No disrespect to dog but holy hell he's gonna carry that weight
Leo Garcia
Yeah, the weight of his own voice.
Benjamin Barnes
Reminder
Julian Garcia
*notable /hg/ member* is a shit
Carter Nguyen
>tfw no Halo 5: Master Chief & Friends Superstars Adventures in Dreamland
Angel Nelson
Hey meme all about it if you want. But I have a lot of respect for him following through with his promise. Plus he has one of the less-irritating voices in /hg/ anyway. Sucks we didn't get to see the snail though.
Blake Hernandez
Okay but take this anyways.
Sebastian Walker
Does this mean ODST is white suppremasist propoganda?
Evan Young
Such eternal suffering... he really is... the punished dog
Anthony Walker
BTFO
Jaxson Peterson
No, he's the punished dog because of the ban he got from calling a random guy a "faggot."
Angel Lopez
Fucking REALLY bungie?
Ryan Baker

Anyone plan on getting the new call of duty? I kinda hate myself for even considering it desu.
Dylan Lewis
nah
Hudson Butler
No
Brody Robinson
I hate myself for unironically wanting to play Battlefront 2's single player.
Dominic Price
Why? It looks fun.
Jeremiah Roberts
why did 343 have to supersize the forward unto dawn again
Owen Roberts

Jonathan Stewart
>tfw no ringworld videogame
Julian Brooks

Gavin Green
>WHAT DID TRUTH JUST DO? >DID HE ACTIVATE THE RINGS? No, but he dis just render over half the campaign redundant
Hudson Rivera
Good Morning, /hg/
Brody Martin
Hey man don't look at me, I've always said it was a dumb complain. Lorefags be damned.
Chase Cook
Redundant how?
Jordan Johnson
The entire first half of the game is an attempt to stop Truth before he reaches the ark. Chief could have done nothing and the results would have been the same
David Johnson
The whole plan of pushing through to take down Truths ship is pointless because he gets away with it anyway
Jose Scott
Good morning m8
Eli Anderson
Yeah but it's made by Dice. Their campaigns are usually short and shit
No. Fuck the current AAA market. Just gonna stick with Halo 5 until the next game and on the side play stuff like cuphead, Mania, and other indie projects.

>we need someone to make more use of microtransactions FUCK. THIS. COMPANY.
Ayden Brown
>You should also have a deep understanding of the ways human decision-making can affect, and be affected by, the sort of economies found in video games.
fuck blizzard for starting this in-house psychologist meme
William Bailey
Halo is dead
Oliver Ross
>Minimum Qualifications: Graduate degree in Economics or Behavioral Economics The fucking state of this country's education system where you need a master's degree just to work on videogames. In the 90s, most programmers were either college dropouts or people who didn't even attend a university to begin with. Just wait, in 15 years anything below a Doctor's will be useless.
Jaxson Morgan
...
Brayden Martinez
Pretty good taste, Paul.
Ryan Barnes
To be fair, you can get around most of the qualification bullshit in almost every field if you just know the right people. 90% of getting a good job is networking.
Christopher Carter
This. My cousin graduated with a 3.8 and doesn't even put the GPA on his resume anymore because his references that he's built up are all that matters.
Nolan Wilson
>tfw only 3.3 GPA, with less than a year to go and don't see it improving that much before graduation but Dad is friends with the VP of the company I want to apply to Do you think I could get away with leaving it off?
Carter Sanchez
Eh, for your first job out of college, you should probably leave it on there unless it's REALLY fucking terrible (under 3.2) An employer is going to want to look at your most recent experience and since that's college in your case, he/she is going to want to see your grades. You're on the cusp with a 3.3 so I'd say leave it on and hope your Daddy connection can carry you. If you get the job, secure that VP as a reference then you can take the GPA off for future interviews down the road.
Carson Nelson
>it's class based What
James Hernandez
So I'm sure the answer is NO but given maybe. Has Anyone played HGrena in anyway lol?
Christopher Taylor
I'm downloading it today
Luis Kelly
I did. But only by myself. I honestly think it's pretty memetastic. Would be willing to get drunk and play it some timw.
Competitive and Ranked are one and the same though? No option for Social play or Customs? I guess the only ones I can pick are first person, co-op and themes, no real multiplayer option for me and that's the main problem for me. Its designed from the ground up to be competitive garbage and muh esports so it doesn't translate well outside of that.
Multiple gametypes could mean anything, warzone, assault, swat etc.
Josiah Torres
This I actually think Mass Effect 3 was the first time I saw it show up in a AAA game
Colton Phillips
I remember that. It was a... different implementation I wasn't used to, but I unironically really liked the ME3 multiplayer so I didn't mind it
Logan Walker
Spartan Strike guy here, just giving an update to all who are interested
Apparently if you are on windows 10, the game will not detect keyboard input. You need to have some other way to play it, with a usb keyboard or controller maybe
So now I have a game in my library that can't be played
Logan Johnson
How can it be this hard for one of the biggest tech corporations in the west to make a distribution platform?
Dominic Allen
The Windows 10 Game store/interface is a fucking disaster
Justin Wright
Wasn't Big Red's tournament supposed to start yesterday?
Hudson Ross
>After discovering the problem, I look at all the reviews this game got >For every 1 star rating that stated this issue, there seemed to be 10 other 4-5 star ratings with none of them saying what the problem with this game was
I thought 'Being a shill' was a meme until today.
Elijah Morgan
>Wasn't Big Red's tournament supposed to start yesterday? We had a whopping total of 4 attendees, so what I'm going to have to do is target/ask people more specifically, just like always. Sometimes you just have to do everything yourself... Also I'm not in the discord so I have no way of knowing if the other person helping run it posted information/asked people to join.
Brody Harris
>Also I'm not in the discord so I have no way of knowing if the other person helping run it posted information/asked people to join. Nobody has posted anything of the sort
Evan Gray
Have the 2v2 tournament later. Start planning the next Halofest.
Jayden Murphy
next halofest when
Brody Robinson
Whatever. I can maybe hold his feet to the fire a little more. He's a gud boi, he was probably just busy with some irl shit and forgot.
>Halofest Eh, IDK Let me mull it over. I don't want to piss anyone off.
Nathan Fisher
Anybody that you've pissed off is not going to stop being pissed off. People who want to play again will show up. The best you can do is to start planning the next one and be open about the process as it goes forward, giving detailed updates along the way.
Ryder Lewis
I've never done a Halofest. What's it like?
Wyatt Barnes
>I've never done a Halofest. What's it like? It's pretty comfy.
Bentley Brooks
They're fun, but not without controversy. The first one was the best and came down to a single kill at the end of the night. The second was a shutout because Blue Team's best two players ragequit after the secoknd match. The third was pretty good, even if some of the maps were... let's not do them again. K? Fourth one apparently has a team draft now, so that will be interesting.
Jason Sullivan
Depends on who you ask.
Joseph Walker
Alright fine. Tentative date I'll set as Saturday, Nov 4th. That's the day before daylight savings so we all get an extra hour.
Team drafts are next Friday. I'll start taking names for those who want in now. Someone post this in the discord.
