iBotPeaches Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 HBO, or Halo.Bungie.org, is probably the hardest of the Halo hardcore. Fortunately for us (we thought), they are all hardcore about terminals, fiction and zany gametypes. Frank said Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?â??beating the old men of HBO would be effortless.Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã? DURR DURR DURR HBOGuy who runs giant Internet hosting technology and is therefore HOST of these games Ã?¢ââ??‰â?¬Å?

Shishka First, the caveats: Beating Bungie and Friends this week is the equivalent of beating up a wounded old lady as she tries to pull herself across the road. FrankieÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s wrist is still in a cast and Lars is out sick, in fact, youÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ll see while inevitably watching the films, pointing, laughing and snickering, that we accommodated FrankÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s injury by having him hold the ball in Game 1 of this weekÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s Humpday Challenge. Second, you can watch all of this weekÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s Humpday Challenge in Bungie Favorites available on both Bungie.net and in game. Third, the beatdowns. Game 1Team Slayer, ConstructTone of Game: Frantic Game 1 of the Humpday Challenge had the 8 of us venturing off to Construct for a round of Team Slayer. Aside from some excellent issues I had with the map and jumping off of it, this game was a rigid and taut battle of expert forces (read: a grimy, slippery mess). I am pretty sure I muttered a few times about missile pods and flame throwers and some of those mutterings were probably littered with expletives. We rode Shishka like a pony to victory, though. http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/uploads/remoteimages1/1718-799.jpg Final Score: 50-47 Game 2 Team Oddball, EpitaphTone of Game: Fortuitous KP, formerly of Bungie Studios and now of Xbox.com and supported by a herum of female superfans, is apparently someone with a soul purchasable for the low, low cost of 30 pieces of silver suggested this map and gametype for one reason and one reason alone. Was it because he likes Epitaph? No, he probably does Ã?¢ââ??‰â?¬Å? but he selected it because of a single corner of the map that is insanely defensible with the ball and thereÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s only one way in. ItÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s like the Death Star and the only way was through a trench. Unfortunately for KP, Frankie, one-armed tactician that he is, already knew what was up. We stayed in one spot, we camped and we dominated. Enjoy the single most boring film in the history of Halo 3 in Bungie Favorites. http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/uploads/remoteimages1/1718-800.jpg Final Score: 100-1 Game 3 Team King, GuardianTone of Game: Newb-friendly It is written so here, so it will be done henceforth. If you want to play Bungie in Team King of the Hill, we welcome the challenge, but you will NOT be starting with grenades and respawn timers will be set to 10 seconds so that there is a modicum of skill involved. Spawning and spamming grenades a gametype that measures skill does not make. And thatÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s what the Humpdays are about, measuring skill. THEY ARE NOT ABOUT FUN. In fact, I think IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢m going to make BRs and ARs as the starting weapons going forward. In short, we lost.http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/uploads/remoteimages1/1718-801.jpg Final Score: 150-96 After those three Humpday games were over, we granted a friendly rematch to the HBO folks and Iscariot on Construct. Lars was coughing spittle into a can for the first half of the game, Frank was playing one-handed and Shishka, well, he just has no excuse. We lost the exhibition match 50-36. Exhibitions, like college, are for experimentation! http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/uploads/remoteimages1/1718-802.jpg
