life is about doing what you want to do. or else what is the point of living? If I wanted to play Halo for the rest of my life, than so be it. I'd die knowing I did what I wanted to do.


I don't believe you.

If you are staring death in the eye, and you know that all you have, all you ever had, possibly the only chance you will ever get at ANYTHING is about to end, would you really be content with what you did with your life?

I'm presuming most people who know they are about to die will feel regret. Regret for the sights they never saw, the moments they never shared, the goals they never achieved.
Most of all, the chances they never took.

Life is not always about doing what you want to do. It is about pushing yourself as far as you can go, beyond your comfort zone. Because those are the moments when you truly feel alive. Those are the moments you will remember, and they define who you are.

Life is about discovery, and a sense of purpose.

Nothing that makes life worthwhile can be found playing a videogame.


He didnt say that applied to him though...

He said IF he wanted to do nothing but play halo for the rest of his life, and died doing so then he lived full life in his mind.

Clearly he doesnt feel this way, but its a valid point non the less


If he didn't feel that way, then why did he make the point in the first place?

It is impossible to get a LW 50 in 50 games by the way, even if you came in first for every one.


Keep thinking that.

I know what you are trying to say. But it still doesn't make sense.

Even if he himself does not want to play Halo for the rest of his life, he is still saying that you can live a worthwhile existence if you chose to only do that. I am saying that this is not true. Videogames are a boredom breaker, but they will never give you fulfillment, at least any kind that matters.

To you maybe, but it is hypothetically possible for someone to find pure enjoyment out of playing games all day erryday

Of course it is, I'm sure a lot of people get pure enjoyment out of playing games. That's why we play them.

But if you played Halo all day for years on end, did nothing else with your life, and then you were told you had 1 week to live, what would you do?
Continue to play Halo for your final week? Or get out of the house and do whatever you wanted, trying to fit as many experiences into that week as possible, making amends where they were needed, and more?

If anybody was put in that scenario, they would completely abandon their daily routine.

Another hypothetical situation:
Say you were born in a room with nothing but a television, an xbox 360 and Halo 3. There were no ways out of this room.
For your whole life, Halo 3 would be all you would ever know.
If you were going to die eventually, you would feel content. Because you never knew that there was anything more to life.

That is the only situation where playing a game would give your life fulfillment. But in the real world, we know that there is more to life than games, so much more.
It is human instinct to experience new things, to find self purpose. Most people will ignore these feelings and set them aside in order to live in the routines of daily life. But if they realise that they don't have long to live, their daily lives become nothing, and their instinct for fulfillment comes to the front.

Like I posted before, getting the most out of life isn't always about doing what you enjoy, it's about pushing yourself, taking the 'greater risk, greater reward' leap and testing your limits.

I'm sure that if anyone was about to die, all they would want is to think 'I made the most of it.' People don't think about it now, but when the gate comes crashing down, your perspective changes and you focus on what's really important. Playing a game would not be in that group.

Might play some tonight. I can see myself losing rank rather than gaining it. I don't think I will have the morale to continue if I lose my rank at any point :/

If only it had more BRs. I seem to do well at those gametypes.

the best strat to guardian KotH is to get the shotgun and crouch in blue room. When the hill loves there all you have to do is hold the hill for the 30 seconds its there, every time it goes there

You better be trolling me GigfourthreeCH.

Check the MM history of my turbuienc3 account (with an "i" instead of an "L"). Wayyyyy more than 50 games

  • 04.06.2011 11:41 AM PDT

I got a 40 in a day in LW. Then I didn't touch it anymore. My ranking up showed no signs of slowing down. I haven't touched it since.

It. Is. Exhausting. Mentally and physically.

Haven't run into circle-boosters yet. I had one Mexican stand-by me though. Why do Mexicans always get host? What is it about their internet? Nothing against them or anything, but I mean do they have static IPs or something? Is that it? Because their connections are always terrible. I'd rather play Australians and I'm from South-western Ontario.

Anyway I think I could get a 50 in it. It wasn't too long ago I played it. I excel on my own for some reason. Like an above poster said, some ppl just have a knack for it. Ironically I only play team games. :) I'm a terrible team-mate. But it relaxing. You can get carried. :)

Yes I realize my K/D is negative as someone is sure to point out. But I turboed my first 50 games or so because I got a Hori Pad. Don't worry I did it in Rumble Pit and LW so I didn't hurt anyone. I did it just for the novelty of it. And sometimes I just like to fool around and lose out of spite for my -blam!- team-mates. :)

By the by anyone in the market for a slightly used Hori Pad? Worst impulse buy ever. Get at me.

I got to a 41 in Lone Wolves and stopper because of Objective.

Swords on a Mexican host. No. Chance. Like I literally have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I get maybe 3 kills every time it comes up.

I like Obj. though. Do well in them.

swords on anything below host= difficult. Not host= suicide.

fixed that for ya

Anybody got any strats for swords? I always lose sword clashes. There is no way everyone I'm losing these battles with can press buttons faster than I can. Button mashing is right in my wheelhouse so I should excel at Swords. Even at the low levels, playing complete 'tards, I get totally out-classed.

I guess one thing I can do is avoid sword clashes. But other than that are there some jukes I should be doing? Is juking a big part of winning a sword battle? Bewildering my opponent maybe with some pump-fakes?

Ugh, I just don't have the patience. It's so retarded.

basic juke is just if you enocunter someone backup and let them chace you. Wait until they get too eager to kill you and got for a swing with the sword even though they're too far away. This is when you make your move and do the lunge swing (trigger) on them.

"Well if that's not you tickling my foot, then who is?"

Nooooo way. Getting 50 in anything is gonna be hard. Lone Wolves was hard for me, I still think I'm like a 46 in it. I could never get 50. If your so bored, get with the times and play Reach?(:

Lone Wolves is a hard 50 to get. I always though it would be easy to get but once you reach the 40's the competition gets harder and harder. It's time consuming too. I was doing fine in LW until Reach came out. Since then I almost never win a match do to stupid reasons like lag or caught in cross-fire. I was close (44) until I came in 3rd twice and was deranked (didnt know it was possible. Ive given up but I urge you to keep on truckin. You can do it =]

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I tried a few months back and the play-list was still being run by try-hards and boosters. Mind you being A 43 wouldn't really help.

  • 04.06.2011 11:51 PM PDT

To the peole explaining the difficulties of higher ranked games. I'm not a 1 in it. I'm a 47. With very very very few games played of Lone Wolves.

I haven't had a problem up to this point, but I'm wondering if the competition will be much harder or somewhat easier now that H3 is dying.

lw takes the longest because u cant get boosted in it but if u can make your acc really bad in evary other playlist u can boost your self in it
