I'm pretty sure it also doesn't know how I work, so it's a very understanding relationship we have :)
Haha. Congrats SJ! I enjoyed reading that =D. Anyways, Question #2 is it? Does your dad or little bro have an account? Like SJ Sr. and SJ Jr.? lol
Hah, thanksies.

Also, I'm sure my dad and brother would be happy to play with folk. "The more, the better the Carnage" as we normally put it.

Dad (he works abroad and isn't on that often):kendo65Brother (careful, he's 11, the loud, defensive sort of 11):Metalog

Say hai to Metalog for me...I'm sure he'll run upstairs shortly asking "Who are all these people?"

Hey Sonic John,

I was just wondering, are you making much progress on finding TUE?
TUE, or The Ultimate Egg, was unfortunately abandoned during the Summer of 2007. The thread that I had created a year or two previous to that, was deleted by a hacker, and thus all of the progress was lost. We had a few documents archived in a few groups, but even some of those were deleted.

TUE, in my mind, never had a physical representation. There were theories as to what it was; a new map, an alternative ending (to compensate for the rather abrupt ending that was already there), a Skull-Menu for ease of access, etc...you know, the usual suspects

In truth - and this will sound somewhat cheesy - the search for TUE, or the Mystery of the Gate, was originally just an effort to concentrate the Halo 2 forum-goers, you know, give them something better to do than ask about where the Golden Warthog is, or what is really behind the "gate" on Coagulation. I think the true Ultimate Egg (here comes the cheesy part) was actually finding the true Community that lay underneath our efforts.

Once the thread was stripped from us, we were left with only ourselves, and a more mature sense of mind. The majority of us stuck together, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people who took part in that search can safely say that they made a lot of friends throughout it.

Here's the original start of the thread (just found it in one of my forums):

I feel that there's not enough searching for the Skulls going down. It's been ages since we discovered the original "Blind" Skull. We really ought to figure out the whole Acronym theory. Bungie (I'm sure of it) have already confirmed that the letters "EGATFIBGBCSIMAW" in a certain order do, in fact, unlock something subtle. And as we're getting closer to Halo 3 I propose a challenge for all of you "hardcore" and "casual" Halo 2 gamers out there :D.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge is to completely figure out the whole Skull deal. It's been too long. Be it manual searching - "Trial & Error" - or any alternative method.

We basically attempted various collection-orders of Skulls, and searched to see if anything happened.

One method that I came up with was something I referred to as "Skull-Dash", which was basically collecting every single Skull in a particular order (referring to the acronym), and then completing every level in order with them all activated. To my memory, only I ever completed this task. It took about 28 hours if I remember correctly...Tartatus alone taking 5 hours. Unfortunately, nothing new was unlocked.

That's when I decided that if there were ever Skulls in Halo 3, I would definitely tackle the challenge once again, but this time make it more Community-based, and actually record my efforts.

Was John not supposed to tell anybody he was going to do this spotlight before he did?
Good thing I told you after we did the interview then ;)

*Phew* Long post I know, but hopefully that'll clear some things up :)

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Nice work getting on the blog.

Dangit.

Oh well, my friends will still be all like "omg u were right about SonicJohn on bungie blog!!!!"

I never even knew anything at all about the skulls or TUE up until now. Thanks for enlightening me.

these ghastly whispers inside?

You've died in my stories before John. I just haven't shared it with you. Thus being that it's not written down. I sometimes write the story out mentally before I actually write/type it out. I do this because it helps reduce the amount of errors/misconceptions/just plain bad thoughts in it. This story wasn't good enough to write down. ;P

Also, I'm thinking about writing my hectic story of the TUE hunt down sometime. From my view only of course. God, those memories will stay with me forever. From the first day (before I even signed up) of looking through the thread, to the deletion of the thread, the huge war that ensued, and the birth of what we do now. I will never forget it. I'll also not forget that Ashy Larry guy either...my first ban was because of him... Let's just say I was a bit ignorant back in those days.

John, if you really do want to die in my stories, just say so! Tell me how/when/why/where you want to die, and I'll try to get it done ASAP for ya. ;) Lol.

Fantasying about me dying? Shame on you. Share it next time. ;)Also, I'm thinking about writing my hectic story of the TUE hunt down sometime. From my view only of course.

From the first day (before I even signed up) of looking through the thread, to the deletion of the thread, the huge war that ensued, and the birth of what we do now. I will never forget it.You should talk to MightyDuckK about that, he was thinking of doing just that, but making it a bit more abstract and publishing it as an actual novel. I think it'd be a great read.John, if you really do want to die in my stories, just say so! Tell me how/when/why/where you want to die, and I'll try to get it done ASAP for ya. ;) Lol.

I wouldn't mind doing an interview...
that being said, if we're internet-twinsies, wouldn't our interviews be essentially the same?

Essentially, yes, except that you'd be the older twin, by 2 years.

I'm sure there's a story in there somewhere.

I can't let it go, I'm trying to talk to you but for some reason you can't hear me due to all those dicks in my mouth.

Well Sonic, all I can say is: I wish my dad were as cool as yours. My dad hates video games.

My dad tends to just enjoy letting loose on people in-game. It's much healthier that way :P
As long as your dad respects you playing them, then there's no problem...if he doesn't like you playing, then show him the community aspect to the games (for example, Bnet, and all the memories you've had with people from here); he'll soon understand.
