Re: The New Official Play Thread
I've got 30+ pictures on tonight. Lemme post a few.
[EDIT]Derby stuff with tBC
Greetings tBC! - tBC came while I was doing somethin' else
tBC and I are getting ready to crash!
Luckily, he survived - I've gotta say that's pretty high
We face off a second time
This time I went flying
Arr, you'll never get away!
After that, it was Sidewinder
Just making stuff explode, with the Battle Cat driving
"Hating" the purple shooting thing
Phydeaux came a little after
Charge!!!
There goes he goes!
And then a long time after that, Bat came! (but tBC and Phy left before)
Two 'Hogs, rocket and chaingun, fell on each other. Weird.
There's Bat's ride on the left!
Bat crashed into me, causing me to fly into the Exosphere! - See Bat on the ground?
Same thing as above, just from a different view
I'm off the ground, again
This was awesome
And this is Bat's 'Hog doing flips from the image before
The last game of screenies was Chiron TL34
That is, indeed, Bat's head
I tried to run away!
Well, that's it folks! I hope my 5 MB disk limit wasn't exceeded. Bah, they were compressed enough.

Re: The New Official Play Thread
Oh, that? I emptied the clip, not even hitting you (right?), and you shoot once in my head. Heh, shows how much I need to learn.
Yeah, I was worried about exceeding the 5 MB disk space from my ISP, so I set GraphicConverter to compress the images to 10 KB each.
And I added more screenshots!

Sending to GE now. Not size-friendly, I'm afraid. Sometime in future...
Looks like you got a body hit, but one headshot trumps that. Sound localizes you, vapor trail pinpoints you.
Return fire kills you.

hmm... so that's what it looks like from my victim's point of view...

Immediately, a large toad leaped into her lap and looked at her as if it wanted to be loved. "Grep," it exclaimed. "Don't mind him," explained the Mad Hacker. He's just looking for some string."

No, this is Halo, not WoW, Haller... you know, the game you used to play? Anyway, the screen is from me, the victim BigSmall... I was in the base, arming. He opened up from the hill to my left. After 4 shots, I was down some health, one back & he was supine typing 'lol.'
(Wait- I was down some some health until going down a ladder and healthing up. I was a victim!
BigSmall unfair! Camper!!11~
)
Anyway... the screen is the victor's point of view.

I emailed it to GE. I expect he'll have it up soon.
(GE, that one's OK to .png or .jpeg for size-friendliness, unless you think the scope shader makes an interesting comparison. Maybe both?)

You're leaving out WoW... traitor.

Re: The New Official Play Thread
I wanted to take some screens when I was screwing around, but I failed to load Halo in screenshot mode. I got really good at writing with the Warthog chain gun.

That was fun, too. You did run, but...
"Did you stick it?"
"Yup."

Re: The New Official Play Thread
Anybody up for some tonight?
Yes, but the question is when?

Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Re: The New Official Play Thread
The Halo 2 shotgun doesn't have the same deadly feel.
And I'd like to thank you for making myself feel better about my shotgun capabilities. The last time I tried using it I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.
Whenever you pick up a flamethrower I get scared.

An hour... now?

I'm going to go camp on the server. I'm willing to wait ~1 hour for any takers to show up.
