They're supposedly really good games.

I can't believe you took Lego star wars over Halo. I recently got Call of Duty 4 myself. It is pretty sweet. Now to get as good as I am in Halo and I'll be ballin' Too bad I have to change my playstyle completely to do that.

I love Star Wars. I love Legos. Halo 3 doesn't have either. It only has Master Chief (and a buncha other stuff).

I chose Lego Star Wars because I had scheduled play date with a friend's kids later that day, and they're only like 11 and 14. Most of my games are rated M (for comedic destruction and violence), so I thought I could use one more kid friendly game.

Plus, I kinda wanted the collector's edition of Halo 3, and Best Buy doesn't seem to have them any more. sad.gif

Fairly certain I saw a new one at Gamestop. So you should check your local gamestop/ebgames/whatever it's called store.

Console FPS = Fail.
PC FPS = Win.

If anyone wants to lose at some TF2 or CS1.6, let me know!

No hijacks! You get a 360 right now mister.

P.S. Sojiro sucks at Halo!! Buy Halo and beat him down. Repeatedly.
Unknown2008-01-31 12:32:33
Sojiro won't give me his gamertag! I promise to pick up Halo 3 some time in the next week or two, also.

I don't own Halo 3, but I can attest to its absolute amazingness. This last Christmas I was staying in St. Louis with a friend instead of being home for the first part of the winter break, and we had so much time on our hands that we beat Halo 3 on Co-op, then decided to finish Halo 2, which we did. I'd beaten Halo a long time ago, so I can now proudly say that I have beaten all the Halo games out.

I really enjoy computer games. Besides Lusternia I'm playing Guild Wars right now so that I can team play with some friends later, I also play Day of Defeat which, if some of you don't know, is a Half Life mod. Day of Defeat is my main commitment other than Lusternia.

If I talked more, it'd be off topic. Maybe there is a thread somewhere that I can be pointed to, so that I can talk video games.

Sojiro's just mad he's not as good as he wants to be.

That or he doesn't like playing with random teammates so he gave up. We should just form a Lusty party and play a social match.

Or you could go out and buy a good FPS for the computer. Stop sucking, Krellan.

Also, I use to play Day of Defeat for both 1.6 and Source. Source was my favorite, but I quit because I was banned from so many pubs and people always thought I cheated. Sniping that game is so easy.

I was looking over the Halo 3 achievements, and I realized that I have no clue where to find those skulls or what a "metagame" is...

What size is your monitor there, Luxi? Yeah, I thought so. tongue.gif
Unknown2008-01-31 21:46:22
22". Playing a FPS on a 50" TV would be cool, but I like mouse + keyboard way more than console controller.

I'm on every weeknight usually and more sporadically. Richter also plays a bunch too if you don't have him. forget it off the top of my head but look around for his sig and it's there.


Holycrap. I forgot that was you. I've been seeing that name pop up all the time, and didn't realize until now who it was.

Skulls are scattered throughout the game, you have to hold the bumper while you walk over it to pick them up (it doesn't instruct you to do so). One of the easiest ones to find is in Crow's Nest, in the scaffolding above where that bomb is. Personally, I only found two or three on my run through, and used the internet to find the rest. Let me know if you want help with those, or anything else.

Also, the metagame is when you have point scoring turned on. To get the required points for the achievements, you need some skulls turned on, or difficulty way up, as those are score multipliers.
Krellan2008-02-01 03:08:58
Yeah, I'm on a ton, but out of commission for a bit at the moment.

Yeah what Richter said. Metagame is just basically you press X in the lobby and you can turn scoring on where they give you points on your performance sort of.

I've been doing some of those with one of my friends. Its pretty bitchin. Rather maddening at times. Especially when my friend pushed the level-ending elevator button when I was 600 points short of the achievement, and in mid-combat.
Krellan2008-02-01 03:24:12
I found it easier to do solo.
Richter2008-02-01 06:51:30
I did too, they were all pretty easy, turn four of the easier skulls on.
Unknown2008-02-01 06:58:37
I got all the skulls by system linking with myself sad.gif and jumping on my guys head and doing wierd stuff.
Unknown2008-02-01 19:00:07
Thanks for the tips!

I just ordered the legendary edition from Amazon.com because it's now on sale for $60. I paid with my Best Buy MasterCard, too, which I find amusing (and it means I should get $30 back in rewards because it was my first real purchase on the card).

Now, what do I spend the other $95 in BB rewards certificates on? Maybe Burnout Paradise?
Acrune2008-02-02 02:05:58
Heh, I've been doing the metacampaign on normal level and 5 skulls. Mmm, 8x multiplier tongue.gif
