I had my screenshot in the Bulletin and sent him a PM five months ago.

Hell, it’s not just that. About a month or two ago, I sent him a PM requesting more diverse profile pics. They did add more, but I checked and Bravo never even read my message. I’m not blaming him, he’s probably very busy, but there is a theme going on here.

Log on to Bungie.net using MS account for first time ever(3 years at least :P) to redeem preorder beta code.

Get bombarded with PMs instantly from fake accounts with spammy dating website links. Oh Internet…

That me laugh so hard I just love that film john candy so funny.

So, last time I checked, one stored things so they didn’t deteriorate.

Well, I just opened my Halo 4 box looking for the disc and it appeares to have been damaged by a mushrom or something.

And now its unreadable :frowning:

Well, at least thats an excuse to buy the GOTY edition sometime soon… Whenever I’m able to pull off some spare money again.

What about the Master Chief Collection?

Valve’s TF2 team is getting very, very lazy.

First, they added the Steam Workshop so people can create items for the game. It requires pretty much no effort on their part to add these items in, aka the developers were too lazy to come up with new items.

Now they are adding a new feature for players to create their own taunts and post them on Steam Workshop. This again shows that the devs are too lazy to even create new taunts.
And now, the devs want players to playtest their new maps, because reasons.

What’s next? Valve completely dropping the glitch/bug fixing support and just telling people to create their own fixes for all of the bugs and glitches?

I think that’s my Favorite Mel Brooks movie and that happen to be my favorite scene in the movie. Though the “Combing the desert” bit was pretty funny too.

TGIF everyone!

So from 1-10, how did your week go?

Mine was about a 7. First week back from Vacation and I got shipped to Atlanta for the day. But on the plus side I re-preordered the Limited Edition for Destiny.

Though, Now I’m trying to decide if I should finally break down and get an XB1 and re-preorder Destiny on that instead.

Got bored. Took my emblem, trace it with the pen tool to make it higher resolution and made a nifty little image. I think it turned out well.

I don’t see the problem honestly. They do the same thing for CS:GO. The community members who make the maps and weapon skins get money for them, the rest of the community gets new content every couple of months and there’s more maps to play. I thinks it’s a great way to utilize and encourage community creativity. There’s incentive and reward. Should the devs continue making they’re own things? Sure, given that most things they do will be of vastly higher quality, but why not encourage the community to be creative too?

Well? That’s awesome! Nice work.

I have nothing against Valve trying to encourage community creativity, but right now, it almost seems that Valve doesn’t want to keep updating their games, so they just let the community do their work. I can’t even remember the last time Valve added items that they created into TF2.
Every single item in the latest update was community created, and there was about 50 new items added into the game.

So we have this duck nest by a lamp post by our driveway.
All the ducks seem to have hatched… but one appeared to have hatched late (all the eggs are gone but one), and since the mother and rest of the gang had already moved on to water, that little guy was left all alone… until he (she?) hatched.

Last night, found the poor little thing cheeping (yes, baby ducks do cheep) it’s little head off under the car, then it took a bounding to the back left tire for the night.

We happen to have a small pond (and I mean small, a jagged 2ft. x 3ft) in our backyard, so this morning, we went out to get the poor quivering duckling and transfer him in a box filled with shredded paper to his new living quarters.

He’s taken to swimming in circles and zigzags across the pond, leaping in and out of the water, and pecking at the crushed up Special K we toss him.

Sniff… they grow up so fast… he is really, really cute, though.

That is good, I like to see humans help other creatures. Although it begs the question if an animal could talk like us and think like us…would we still be so nice to them?

Go on…

lol. New Godzilla Hishe. This one is pretty good. (Spoilers)

The Gipsy Danger and boat one were the best as they were actually true as-well as funny.

Indeed.

I also believed Brian Cranston should have lived longer. He died way too soon in the movie. :stuck_out_tongue:

> I googled my gamertag and got a Bungie.net thread calling me a very rude name. :frowning:

Just remembered that, also remember my respect for the user who posted that flying out the window at the same time.

The match was a success.

The guy was actually very terrible.
