A bright spot on the subject of Playing....

I think everyone that got on last night had a good time when we played Multi-Team in Matchmaking. A good time was had by all.

Aw, Are you serious?!?! Dayumn! Well, maybe I'll make it as a second trip. I already made some plans for that weekend. I was going to go up and visit Chicago State, and then Wisconsin State in Milwaukee. I also had a ouple friend in Milwaukee I was going to go see, so, looks like I'm gonna have to rethink this trip.
But Jinx man, your coming in on this discussion a few days late. Can't you be just a little less, umm, harsh? I don't even know who thats directed at and it seems a bit biting. Anyways, I already posted what I was told, and the source being Omalice doesn't own a computer and Tsuki almost never uses these forums, so go ask them directly.
I thought this whole thing was all wrapped up days ago? Mayhaps I'm too much about forgive and forget , or what? I haven't heard about any thing bad happening at one of these get togethers in a week or so. They were all probably just bad luck or miscommunication, like I said to Tsuki.
Edit now that I'm home from school. I will still be going to the Tournement, just don't know the rest of the detials, I'll figure it out on my end though, you guys plan on still going up there. I'll get ahold of B0xer, that dude from Hbo, and see if he can make those dates, and if he'd want to be the fourth still. I think he lives in Akron, so it's pretty feasible, jus keep your fingers crossed

Can't we all just blame Dante and get along?

Miss you Phaedra...Come back soon...

[Incitatus]

Actually Ubercado, you should Blame krystyn.

[Tiny]

One distinction, we tease you, like Uber does to me, we don't bicker about it. At least, I don't and haven't ever noticed anyone being serious about it and sorry if anyone has.
Look anyways, I'm just posting on here again cuz I wanted to ask you guys a favor for my football team, I don't play, I'm just one of the senior Rocket Rowdies, (Kinda like Male Cheerleaders, cept we go crazy and dress up in crazy things) It's awesome, but I had a favor to ask the few of you who are reading this and are really bored. Go click on this link http://www.channelcincinnati.com/blitz5/index.html
Then go to the bottem right and vote for the Clermont Northeastern/Western Brown Wildcard Blitz five game, were down like 500 votes but if we win we get a whole news piece done on our school for the week So go vote for us! Puhleeeeease!

Hey, Guys!

Just coming here to check what's going on! It's been so long that I don't get to play or talk to any of you ... I think most of you have been talking more to my wife than me! I get to read some of your LJ's posts once in a while.

Well, I'll be trying to get back to Halo2, though not that hardcore. I've been pretty busy lately, but I should be able to play once in a while.

I hope to see some of you soon!

CROSS POST FROM [Halo 2] Machinima THREAD:

I know Matt was bummed cause his thread was getting no lovin', but after seeing all these Machinima it got me thinking.....

After all the "Drama" lately, maybe we need a project. Something, in addition to playing Halo 2, to bring beekeepers (Beekeepers and E3) back together. I give you:

Spartans 1.1

SO CALLING ALL (ILB) BEEKEEPERS AND FRIENDS BEEKEEPPERS!

Note to Friends of Beekeepers: You will need to immurse yourself in ILBs history for you to understand the idea and feel of how the and ILBs based Machinima would work. http://www.ilovebees.com is a great place to start. Contact a beekeeper for more info.

The Idea: Spartans 1.1
It's time to continute the story of Jan and Durga. Let's pick up where 4orty2wo left off, and tell the story of the Spartan 1.1s. Machinima is the perfect medium to use to do this! Of course this would have to be "Fan Fiction" as MS owns the rights to ILBs, but as long as it is considered "Fan Fiction and we don't try to make money off of it we should be ok. (Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm sure you all will! )

--If ILB was not Halo Cannon then MS shouldn't care, right??? --

Someone will need to take the lead and run with this idea, as I do not have the hardware nor the time to over see the project, but I know some of you out there are talented enough to handle this.

This would be a major undertaking and on a grander scale than the skits/Brain Ninjas that we have done in the past. It will require deadlines and expectations on a higher level and everyone will need to contribute if this is to take off.

The Spartan 1.1 series should be more on the serious side and shy away from RvB style of humor. I would consider it to be more Drama/Action with a dash of humor here and there as ILB was.

The Spartan 1.1s
My basic idea, to start, would be to pick up where ILB left off. We would need a back story of how the 1.1s acquire Mark VI MJOLNIR battle armor, and weapons. Much like the 2.0 Spartans, the 1.1s would each specialize in a certain weapons. Forgive me for not going back and looking for these, but I need your help with the names of the other 1.1s, what their code name should be, and what weapn of choice they should have.

Name: Jan
Code Name: Walkaway_Girl
Weapon of choice: Pistol? (dual or single?)

Name: Insert Real Name
Code Name: Insert Code Name
Weapon of choice: Battle Rifle

Name: Insert Real Name
Code Name: Insert Code Name
Weapon of choice: Rocket Launcher

Name: Insert Real Name
Code Name: Insert Code Name
Weapon of choice: SMGs (Definitely dual)

Name: Insert Real Name
Code Name: Insert Code Name
Weapon of choice: Sniper Rifle

Name: Insert Real Name
Code Name: Insert Code Name
Weapon of choice: Warthog Driver -- The Warthog IS a weapon --

Name: Insert Real Name
Code Name: Insert Code Name
Weapon of choice: Warthog Gunner

Jan was the only one that I know of that had a "nickname"/Code Name, so we could be creative for the other 1.1s.
The Code Name is important for idetification "on screen" as the name displayed above the person will be their "Code Name". This may mean that we have to create new Xbox Live Gamertags in order to display the Code names. People with unique names (names not containing numbers -, and are code namish) could use their current Gamertags. For instance FugitiveSolider. If anyone is interested in changing their current live gamer tag, you can do so if you call the Xbox live number, this will however mean you lose your rank in all Xbox Live games and your friends list.

For realism, I think the 1.1s should all be the same color, and that we should rely on the player icons/ displayed names for idenification of the characters. The idetification by icon may not be effective, but we can evaluate that after we get started.
The color of armor could be changed depending on the type of environment they were in. (Example: Green or Black for combat, White for non-combat situations) The change of color of armor could be incorprated into the story line. IE one of the 1.1s figured out a way to make the armor color chameleon like. or they acquired multiple colors of armor.

We will also need people to play as Covenant Elites.

Each episode could be at a different location/mission for the 1.1s in their battle with the Covenant.

Production: Spartans 1.1

Below is the list of "production crew" that we would need and my nominations of who would be good to fill those positions. Forgive me if I overlooked anyone as this is off the top of my head.

We need:

• Writers: TheBruce
  
• Cinimatographer(s): Incitatus
  
• Director(s): Incitatus
  
• Editors: Incitatus
  
• Voice actors(We should have plenty of male voices so the Females (*= Must haves) will need to step up!):
  Females = *Krystyn, *Phaedra, *Tsuki,
  Males = FugitiveSolider, Incitatus, Ubercado, Waters100
  
• Experts on all things 4orty2wo: Phaedra... (duh!)
  
• Experts on all things ILoveBees: TheBruce, Krystyn, Phaedra, FugitiveSolider, Incitatus, Weephun
  
• Actors (People to control the characters, Not always the same as the voice actors): ANYONE!
  
• Stunt Actors (People good at doing specific tricks/glicths to get to those hard to reach places/stunts):
  
• Halo Universe-ologist: (to make sure we stay true to the Halo Universe):
  

So now it's up to all of you that are interested. If this takes off we will need a secure location (chat, forum, etc) to discuss and post episode ideas.

Discuss....

That's it. Tonight I play. (waving bee flag cromakeyed in the background) And I will play stupid games with people I don't really know but like a lot. We can take back the fun.

[Tiny]

Ps, I call the driver! After Evil Canevil and the Waterworks launching I have totally proved my skills as a driver of everything but especially that beauitufl hog, so puhlease lemme have the part! I'll even play nice! Oh and you know I have the stunt thing down to :-p hehe. Sheesh, still keep missing things, but I will havea cap card soon and Mutant Squirral has one right now if any extra editing is needed.
But I do have a question, seeing as how I never got to fully listen to all the wav files thanks to computer troubles. So Mc is a Sparten 2.0 and Jans dad is a Sparten 1.0? I just ask becasue it would make more sense the the kid of 2.0 would actually be a 2.1 and vice versa.
Tj-

[fugitivesoldier]

MC = 2.0

James^2 (Jan's dad) = 1.0

Jan = 1.1


There isn't a 2.1 yet so stop looking for Halo 2's Hot Coffee mod. :p


Anyways, i'm down with a ILB machinima series.

I like the similar Icon/Coloring idea but the gamertag thing only comes up when you scope on a person.

A WORKAROUND for this is to use XBCONNECT from xbconnect.com.

This allows us to use any name we want (Profile names) and also perhaps shoot some scenes using Halo 1 and the old Mjolnir Armor....

[CoffeeJedi]

fugitive, for simplicity's sake, let's keep this in the other thread (using xbconnect would solve alot of xbox live network problems as well, but can you use headsets with it?)

[Incitatus]

Always down with an ILB Machinima Serise.
Sounds strikingly familiar in fact.

But heck yeah, i'd love to revive the 'ol spartan 1.1 concept if we can actually get the staff this time around.

And I know that many people have lost faith in my abilities thanks to the po-po vid wich stunk like a rancid [insert nasty noun here].
But don't fear, because in 3 short days, Sketch Comedy video 1 (needing a better name) will hit the waves thanks to a generous donation of server space by Regnevah/Syst.
I promise I didn't screw this one up.
