This weeks Retro game is none other then the game that brought this clan into existence and together. Halo 2 is the game of choice this week. As hard as it will be to remove the awesomeness that is Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, or your game of choice, toss in that Halo 2 disc that has been collecting dust. Journey again with Master Chief before he finishes the fight. Let’s get some down and dirty matchmaking without all of the fancy grenades, weapons and equipment. Time to get back to basics!
Join us if you wish, I’m sure there will be plenty of people playing. We will most likely run in some matchmaking games, that is if we can find people still playing out there in the internets. Otherwise, we’ll fire up some old fashioned custom games and make a fun night of it. If you miss the first event on Wednesday 6/18, don’t fret. Retro nights always come in pairs and the next one will be Sunday 6/22.
Master Chief will be expecting you. Don’t make him wait!
Look, sweetheart. You’ve got quite a collection of games there. You’ve got enough games to stock a suburban Game Stop in the summer. And you never play ‘em, do ya? They’ve been sitting on the shelf like teamsters at the Ice-Capades. How extravagant you are, throwing away games like that. Some day they may be scarce. So here’s yer chance to make it right. Twice a week were gonna give your COD4 disc a vacation and throw in one of those orphaned games. Give it a little look at the sun, you know? Some “quality time” with the middle sibling.
So here’s what yer gonna do. Every Wednesday and Sunday evening about 7:30 eastern, or so, we’re gonna play a game you haven’t played in a while. This week, we’re startin with Gears of War, so oil yer chainsaws and rosin up yer torque bows. There’s some multiplayer waitin.
Now, we’re opening up nominations for next week. If you don’t like Gears, then whistle what you do like. You know how to whistle, don’t ya? Put yer lips together, get on the forum and post.
Now what about the next week? Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do and what did you think, huh? We said no questions.
Are you a real racing game or are you a novelty racing-type game? I’m just saying that the time has come for you to come-of-age and decide if you want to do big-boy stuff or that nonsense that they show on G4 in the middle of the night. You can’t have it both ways anymore and kudos are not innovative anymore. Kudos, or hot tears of driving shame, need to be quietly laid to rest.
Bizarre, you’ve got a good thing going here; it’s a nice cross between arcade racing games like Burnout and punch-you-in-the-face games like Forza. Please, for the love of all things sweet and innocent, stop forcing me to get Kudos to advance in the so-called career mode. Oh, and by the way, your calendar of events blows.
Sure, you could play some lame ass paintball at CMIX. Or, you could hang with the cool kids and play HALO LAZER TAG! Yes, it’s so cool it’s spelled LAZER. Newegg has the plasma rifle and Amazon has the plasma pistol. For only 200 bones you could sort-of n00b combo people. Sort-of, I guess.
This awesome shirt is newly available over at J!nx. And guess what, we’re now a J!nx affiliate, so you can buy up some sweet threads and the clan gets a decent little kickback. So head on over there and pick up the Flood Insurance and Bioshocker shirts and be happy knowing that the clan account is a little more in the black.
Thanks to Hawty McBloggy who found this video. It’s long at 9 minutes, but there are 3 or 4 really funny parts, especially the color blind joke. Some funnier parts are towards the end, so hang in there. NSFW!
“Hi, my gamertag is bs angel. I have a real name but it’s been so long since I have heard it, I don’t remember what it is anymore. Some of my favorite activities are : taking long walks on the beaches of Valhalla, tending to my garden and caring for my pinatas, and playing nice long games of “draw until you can play” Kameo-themed Uno. I prefer stickies over frags. Shotties over maulers. Pull-offs over hammer-ons. Interested applicants should know split screen will never be an option. Anybody who is unable to play on expert need not apply.”
If you have been waiting for some Nintendo threads that will get you some street cred, now’s your chance. You can pay more than double what some shirts are worth now over at Torrel Torrel. Bonus for those who are interested: the site looks like a lame joomla template and has hideous graphics. Apparently these shirts are supposed to have urban appeal and be awesome. I am not urban, but I do consider myself and authority on awesome, and I am not convinced.
Yep, it’s a funny idea. More of those humorous versions of motivational posters that they used to sell in the mall 10 years ago, only now with Halo 3 screenshots.
The only problem is that they all suck. That, and they don’t host their own images (!). Anyway, I am sure someone will think it’s funny.
