  1. Yeah, that achievement only requires that you switch back and forth once per level. You don't have to do a full playthrough of the level in each mode.
  2. That's not plagiarism at all, and in fact you could use the quote entirely unchanged and it still wouldn't be plagiarism. People say similar things all the time. Even the quote in my sig is like that. It's a quote I came up with, not a line from any character or author I know of, but would it be hard to find someone else who said the same thing? Not at all. You're fine, go for it.
  3. Finally saw Resurrection F. It was pretty fun.

  4. I actually wonder at times why people lock their status updates.

  5. So don't get a camera "just" for that. Get it now, and keep using it for other stuff later on. Don't break it.
  6. Don't smash your webcams then. And get a camera of some sort. I'm starting to think the reason you're not posting a picture is because you're actually a lot younger than you say you are.
  7. Grow your hair out, spike it up, walk into a room full of people and say you're the prince of all Saiyans.
  8. Bashing everything while knowing nothing these days, aren't we, Caboose?
  9. I can't say. If I say one game is easier than the others I tend to do horribly the next time I play that game. Dunno, it just makes me subconsciously drop my guard apparently. So I won't outright rank their difficulty, but I could post my total death count for each campaign on my last solo legendary count. Halo CE - 19 deaths Halo 2 - 21 deaths Halo 3 - 13 deaths Halo 4 - 19 deaths Make of that what you will. I treat all the games as though they have equal difficulty and this was the result.
  10. I am incredibly surprised Fishy hasn't been MoM yet. Great job, Fishy.
  11. Huh. Nice poem. I'm gonna be honest, I find this sort of thing kinda silly. But hey, the poem was good. And regardless, good luck with...whatever it is you're doing.
  12. LOL. That was a funny surprise. I think it's sensible though. Traditionally, voting to lynch no one isn't even an option in Mafia. It got added in later for some reason.
  13. I'm not even in this game but I think some people are forgetting that Protown's had to take a few blind shots to clear things up every time they've ever won a game.
  14. Space for ammo is an issue though. If we had any more rockets than the game allows, and it actually showed reserve ammo on your Spartan or Elite's body like it shows your secondary weapon, we'd have to have some sticking out of our rear ends just to store it all.
  15. What made you decide to take on The Director from RvB as your persona here?
  16. First Caboose is poop, and then Ash is staff. Quite an interesting week we've got here. Congratulations, by the way.
  17. Well, I missed my own team's victory, but I'm glad we won all the same. Sorry about my absence. My status update explains it.
  18. Huh. Didn't know you could harm Regret from a distance with rocket-level weapons. But unless you can blow him up in 3 rockets or less on Legendary, that's not very useful information for me. My point is though, with the exception of the Heretic Leader, the boss fights are entirely fair to a first-time player even if their first run is on Legendary.
  19. Saipan's internet was down the past week. It was entirely cut off from the rest of the world. There's now a shaky connection, stable enough that maybe this explanation can go through. But I won't be fully back for at least 10 more days. Apologies to everyone this has inconvenienced, especially in Mafia.

      Hope to see you around here soon. :)

      oh my be safe.

  20. Halo 2* They were a nice touch but could have been better. Definitely not "bad" or "boring."
  21. Johnson's random dialogue is repeated quite often. That's bossfight-specific dialogue, only indistinguishable if you weren't paying attention for most of the game. It also kinda makes sense to keep your eyes on the enemy, so you can see that very clearly if you're playing properly. Actually, you can drop his shield with a beam rifle of your own. I've done it. So it's quite consistent that his shield can only be dropped by a beam rifle. Also the fact that his shield will drop after only 3 direct hits of Beam Rifle (could be more if the player's doing it, but it's still a beam rifle) when infinite amounts of anything else does nothing makes it clear that the Beam Rifle is the only thing that brings them down. I understood the mechanic in the fight against Tartarus within two minutes and won on my first try without dying, when my first try was solo Legendary. So from experience, the fight with Tartarus is entirely fair, if a bit drawn-out. The fight with the Prophet of Regret I'm inclined to say is a bit unfair because it's very much luck-based. But actually, Cortana tells you that your weapons are doing absolutely nothing and that you need to get in close as soon as you shoot him a few times. Conventional melees not working shouldn't have to be explained. Seemed pretty obvious to me that the only way to hit him was from inside his throne's shield where you don't impact the shield at all, which meleeing him conventionally most certainly is not. It's certainly the most clear bossfight with regard to what you should do, but the execution part is luck-based to a ridiculous degree. If an Elite just happens to spawn in a certain place, you will most likely die. And the death is for certain if he's a dual wielder, though the Anniversary version fixes that part.
  22. My first run of H2 was solo Legendary, and as such, that's what I was referring to when I made that statement.
  23. Well, to be fair, in the fight with Tartarus, Johnson will outright tell you how to beat him. "His shield is down--let him have it!" And Tartarus does provide you with an audio cue to confirm that shooting him after Johnson downs his shield is the way to beat him. He says "A lucky hit. You'll not land another!" That makes the Tartarus battle fairly straightforward, and quite easily survivable on your first try if you play it right. In fact, I did survive it on my first try. A bad boss fight by your definition would probably be the fight with the Heretic Leader. Against Tartarus you received the aforementioned tips. Against Regret, Cortana tells you to get in close and see what you can do, and if you follow this, the game will outright tell you: press X to board, press B to melee. His screams confirm that it's working. But against the Heretic Leader, you are by no means informed that his holo-drones are infinite, or of the method to keep track of the real one. You aren't even informed that you need a sword, camo, and the method to keep track of the real one in order to beat the boss without dying. Now, I have on multiple occasions beaten this boss without dying but the fact remains that on my first try, such a feat was outright impossible. That boss fight was a horrible experience the first time around.
