The name Zombie Skate is so fitting... because you just can't kill the damn thing. It hungers...

I'll have to be there, of course. You'll need someone to live at the bottom of the scoreboard, to drive the warthog off the bridge and into the building, or to referee the paper-rock-sissors matches.

Man, why always Wednesdays? As with before, I can be on by around 10PM PST, or a little after. Hope you guys are still around, then. If, of course, I can get XBL to stop being a herpes-infested whore, and connect.

Morro, I may try and check in late and see if you're on. I get up early though, so I can't be on much past 11:00 PST.

Sahweeeet! I think I'll be able to make this one. Can someone in the GWJ Clan add me to their friends list?

In Ultima Online I used to poison hams and leave them on the ground in cities for people to pick up and eat. I can't believe how many people thought street ham was a good thing to eat. -Elliottx

Yay some fun zombie loving.... Oops I mean killing, or do I? Yes I do.... So as soon as I get home from work I'm in. Hell I think I'll play a little right now.

I think it's also "Yoyoson" but I'll have to check to be sure.

Would anyone be up for some Halo 2 Tuesday? I actually have that day off.

It's alright, because, every time a zombie teabags you and you get that first whiff of Chai and formaldehyde with your last dying breath...I'll be there. In spirit. Like a ghost. Only, you know, more symbologilically-like.

Most people go for the abbreviation UA, but Scritch has an interesting ring to it. Not quite itch, not quite scratch, but the smooth sound of relief as one relieves the other publically.

Will it be possible and/or permitted for me to bring in a 2nd player on my xbox and do split screen, for this event?

I'll be trying out Halo 2 on Live later tonight. I actually haven't played any Halo 2 in 6 or 8 months, and never on Live, so it'll be interesting. For all the seven year olds capping my sorry self.

My Live name is, unoriginally, unntrlaffinity.

I'd love to start playing H2 again, but I don't get out of work until Midnight, EST. If a few west coast folk are still kicking, since I know the rest of my east coast brethren need to get back on their oxygen by 11:30, I'll get on for a few rounds.

We had some good Tuesday Night Halo action tonight. Thanks to Scritch, ZeroKFE and his wife, Trashy, *Legion*, Logan, Coldforged, Swampy and Mr. Green for dropping by. We'll get some more Halo on tomorrow night. BRAINS!!!

Oddly enough, playing on the 360 had no perceptible effect on my lack of ability. I am truly a moving target drone.

This makes it sound like Trashy is his wife. Which he was, on Foundation! Oh burn!

Remember that time we whupped that red team on team slayer on Headlong? Man, their assault rifles must have been broken or something, because they were just awful. We were amazing though...amazing.

For the record, Zero's wife is called "Schmoona" on live, which has to be the coolest gamertag ever. She's also pretty good. Plus, It's fun to say. I was shouting "Schmoooooooona!" like Marlon Brando all night!

Having to download the damned maps I hereby term "Teh Suck." I really thought I had already done that on the 360 but apparently not. By the time they were all done, it was time to head to the matress. Some of us have to work, ya know.

Did I hear the dulcet strains of "more tonight"?

EDIT: Oh, today is Wednesday. I lose all track of time when I'm a bachelor and all the Goodjers show up a day early for Halo. Huzzah.

I just realized that I haven't played Halo since the last widely attended Zombie night... April of last year, I think... I'm gonna be even suckier than before...

I haven't played in forever. I'm so not used to playing Halo on the 360 controller, and I totally forgot that left trigger is for grenades. Maybe I'm too used to CoD2 but I kept hitting right bumper for grenades, getting the impotent microphone click sound, realizing that it's the left trigger, hitting the left trigger and dying because I hesitated too long. Elaborate sighing ensued.
