I have a similar complaint - the screen we played on in Toronto was way too dark and fuzzy -the back side of the blue base in Beaver Creek was so dark, people were shooting at the walls thinking that someone was there. Worse yet was that one of the players in each group was the colour blue by default - you can imagine what happened when he went in the blue base area.

While they didn't let us use our own controllers, they did allow us to change the controller settings to our own specifications and sensitivities - so I'm surprised to hear otherwise from the other locations.

All in all, good fun though.

Me and fifteen other people of course. I was playing for the Medicine Hat theater and I finished in second place in the national theater finals. If you were watching the final game (I'm taling about the final one, not the seim-final) you would recgonized me as "MEDHAT" somethin something, I had some random numbers behind my name.

Anyways, I get to play against the 7 other theater participants who made it to the finals and then the eight top players. I'm surprised none of the other players who played in the finals have posted anywhere about it.

I'm suposta' get a e-mail from "Jeffery" at Microsoft with the official tournament details. From finishing first in my local theater I got a Halo 2 headset and a Halo 2 strategy guide, and a t-shirt, keychain, and Mechassult 2: Lonewolf.

I'm kind of pissed off I didn't get anything for finishing second place in the national finals, I think they shoulda' had 2nd and 3rd place prizes too. I would have been happy with a year subscription - like, seriously, would it hurt that much for Micrtosoft to give aawy a year subscrition?

A few rules about canada and canadians:

1: Québec is never eligible for ANYTHING unless it is from Québec.


My new apartment has one of those old Fleur dis Lis toilets, which affords me the great joy of pissing on Quebec first thing every morning. Stupid Quebec, if you are going to force the rest of us to learn French, at least make it proper French, not your bastardized patios thus forcing me to learn French twice.


2. all the jokes about it being frozen and cold up here and us eating poutine are all :

a. true, and

b. just as great fun for us to embelish and take part in because we love attention.



Poutine sucks, and looks like it came out of an, ahss.

The four proper Canadian foodgroups are Red Meat, Red Meat, Bacon, and Beer. A perfectly balanced Canadian meal would be a steak marinated in beer and wrapped in bacon, with a deer on the side.

Cooked over wood, or lump charcoal. Gas is for sissies and makes it taste like, well, poutine.


3. the hockey lockout has infact effected our culture tremendously. one trip up here and you will see utter chaos. our economy is colapsing and we are all starving (of no hockey).


Yup. Canadians tend to be passive aggressives with long memories. The NHL will be paying for this for a while, greedy frucks.

Note: I hardly seem to be passive aggressive, but I'm the exception that proves the rule. That and I grew up a white Canadian next door to Detroit. You lose your passivity in about 1/10th of a second. Plus, you play football as well as hockey.

Mmmm. Football. Three years as a middle linebacker. The AR melee from Halo 1 sounds exactly like a quarterbacks shoulder pads snapping off. Love that crunch.
