I haz the many maps nd skillz nd i teech u haugh 2 pleh ghem

I've played Halo 1 so many times I almost feel like I developed the damn game. In short, I've played it to death.

And yet I still play it from time to time.

I couldn't count the time I've spent playing Halo PC if I tried. Too many years of it being my main online game, and playing the SP before I was allowed online.

Not only have I played the PC port, I played pretty much every version. Even the very original Xbox version from 2001, all the way to Anniversary. I've explored every bug and every outcome and even watch the cutscenes in free cam mode so I can fly around and see how it was all done.

I've played it so many times, campaign and multiplayer for both that it's almost starting to lose it's charm for me actually. I need to be careful and not overplay it.

Halo 2 on the other hand is a different story since I haven't fully explored it. Same with Halo 3.

.

I would like to know how people are getting colored nameplates as well.

Hey wait, you have a colored nameplate though. Didn't the admin assign or approve it? That's probably the only way. That is unless you uploaded an image for your title bar in your settings. Supposedly you can do that.

Just take a minute to think about that.

....So? Who cares? Good for him/her.

Soon enough the internet will get bored of that word and use something like down-syndrome next

It's already being used on Newgrounds, at least when I was there. Both actually got used in the same sentence once on there. Even using down-syndrome as an insult is fucked up. :/

You know if people really want some clever insults, I can list better ones than misusing these words. Just PM me about it and I'll see what I can come up with.

>Implying I have a girlfriend

I am really tired of seeing that word, it is not even a clever insult, it just makes the person look stupid.

I agree with you completely.

this thread was quite autistic of you op

 

(Originally written on B.next)

Well, actually making fun of anyone is wrong really, but the internet likes to pick on autistic people more it seems.

Someone recently told me that I don't make any constructive threads. Well I'm going to try to change that with this thread.

You see, autism is one of those things that society likes to label people with it. By this I mean it's almost a way to separate what's considered normal and what isn't. Now autism itself has a spectrum. You can either have high functioning autism (formally known as aspergers) which is like a real low number on the scale depending on where that individual is since everyone is different, and you also have the one where the person is so unstable that they can't speak, or even function like an everyday person. They pretty much have more difficulty with things than others and in a way, they're almost suffering to an extent. These people may not seem to be like you or I, but that doesn't mean they don't have any emotions or how they feel towards other people. Chances are, they would be even more compassionate to others, probably even more so than you or I.



Now out in society, anyone that has any form of autism, Most people don't say anything to hurt them or make fun of them (unless it's middle or high school, but those kids are stupid they don't know that it's wrong) and people have common sense not to insult or make fun of them.



That's not the case on the internet, on here and many other websites, autism is an insult. People would write stuff like "your autism is showing" or "quit being autistic OP"



I myself have done everything I can to get used to those, but then there are the ones that no matter how much you try, they get to you, such as "You autistic piece of shit." Especially if the end users knows that the OP has autism and know that it's going to bother them.



Why are you people making fun of someone that's autistic? Seriously, what makes it okay in your book to make fun of someone that's autistic? Is it okay if I make fun of you for having ADD, ADHD or something else that a person might have that isn't considered normal to society or in a social setting? Is it okay for me to make fun of someone because they have a completely different sexual orientation or had a sex change? Is it okay for me to use the words Gay, Fag, Faggot, Fgt, The N word, etc. or heck anything for that matter whether the word is good or bad as an insult? No? Then why the fuck is it okay for some of you clowns to make fun of autistic users and/or use the word autism as an insult?!?

Bet you didn't know this, but I'm autistic. Yes, I said it. I'm probably going to get shit for it, but that's fine because I'm already considered shit to the community anyhow.

I may numb out most of the pain, but it pains me to see people isolating someone because of what they consider to have is a disadvantage. Sure some things are harder for us to do, but that doesn't mean we're any different, hell, we may even be smarter than you.

Anyone that's on this spectrum has a certain amount of it. If I were to put the spectrum on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest and most unstable, it would balance out who's far up on the top and who isn't. I'd say I'm either a 2 or 3 on the scale, which would mean that I'm not so different from any other person and if you were talking to me in person, you probably wouldn't even know unless I told you myself that I have it. Mind you I had years of therapy as a child, if I didn't I probably wouldn't be who I am when I was a teenager and who I am now as an adult. As of right now I'm still working my way to understanding sarcasm, that right there is what can give it away for me.

If you have it, you might be higher on the scale, you might be lower, and that's just the beginning, the scale itself is so complicated that even in low numbers, people may still react differently, it completely depends on that individual and what else they may have, but for the most part, people on low numbers aren't that different, hell some of these people are incredible. Look at Bill Gates for instance! Where would you be if it wasn't for him? Granted the guy's got a lot of money and has founded probably what is now one of the most evil corporations in the world, but he has so much money and has been successful with Windows and PC's that for the most part, you're using a PC to post on the forum. Now Bill Gates hasn't officially said anything about what he has or confirmed it himself for that matter, but for the most part he's most likely autistic. I'm pretty sure if he wasn't he may have not been able to pull off everything that we have and use today. Anyone that has a PC can thank Bill Gates.

So why is making fun of autistic people wrong once again? It's wrong because we're not any different from you, at least most of us aren't. Some of us are way too high on the spectrum that chances are, they wouldn't even be on this forum. And that's the truth. It all depends on the person however. We haven't done anything to cause us to get insulted by you or made fun of, so why even do it in the first place?

TL;DR Version: Don't make fun of autistic people because we're not so different from you. In fact, don't make fun of anyone, even jokingly because unless you know the person well, it might rub them the wrong way.

I was wrong.

Destiny isn't the forum on the Internet with the highest population of autistic betas.

:/

#­gaming is proof that autism is contagious

-_- Really internet? Come on people, grow the fuck up. We can't keep using this word as an insult. Would any of you actually say this kind of shit in real life right in front of an actual autistic person?

We're not so different from you, ya know.

Maybe this is just me, but I'm having a tough time taking the serious board seriously. Seems like it's the opposite.

Kind of my entire point. lol

Indeed. I almost feel like throwing "the internet is srs bsns" meme in there. XD

Let's face it. The Bungie we know and love is dead. Especially after Marty got fired. :/

*sigh*

What's wrong?

——->The joke









My head.

I fucking hate her.

Always have, always will.

She's a fucking embarrassment to all Armenians

I'm Armenian and I agree with this.

Of course, knowing them, that's never gonna happen. >.>

Yep, Bungie *coughs* Activision's butt-slave *coughs* has managed to fuck up the site for good.

At first, they were Microsoft's butt-slave. Now their ass belongs to Activision. If money wasn't the case, perhaps Bungie would have been all like...



But since they most likely got a truck full of $$$$

"Activision, we may own our game, but our ass on what we do with us belongs to you!"

Let's face it. The Bungie we know and love is dead. Especially after Marty got fired. :/
