Going. Going. Gone.

Two words: Halo Marathon. I'll be back sometime next week. I know it isn't a long time, but I wanted to give all the people I'm playing with a heads up. And since I have so many active threads, I thought it'd be more economic just to post one notice rather than PM a bunch of different people. Love ya guys and see ya soon!

Did you win the Round 3 ODST tournament GameStop was having? I heard we were sending our Round 3 winners to New York or something, even though the store I work at only hosted a Round 1 tournament for the people in our area.. We aren't special enough to host a Round 2 or Round 3.
Will just wait for you to come back for your reply.. obviously.

Good luck!

Wow. I'm surprised anyone here even knew about that! :D

Unfortunately, I bombed a match later on in Round 2 on Friday night so I didn't make it to Round 3 (I think that takes place this Friday, actually). I was this close to moving on, but the guy I went up against was a jerk and screwed up the last minute or two of our match. The winners from Round 2 now get to head on up to Round 3, and the winners from Round 3 get to go to New York (this December, I think) to compete for a $5,000 grand prize.

... But I did get a spiffy license plate frame and cool survival-tool thing for advancing to Round 2, and my friends took me out from Sat. to today to make up for my loss :) We watched Pandorum and played Halo all weekend so its all cool.

You play Halo much?

I hate Halo. But the graphics for ODST aren't bad. And I fancy turning gravity way down in the sandbox. That's about it.

I work at GameStop.
I had to work the 3-4 hour tournament.
We were playing with that stupid multi-tool all week and I think the guy who got the "My Other Car's a Warthog" plate ended up giving it to us and we were frisbeeing it around the parking lot or something.

However, we really liked the guys we sent on to Round 2, they were all well-known customers and come into the store a lot and hang out with us, so we're hoping they have a good time and move on.
Although, you know, $5000 doesn't really seem like much after all the money I'd likely have already spent on, you know, food and stuff. I'm still thinking there's a catch.

...And I took the ODST stand-up from our store home, against my better judgement. >__> He's taped onto my wall, next to the guy from Brutal Legend, Alex Mercer, and Arthas. God I'm a nerd.

In response to the vid: guilty as charged xD

Halo was the first game that actually got me into video games. Until that point, I'd play something on occasion at a friend's house and never quite payed any attention to what it was I was playing. Now its a huge chunk of my gaming pleasure :P Along with a few other FPSs and RPGs.

Well, do you at least like working there? Unfortunately they weren't hiring when I applied, so I've been relegated to housekeeping. Right now jobs are a bit limited :\

There probably is a catch. I'm assuming that's one reason why it wasn't so heavily advertised. The only reason I knew of it was through the grapevine: a friend of a friend. Nevertheless, it was fun to meet new people into Halo, and to have an excuse to go gaming last weekend.

Way to be a nerd :) I've wanted to play Prototype, but haven't gotten around to it yet. As for the other two, eh, not really into either Brutal Legend or WoW.
