@bunktacular A SWF decompiler would do the trick. It's sad that a group would literally lift the entire game like that. Disappointing.

On one of my WoW characters, who I'd only played for a few months, had 22 days played on him. Had I been using him for three years, I'd have easily eclipsed this guy, and I still was going to college, had a girlfriend, etc. Putting in this type of game time as a gamer is really not that hard.

Congratulations to him though, that's amazing. I'm glad his hard work paid off.

I get what you're saying, really, I do. My friend, though, who isn't into Halo loved it because it humanized the Spartans to him. Instead of some name-taking, no emotion warrior, this showed basically that this guy was scared, even if it was the choice he made. Photos of his family, the somber setting, etc. Of course, there'll be some more action later, but the story of Reach is really depressing more than anything.

I hate all of you, as an LSU fan. I hate you all more, as we don't have a quarterback. :(

No, you have to know gaming to know load-outs weren't popularized by Call of Duty. Load outs are akin to a class system, which has been "popular" since the beginning of gaming.

I absolutely will get the Cartman version.

Because not everyone likes music based on tiny fan bases, ridiculous names, and the speed of the "metal".

They're in the business of making money. Putting popular people into a gimmick game does that.

(Warning: TL;DR)

Let me guess.

You think talent only exists in the form of blistering solos, constant double-bass, and being an unknown.

How's this? Mike Portnoy, regarded as a great drummer, cites Ringo Starr as one of his influences. "But I'm an all knowing douchebag, and I say no talent so how can this be?" you may be asking yourself. Well, this is why. Once you get past the part where you, like every other cliche music "expert", cite one of their early bubblegum pop songs, you should probably decide to listen to albums that most musicians regard as the best albums of all time? The Beatles didn't do anything amazing outside of what, let me emphasize this with caps, THEY wanted to do. Write an over the top song about death, which no one had ever really done? Check. Change their image to throw away "The Fab Four" to come back with songs that sounded nothing like before and were inventive and revolutionary as one of the first popular concept albums? Check.

You think the Beatles were good because everyone liked them? People hated the Beatles. Americans burned their albums in a religious protest. The Beatles were internationally adored in an age before you could just log-in to your new fix of music. Many people were adored for a little and then later forgotten. The Beatles have been a mainstay for almost 50 years, not because they were a bunch of no-talent cheeseballs, but because they took chances musically, lashed out at their government, and did things that other bands, who didn't last because of this, wouldn't do. They didn't care what anyone wanted but themselves, and their music flourished because of it.

You can argue that they weren't musically amazing, and no, they weren't amazing guitarists (although George wasn't bad at all), and Ringo wasn't the best drummer on Earth. You'd be right there. Compare them to the Backstreet Boys or the Jonas Bros., but you tell me with a straight face if you think either of those bands will be so highly regarded in 45 years. No.

His Twitter is priceless. He's not a semi-celebrity at all. He's one of the most marketable and high-paid players in the NFL, plus he's a beast. I think it's pretty cool that he makes his fans a part of his life by taking them to dinner and whatnot, even if he does play for the Bengals *blegh*.

Although he may not be a pro, Ocho Cinco not only plays Xbox Live a LOT, but he invites fans to play with him through Twitter almost every time.
