Serious / The news depresses me
« on: October 24, 2014, 07:36:08 PM »
Every night. Sometimes I don't want to watch it and remain oblivious to the world. Actually the more I watch it the more I feel life is meaningless. Just recently: the soldier gunned down in Canada earlier this week, the school shooting today in Washington, and of course ISIS and Ebola. Also Lindsay Graham the missing college student who was abducted and murdered by a disgraceful piece of filth. Then on my station they showed a story about two young girls that had brain tumors. One was only 16 and lost the ability to speak and had to be in a wheelchair. The other is a freshman in college, Lauren Hill, that hopes to get to play her first game soon on the basketball team.

These are just a few out of many I know, but it hurt to hear about them. I have my own problems, but none as bad as these things I see on the news. They make me feel guilty, but also extremely lucky. It is a weird sensation. But it makes very upset. I know life isn't perfect, but hearing these stories, it makes me not want to live in a world where that can happen. But I have to carry on living. That's my daily thought about how life is meaningless.

The Flood / Are sales jobs even worth it?
« on: October 24, 2014, 07:13:29 PM »
I'm getting pretty desperate for a job seeing I've had nothing for five months. I see an opening for a financial professional associate. Doesn't sound half bad. Do more research into it and read people's reviews. You have to pay them hundreds of dollars for courses and licenses exams. Then they want you to complete a project where you have to fill out a book of 200 people you know and include their marital status, hobbies, activities, occupations, etc to try and sell them insurance. And it's a job that's fully commission- there is no base salary, and involves cold-call sales. Who the hell would want to do that? Selling insurance seems like a shit job.

The Flood / Final Episode of Boardwalk Empire will air on Sunday
« on: October 24, 2014, 02:13:57 PM »
I am just curious if anyone here is a fan of the show that has been keeping up with season five. It is always a solemn feeling for me when a show you enjoy is ending. Show is on par with Game of Thrones in my opinion but doesn't seem like it has gotten the recognition it deserves over the past five years.

« on: October 24, 2014, 12:54:41 PM »
Should be an interesting watch. "The film will include never-before seen story elements and footage from Halo 2: Anniversary, part of the upcoming Halo: Master Chief Collection."

Gaming / Titanfall is getting a breath of fresh air tomorrow
« on: October 22, 2014, 10:14:46 PM »
Courtesy of a free update that essentially adds a four player co-op horde mode.This may keep me entertained for a few days. I like how if you die during the round you respawn in a dropship and circle the map while firing upon enemies. Should have been in the game upon release. Have to applaud EA for actually adding this for free.

I just remembered this from two years ago that I participated in. It broke a world record. Thought it was pretty neat. It was a one time only event and ended with 999 players. All the messages people were typing were pretty entertaining too.

Gaming / Gamertag Ideas
« on: October 19, 2014, 07:55:18 PM »
I need help coming up with a new gamertag. My current is very lame. Either something from Halo, Star Wars, or any other sci-fi that sounds witty, or a pun. The Death Star was taken to my dismay. Really would have liked You were killed by The Death Star.

The Flood / The Emperor's new...name?
« on: October 17, 2014, 02:10:08 PM »
According to someone who has read an early copy of next month's Tarkin novel has seen it on page 92 and it is...

drumroll please.



Sheev. Keep in mind this was posted on Wookiepedia, and could just be someone trolling us. Guess we'll find out on Nov.4th when Tarkin releases. Sheev Palpatine

Gaming / Some MCC Control Schemes
« on: October 17, 2014, 05:43:54 AM »
Read about them here, as well as some more new info. You can save your campaign progress in one game, start another level in another, and then come back.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/bulletins/the-halo-bulletin-assault-on-controller-settings

I'm kind of leaning towards using Universal Reclaimer across all games, as much as I want to use their respected defaults.

Gaming / PC Exclusive Maps in the MCC
« on: October 16, 2014, 11:04:00 AM »
IGN is supposed to have a video of it up, but it's not working at the moment. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/16/the-8-halo-the-master-chief-collection-maps-youve-probably-never-played-ign-first

edit- video is working now. It's going to be amazing to play these maps in matchmaking. I really hope they appear in the BTB rotation as much as better known classics. Had my fun with them on PC.

For Windows Devices and Steam...who didn't see this coming. Also I bet that Kestrel VTOL will be in Halo 5 Guardians.

Katy Perry to play Superbowl this year. She's still relevant?
http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Katy-Perry-Set-Play-Super-Bowl-Halftime-Show-67779.html
Guess I'll never have my wish of having AC/DC play it. They're basically the unofficial soundtrack of the NFL anyways with Thunderstruck and Hells Bells. I remember when the Stones played and The Who, that was pretty cool. And I also remember the horror that was the Black Eyed Peas...
