Texas QB David Ash has thankfully decided to call it quits. Either he realized the obvious or somebody finally got through him that having a functional brain later in life might be nice.

I am glad that people here have not fallen into the online consensus of "this game's story is insanely short and wears thin once you beat the story."
It keeps me interested in picking this thing up in the next week or so.
I personally have come to that conclusion but for me, Destiny is all about the catharsis found in shooting things in the head while talking about pro wrestling and sports and movies and shit with my fellow DVDVR members.
If all I did was play the game, I'd get tired of it pretty quickly
That's the same reason I'm playing GTA at this point. I barely touch it on my own. I'll probably play some Destiny by myself, because I'm way behind others on getting my character started/leveled up.
I did finally manage to unwrap Destiny yesterday and then promptly fell asleep for two hours once the install started.

10 hours to complete? Holy shit. Guess I'm gonna have to be satisfied with smaller stuff.

Best way to counter serial combat rolls?
*BUTT STOCK TO THE FACE!!!
I hope I didn't deafen anybody from laughing so hard during that second normal mode DM. We must've Mary Lou-ed around each other for 15 or 20 seconds before you finally beat me to death.

Yeah, there was definitely some weird stuff going on last night. I shot one guy through a huge concrete wall when I first got on. Later on somebody sneaked up on me but it was like he couldn't auto-target me. He was shooting all around me, but didn't hit me much. I Mary Lou-ed and shot him with my assaunt shotgun, but he didn't die till about 5 seconds after I stopped shooting.
Rippa was jumping around all over during one of our DMs.
The Coquette was perfectly still on my screen while it was up there.

I was kinda hoping it would turn out like when I was a kid, and we'd get a wiffle ball stuck in an oak tree - where we'd keep throwing more stuff up there to knock it down, and getting that stuck as well.

I had a little problem with my Coquette Classic convertible last night in freemode.
Fortunately melraz was able to help me out. Better than calling AAA.

Actually, we were wearing everybody out till the last 10 minutes or so. Stayed in that room for several hours and never had any real competition.
The last 10 minutes were a different story. We were warring with 2 guys down on the beach north of the Getaway DM when 7 red dots appeared pretty much out of nowhere. It was something like 3 snipers up on the hills above us, one in a car down on the highway, two guys coming in for close combat and the one jet. I never even attempted to tackle the snipers, I just stayed under cover of the houses down by the beach. The 2 in close weren't all that good, so I probably got them twice for every time they got me. We decided discretion was the better part of valor and ran away.

I'm gonna try to get on for Titans tonight. Not sure, though. Life's been getting in the way, so I haven't played anything for a while. Haven't even got round to taking Destiny out of the box yet.
I'm really disappointed in us for not thinking of surfing the larger vehicles in missions that require them. I surfed another ambulance in freemode last week, after a guy tried to run me down in it. I love doing that.

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.

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."

We were up till 4 AM my time Tuesday night. Paid for it yesterday. Slept right through the storm last night. Woke up this morning to see the waterline in the front yard nearly made it into our house.
