If anyone wants to save $10 on the Halos
Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Sep 21st 2009 1:43PM
I can tell you an even better way, where you can save $50.99 ;)
Besides, didn't they kill you already:

Heh @ Sep 21st 2009 2:07PM
Picking ODST up tonight. If anyone wants to shoot some shit with me in firefight or campaign, add me: P4nic 4tt4ck
I'll be renewing my live tonight aswell, so ignore the silver status. PLEASE tell me you're from joystiq, though, I get a ton of random requests daily.
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 21st 2009 2:20PM
i wont get it at midnight but i will tomorrow, im Mandalorian63, also tell me if you're from joystiq casue i can barely remember my IRl friends
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Sep 21st 2009 2:28PM
You can add me - I'm "dark inchworm" - but it won't do you any good since the DVD drive is borked and I barely have time to play anything anyway. haha
And thank you for that, heh; I had forgotten which of those fellows was you >.>
xFenixKnightx @ Sep 21st 2009 3:02PM
Buy teh Haloz...ODST!!!1ONE!!!UNO!!
Tonight, I shall be online! But not for that long since I didn't take the day off tomorrow. =( Saving my time for Uncharted 2 and MW2. Anyone know if your rank and all that will carry over from H3 MP?
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 21st 2009 4:23PM
I've already added some Joystiq friends in prep for ODST.
Hit me up: PullingADrifter
erivera3 @ Sep 21st 2009 5:26PM
My gamertag is "Ebase131", I'm up for cod4/cod5/halo3/halo3 odst anytime, so add me if you are interested!
I'll be beating the campaign cooperatively on Legendary difficulty starting around midnight tonight, see you guys there!
Ample Salty @ Sep 21st 2009 1:35PM
What is the name of the enemy in that screenshot? I have been trying to convey my annoyance with them but I have no clue what they're called.
Waiting for ODST to come out so I can have some people to play with. Got my copy early and didn't want to start the story on my own.
I'll pick up Pinball too when I get some points.
Demerge @ Sep 21st 2009 1:39PM
enemy is caled a hunter. odst tonight!
Porker @ Sep 21st 2009 1:39PM
Hunter
Ample Salty @ Sep 21st 2009 1:46PM
Ah, Hunter. Cheers.
On my foray into Firefight I had a hell of a time dealing with them. Then I ended up getting a Fuel Rod Gun and managed to dispatch them in two shots.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 21st 2009 1:35PM
Halo and Backspacer. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day.
Paul @ Sep 21st 2009 1:39PM
actually i noticed yesterday that the pearl jam album (along with each individual song) is already available on the marketplace. don't know if its an error or not.

Wardo @ Sep 21st 2009 1:39PM
OSDT for me this week. I wanted to check out Spyborgs too but I just can't afford it right now.
Wardo @ Sep 21st 2009 1:40PM
*ODST
[ArchiGamer] [Nominated for Three Glemmys] @ Sep 21st 2009 2:01PM
For a second there, I thought you were talking about a new STD....
Wardo @ Sep 21st 2009 2:19PM
Maybe I was, Maybe I wasn't.
Archon (PSN: Archonik, XBL: DarkARHN) @ Sep 21st 2009 1:40PM
Might pick up Zombie Apocalypse if it's anything like Crimsonland. Anybody played this gem of a game? One of the most addictive PC games of all time, IMHO.
Dirty @ Sep 21st 2009 2:04PM
I think a lot of people are someone interested in this zombie game. Could be a sleeper hit on arcade. We need more two stickers. I grew up on smash tv.
psychohog @ Sep 21st 2009 1:40PM
Hmmm, isn't the Left 4 Dead DLC out this week? Also, isn't the Brutal Legend demo out this week too?
Obie @ Sep 21st 2009 1:54PM
Yeah L4D Crash course should be out this Wednesday, but I guess there hasn't been a press release yet.
MystileArmor @ Sep 21st 2009 1:42PM
Still working my way through Half-Life 2. Got into playing TF2 last night, although I know it's not as well supported as the PC version, I'm enjoying it alot.
Probably will play some of whatever I can with my buddies, since I've been ignoring them lately a bit, since I'm in the middle of setting up my own company.
MystileArmor @ Sep 21st 2009 1:47PM
Just to clarify, I know it's not WRUP, but there really isn't anything to peak my interest this week, so this is what'll keep me busy till something does release I might pick up.
RANDOM G [XBL: NYMZ777, PSN: NYMALICIOUS] @ Sep 21st 2009 2:25PM
Chubby Scandinavians don't like Halo, apparently.
MystileArmor @ Sep 21st 2009 2:43PM
Calling a fat little german boy "scandinavian" is like calling a person from England "japanese"
CaramelZappa @ Sep 21st 2009 4:08PM
You hadn't played HL2 yet? Shame on you!
RANDOM G [XBL: NYMZ777, PSN: NYMALICIOUS] @ Sep 21st 2009 6:15PM
close enough
Levi @ Sep 21st 2009 6:58PM
If you're playing HL2, don't stop at the end of the main game. It gets more interesting with Episode 1, and Episode 2 is by far the height of the series since the first game. I am in such anticipation for Ep3... The end of Ep2 really ... well.. it's awesome.
Jack Hollow @ Sep 21st 2009 1:43PM
I thought Katamari Forever was released last week. I bought it this past Saturday... I am perplexed. Maybe I went into the future without realizing it.
abelpc @ Sep 21st 2009 1:48PM
retailer probably put out early... shame on them.. good on you!.. haha
Jack Hollow @ Sep 21st 2009 2:03PM
@abelpc
Indeed. It's great fun. Oh that King of All Cosmos and his shenanigans.
jaaaaaaaaaaames @ Sep 21st 2009 1:47PM
halo 3 odst and the left 4 dead dlc which they didnt release im sure its out this week tho...
xIvSlowDeath420 @ Sep 21st 2009 1:49PM
I thought Broken Steel hit this week and Op Anchorage and the Pitt next week
Ballistic H @ Sep 21st 2009 1:48PM
And I thought gamers were boycotting ODST because it's full price for an "expansion". And no I'm not talking about Left 4 Dead 2.
baby sea tuna @ Sep 21st 2009 2:38PM
I don't think that actually ever happened.
gAMER324 @ Sep 21st 2009 1:53PM
ODST WILL BE CRAP COZ THE MULTI PLAYER IS THE SAME AS HALO 3 WITH A NEW MODE DONT BOTHER BUYING IT. ITS POINTLESS.
Bradwart @ Sep 21st 2009 2:03PM
You are a moron! -1!
Stop buying Guitar Hero, then. All they change is the tracks.
[ArchiGamer] [Nominated for Three Glemmys] @ Sep 21st 2009 2:05PM
I only laughed because you're an idiot. Ah, funny.......
PedoJokerBear [Planeteer | Power of Gall Bladder] @ Sep 21st 2009 2:12PM
well you look like every other mario avatar on here. HOW BOUT DAT!?
Autobot @ Sep 24th 2009 7:42PM
Haha, you are an idiot.
Meh @ Sep 21st 2009 2:05PM
Am I the only one waiting for Order of War? This game is gonna rock!
Danimal @ Sep 21st 2009 1:57PM
Doesn't the Forza 3 demo come out on Thursday 24th?
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/11/forza-3-goes-gold-demo-hits-marketplace-on-sept-24/
[ArchiGamer] [Nominated for Three Glemmys] @ Sep 21st 2009 2:00PM
Ugh, looking at the Wii and DS releases is like being stab to death....ugh.....
Bradwart @ Sep 21st 2009 2:05PM
Looks like the only thing that has potential is TPiR 2010. But I like the iPhone version better.
Dirty @ Sep 21st 2009 2:05PM
Its like wondering into the kids section at Barnes and Nobel.
Markez @ Sep 21st 2009 2:07PM
I'll admit Where's Waldo might be a fun diversion, and that potentially TMNT game could be decent. But it's basically vomit inducing. Projectile vomit inducing.
Bradwart @ Sep 21st 2009 2:19PM
Naah, I was thinking explosive diarrhea.
[ArchiGamer] [Nominated for Three Glemmys] @ Sep 21st 2009 4:50PM
"Let me guess, you picked out yet another colorful box with a crank that I'm expected to turn and turn until OOP! big shock, a jack pops out and you laugh and the kids laugh and the dog laughs and I die a little inside."
Markez @ Sep 21st 2009 2:06PM
Man, I'm real disappointed with the reviews that Katamari Forever has been getting. Maybe I won't be picking that up afterall :(
