Subject: Who is Vidmaster? Possible ARG?

I'm sure if you've been looking around the Reach forum over the past weeks you will have come across a mysterious poster called 'Vidmaster'. Obviously this guy has posted before on the Halo 3 forum and Universe forum and caused a stir around the b.net community, but now he's more cryptic than ever.

Vidmaster: http://www.bungie.net/Account/profile.aspx?uid=5500427

His signiture is now 'Board the National Holiday from just cR 50,000 this Fall.' and he's has posted his about 5 times now in differant ways.

I don't know what this 'National Holiday' thing is, I haven't halo wikiad it yet. But i'm guessing it is to do with Vidmaster or Reach?

And is he from Bungie?

He's just trying to draw attention to himself by posting cryptic messages.

Marcus Burnett: We usually only do the chorus

well
hes not got a special avatar or background so hes probably some fat guy in his mums basement who has skin more pale than the chief

But he's posted messages about ODST in the past before ODST was even announced. Don't you think we should listen to him?

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

National Holiday was mentioned in the book Contact Harvest. it was a cruise liner that was bombed by the Insurrectionalists in 2524 over Reach. it was blown in half and disintigrated in Reach's atmosphere

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Hard to tell... I'm guessing it's just some guy being a weirdo, but some of his posts were weird. Like this one.

I don't know, that one just seems like a Bungie one. However, Bungie would've had some better grammar. Wouldn't they have spellchecked it and noticed "were" should have been "we're"? I doubt it.

So fake. Bungie does a much better job at doing "terminal talk."

Bungie, oh Bungie, oh Bungie,
Know what would really be fun, G?
I don’t wish to nag
But remake Coag,
Or die from a purple sword-lungie.

Edit: nvm

poop

Vidmaster is another word for "Video-master" look it up on halopedia

  • 11.01.2009 2:38 PM PDT

We got Jackals in the courtyard!

sounds like he could be part of the build up for halo reach. Sort of like the I Love Bees thing for Halo 2, if anyone know or remembers what that was.

  • 11.01.2009 2:43 PM PDT

He's not real. It he was real, we wouldn't be able to report his posts.

  • 11.01.2009 3:14 PM PDT

Oh...

Anyone remember Mercury SS?

  • 11.01.2009 3:21 PM PDT

Meh, who knows?

If I remember correctly, the last forum user related to a game could be identified by his green forum posts. This guy just has regular posts so I'd say its just some loser trying to get his 15 seconds of fame.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

I have yet to experience more enjoyable games that keep me coming back for more.

(Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3 and ODST and of course REACH

Why would I want to board a ship that is going to be blown up by 2 shuttles carrying explosives?

I'm sure if he was able to post anymore he'd consider apologizing for being misleading.

Then again, he had a history of bans related to spamming the forums, so probably not.

That should answer everyone's questions. Please don't make posts about individuals in the future.
