"Cotton thwaps him with the Gravity Hammer, Frankie flies through the air, blood splattering from his corpse, his head snapping back on the ceiling, leaving a bloody imprint on a light fixture and then his body skitters into a gravity lift and is boosted up into the Yellow room."
i love Bungie.

Happy Birthday Marty!!

Happy Birthday. Mr. O'Donnell.

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

Cheers Marty!

My favorite is the Herb Alpert album. I don't know if Marty likes that album or if it was just picked because it was a funny shop... But I'll admit that I have some affections for that particular album myself.

Hey, I don't usually make posts, but I've noticed a wretched bug in multiplayer that seems to have arisen of late. Here it is: when a player is kicked off of a ghost, the player freezes for a few seconds. Anyone who's ever driven a ghost with deathly intensions knows that these seconds in which the player is frozen are absolutely crucial. It's your chance to say, "Hey, I don't think so, buddy," and jump right back in or stick the vehicle. Additionally, it allows the player who stole your whip to turn around and splatter you like a dummy target. So basically, when one is kicked out of a ghost, they are taken clean out of the game.

The other bug about which I'll speak is one that every player is sure to have noticed, one that's been around since the beginning. I'm speaking, of course, of the fact that grenades a player throws before dying absolutely disappear. Sure, once in awhile you'll get a "death from the grave" medal, but the overwhelming majority of times the grenade(s) will disappear.

What's even worse is that grenades with which a player sticks another even disappear! I have saved films of this occuring; one in which I stick a player with a spike grenade, which remains stuck on him for a few seconds before disappearing, and another in which I throw a sticky on a player, and it too disappears when I die.

I'm not one to start forums, but if anyone else has experienced these problem, please get the word out. I can understand the lack of a fix for the first problem, just because it's probably new, but the lack of a fix for the second problem, which has been going on for many months, just seems lazy of Bungie. They owe it to their gaming community to create the fairest gaming experience possible, and both of these bugs seriously cripple the performance of some players.

Many are the woes of the wicked,

Wow, the fan squeezes his nipples lives in my town. Boy do I feel like a redneck.

1) this thread is about Marty's birthday and not some bugs
2) the first one is not a bug, nublet. it's supposed to be and actually happens all the time, no matter what vehicle you got kicked out of. it's so you can't get your vehicle back too easily after being hijacked. the disappearing grenades suck though, and should be patched
