How to Poster-ize your friends on Halo 3!

Very cool. Here is an example of Shade shooting BC Dad (sorry BC) with the Spartan Laser last night.

My friend Shade has emailed me instructions on how to download pictures to his desktop of actual footage from a Halo 3 game he played last night.

Basically what Shade did was...

- go to the Theater lobby
- look up recent films
- find the film you want to view, highlight it and Save it
- once it's saved, you can view the film
- while viewing it, you can use different controls to follow each player, or float the camera
- at any point you can freeze the movie and take a snapshot; also while moving the camera view, rotating, zooming, etc.

- once I had saved off some screenshots, I went to the File Share option
- from there, click a slot and select the screenshots to upload
- once they're uploaded, you can go to your profile on www.bungie.net and view your shared files; I dunno about movies, but for pix it gives you the option to download them.

Halo 3 Factoids

I came across this very interesting post that features various facts on our favorite game.

This one about Michael Vick is pretty funny too.

"My Other Car is a Warthog"

I found out where they sell these Halo themed license plate frames...Bungie of course. And as luck would have it they are currently out of stock.

Check out this funny video of some dude driving an actual warthog but he gets into a little fender-bender.

Halo Movie Trailer or Commercial?

This is freakin awesome. Click the link to see the video. I dont know if this is from a commercial that I have not seen or if it is a trailer from movie. But either way it is incredible!!!!

Halo 3 Ending Leaked

There were recent reports of the Halo 3 street release date being broken and there have been 2 copies that were sold over a week before its actual release which is unheard of.

Well just as you can expect someone recently uploaded a video of the Halo 3 ending...coincidence, I think not!

Anyways I didn't put the link up because I didn't want to be the guy that spoiled the ending for everyone.

I personally am hoping Bungie released an "Alternate Ending" to thwart a-holes like this one.

Man dies after 3-day gaming binge

BEIJING, China (AP) -- A man in southern China appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge, state media said Monday.

The 30-year-old man fainted at a cyber cafe in the city of Guangzhou Saturday afternoon after he had been playing games online for three days, the Beijing News reported.

Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet.

The report did not say what the man, whose name was not given, was playing.

The report said that about 100 other Web surfers "left the cafe in fear after witnessing the man's death."

China has 140 million Internet users, second only to the U.S.. It is one of the world's biggest markets for online games, with tens of millions of players, many of whom hunker down for hours in front of PCs in public Internet cafes.

Several cities have clinics to treat what psychiatrists have dubbed "Internet addiction" in users, many of them children and teenagers, who play online games or surf the Web for days at a time.


Lets not be a statistic gentlemen! On Sept 25th remember to get some shut eye eventually!

What a way to go out. I hope when I die it is from something heroic! Not via video games - Raider X

TARGET, XBOX 360 AND CHIP GANASSI RACING TO FEATURE HALO 3 PAINT SCHEME DURING SNEAK PEEK NASCAR WEEKEND AT DOVER

Select Drivers to Get Chance to Finish the Fight Before Anyone Else

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – September 13, 2007 – Target, Microsoft and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced today that the No. 40 car will feature an exclusive "Halo 3"-themed paint scheme during the Dover 400 Nextel Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday, Sept. 23. As fans throughout the world line up for the blockbuster Xbox 360 title, CGRFS driver David Stremme will showcase a distinctly designed paint scheme in advance of the game’s much anticipated release on Tuesday, Sept. 25.



"I'm honored and excited to be running the 'Halo 3' car at Dover and can’t wait to show off this awesome paint scheme," said Stremme. "It's going to be a special experience when the car rolls off the truck for the first time at Dover – as a Halo fan, I'm thrilled."

In addition to the special paint scheme in the Nextel Cup race on Sunday, Target and Microsoft are giving select drivers the chance to play "Halo 3," one of the most anticipated video games of all time, before it releases to the public.

"Target is proud to partner with Microsoft to bring some 'Halo 3' excitement to Dover race fans before the much anticipated release date," said Target Senior Buyer, Troy Peterson. "We expect this to be one of our largest gaming releases ever."

"Halo 3," the final chapter in the groundbreaking "Halo" trilogy, is set to shatter day-one entertainment sales records when it is released worldwide beginning Tuesday, Sept. 25. Created by legendary developer Bungie Studios and exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, "Halo 3" will set a new standard for interactive storytelling and social gaming by engaging consumers worldwide in the epic battle of Master Chief(TM) to save humankind.

In November 2004, the world’s view of video games changed forever with the release of "Halo 2," which generated a record-setting $125 million (U.S.) in sales within the first 24 hours and changed the way people think about interactive entertainment. Three years later, it remains the most-played game on Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE® online gaming and entertainment network, with nearly 1 billion hours of online gaming logged to date.

The sign up box with my number is at the bottom right hand corner of the page, and will lead you through the process(takes about 5 minutes).Make sure you pick the referral system and not the points system when you sign up.

Please try it out and refer anyone you might think would be interested in any of the offers to it as well. When you sign up please comment on the blog or email me so that I can make sure that it goes through and is legit.

Stupid People Doing Stupid Things

Okay, we need a thread about how dumb some people are. Ever get the urge to throttle someone? I mean, ever see something and just feel like jumping out of your car with a bat, hammering someone's window in and screaming, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?"

So I'm driving back from the store today, and I see a perfect example of a self-righteous bumper sticker. There's a mini-van in front of me, and it has a bumper sticker on it saying, "Safety First, No Cellphones!". It has a big picture of a cellphone in a circle with a line through it. Brilliant. The first thing that crossed my mind is...it's not cellphones that cause accidents, it's the stupid mental distraction of people too dumb to walk and chew bubblegum in the first place. And as I take a closer look through the back of the mini-van, I see a classic vision. The driver isn't using a cellphone (Safety First!). Oh no, no. Instead, the driver has their left arm leaning out of the window, holding a napkin wrapped donut, which they occasionally lean into to munch on. Oh yes, that's so much safer than a cellphone, you freakin' IDIOT!!!

Anyone else seen stupid people lately?

Sept. 25th? What're we gonna do?

Okay, so are we going to do anything when H3 comes out, or are we just going to wait until that Friday? I'd love to do the 4 player co-op, but if there's a bunch of us on, multi-player's the way to go. Work permitting, I'll probably be on every night that week. Anyone else?
