, so there should be no problem. In the future I will probably be producing the amazing games that people play, but even if I'm not I will be doing something that I love to do.

At my high school playing Halo pc was the greatest thing. Everybody in the school had their own profile and there were always games going on non-stop. Since I had owned Halo pc for about a year, I was obviously better than most everybody. I played under the name MechWarrior, and was unstoppable. It got to the point that I was known throughout the school for my skill. I could even hear people in the halls as I walked by saying "There's MechWarrior, he's the guy who can take out a banshee with a shotgun." One specific time a student approached me at lunch a asked me if I was MechWarrior (becuase not everyone knew my actual name), he proceeded to ask me if I could show him how to play Halo pc better. Eventually people became so annoyed by my skills that when I joined games, they shut the down, and started a new game with a lock on it.
