  1. Misanthrope's post reminded me of the weird-ass crates last night.  It kept spawning special crates about once an hour.  We only went for the first one, so RUkered could finally get one.  The game hates him tough.  He was literally kicking the damn thing across the racetrack infield, and it wouldn't let him pick it up.  The melraz walks up and has no issue with it.

     

    Also, I blame melraz for gettingThe Rodeo Song stuck in my head all day.  "Here comes Johnny with his pecker in his hand.  He's a one ball man and he's off to the rodeo...."

  2. We both decide to leave when Mel says "let's invite dude into the party to thank him for the help." I started laughing because I knew what was gonna happen next, I just knew it. Sure enough, kid was 13 tops. Don't these fuckers go to school? He seemed to be a good kid, not a dick, and he was by God handy in Freemode. He said he spent most of his time in Freemode with his buddies, but they were all sleeping or playing another game. His dot was as red as ours, so he's obviously killed a dot or two. Fun times.

     

    Most of the people we fight it out with online were probably in diapers when you and I hit 30.  Fortunately for them, the old men of the DVDR nite shift are there to provide the teaching moments.

    My BIGGEST regrets

    In Mass Effect 2

    At the last mission in 2, I chose Tali to go down the shaft. She was loyal (everyone was) but she ended up dying. I think you're supposed to pick Legion and everything goes smoothly. I was really bummed about that.

     

    Don't know why that would've happened.  I've made that same choice for every playthrough I've done, and never had that happen.

  4. I was wondering why you were so quiet last night Stout. 

     

    That was a helluva night.  Must've got 300 kills last night.  Got to 15K total, showing I've played too much of this damn game.  The one RUkered mentioned was good.  I got one guy by rolling up on him on a BMX bike and doing the allah akbar.  Got a good variation of the personal vehicle sticky bomb trap.  I shot a guy out of a buzzard at close range by the downtown pay and spray.  It came down intact in the parking lot, so I sticky bombed it and waited for the little helicopter icon to appear.

     

    Damn expensive night too.  I went through my entire stock of sticky bombs 4 times.  Multiple times with RPGs as well.  Probably spent about half a mil on weapons and personal vehicles.  We managed to clear out 3 rooms.  Came close to clearing the fourth a time or two, but it kept filling back up.

     

    Never did run into any really tough competition.  Could not believe the one guy didn't leave a long time before he did.  I don't think we've ever done the piranha act on one guy for that long.  Started out killing him by the parking garage glitch.  Killed him all the way to the beach.  Then up north to the sawmill.  Then back into town.  He finally left as we were getting close to Trevor's airfield.  We easily got over 100 kills on him.  I looked up his K/D at one point and it was .27.

  5. I'm 60% avoided now.  I think I only got one negative rep hit for my Fire Marshal Bill imitation.  That was the same guy that gave melraz his one negative rep.  Probably got pissed off after we kept trying to run over him as he was swimming in some hotel's pool.  I know I got at least one for the old shoot a guy/sticky his personal vehicle/trigger sticky when he gets back in the vehicle trick.  Last one I got was for trash talk, though I only turn my headset on if I'm in a party with you miscreants.

  6. I did finally figure out that I need to be doing as many bounties as possible.  I got on for about an hour last night and managed to do almost all the non-crucible bounties.  Helped that I could complete 3 by doing a playthrough of the Devil's lair.  Also got two different bounties for killing 10 fallen majors.

     

    I've never even been in the crucible, so there's the crucible bounties just sit there.  I've done 900 GAT5 deathmatches, but I'm avoiding their Destiny equivalent.

     

    Finished the story a few days ago.

     

    The only reason I knew the ending was the ending was because the game told me it was.  I killed that big heart thing (as soon as I saw those damn statues I knew damn well I that heart would be inhabiting them, and I'd have to kill them off.  Boss battle 101).  Then the boss man started telling me that was it.  Apparently those terminator/dinosaur things just wanted to go home, and somehow preventing them from doing that was the endgame.

     

    I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been paying very close attention, but I have no clue why anything is happening.  Who are all these different bad guys, and why are they so pissed off at one another?  Why is Venus full of things terminators?  Why is Mars overrun with giant armadillos that walk on two legs?  Who was the mystery woman and why does she keep helping and saying cryptic shit?  Why is the queen's brother such a douche, and when do I get to shoot him in the face?

  7. .

     

    How far are you along Mark and Robert?

     

    Is there anyone else on the 360 side?

     

    That would give us six.  We need more Titan/Warlock.  As it is now, we have 3 hunters (JT, Damien, and myself).  

     

    Think my warlock is level 22 at present.  I may not progress much from where I am now.  I have no clue how any of the leveling/marks/coins/light/shards, etc shit works at this point, and I'm not sure I care enough to figure it out.  I do know I finally got my first purple thing from the creepy asshole in the city, and it turned out to be for a hunter.

  8. I'm on completely the opposite end of the spectrum, so I'm OCD about always dropping weapons I don't want to use.   It still pisses me off that I can't drop the Gusenberg Sweeper.  I never bought the musket or the fireworks because I knew they would annoy the shit out of me.  I did buy the special carbine, which I still think is the best assault rifle in the game, and the bullpup rifle, which always seems identical to the advanced rifle to me.

     

    Don't know if I'll buy the two new weapons just because of that. If they have any DMs that force those, maybe I'll try them first.

    2. This is great: Let's say Robert is in a room and we all want in there. Instead of waiting for people to leave and hoping we luck into getting in, we can get in line to get into the room and them get a spot when a spot is ready. 

     

    Hell Yeah!  I've been hoping they would do something like that.  Saves us endless frustration if it works right.  Now if they'd just do something about auto-targeting priorities...

  10. I didn't get the best shot of the guy who was stuck in the sign, but here's what I got of him driving off in a car.

    I have no idea what that thing was on his head.  It looked like a silver Hefty bag.  Funniest damn thing was watching him Mary Lou.  The sign would stay perfectly vertical while his body rolled.

  11. I forgot about that. I was in a tank, being pushed through a tunnel at a rapid rate by a train pushing a fully on fire dump truck in front of it. I somehow got the kill on Melraz without firing a shot.

     

    I think those things aren't programmed to derail. I do see it appears to be on fire, though. We could somehow set nine dump trucks in front of it and it'd go through them all. That was funny, though.

     

    It would definitely mow through all nine dump trucks.  It'd be funnier than hell to watch though.  It's a little scary that melraz was the one that wanted to try derailing the train.

     

    That's what I still love about this game - the stupid shit you can come up with to do.  Like successfully evading a 3 star wanted level on a bicycle, or watching melraz drive past with his dashboard entirely engulfed in flames.

  12. Yeah, that was some good stuff last night.  The attempt to derail the train by parking a dump truck, tank, and bus at the entrance of a tunnel was fun, even if we knew it was doomed to failure.

    We cleared out the first sever with ease.  Second one was fun, especially after we realized we were surrounded by 9 white dots.

  13. God - I am getting really irritated at myself as often the only time I die in a mission is because I drive my god damn sparrow off a cliff.

     

    Glad it's not just me, though I also have to include jumping off a cliff like a dumbass.

  14. Last night's crowd wasn't any better than the night before. 

     

    I did run into one case where I liked racing without catchup enabled.  Back when I was trying to get race wins to upgrade my cars, I ran into a couple really low level guys that insisted on racing Down the Drain with custom cars on and catchup off.  My mostly modded car vs their unmodded crates made for the easiest wins I ever got.  Other than that they suck.
