ME is one of the biggest game franchises I haven't played, that I've been meaning to get around to.

Speaking of which what was that recent community project that completely redesigned the campaign and added a fuck ton of weapons like the DMR and BR called again?

The Silent Cartographer: Evolved by CMT.

The SPv2 Campaign is also really neat, but rushed after the second mission. Keep an eye out for SPv3 because it's going to be the sex when it releases.

It's non-news by this point and only like 5 people care about Halo CE, but I'm pretty pleased fam.

1.5 is basically a community created Map Pack that was ported to the Xbox version of Halo (and never released on PC for some reason) that focused specifically on Competitive gameplay like a few of the vanilla maps - Something that's rarely done in Custom Edition. The makers of the map have stayed true to Halo CE's competitive Multiplayer by using the weapon spawn timing to direct the flow of each game, which has been overlooked in a lot of Map releases.

Most of the maps' gameplay ends up being too slow, unbalanced as hell, or a spawn camping shitfest that's fun for exactly 1 person on the server, even in gametypes they were designed for (I'm looking at you, Coldsnap, Extinction and Bigass). The ones that are reasonably competitive often get overlooked because of a lack of gimmicks (people love their reskins/super mega le teleport riddled blood gulch with 99999 sniper rifles xDDDDD), but there seems to be a bit of a following with this map pack's porting on Halomaps.org.

Even with Halo PC's broken netcode interfering with online matches and altering the weapon spawn times by 6 seconds, I still hope to get a LAN community happening in my area for some competitive matches.

The North Carolina town of Woodlawn rejected a proposal by the Strata Solar Company to build a farm near the town after locals expressed serious opposition.

At a community meeting opposition was raised to the idea of a solar plant because it would “suck up all the energy from the sun” in the words of local man Bobby Mann, reported the local paper.

"You’re killing your town,” he said. “All the young people are going to move out,” Mr Mann said.

Another local woman named Jane Mann who was identified as a retired school teacher expressed genuine fears plants in the area would not get enough sunlight to perform photosynthesis if the solar project was approved.

She also said no one had proved solar panels didn’t cause cancer.

“I want to know what’s going to happen,” she said. “I want information. Enough is enough. I don’t see the profit for the town.

“People come with hidden agendas,” she said. “Until we can find if anything is going to damage this community, we shouldn’t sign any paper.”

The council voted 3-1 against the proposal and then agreed to place a moratorium on future farms.

I'm confused by the Plant statement, does Jane Mann expect the Solar Cells to cover most of the farms' plantations in the area, or does an ex-school teacher actually not know how Light works? I feel sorry for her students either way.

The Cancer argument is a bit of a joke too. Nothing has been reported about people who live in close proximity to Solar Cells in the regard of overall health, and it's not like Coal-fired plants and Cars without Catalytic Converters (that are still reasonably common) are making air any better for one's lungs anyway.

Thoughts?

I used to like Silent Night the most. Dunno now.

I'll name my firstborn after Nuka.

Another Cloned Ripley film?

A Bug's Life was my favourite back then, but now it's shifted to Toy Story.

Actually I've only done about 3 of those since returning.

Feels like it's been more tbh, but I guess it's easy to exaggerate shit to myself. Start more discussions on other shit too fam

tbh I thought all OG Xbox and 360s had shitty drives. Halo 3 and Guitar Hero 5 have a 50% chance of being read if I haven't installed them to the HDD. I hope the XB1's tray has a better shelf life.

You dont have any.

I only knew about the expansion pack for Majora's Mask and the memory pack on the controller for saving games.
What else is there?

The 64 Disc Drive (IIRC there's no emulator for it either) was a Japan-only release with 15,000 units shipped, and had like 8-10 games, some of which worked to expand on existing games. You can pick one up for between $750 and $2,500 online.

If you find a few slots on the bottom of an old Nintendo Console that you never used and wondered about, chances are they were intended to have a Disc Drive plug in to the bottom.

"would you have sex with/for/on..."

Literally every Charlie thread

I'm so glad mine had one

I like the novelty of having extra shit to add to your console, but fuck me the N64 is annoying with the amount of peripherals/add-ons if you want to play certain games. R.I.P the wallets of people like me who want to play the F-Zero X Expansion kit.

Must suck for people who want to play the Four Swords games too.
