Expanding Horizons

So there has been alot of talk in the halo forums and in general about how this site is made to meet people and to play, expand your horizons.

To some extent I agree, I have met some great people on this site and enjoy talking with them on a daily basis, but in recent weeks I have stopped playing with some that I hold in high regard, part of this is my WOW addiciton (I got to level 54 this weekend, it takes forever to level at this point so I'm getting frustrated with the the whole damn thing.) 

The other part is that I like the competitive aspect of halo and specificly MLG, which puts me on the blacklist of 2o2p apparently because we are the bad kids of the site, or so I'm told.  The reason that I don't jump into parties that are off playing Team Carnage or BTS is not because I don't like gaming with you, nor is it a sign that I think I'm better than you ( as I been told once again).  Its that my enjoyment of the game comes from intense 4 vs 4 team battles, and not running around with an SMG teabagging as I go ( which Pheaks is the queen of by the way )

But what I have realized is that sometimes it takes meeting in the middle to keep things going, so I have tired to EXPAND my HORIZONS by jumping into larger parties and just playing with the 2o2p community.  And I have to admit I have found this to be highly frustrating, and chaotic; which is not all bad, and the good thing about it is that people can talk a little shit and no one gets offended or takes it seriously, which happens alot on the MLG side of the game.

So I quess the whole point is that, if I'm in a big party and I pipe up and say "hey I'm going to go play some hardcore" don't be offended, I've just reached my limit of running around with an SMG.

Kill ya later.

Go forth and continue to SUCK IT.

Our First ladder Match

So Profanity played our first ladder match:

It didnt go as well as we would have liked for the first 2 games we played a man down, 3 vs 4.  Soup couldnt make it because its kinda our motto that family comes before a game and we would rather play than give up a forfeit.  Luckily he made it about half way into the second game but we couldnt come back for the win.

Here are the links to the games:

 

Game one: Ball on lockout

Game two:  Slayer on Gemini

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=505354242&player=II%20Malice%20II

 

Game three:  KOTH Middy

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?panel=kills&gameid=505374194&player=II%20Malice%20II

 

I think we would have won if we had our full team, but all three games were well played and fun.  Good games guys.  Profanity loses 2-1

Saturday Night Tourney

Well its the first time since MLG Dallas that our team got back together and into a Tourney

We have reorganized a bit having Speedbmp join the team and it went pretty well for our first time playing together in almost 3 weeks.

Our line up now rolls as

SoupNazzi

Drost

Speedbmp

and Myself

 

We went 6-3 and our loses all came from CTF on Sanctuary, fuck that map, lol.

But more importantly the games were all close and fun.  Good times

MLG Dallas

Hey what can I say, we showed up, and played our best given the situation.

 

Highlights of my weekend

We walk into the venue to suprise suprise, timmies, everywhere. ;; I felt alien, out of place, and as Drost said I wanted to grab the closest one and beat the crap out of them for all the bad matchmaking experiences. ;; Revenge would have been sweat bliss.

 

First match, I play well, for split screen, and steal a last second kill to advance. ;; After that match I knew what kind of a weekend we were going to have. ;; The game play was faster than anything that I have experienced over live. ;; Including all the FFAs that Profanity and Alpha did in the weeks prior.

 

Second FFA match, and as most now know I played against Foulacy, our teacher. ;; I actually think I could have advanced past that round if it wasnt for him, he is mad skilled, and ended the match before I had a chance to catch fourth place, I think I was like 4 kills out, a smaller gap than the first one that I closed. ;; Foulacy is a stand up guy, he new my tag and before the match started he stood up from his screen and looked over at me and just smiled, bastard, lol. ;; After he finished beating all of us to a pulp he came over and shot the shit will team Profanity for several minutes. ;; He won my loyalty with that, I hope some day Str8 beats final boss.

 

Little poison is little, and absolutely destroys.

 

Beer is good

 

No one I play with is good, sorry, we are good for our age. ;; That being said thanks to my team for the experience, and thanks a bunch to Alpha for scrimmaging us almost constantly the week prior to mlg. ;; Im not saying that we couldnt beat some of those teams, we learned loads at the event and all I can say is that none of us use cover enough to make it to the fourth round of a FFA.

rrxyy is legit and not a programmable controller, I sat down next to a kid (litterally, 12) and he was doing it like it was a cake walk. ;; Interestingly he didnt do very well in his round imagine that, he focused to much on that combo and lost.

Overall a great experience and I will do it again next year if it comes back to Dallas.

Curling Ears

Picture this your six months old, just starting out in the world.  Learning the in and outs of your social interactions, whos the highest on the pecking order and making sure you leave them alone.  Learning why you and your mom run towards the sound of the truck horn.  The little things.

When all of a sudden your attacked by a vicious enemy one that you cant see or destroy without help from those of us lucky enough to be born with thumbs.  The parasite is a vicious blood sucker who crawls to your ears and attaches on your young soft tissue, injecting an anticoagulant into your ear causing a lack of blood circulation, and painful swelling that causes your ears to curl.

This is what I imagine the young calves feel each spring when the ticks come out.  And yes we hand pick the nasty ass things out of their ears, helping to heal the infection and straighten the ears.   It happens each spring, and its especially bad when we have warm winters like this year.

 

Why do I share this with you?  Because I just got done pulling hundreds of ticks out of ears, and I feel like ticks are crawling all over me (even after a shower) and wanted to share the feeling with the world.

So that little itch your feeling....

 

Suck it
