This breaks the straw! I’m not going back to those forums…

Prop Hunt is hilarious to watch. I really need to get this game.

What? Are you actually surprised? This place has killed my enjoyment of this franchise.

Visit /v/ and mention Halo.

After that, you will most likely hate Halo forever.
God damm /v/

Anyway, since we have been talking about Bioshock Infinite lately, and it has received some negative feedback here, i decided to see what the rest of the internet actually thought about Infinite.

It was not fun to read what people had said about it…

> This breaks the straw! I’m not going back to those forums…

You just made the mistake of getting into a “wall of text” war with someone. Every time I do that I can never win the argument because its so long I contradict myself.

Anyone interested in free Halo related props and clothing for their Xbox Live Avatar? Section 3 have quite the surplus…

Always! As long as I don’t already have it.

Happy Friday everyone!

Fixed.

Good thing classes ended for me a month ago for some but the last day of school/graduation is around the corner (next friday for schools around here).

Hey everyone, what’s going on today? The holiday list is short as it was yesterday. The holidays for May 30 are as follows:

Loomis Day
My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It Day
Water a Flower Day

That’s it. I find the second holiday to be rather…comical.

BTW, does anyone know if there’s a way for me to find the Achievement Horse maps easily, outside of searching for the map makers?

> Anyone interested in free Halo related props and clothing for their Xbox Live Avatar? Section 3 have quite the surplus…

I am.

so if your interested in science I hope you enjoy these facts. spent a lot of time yesterday figuring these out.

1 Au = distance between earth and the sun

1 Au per second = 223x the speed of light.

The speed of light equals = 670 616 629.38 miles per hour.

Time to travel to alpha centuri.(closest star 4 light years away from earth) at 1 Au per second: 2.92 days
time to travel to kepler 186f (earth cousin 500 light years away from earth) at 1 Au per second: 365 days = .998 years
time to travel across the milky way (100,000 light years across) at 1 Au per second: 199.976 earth years.
time to travel across the universe (45.7 billion light years across (estimated) (observable) (paused) (theoretical)) at 1 Au per second: 91,339,390.915326 years.

Worm hole theory outweighs the 1 Au per second theory by away shorter amount of time to travel. (worm hole theory observable in Star trek(warp speed) Star Wars(hyperspace) Halo(slipspace) ect…)

With current technology:
Time to travel to mars( rover lander): 6-6.5 months
Time to travel to mars( humans aboard): 8-9 months (pending orbit schedules)
Time to travel 1 light year: 83,036 years
Time to travel to alpha centuri: 252,288 years. Time it took the Apollo 11 mission to reach the moon: 4 days
Speed of Helios II (Fastest man made vehicle): 252,792 km per hour (relative to the speed of the sun)

I tryed reading A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking thought it was a hard read.if you haven’t read it ProximateXBOX you should that’s if you haven’t read it already.

The wall of text war is still going on. Even though Cyanades said he wasn’t going back.

“My bucket’s got a hole in it day”???

Oh no! How am I suppose to bring water to my flowers if there is a hole in my bucket!? This is an outrage!

As for the maps, people may have links to horse maps if you search them on Youtube. They would be in the description.

Ooooooo! I like free stuff. :smiley:

Just a nice reminder to change your PM settings to “Receive Private Messages from All Users” rather than "Receive Private Messages from Buddies ".

The amount of times I’ve received a PM and I haven’t been able to reply because of this setting is way too high.

Doesn’t help everyone was forced to Buddies Only back in November 2012 with no notification of it.

:confused:

I always keep it in Buddies only, if I ever want to talk to anyone in PM it’s only people in my buddies list

Fine by me, it’s for the fact that a LOT of people don’t even know about this setting, send a PM and wonder why the person never responds.

By the time I’ve sent someone a buddy request and they’ve accepted it, I’ve usually forgotten all about it.

If you’ve ever sent someone a PM and wondered why you’ve never gotten a response, that’s probably why.

Glad that you mentioned that. I had no idea the default was set to buddies only.

Is anyone else having issues with YouTube today?
