Truly tasteless...

Did everyone miss the admission by Shishka that he likes Kha'ak?

Shishka asks,

If a Kha'ak jumped on your back, would you beat it off?


If you're referring to the Kha'ak species from the sci-fi combat game X3, then the answer is no, since they are only ever encountered in space combat situations. However, since you plainly haven't gotten that far in the game, it is obvious that you suck at the Kha'ak.

Or did I read too much into this passage?

I never knew that about the date in Jenkins helmet before, but that's my birthday! MAY 27 !!!
Anyway, I would also really like an RC hog, A military one with a removable turret that is either big enough to fit the big figures or only a little smaller that comes with a fitting figures. Maybe even the original Civilian Hog, but not limited edition

I'd have to say Oblivion. And since my local game store is sold out of 'em, I can't tell you why. But I can tell you everyone here is playing it and ruining the story for me.

I feel your pain, Frankie. I feel your pain.

Why can't bungie announce that they are actually going to have some videos or whatever for e3? most people know that halo 3 is coming out winter of this year, so how come they can't even announce the title? When halo 2 was coming out, they had lots of promotional stuff MONTHS before it came out. It was more than a year! PLEASE BUNGIE! At least ADMIT your next project.

This is crap with respect. Why don't you tell us something about actually Halo 2 on microsoft -blam!-s windows vista. Sorry for the foul language but I am really pissed at Microsoft for being so freaking -blam!-. Bill gates is the one who should be fired not the people who make vista for delaying it. What you should do is give away a free copy of windows vista beta 1 with Halo 2 so people don't freak out about uprading to vista freak out when halo 2 comes. BEcause let me tell ya all. This is not going to be like the Halo 2 for Xbox Because of -blam!--blam!- microsoft. All i feel like doing right now is punching -blam!--blam!- peter moore in his ugly ass face. And when i am done, This is not going to be a hit like the original was because of some -blam!- ass billion dollar company called "MICROSOFT". People are actually ready to start a srtike so you all can make it vista compatible. anyways, my questions,

When will the halo 2 go RTM? you should know what that means
When will it release to public? i am thinking in 2007 because of microsoft's win vista
When will halo 3 release for xbox 360?

If you don answer there then you are just like microsoft. Now, I don't want to insult bungie because my dream has been to work for bungie but if you all drop that low level of respect for community than i guess you suck. Plus , I used to be a fan of bungie since this Vista with Halo 2 crap thing came out. Now i understand that you aren't power here but still microsoft will make a huge profit with this

Frankie, we know you guys must be working hard over there, but how soon will we see evidence of the law enforcement in matchmaking. If it's 2 weeks, I'll wait to play 2 weeks (or at least I'll try), a month, next year, whenever. I hopped on to play a couple rounds with a friend of mine in Texas (I live in PA), it's the only time a bunch of us get to chat and we love to play Halo. Three times in a row we faced cheaters. Two of those were just spawn killing mods. The other was some punk who had host, and'd standbye as soon as we'd get close to tieing their team. It's just getting unreal. I faced cheaters earlier today and yesterday too. Everyone just does whatever they want, it's anarchy. Why shouldn't we all start bridging to avoid getting modded. Or to actually win a round ourselves (not that I advocate cheating, I'll suicide in slayer if I know the teammates I got matched with are cheating). Is this fun? To want to enjoy a game of Halo but we sit with our ears against our xbox's to hear if it's loading a new map that we could be modded on, and try to back out quick enough? We report and we report, we send emails to h2cheats@microsoft.com, I have them on my hotmail "favorite contacts". I hope they're familiar over there by now with the Judge Dredd Cheat Report. Someone's gotta take a stand to these scum that just ruin the game for everyone else. Could one truly invite a friend to go out and buy a subscription to xbox live, just to be annoyed every other game by the time they get into level 30s. I've played a lot of games of Team Slayer (nearing 2000) and it's constant, what can we do further as a community, please comfort us with details of what you guys are doing, let us know we're not alone in this struggle. We need the bungie angel of death to come down on these bas-tards.

Thank you,
Discomfitter

p.s. please acknowledge you got this somehow, and that it's not just a needle in the haystack of mail, thank you. I know you guys are busy, but it's just getting sad at the frequency of these incidents, in more than just slayer. Skirmish, Double Team, 6on6, everywhere.

When 7 is an answer by itself, it does not need a period to follow it. You can do that with the other numbers however, just not seven.

I would actually like to start a petition where 7 comes before all other numbers and before zero (that's right two 7's). So it should be understood that seven comes before all negative numbers and then
7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 etc.

Thanks

The thought occurs that if there was promotional stuff out months before Halo 2 came out, and there is no promotional stuff for Halo 3 out now (unless you count retarded FYE), then perhaps Halo 3 is NOT coming out a few months from now. I'm sorry, but whoever you heard that date from was full of it. Every day someone comes up with a new date they think Halo 3's going to come out. And it's always someone who has no proof and no way that they should even know that. Like some 12 year old kid whose uncle or somebody supposedly works for Bungie. Yeah, right. Until I see a post from a member of the Bungie staff, it's all bull.
Anyway, why would you want it to come out that soon? Look at how long it took to make Halo 2, and that was on a platform they'd developed for before, where they already knew all the tricks. The 360's a brand new platform, plus the architecture of the hardware is totally different from the original XBox; they've got to figure everything out from scratch. If they tried to fit all the development for a new game on a new platform in to a shorter time than it took for Halo 2, the game would end up sucking. And I, for one, am not prepared to accept a crappy game just to get it sooner.
Take your time, Bungie.

If only everyone were as skilled as you, we wouldn’t need to dedicate so many resources as we do to stopping cheaters. Players that can sense when their opponent is reaching for the standby button and can then kill them to dust is the wave of the future.

I love Halo, Halo 2 and all you guys who worked on it, I even have lots of action figures on my desk and scattered around my house but.... the fake review Frankie wrote about Marty's soundtrack hit the nail on the head. Go ahead and flame me if you want.... and don't get me wrong, I love the Halo music but all that other garbage on the disc is well... garbage. (incubus etc.)
And another thing... the fact that you guys still won't admit that you’re working on a Halo game is super -blam!-ish. Like WTF. What is the big deal? You should be a company that embraces your fans and keep them somewhat in the loop. Not lie to them and only talk about soundtracks, movies, books or other petty merchandise. Honestly I love you guys...I do....Halo2 is the best game ever made... I'm just getting sick and tired of "what did I tell you about asking about our next project! I delete you!" You've turned into childish Hollywood pricks. Btw- My dad can beat up your dad.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Edit: Wet Vein.
Please do not call Bungie 'pricks.' As the only one that is in direct contact with the fan-base is Frankie, and he is more aptly described as a 'jerk.'

Did it also never cross your mind that maybe, just maybe, Bungie isn't making Halo 3 at the minute? Well, there hasn't actually been any leaking of real, validated, info about thier next game, it could be anything. Bungie is a company. They like any other company want to pick the right time to announce what they are working on. MS, for example, had been working on the Xbox 360 since 2003. But we didn't get anything about it until 2004. We didn't even know the NAME that everyone would be calling it for 5 plus years until 2005.

And finally, since you say you already like Halo and Halo 2, i would like to quote ODST 1125 for this final line:
Stop your -blam!-ing and just play!

Frankie:

I have a few questions about the skulls. It's been over a year since the game came out, so I think it's okay to reveal their secrets.

First off, is their a way to get the IWHBYD skull to spawn consistantly? If so, how?

Secondly, what is the exact effect of each skull? We can only speculate what certain skulls do, since it is difficult to tell just from testing. It would be much appreciated if you would make a list of each skull and their effect.

Thanks.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

Please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman (male voice: “Yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.

I rest my case.
