  1. Congrats, Edward! Though I prefer Omega. It's just what I knew you better as.
  2. Congrats on the promo, and good luck on the job! moar customs for everyone!!!! Maybe this'll herald the come back of the 9AM EST-esque customs that everybody always joined back in the day. Although, the great, infallible Customs King is still.....not here. Sad reminder. Still, always towards the future!

      I dunno. A lot can happen in 5 days from now. What are you looking for?

    2. Sadly Just AL
  4. Okay, I'm going to have to break up the chain of congrats posts here by doing a bit of a 'review'. I mean, congrats to Mayh3m and Lucky Me for winning, and good job to everyone (Because yes, you guys DID do a good job), but I felt as though each and every piece have a few issues that could be improved on, which is basically what I'll be iterating on in this next post. Do note, all of this is my opinion, and in this 'review' I'm doing it from a single basis and standpoint - that everybody could have done the same thing. Yes, skill level is different but that is something I'll be ignoring, simply because I can't judge it. Furthermore, I acknowledge that some of the programs are worse than others - for example, older software, or free software, may not render the image as well as paid software. (And if I were to specify, I would say that Mayh3m's software from Adobe rendered images the best) However, I'm still not cutting any slack. I'm writing this hoping that it'll help everyone fix the issues faced in the future, but not necessarily to praise you about what you did well here. It's constructive criticism, and if you don't like it, that is fine. The only reason I write this post now is because I think constructive criticism will be good support for everyone, including me. The following are done in order of the way they were posted in the submission thread. Edward Kenway Submission #1 UNSC Spartan-II Submission #1 Mayh3m submission 1 Mayh3m submission 2 TDM Submission 1 TDM Submission 2 TDM Submission 3 JL's submission UNSC Spartan-II submission 2 Halo5willbecool's submission Mayh3m submission 3 Sikslik7's submission To sum up the basic problems that I think I see, it is that: 1. There's a lot of times when people simply copy purely the 'Spartan' or the 'Monitor' or the 'Ship' but doesn't copy it's surroundings. This leaves both a bad looking border around the copy, as well as messes up with the depth cues of the image, which then leaves our brain wondering what the frick we're looking at. 2. Balancing the number of objects. On one side of the image, quite a few things in the foreground, on the other side, pure background. Also applies to color and lighting. 3. Rendering. I'm fairly certain that apart from Mayh3m's use of Adobe Photoshop C3, all the rendered images do not look as clean and crisp. All these come together to basically decrease the professionalism in the images. It is this decreased professionalism that then lowered the worth of using the images as a front cover. Personal evaluation: Next time, use adobe ============== Now for some happier stuff, congrats to Mayh3m for his success on the FB page photo, as well as a hefty good-job to everybody who participated. It's nice to see everybody give it a go, and yeah, as Ranger said, surprising (But lucky! I've seen firsthand what they can do) that the Art Department, or Insignia, didn't input their own works.
  5. Shouldnt you put chapter two in the same thread?
  6. I suggest that each time you go to a new paragraph, press tab for spacing. It helps the eyes, and emulates the writing style of a book.
  7. I would like for a halo wars play date again sometime. That game really is fun.
  8. The guy who the player controls, because even though he dies the universe always reverts so he lives
  9. Campaign was far too linear for me to exactly enjoy it. It did have its epic moments but most of those didn't encompass the core gameplay of Halo as an FPS. Storyline was ok. Interesting to see a Forerunner, humans, etc. but what I really wanted to see was some of the social impact of the Chief upon the military. I mean, he's a hero - YOU are the hero, and the first thing that gets said to you when you return to the people whose lives you saved is 'thought you'd be taller'? Didn't enjoy it as much. Hate the cliffhanger-ish ending for the Chief that isn't really tied up in Spartan Ops or the books.
  10. Try to delete and reinstall Spartan Assault from your Xbox 360.
  11. Too bad the time zone is unsuitable for me. Maybe next time.
  12. Whoop, I'm stupid. I should have 3 on the scoreboard but forgot to add it after I got VF's riddle. If the last person who posted the scoreboard could edit my error that'd be great. Thanks!
  13. Anyone played hacked games? Those are fun, and their stories usually more fulfilling and mature than the normal 10+ games made.
  14. Grizzlies? Also, your riddle contradicts itself alot.
  15. Crimson white blurs the sky Burns the wall Throws you high Weapon of might What am I
  16. Personally I think if I was playing an FPS, especially one as fast paced as Titanfall, on a PC, I wouldn't dare use a controller.
