No. 16 ... so basically you are saying that you don't like the other stat whores in ranked games and are unable to have fun with friends in private matches?

Because Halo isn't a child-care experience for me when I stick to playing with my friends in private games. But I guess the man is keeping me down.

And No. 8 ... don't you think that's a tad dramatic?

It's just a sweatshirt. Every apparel company in America is playing to a demographic. Just as Hot Topic is playing to the still-living-with-their-mom LOTR/emo sterotype, I'm sure the style of clothes you buy were carefully test marketed to pass your uber-cool requirements. It's all relative.

And you giving up on Halo because you don't like the company's targeted demographic in regards to marketing is akin to saying "I used to listen to that band before they were mainstream. They suck now. And so do you for listening to them."

Well, it's the only physical piece of merchandise related to Halo 3 that you can currently own. And what is different about buying something from Hot Topic and something from Bungie's store?

I have one of the hoodies. What can I say ... I'm a whore. Although I don't look nearly as emo as that dude.

Well, it really speaks volumes about the editorial staff at 1UP. I work as an editor at a newspaper and that story is poorly written and never would have seen the light of day, regardless of the uninformed opinion.

This just seems like they posted it without reading it, which is easy to do in an online world where everything is just a cut-and-paste away.

Whether or not they are catering to a pissed-off publisher remains to be seen.
