The quarter tone thing? Yeah, they sound pretty funny at times, for sure, especially because they alternate between tones so quickly in that style of music.

The exercise thing? Of all the problems I will encounter later in life, not having a healthy heart is probably my number one concern, not just because my family has heart problems. If I had to pick one muscle to work out, that's definitely it. The skeletal muscle workouts aren't really as important yet.

lol@thinking lifting weights doesn't improve your cardiovascular health

I didn't say that at all. I just prefer to run or swim laps for my cardio as they focus more on the heart than other muscles.

Only if it's dirty and hot as well.

Swimming is super low impact.

Enjoy your non-strengthened bones.

[QUOTE=Mr. Pickle;17524374]Yeah, it's so bad it's still the #1 played game on Xbox Live two years after its release. ****IN' SUCKS! LAWL


And last night at the Gamestop I went to, the guy was saying Modern Warfare 2 has 1.6 million preorders. That's pretty awesome. However, not as awesome as Halo 3's 4+ million. lol[/QUOTE]

That's because dumb Halo fanboys bought XBox 360, along with gallons of Mountain Dew and hand lotion. Also, XBox has NO other good games; all the games that are good also came out on PS3, which leads me to:

Smart gamers bought a PS3 because it's a way better system than Xbox.

Fact.

I don't own either a PS3 or an XBox. Video games make you dumb if you play them too often.

Best way to exercise and burn calories.

Pluperfect_Arson 09-22-2009 06:31 PM

Dude, Gears of War 1 and 2 were both solid games, though short.

They killed online play for GoW2, though, which was bullshit.

Other than that, I quit being heavy into console games/gaming in general. I still do it at friends' houses and whatnot, just to piss them off, but I do not do much gaming at home.

I'm just not sure [I]why[/I] exactly it is that Halo is [B]so[/B] popular, I mean it can't just be "hurr I bought an xbox and MUST justify this particular purchase by claiming this game is fantastic." It's just an average shooter set in space with poor characterisation and a generic story line combined with repetitive gameplay and moderately creative weapons. The rave reviews is what I really don't understand.

My main hypothesis is that it's simply because nothing better exists. All the other shooters are either utter crap, recycled WW2 games (ohh yay) or are "halo clones" and lack any creativity.

Having said that, I don't have an xbox and bought a ps3 in favour of it because the ps3 exclusive games seem to be better by comparison. And it's more powerful or something. Really I just like the controller.[/quote]


It's considered one of the best, simply because it is an extremely well-crafted game. Halo 3 basically revolutionized console gaming. Their custom games and Forge combination are incredible and really the main reason it stays at #1 on the lists after such a long time. Their theater mode has created a countless number of machinimas to be posted on the internet. And Bungie is probably one of, if not THE, best companies when it comes to reaching out to their community, and listening to them.

I had to stop reading at about this point.

If Halo had been a PC game, it never would have made it past the first one, imo.

PaulSimonon 09-22-2009 08:47 PM

Eyyy.

Halo was a PC game.

funkyhoney 09-22-2009 09:32 PM

And it sucked then, too.

Mr. Pickle 09-22-2009 09:47 PM

I don't really care about your personal opinion of the game, but there is absolutely no denying it made drastic improvements to console gaming. Anyone who disagrees is just an idiot, tbh.

Epidemechanical 09-22-2009 09:52 PM

I think you do or you wouldn't be trying to convince me that an average game is somehow a great catalyst of change.

EDIT: I use a wrong word.

Mr. Pickle 09-22-2009 10:16 PM

lol ya k

funkyhoney 09-22-2009 10:25 PM

Man, know what's better than Halo? Every other generic faceless power-armoured space marine FPS ever made.

Mr. Pickle 09-22-2009 10:57 PM

Yeah, except they aren't the #1 played console game for two years running.

gaslight 09-22-2009 10:59 PM

Let's argue about this some more I really think we're on the cusp of making some serious progress.

Teehee, you said "cusp".

I'm not happy, my strap locks aren't here yet.

AND the pickguard I want is still out of stock.

Pluperfect_Arson 09-22-2009 11:37 PM

The new Paramore album ****ing slays.

I have been listening to it nonstop since 11PM last night.

funkyhoney 09-23-2009 12:00 AM

Almost as good as Emilie Simon's new album, I'm sure.

Pluperfect_Arson 09-23-2009 12:06 AM

I do not even know who that is.
