Heh. (none / 0)

I just played Bungie last night! In Grifball, at least. And not with the likes of Luke or Frank, or even Sketch (oddly, the captain of the Bungie Grifball team. He had a "conflict" to deal with, and couldn't make it.). You guys are lucky you'll be able to play with the "big guys". It was nice having someone from Bungie on my Friends List while it lasted though.. Luckily, Sketch says he's interested in having us playtest some of his Forged maps with him and some Bungie guys sometime. So I guess that makes up for it.
Here's the game. There are a few screenshots I took as well (check the "Game Assets" box).

As for FFF, I'd be honored to host a Halo 3 room. I got all my router/connection problems worked out, thanks to Savage Injun on here and Master NOODLE from.. nearly every Halo site on the internet. I could offer some tips/strategies that could make the fight against Bungie pretty easy, papi, whenever it comes.
I have quite a few gametypes, ranging from the standard to the crazy, to the mundane, and everything in between.
If anybody is interested, either send me a message on Live or a note on here so I know who to send invites too. I'll keep my Grifball team online after our game with HBO if anyone's interested in playing that to start things off.

NXE FTW!

  I know it's relatively early, but I keep seeing "New Comments" being posted, but none in response to mine. Nothing on Live either.
  Oh well. I'll still keep the party open for anyone who wants to come.
  Hopefully I can at least get in on the Humpday, given that I'm one of the few on here who actually still own Halo 3. It's also good that Bungie allows for 6 people - you can get a better selection of the community on this site because of that.
  Hopefully I can pop in for some COD4 tonight, but there's no guarantees.
  
  NXE FTW!

    to be a part of that Humpday. We're going to need good players to pick up the slack for my terrible playing.

    - Cool. (none / 0)
      
      I'll use my amazing MLG skillz. Heh.
      Just make sure we don't play on Sketchtrap. That's the map that spawns the Bungie team with access to the best weapons, vehicles, etc. It's more of a joke than anything else.
      Any idea when this thing will happen? I'm guessing it's not, next week, for instance, but I can't imagine it's too far into the future.

        This should probably be kept relatively secret, I suppose. Imagine if word got out about this - how many people would join just to ask "canz i pleh bungee wit u guyz??!?".
        Although... it might boost the member count substantially :).
        Heh. jk

      You ain't as bad as you say you are man. We all have off days, just start to think of all the good days, then forget the bad ones. Then you'll see, you're not that bad. Unless, you really are that bad, then, nothing will help you... LOL, JK

        But surprisingly, I'm pretty good at the campaign. I just get owned in Halo online.
        Not nearly as much in COD4 though (well, sometimes I do).

        we'll just have to see I guess. There are plenty of tips you can use to up the skillz.

        I totally STINK at Halo MP. I get my butt handed to me whenever I play, oh I guess that's not helping my chance of getting to play with the Bungie guys LOL. I bought the new maps a while back and I played on them once, I need to try them out some more I guess.

        Hey, if you guys need extra help (none / 0)
        
        my two boys can pull their own weight and then some. They are fierce and they play together like the Orges so they have chemistry, too. Watchin' those two go for the flag on a Mongoose on Valhalla is a treat. I am almost disappointed they got Smash Brawl this week. I loved knowing they were kickin' butt in the Halo universe while I was at work.
        papi, I think they are even on your friends list, at least Johann Nishiki is. Ah, I am crazy proud of those guys. ;)
