Weirdly, the 2 or 3 times I've pre-ordered with Amazon I've got it first day. No idea why it's different for others.

I ended up about 15-7 on Mundungo. Hopefully that annoyed him. His buddy actually brought that tank to him with a cargobob, to bail him out.
The last bunch we fought were mostly awful. Those 3 had me pinned down from 3 different directions, with no cover. I figured I might as well try to get as many as I could before I went down. Ended up killing all 3 without taking so much as a hit.
Scooter boys were my fault, I think. I shot both off that motorcycle 3 times, and blew it up once. I guess that pissed em off. I kinda felt flattered when one set a bounty and mercs on me. I think I blew up that motorcycle 6 times after that.

Am I the only one that gets unsettled every time they see Bing or Google is currently viewing this thread? I keep thinking they're reading our latest exploits and forwarding it to the NSA. If they take it out of context, I figure some of us are gonna wake up one morning and find we've been renditioned to Diego Garcia or something.

That youngurn's gonna be a football player. No matter what the sex (but I think it's gonna be a boy, right?), name the kid Johnny Football. I'm serious. Imagine the press coverage. During the 2008 presidential race, someone from my hometown made national news when he named his girl "Sarah McCain Palin."
I should be online. My wife's back went out pretty badly this morning, so I may be dropping off from time to time to take care of her.
Melraz, Robert and I were "fighting" these two last night who would go into glitches, go into passive, go into passive in glitches, you name it, they did it, and pretty much every time they weren't in passive, they were getting dominated. Mel leaves, so Robert and I keep up the pressure since we're the only four in there and we wanna run them off for ran-off room no. 2.
Then Robert says "this room's full," and sure enough, the room pretty much magically went from 4 to 16. We start chasing other dots, 'cause those guys are just passive-mode babies. Frickin' five seconds after Robert goes to find another dot, he finds 18 of them. I'm like (dammit, Robert) "I'm headed your way."
As soon as I arrive, the place thins out (coincidence, I'm certain) and it's down to us 2 against one guy. He's doing very well against me and staying even with Robert. Then here comes a jet. Jet thrashes me, killing me about seven times before crashing. I said to Robert "watch this asshole, he's gonna come back in in passive." No, he came back and proceeded to stick a sniper rifle so far up my ass the barrel was sticking out of my mouth.
He proceeded to thrash the living shit out of me, just beat me unmerciful while I cowered in a corner. I got a real fluky kill on him late, so I think the final total was 14-1 or something. Not fun. It's amaing how the game can go (for me) from kicking the shit out of someone to getting the shit kicked out of me so easily.
Yeah, we're having a boy. I'll try to convince my wife on the whole JFF name. She's an Aggie too, but not sure she'll go along with that one.
That pair we kept trying to run off were just about the dirt worst I've ever come across. Glitch/passive/repeat. They kept going in the parking garage glitch. Then after we got em out of there, one ran all the way across the map to the bridge glitch near the east side LSC. Poor little bastard was sitting over there for the longest, waiting forlornly for somebody to come after him. He kept texting me, and I kept laughing at him.
I was in the middle of trying to figure out our latest strategy on them when all of a sudden I saw a bunch of X killed Y messages. No idea how the room filled up without us even realizing, but I was happy to leave those clowns behind. Rolled right into the middle of 5 or 6 dots, only to find they were mostly working together. It was still better than what we had before. The final two from that last scrum could go for sure. I wound up even with sniper boy, and down 3 kills to jet boy, though that's counting the 3 times he got me with the damn jet.
First room we cleared out was full of the most clueless players ever. I'd been in there about 30 minutes, spent mostly in a near constant firefight, before I got killed by anything other than a jet/buzzard. melraz and I were going at least 10 for 1 on that bunch. They'd mostly vanished by the time you joined to finish off the server.

Had a hilarious bit of good luck in the Getaway DM tonight. Was on top of the main building's roof stalking a guy on the beach when I accidentally fell off. Guy doesn't notice me fall in the bushes to his left, so I calmly send him into the great beyond with my assault SG. Took cover in the nearest wall and peeked around the corner to find the entire rest of the other team running down a sidewalk right at me. Shotgun took care of all 4 of them before they could react. Finished up 9/0. Chalk one up for dumb luck.

I'm thinking I'll run all 3 classes, at least till I figure out what I like best, and how that balances with what everybody else has. I tried hunter and warlock for the demo, but somehow found myself punching/stabbing things most of the time.
All I know for sure is that they will have purple hair, which I must always pick if available.

Welcome to the group Robert, so which system are you getting this for?
If I get the game soon, and I might get it this week, it'll be 360. My PS3 isn't even online, and I probably won't get a next gen system till around November - just in time to let it start gathering dust.

I have one of those enormous watches that I got as a gift. I can't bear to wear it most of the time, because I spend most of my working day at a computer, and it drives me nuts from being so damn big and bulky. The one I actually wear 99% of the time is my wife's old heartrate/exercise monitor that I appropriated after she got a new one.
-
I'm a ways off from those types of concerns, so I'm busy being intimidated by all the newborn stuff, and all the shit that everybody's convinced babies need. Anyway, my wife and I have both had so much advanced math and science training that there won't be much schoolwork we can't handle. Teaching him to do what's right, on the other hand, scares the shit out of me.
-
We were chasing down one or two dots. Then a whole shitload of them appeared out of nowhere. That was the worst beating I've taken in a while.
A few of them were working together, but mostly it was just a big mess. At one point I had 5 guys surrounding me. Couldn't move in any direction without getting shot. Once it got down to 2 or 3 of them, it got much easier. Then the jets showed up.
I had to get up early, so I bailed out after my XBOX forced a system update on me all of a sudden.
-
Y'all are really making me look forward to my first ever time changing diapers, coming in early January.
-
Valcourt, hope I didn't shoot you while I was in mid rampage. I was trying to get my mental state to full psycho as quickly as possible, and the folks around we were being quite helpful. I was listening in in their chat, and the outrage was quite fun.
On the other hand, I'm glad I wasn't listening late night when Stout and I were getting our asses whipped. If some of those guys had been saying how much I sucked, I would've readily agreed with em.

My Longhorns get BYU at home, in what had been considered a chance for sweet, sweet payback for last year's massacre (which led to Manny Diaz's blessed firing and ultimately Mack Brown's demise). I don't see Charlie Strong and Vance Bedford's D letting Taysom Hill embarrass us again. But I don't see our offense putting more than 10 points on the board, maybe 17 if we're given a short field by the D twice instead of the one time I'm already counting on.
10 points on offense may be optimistic after Strong's latest suspensions. Both projected OT starters.
Stolen from another board, which stole it from somewhere else:
"The Texas offensive line now consists of Jake Raulerson, a poster of Dan Neil, a barn cat, a rancid pickle and poem by Bill Little."

Yahoo is amusing me by telling me I should consider trading some of my depth at QB and TE for the team I drafted last night. I have one QB and one TE.
-
Well, if you're a Luddite like me, a watch is still a useful device. I only have a cell phone because I sometimes have to have it. I only carry it when necessary. Hell, I don't actually know where my is now. It's either in my car or somewhere in the house, but I'm not sure which. When my current phone (I have a 4 or 5 year old flip phone) got stolen a couple years back, it took me about two weeks to realize it.

Once you get the hang of it, and have access to the Spectre assault rifle, thresher maws are fantastically easy to kill with the old FPS trick of run in a circle and shoot the thing in the middle. That approach is much easier to me than trying to use the Mako.
-
My approach to the Mako is always the same. Drive right into the middle of whatever is shooting at me and run over the biggest thing I can find. While whatever I hit is trying to right itself, I hop out and continue the fight on foot. Maybe not the smartest way to handle it, but it gives you extra XP and I don't have to worry about trying drive that damn tank.
The exception to that rule is when I've gotta fight turrets. I usually try to take those out at long distance with my sniper rifle before moving in to mop up whatever is left.

How in the shit do you get 9 mil in free mode?
I've got 1 mil and it's taken me FOREVER to get that...!!!
Some modder just created money out of thin air and gave it to him.
Yeah, money was just bubbling out of the ground around me. I got most of it, but melraz and stout picked up some after they came and stood next to me. That probably took about 5 minutes. Some guy we'd been killing over and over ran up and threw a grenade into our midst. All 3 of us were in passive, but it killed the modder guy.
So what the hell? I play for about 10 hours straight and the minute I sign off to watch Netflix while I fall asleep, the money genies come out of the woods? Dammit, I only have 3.5 mil of hooker money left. I'm "poor."
Anyway, what the hell is up with the glitchers? I watched them on the garage TV a while, and in addition to the already mentioned green egg head, another guy also had what I can only describe as a candy bar wrapper surrounding him with weeds growing out of it.
I was down to 2.2 million. I can afford to blow up a shitload of Adders now. Also, I feel dirty.
Modders and Glitchers are stealing my love for free mode. I miss the days when players just took their Darwinian asswhoopins like they should.
The first room was pretty annoying with being auto-killed. The second room, where we spent most of our time, was fine outside of the tanks. Somebody gives me 9 million, I'm gonna take it.
-
In case anyone's confused, we ran into another modder. This one was more benign. He was just attached to Robert's backside, for lack of a better term, just dropping shitloads of money. He could be killed. I got into a Futo with him once and he kept hitting just these hyperspace speed boosts, just insanity.
This clearly has to be the new thing since that is what the modders were doing in the first room too.
Mario Modz was humping the other two dudes except when they were riding in a car together.
Did the person getting friendly with Robert also have a giant green egg on their head like the other modders?
He looked normal, except other than the money sprouting around him, and being stuck to my ass.
-
Well, tonight's freemode run was .... interesting. The first server had a trio that were auto detonating everybody around them. Second server had a guy that kept claiming how badass he was, while continually grabbing tanks. Before my internet crashed for the second time my character got, for a lack of a better word, violated. At least I made $9.5 million for my trouble. Stout and melraz made about another million just for standing nearby.

I'm just hoping Rippa doesn't snipe us all in the head for having to put up with the picture hacking thread.

I'll be on, but not until late. Same reason as Rippa.
As expected, my real life shooting was a mess. There were a couple shots I took that were so bad I would've had a better chance throwing the gun at the bird. Still managed to get a few, so I only need 587 more birds before I can get the LSPD tint for my Beretta A390. I would've made my limit, but a couple of those birds were clearly in god mode. Fucking cheating dove.

David Ash got another concussion in Texas' game Saturday. This was his first game back after getting two back to back ended his season early last year. It looks like he's getting to the point where he really needs to hang it up before his brain gets scrambled permanently.

Thank goodness some people don't pay attention to injuries, etc. One of my opponents started AP and Doug Martin as his two RBs today.
