Title: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: The Sceneman on September 24, 2007, 07:59:01 PM: Theres a radio station truck pumping loud pop-rock, some dude with a microphone talking loudly about Halo, weird X360 banners all over the place and one giant block of ice which Im not sure what its for. They are doing some sort of weird carnival water gun style game for prizes. The dude at the desk next to me won a copy of Halo 3, and some girl won a 42" LCD TV. Apparently the 1st person to buy a copy of Halo 3 at the midnight launch was a girl... according to microphone guy.

I feel weird now and I dont want to go outside for a while

Can't wait, that hype I wasn't feeling? It's at max right now. Like raging morning wood.

Post by: The Sceneman on September 24, 2007, 08:27:09 PM: The Halo thing just finished I was gonna have a go but all the prizes were already gone and they only had Halo sweatshirts left, and I didnt want one of those. I wanted to win a 360 dammit
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 24, 2007, 08:43:02 PM: I'm actually excited for Halo 3 now. I've been playing some of the original Halo, and it's weird how you go back and play games you haven't played in a long while and certain areas seem new to you. I want to finish the fight now, and see Master Chief dry hump a hologram.

I'm going to sleep like a normal person today and pick up my copy on wednesday.

Why not Tuesday? Today is Monday.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 24, 2007, 08:46:22 PM: Are you going to stop playing Halo long enough to try out your new Wagglebox, demi?
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: demi on September 24, 2007, 08:48:04 PM: Fo sho, I am still waiting for my check - they send it through the mail, should be here soon

I actually played a PS2 game to practice, see how long I could take without gamerscore
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: CajoleJuice on September 24, 2007, 08:48:34 PM: I got the email from Best Buy saying my copy will be ready to pick up tomorrow. I'll just get it on the way home from work. My buddy might come over for some co-op action. :rock
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 24, 2007, 08:49:01 PM: I'll play co-op Halo with you on Legendary. Be warned, I fucking suck at the Halos.
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: CajoleJuice on September 24, 2007, 08:50:22 PM: Can I switch between split-screen and online co-op on the same Campaign?

And I'm not good either, so don't worry.

My friend on the other hand...
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 24, 2007, 08:52:00 PM: I don't know, I think you can have two per 360 online at the same time. If that's what you're asking.

Demi, join us in Halo 3 Legendary co-op.
Title: Re: Theres a weird Halo 3 thing going on across the road from my office
Post by: CajoleJuice on September 24, 2007, 08:54:18 PM: I meant to ask if you could, for example, beat a few levels with a friend in split-screen, and then continue online with someone who's just as far. But being able to play online with two on one 360 negates that question.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 24, 2007, 09:00:15 PM: I'm going to play a little more Halo CE. I sort of halfway want to drive past the Gamestops and just look at the chaos (there are two within a two-block radius of where I live), but I would never go in a Gamestop at Midnight. That would be the saddest thing imaginable for a man of my age.

Demi, join us in Halo 3 Legendary co-op.

If anyone is playing Legendary co-op, I'm all ears for an invite. I think all I have to do is beat each level on Legendary, single or co-op, and I get all those delicious achievements. Then I can go back on the easier levels and do the other ones.

I'm gonna head up around 10:30-11

There's nothing else coming out this week.
