Mew loved the update this week!!

Sorry this post is so short, but I've got to run along because my Cat is trying to drop my Xbox out of my bedroom window!

Who is Mew you ask?
Why only the best band in the world!

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

YO YO MA !

Wow. The excuses for cheating are getting more and more absurd, aren't they? I still don't think the "My seven year old son modded my Xbox" excuse will ever be topped.

P.S. I'm 13, can spell correctly, AND use proper grammar. That kid is just an idiot.

This should be fun, and don't worry, we fully expect some terrible, terrible game types, including Tower of Power (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!)


Thank you Frankie, I've been waiting for someone to say that.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

I also like how that kid tried to imitate his mother. If that really was his mother, she must have never finished Middle School because I know 6th graders who can spell better than that. Also, to the 13-year-old-who-can't-spell-because-of-his-age, my younger sister is twelve (and I will admit, not exactly the best student) and she spells way better than that.

I've lost all hope in the future, Frankie, and something tells me that Bungie has too. Or at least...Mommy needs to stop buying Tommy "M" Rated games or...Teach him how to spell; whichever is more convenient.

Now for the grammatically incorrect version, for everyone’s viewing pleasure:

--
ive lost all hope in t3h futire, Frankee, and sumthin tells me taht Bungeee has two, Or at lest Mummee neds to stop bying Tommee "M" Reted gamse or Tech him how to spill, Witchevir is more convinent
--

I had a kick attempting to try to fit back into the mind of a twelve year old who can’t spell, notice the bad punctuation and lack of grammar or use of spell check? I’m glad I paid attention in school, guys.

***

also if u can't spell you should be banned for that straight up and down

Stop typing please; you are no better.

Had anyone else had issues with getting booted from nearly all matchmaking games lately? I have a feeling that all of the storms have messed up my Cable connection; hopefully I'm wrong.

  • 06.30.2006 6:45 PM PDT

It's just a game folks.

I thoroughly hope that they keep all the accounts that have been banned, banned for good. This would most certainly teach each and every 13 year old that felt like cheating that it just doesn't pay (well it does, it costs $50 to cheat, at the very least!!). Keep up the Wambulence. Its a great way to cap off a friday with a little laughter at the expense of cheaters! Cheers!

thank you

p.s. sorry i cant spell im only 13


Thats is the funniest thing I have ever read on this site. Im 16, but when i was 13, No way I couldn't spell gamer-gammer or got-gat. I honestly think he grew up without school. Really. No doubt in my mind. I hope he's 1 of a kind because if not, this country is going...down down down. Perhaps maybe when people are 18 (some day) they will spell like that. I hope not

it costs $50 to cheat, at the very least!!

Two Month subscriptions are free, but yes, it's a waste. And for now the free 1mo gold accounts can't really be abused by malicious modders, as the chips out aren't cost effective, just yet. Give it a couple years.

But this is just another example of a few bad eggs ruining it for everyone else, though I am fairly proud of Bungie for staying on top of the issue instead of ignoring it or flat out denying that it happens.

Man, i check this site all the time just waiting to see more of the waaaaaambulance. keep up the awesome work. Oh, slight suggestion, delete everybody's account lvls 44 and higher. we're not stupid, we all know it's pretty much impossible to get even close to that high without cheating.

About that 13 year old kid who can't spell:

If his xbox was broken and he bought a used one because he couldn't afford a new xbox, how did he manage to get his hands on an xbox 360 so quickly?

This is my favorite update, second only to the H3 announcement. The guy who pleaded in Caps, damn, I couldn't even concentrate on his letter; it was so hard to read.

I love the waaahmbulance installments. Keep 'em coming Frankie!

Also good to know how the Halo 3 AI is doing. Hoping to see a demo trailer in a few months.

Wish there was more stuff on Halo 3 though. :(

Settle. Down.

Just forget about it for now, bungie would do you no favours by giving you something new every time you asked for it.

Fight the Raging Battles

HOLY COW!! I absolutely love those whining letters! I need to open a school that teaches spelling, spelling, and more spelling!!!!

And since I teach 13-15 year olds I felt compelled to answer this question:

“Well, at least you apologized for that spelling. Is this typical spelling for a 13-yeard old? Folks?”

No, it’s not typical unless they are in special education or NEED it!!
