Halo 2 Tournament this Saturday
Description:
Halo 2 Pairs Tournament, this Saturday, 7pm central
PLEASE download the latest maps. Be aware that if your Xbox has been repaired since you last played, you need to erase the maps and download them again.
This weekend is one of the 3 ways you can apply for a Halo 3 Beta invite. If you play 3 hours of Halo 2 online sometimes Feb 1-3, and also sign up for the "Rule of 3" event on Halo3.com (the signups don't open until Feb 1st) then you stand a good chance of getting into the beta. So we're passing the time together.
This is not a serious tournament. Like the Gears tourney, it's another attempt for goodjers to have fun together. This is one day only, just show up and have a good time. Please come late or leave early if you have to. Play with your goofy sister. Flaunt your Halo non-skills. If you've been to Zombie Skate, you know that fun is the priority.
The tournament is played in pairs. You start will 1 person that you get to play with the entire tournament. If you don't have anyone, just show up and we'll get you with someone cool. We'll swap pairs out to form bigger teams.

I am going to be there so hard that I'll be there three times.
EDIT: But I still need a partner.
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
I was going to be there, but it's the same day as UFC 67 so I'll be a no show.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.

I'll be there, still need a partner though. Where is KrazyTaco when you need him?

I could do this, but I suck. A lot. And I'm having flashbacks to gym class and being the last person picked for dodgeball.

I do not like where this is going. Unless you've been a smoking hot woman with a suspiciously deep voice this entire time. Still, if that is the case I'm kicking Chiggie's butt. In Gears.
We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I ought to be able to make it. Just a word of warning, I own Halo 2, but I've never played. I got it in the 3 pack set and I never finished Halo 1. So, I'm probably going to make an a**-tacular partner. You have been forewarned.

If I get my DSL back, I'll be there. Completely out of practice and sucking hard enough to unbalance the HVAC system. But I'm so there.
7pm Central = 5pm Left Coast, right?

Well, doesn't look like I've got much of a choice seeing as my beta invite was lost on its way through the intertubes....
I keed! Beta or not, I'm definitely game.

Well unless ThinJ's xbox has came back from the grave?
I am without a partner.
I got a fever.... And the only prescription...is more cowbell!

I'm so in! After 42 days of sheer go ram bliss with various parts of my ISP pointing fingers of blame at each other in a manner reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy, I am typing to you from the untidy comfort of my own dining room. Okay, it's where normal people keep a dining room - it's where I have my lab at home. To celebrate, I'm going to go get into my PJ's, pour a glass of wine, and then start in on the insane backlog of work I have to do.
The part you might care about is that my Xbox360 is updating as we speak, and the boys are going to shake down Halo 2 for me tomorrow afternoon "just to make sure it works properly" (wow, they've managed to find a NEW excuse to avoid their chores and macrame their arses to the couch for the afternoon).
I'll be there Saturday at 5pm, Left Coast time ready to frag 'em and bag 'em.

Doh, I was planning on playing Gears with my friend to break him in to its online delights...

Ok, this is coming up fast. I'll be adding some instructions tomorrow, last minute-like. However, right now, PLEASE make sure you've downloaded all the maps. If you Xbox has been repaired since the last time you played Halo 2, you probably need to erase the maps and download them again. Thank you.

Your new avatar hurts my eyes, Souldaddy. I know you were tired of Bender, but why, why did you pick the GLBA mascot?

It reminds me of that old CG movie Beyond the Mind's Eye

Crouton and I will be there, under the banner of the "Bags of Tea". Which is what we'll be doing ... drinking tea. We plan to share our tea. It goes right in the mouth. I believe you'll find it's very tasty.

I don't like it either. Will be changing it as soon as I can find one of my old ones.

Strictly high class. We thought this would be more socially acceptable than The Scrotal Two or Taint Painters.

Your new avatar scares me for some reason. It is very jarring to see for some reason. I think it's the crazy eyes.
