The Official Off-topic Thread 7

Finally done exams and completed this school year. Looking to improve as a student and person over summer.

So one more year until I’m out of high school. That thought is relieving, but also quite unnerving. A good number of you are in post-secondary education and years older than me, yes this is a Halo forum but there are experienced and great people, may I ask how you chose what you wanted as a career?

> I’m playing for the conservatory next Thursday and tonight is my final chance to study up with my music teacher and then tomorrow practicing the crap out of it (again!)

I would wish you luck but I’m sure you will do great!

> Austin, I want your opinion on something…Lets say H5G is how you want it to be BUT in every gametype there is a BR start or a CC start…would you be okay with that?

I can just see snickerdoodles reaction to BR starts in her Grifball :wink:

Quick clarification on your question- do you mean Carbine and BR starts (everyone starts with a BR or Carbine) or just universal BR starts and/or universal Carbine starts.

> Looking to improve as a student and person over summer.

Every student says that :stuck_out_tongue:

Well done on your exams none the less, I’m sure you have done well.

God -Yoink!-, this is the 3rd time Microsoft takes my money without giving me what i want.

First it took away 15 euros from me without giving me the DLC i bought.

Then it took away 20 euros from me and didn’t give me 3 months of Xbox live Gold

And now it took 7 euros from me without giving me 1 month of Xbox Live gold!

Thank you! Haha well of course every student says that but it’s not that hard to improve as a student, anyways here’s to hoping. Willpower is something that I control.

Would like to play Halo but I’m out of Gold again. Got a Trial that I’m saving up for a possible playdate…

Either one BR or CC would be cool…but BR and CC could be great too!

No, I like variety. I actually enjoy AR starts where you have to find BRs as well. I wouldn’t want the ENTIRE game to be BR starts while I do love them.

In other news, I just found out I have the 4th of July weekend off which means its time to throw a huge party. Already spent $70 on a super ridiculous outfit. Everything I will be wearing will be related to america. I love being ridiculous.

Well, I began playing as well as composing my own music, which I will be using in fan films as well as my Halo Machinima: War of the Spartans. So if ya guys want, feel free to check it out: Soundcloud - Nick Rojas

They are in its early stages, but I plan on doing an "electronic version to the Halo theme, so stay tuned, :D.

Anyhow, how’s it going folks…seems lack of activity for the past 2 hours, so might as well change that.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas on Steam for $2.50 each. Looks like I know what I’m playing this Summer.

Torchlight is free on GoG for the next hour or two. You have to go on the homepage and scroll down until you find it.

Now that you guys said that…Super Street Fight IV: Arcade Edition Free on Gold.

Very interesting stuff, good work. However, I will criticize because to me, each piece sounds very random and a bit all over the place without a real base or clear goal of what it’s trying to achieve. My opinion, but otherwise, I dig.

What program(s) are you using?

Has anyone here watched Edge of Tomorrow? Looks like a great film.

Also I have cleared some room on my Xbox friends list so send me a friend request if you’re ever down for some Halo!

Yeah the Edge of Tomorrow is a great film, though if you want the full experience, you really should watch it in 3D.

I can’t believe that i was capable of starting a 125+ comment chain in Youtube by just saying 3 words.

I guess certain fanboys act like drones whenever someone doesn’t like their idol.

To be fair, it doesn’t take much to start a pointless argument on YouTube. Still, small victories.

Where’s the DMR love? The rifle that should rival or even beat the worn out BR?

BR over DMR Everyday.

You’ve awoken the hive.

Torchlight is AMAZING!

Red Faction is cheap and so is Assassins Creed. Tempting, except Assassins Creed is the best example of Ubisoft’s worse.

Agreed. I love BRs.
