Yup, that's collosus.

So I asked him to put on a mic, but he did not. Thus, I made a few remarks to him but never had a conversation. I then told him to Youtube "DoorM4n tortuga" and promised him a Halo 2 video. Whether he did it or not, who knows, but I also sent him a message congratulating him on the MCC. :P

It just seemed appropriate at the time to tell the director about the mods I've made of his baby Halo 2. :lol:

That's awesome Doorman! I am jelly :lol:

By the way, I got and Xbone and MCC, a bit disappointed the game is full of bugs, clearly they rushed it for release and didn't test it properly, but the matchmaking has been improving at least and this week's patch should fix a lot of stuff hopefully :)

Add me on XBL so we can play all together!

Also, whats the deal with Halo 5? That game blows so much. I might have officially purchased my last Halo game--Halo MCC.

So I downloaded and installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview on a 25GB partition, and I gotta say, I really like it so far. All of the metro apps and interfaces exist, but they run on the desktop now. If you have a touch display, and you like the full-screen start screen, you can tell it to use the Windows 8 style Start Screen, otherwise its a hybrid of the Windows 8 and classic Windows start screen. Here are some pictures.

I read somewhere that they skipped 9 because of potential error from lazy code for checking for Windows 95 or 98. I can't be certain that its the reason, but oh well.

First one is another form of filtering for textures that is way less blurry. The second one is a bit more interesting. It is blending modes or whatever that's called. All this shit is from spas.

Finally got to start the Halo 2 Anniversary today and I was not disappointed. It plays exactly like the original only with better graphics =)
I couldn't help but jump around in the game like I do when I'm checking out an area for modding lol.

However, matchmaking appears to be dead as the original which is not so good...

I can't really tell the difference between the blur ones, other than the change of detail on the ground. The other makes me think it's time for SHADER SWAPS 2.AWESOME!! Neodos worked for a long time to get the blur effect from campaign into multiplayer. Not sure if that's what you're onto, but it would be cool if you have made some hay at that.

I also have a special interest in darkness / flashlight mods, and a nice dark blue overlay on everything might be a really quick way to sell the vibe.

I love this game. So exciting to see new developments.

Nice dude! Do you have Modo to pair? I've heard you can get some indie edition on steam for a bit cheaper than the normal price. You should check it out, also you should display your winning entry here.

Life has been fucking nuts. I moved metropolises, temporarily withdrew from school, started a new job, and beefing up my resume.

Im working 13hr days and in charge of a team of four people--damn, its busy.

Hope you fellas are doing well! I gotta make sure I touch base with you guys from time to time!

I feel ya man; started a company with my dad last year and have been working silly ever since. But ironically I want to go back to school now. Especially since I expect to see a slowdown this year because of the change in oil prices.
