We got our basement carpet cleaned from the flood, ~150 gallons of water in the carpet. The truck had a 75 gallon take, and we filled it twice.

A ton of people from the Bungie forums have gotten it into their heads that the leaked H3 maps are glitches, and not mods...

>_>

They said the same about the No Respawn Time. It's common knowledge that 90% of the Bungie.net userbase is collectively retarded. The only thing surpassed by skeptics is the group who think they know how it was done and proceed to explain it, proving they too are completely oblivious to the information. Just ignore the idiots. Trying to talk to them will only result in you being harassed, called a liar, and idiot, and so on, while giving them no information because their stubbornness is compounded by their idiocy.

Here are some direct quotes from idiots I speak of:
"Shade4510 got it from his still undiscovered modding clan."
"plus one of my friends had the elite and spartan one for along time." (Posted about one day after they were leaked)
"Guys, I have no clue how this happened but I was also told it was made by a former Bungie worker so thats that."

I know what you mean Tural. I once tried mentioning that the AU wouldn't add new Forge items to every map. They prompty called me a retard who doesn't know what an AU is, flamed me for my rank (L45, Brig II), and decided I was a Halo 3 bandwagoner.

It really annoys the hell out of me. Some people are spreading a tutorial on how to actually clone a player. There's even a video of someone doing this method within the Halo 3 Beta, and it's claimed that it works within the retail game as well. So, people are actually starting to believe this false information.

I really feel bad for Bungie. I'm sure this is true with most game companies, but what you say about the userbase is very much true. Any attempt at intelligent communication is usually lost beneath their cries for attention, answers to the Heroic/Legendary member stuff, asking users to view a montage, or Recon.

I had such higher hopes for the gaming community.

I just ignore all of it.

I appear to be a Heroic Member, what in the world does that mean?

grunts find you sexually attractive if you are an heroic member.

I'm doing a marketing thing on the iPhone...And it really makes me want one. That keynote is orsm...Buuut eBay sells them for WAY too much...I'll just stick to my current phone

heh, my brother found one somewhere. Apparently it was pretty damaged or something, he had to do a bit of work on it to get it working. Pretty cool though. (My dad has one that he bought though, it's frickin sweet)

And now, I'm heading off to get my wisdom teeth out. I'll be inactive for the next day or so.

My dentist is still waiting to see if my wisdom teeth need to be removed. They are angled and they want to see how they grow. Personally i would like the right one removed cause its angled to the point food constatly gets stuck in the "gap"

When you wake up, there'll be loads of your own blood on your pillow.

I didn't have that problem. In fact, I was fine aside from swelling/not being able to eat solid food...like I walked out of the hospital (my sisters/friends that had it done had to be taken out to the car on a stretcher or something) and was doing normal things all day...but this was during the summer, I can't imagine it'd be fun during school.

No, it wasn't... Although I did enjoy the tomato soup.

When I got diabetes baaaack in the day, one night at the hospital the nurse must have either unplugged my IV or she just let it go and blood squirted everywhere because in the morning I woke up to be literally half soaked in blood. My bed was 1/2 red, for rale.

Coolio.

Rant: I don't like tomato soup, but sometimes I am forced to eat it anyway.

It's snowing a lot of outside, in fact, some of it's icy, so the power in my house flickered a few times, and I feared that my computer would shut down from lack of power.
Fortunately, it did not. I was proud.

Three seconds later... it shut down.

I don't see what you're trying to say there.

Some times it snows without things freezing over (i.e. none of it has melted, or it didn't rain beforehand). He's saying things are freezing over.

In other news, my XM crapped out for no reason...it's only letting me choose like 5 channels.
