Okay. For those of you who don't know, (that is likely all of you) Jarn and myself met IRL this past weekend. T'was a night of alien butt-kicking, skull-bashing and derp. With wins scattered about. It was 8-10 hours of it, only stopping for distractions like food. We mostly played Halo 3. There were several fails, a number of wins and a lot of derp. But the galaxy itself was saved, and that's all that really matters. Speaking of food, Jarn's dog is a derp. She stole my pizza while it was being held in my mouth, so I could use both of my hands to tighten her collar so she wouldn't escape from the leash like she had done two minutes prior. >:U Not to mention her attempt at showing domination, which failed btw, I proved I was superior. She tried noming me for roughly 30 minutes to an hour while Jarn played Fable II after we had finished saving the galaxy. Also, while Jarn was playing Fable, I had the opportunity to play a legit copy of DD. On a contest-won DSiXL, nonetheless. Also, sidenote. Jarn and I are mind twins it seems. Reloading at the exact same time, going after the same guys via different routes, saying almost the exact same thing, etc. ((second post to follow, with a list of our fails/wins)) |

Some of our major and a few minor fails start with the following: -Jarn suiciding on a sticky that rebounded and landed on his face -Jarn getting stepped on by the Scarab not once, twice but three times -Whenever I drove the Warthog, my marines always ended up dying. Not so with Jarn, he drove circles around the covenant and still managed to somehow keep his marines alive. -Jarn respawning over a cliff and dying once again -Jarn commenting on how awesome he is, then jumping backwards and falling off a cliff. -On legendary, Jarn and I both failed hard after failing to kill a Scarab we thouhgt was dead. We ended up dead ourselves. >_> -My momentary lapse of sniping skill involving a Hunter pair, causing waste of ammo and Jarn with both kills while freaking out with melee. -I betrayed Jarn several times. In my defense, he was in the way of my shot. -Several of the above mentioned were him getting in the way right as I was sniping someone across the map -Jarn getting smushed by a falling Scorpion -Myself attempting at killing a scarab but missing my jump of Jarn's Hornet and falling to my death, only for him to get the kill. -While I was driving the Warthog with Jarn in the back, I somehow managed to kill us both by somehow managing to flip it while on a straight path Some of our Major and a few minor wins include: -Mind twins, all night, in sporadic bursts. -One Major Mind Twin moment, I was in the Air duct, Jarn was in the hallway, we both went for the exact same brute in the exact same bathroom. I got the kill, t'was a "death from above" moment /o/ -Jarn uses Chopper. Wild Drones appear!. Jarn chooses Novin. Novin uses Warthog. It's Super-Effective. Drones fainted. Seriously, he was being eaten alive by the little guys, I ran him over and killed dem. -Hijack of the Wraith on Legendary. Had to snipe the gunner, Jarn beat down ont one but TWO Brute Chieftains with Fuel Rods, Board it and fly away to epicness. -The above mentioned Wraith was then used for further epicness. Involving the following vehicles: Chopper, Chopper, Chopper, Chopper, Chopper, Chopper, Chopper, Chopper, Wraith, Wraith, Wriath, Phantom, Phantom, Phantom, Phantom. and then two of those Phantoms turned around for a second run at us. I was in the turret, Jarn was driving. That's all I can remember at the moment. There are undoubtedly more fails and wins. At this current time, the list for fails is longer but imo, the magnitude of the wins counteracts the fail. At least on Jarn's part

EDIT: This should be moved to games. No clue why Novin didn't put it there to begin with. This actually happened TWICE. Seriously, why doesn't the game check to make sure there's solid ground at the respawn point? also, this was on the last part of "The Storm" on Legendary. for Clarification, this was on the Warthog Run. Second level (forget the name), Legendary. Slightly incorrect. I sniped out the gunner with a carbine, then ignored it because there were brutes everywhere. Eventually, after being pushed to the other side of the map, I managed to ambush the chieftain and beat him down, after which I jacked the wraith and came back to plasma mortar the second chieftan. also, this was on Tsavo Highway. There was only one phantom. I think the reason he thought there was so many was because we died several times at that checkpoint. But I did outrun it. In a wraith. And it did come back two of the times we went back to the checkpoint. -A major win he missed was when we realized that Jarn sucks at shooting, and Novin sucks at driving. So I would always drive, and he'd be my gunner. Cue epic. -Another one was in the second level with the grav-hammer chieftain. I made sure to have a plasma pistol on me, so when he charged us, I took out his shields. I then proceeded to run backwards while shooting at his head with a BR (he was chasing me) while Novin also BRed him. We won. -Another CONSTANT fail was than Novin liked to try to melee grunts I was already meleeing, thus killing me. He apparently has a large, elite shaped blindspot. >_> the times where I got sniped by him were my own fault, though. -This is sort of a mixture of win and fail. We would tend to shoot the same guys at the same time, but it resulted in us not knowing who got the kill unless scoring was on FFA, and was also less efficient than if we went after different dudes. Except on Legendary, ofc. -Another win-fail mixture: Novin once hopped on the back of a wraith he wanted to jack, and sat there as it moved erratically about, because the gunner was trying to shoot him. So I sniped out the gunner, Novin got off, and the Wraith exploded. Oops. There's more, but I can't remember them atm. Also, most of that was on legendary. Things we learned: -Jarn is good with frag grenades, but tends to stick himself with plasmas. -Novin is awesome on foot but sucks at driving. -Conversely, Jarn dies very often when on foot, but stick him in a vehicle and all the Covenant die. ALL of them. -As a result, Jarn drives, Novin guns. -Do not stand near scarabs. They will step on you. -The respawn program sometimes has issues. -Using the turrets doesn't work well on a small-ass tv. -Don't stand underneath pelicans that are dropping scorpion tanks -Jarn is a pro Wraith hijacker -Novin is a pro sniper -The best way to get drones off of an ally in a vehicle is to run said ally over with a larger vehicle -Grav lifts are fun -Don't diss the plasma pistol -We had all of the derp. ALL of it! |
