Posted by: SonicJohnI know what you mean. I'll always appreciate Helveck's contribution of that meticulously pieced together star map for Destiny. What a great guy.Well, therein lies the humour.
It was ncsuDuncan who pieced together the base map for that to begin with, not Helveck, though he did improve it by quite a bit. I'm rather jelly I didn't think of doing it.: /
That was a poor joke. I had thought Helveck had nothing to do with the project (I just picked a name at random) and you had contributed a substantial amount. Whoops.Hahah. Irony.
I was joking too ;)
Anyway, here's my shortlist:
*Predicting Destiny based on ODST and Reach
* The Destiny Map
* The three Bungie Community podcasts that ever existed before internal affairs broke down (we were on iTunes, too!).
* A bunch of Community Carnages before they were disallowed.
* The Ultimate Egg ("TUE") - I'd post the original but as you'll learn in some of these threads, my 550+ page thread was deleted after "the" hack; so here's some varied hilarity instead - #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 (lolwut) #6, #7, #8 #9, #10 "SonicJohn Got The Skulls Poop--AND SOON", #11 (man, I forgot how upset people got about this), #12, #13, #14, #15 "Quote Archive", #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28 (A poll about me), #29 (also known as the best thread in existence), #30, #31 (apparently it infected my personal life...also man, I sound like a child in this thread), #32, #33...
...and that's just in the Halo 2 Forum. There's still a bunch to be found in the Halo 3 forum.
* My crazy pre-Sandbox-release theory about what the map was originally teased to be - I was pretty spot on.
* My theory on what would become "Cold Storage" - Again, pretty spot-on.
*Project L.A.S.O. - Legendary All Skulls On - Riding on the backend of my TUE fallout (and my adventures doing Halo 2 LASO), I knew I was going to be tackling Halo 3's Legendary with every single skull. I coined the term way back then, and then my efforts were put to the side by The Tyrant's (a name which always amused me as being fitting), who tried so hard to get rid of me from having started the craze that he changed the name to "Mythic" (Which still doesn't make any sense to me since it's already a Skull name and difficulty) and told me over the PM system that he'd refuse to include me in the thread's credits. Hard tiems on le internests. I'm still very happy to know that Bungie used the term "LASO" in Halo Reach for some weekly challenges. I know it sounds silly, but it's still really cool that something I did eventually made it into Bungie's final Halo game.
* My $0.02 about what makes a Halo game "good".
* And I helped with CAVX's original Coup d'Bungie in the early days; building a "Master Sheet" of everyone's Coups. Since in the beginning you could only do your own local profile appearance. So I guess you can say I was one of the early pioneers of Coup too :)
In related news, I went to the doctor's this morning and they told me I was exhibiting signs of obsessive behaviour. Totally not evident in my time spent here at all!
Edit: So, a lot of that was just me going through my Saved Threads to find anything thinly relevant to this thread. Some of it might just be me ego-stroking, so do ignore it if it is.
