After a bumpy ride...

Halo Kill Compilation is finally up, after much much trouble with Sony Vegas. For some reason it was not letting me save and upload my video, so I literally had to restart this whole project a few times! Sorry for the delay but I hope you like the end product. Worked really hard on this, and it was hard to choose between the music...All of it is so damn great! I guess you can tell how impressed I am by Halo 4's soundtrack. <3 Neil did an AMAZING job. This may be the best soundtrack yet if you put aside the nostalgic feelings of the previous ones and focus on composition. Wow. I love this game. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Please submit some of your kills! I'm looking to make these videos bi-weekly (a bit shorter though) :) 


As for Halo 4, it definitely is different and difficult to compare to the previous games. Campaign wise, I have honestly never been so engaged in a Halo campaign before. The story was really captivating and had a lot more emotional ties to it than previous ones. I love how certain lines that characters' said were significant throughout the whole story as well. I loved it. I can't wait for Halo 5. 

Multiplayer wise, A LOT is different here, folks! If you haven't purchased 4 yet, here is some insight. There are "loadouts" which are much like your classes in CoD. Not saying this is bad at all, I love spawning with my DMR, active camo, bonus ammo, and sticky grenades. As you climb the ranks however, you will get better guns, but that is expected. There are no sniper/rocket spawn points on the map, however you may get really lucky to see a sniper/rocket launcher on the map rarely during the match (I mean really rarely). To make up for this, you can receive power weapons in Ordnance drops, which are exactly like care packages from CoD. You can choose from 3 options depending on the Ordnance package, but it's anything from a character speed boost, to attack boost, to grenades, to power weapons.  Players have complained about the game modes that you may play, but I mean come on, it's only been the first week, and 343 already stated that they are going to be switching out game types as well as adding more. Just this week they added SWAT and another traditional Halo variant of Slayer, so it's obvious that we will not be disappointed. 

BY THE WAY EVERYONE THE GAMERTAG IN THE VIDEO WAS ONE OF MY GAMERTAGS FROM A WHILEEEEEEEEE AGO! I got a new one about 3/4 years ago so seriously don't bother trying to add it. Just wanted to warn ya'll. Sorry :)

Finally Got the Power Back!

Sandy, you dirty whore! Sorry all, but I haven't been able to blog or access the internet for a while because of the hurricane. I just finally got power back last night. All is good. A few trees down in the area but nothing on the house or cars, and there was no flooding so I was extremely lucky. The gas lines are the only crazy thing to deal with now, and it takes about an hour waiting in the line to fill up, but I consider myself blessed to only have gasoline to worry about. A lot of people in my state have lost their homes, and could really use your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.

In other news, Halo 4 is out TOMORROW. That's right! TOMORROW! Jesus, time flies. I need to update my X-Box live membership ASAP and need to go out and get the game as soon as it's out! In a short time span we will be seeing Halo 4, Black Ops 2, and the new assassins creed. Holy GAMES! Should be keeping us all busy, no?  ;) 

Also check out the live-action Halo series. Truly awesome stuff!

Hope all of you are safe if you have been in Sandy's path. She's a bitch!

Dexter Marathon, addicted again.

I'm not much of a T.V. watcher, and I don't have Showtime, but I've been watching Dexter with my brother nonstop the past two weeks. Finished Season 5 after a long long longgggggg break from Dexter and now we're almost done with Season 6 after about 3 days. YIKES. The show is definitely great though, and very interesting.

 *PARTIAL SPOILER FOR SEASON 6: I love how Season 6 really seems to relate back to Season 1, with "artistic" kills and also bringing Dexter's brother Brian back. I just really hope they knock LaGuerta out sometime soon...she's almost equal to Skylar White at this point (I love Breaking Bad too, he he).  Still getting a little freaked out by Deb possibly having a crush on Dexter. I really hope she doesn't do anything stupid. 

Gamewise, I'm rendering a video as we speak. Link me to your personal funniest/craziest Halo kills, or just awesome Halo kill videos you have seen. I'm hoping to make this video at the beginning of next week, so send me them ASAP! You can comment here or on the video! Thanks all!

We hit 86!

Holy shit it's about time. It's my first time logging on in about a week and a half, but we finally bumped up a level. Wasn't too slow at all, considering I have barely sat down to play Mists. Did the first MoP dungeon and it was surprisingly awesome! It took you through what seemed to be a brewery, almost as if you were on a brew tour. Very fun :) Boss mechanics were extremely simple. Jump to remove stacks, kill adds, easy enough. Nothing we haven't seen before! Was also fairly short too. I think it took about 25-30 minutes-ish, but I'm not completely certain, but I know it wasn't long (trust me I'm impatient).....that's what she said. Sorry, I had to /wink

As you can see the landscapes are so vibrant in this expansion. I really what they are doing here with the detail!
I even found my new favorite spot in Jade Forest...So pretty! :D

This Weekend Will Be Dedicated to DA GAMESSSS!

I'm so burnt out studying for mid terms...I probably shouldn't even be writing on here, but I am anyways since I can't game right now. I haven't been able to really sit down and get intimate with my newly acquired Mists of Pandaria expansion ;) I have 4 85's to work on...this will be fun! Looks like I know what I'm doing all Winter Break! Haha, just kidding...or maybe I'm not? :O!

Anyways, hopefully will be making a video either this Thursday or Friday depending on my schedule and what not. I'm also looking into getting a mic for my camera orrrr a new camera in general so we will see how that goes.

Really getting frustrated with school..
when you take away da gamez from me, I feel like this:

(....I wonder if you guys hate this video as much as I do)

A Taste of Halo 4's OST...You excited yet?

2 Blog posts in one day?! Holy shit, that's a first. I'm so impressed by this track I just have to share it with you all. This brings up so many memories from Halo 3, I can't help but get a little teary. Beautiful piece.

 Time goes by so fast, I can't believe how far this
game series has come. Enjoy this. It's truly an amazing piece of music, and makes me that much more excited for the game release.

I have a feeling this is going to be the best Halo yet, and I hope it takes the thunder away from CoD for a long long time. /flex /smirk

Midterms...

So, blogging and videos might be a bit iffy this week, because this semester is really whooping my ass. My procrastination with school work is my worst enemy this semester. It's pretty bad. I want to make a new WoW video, but am trying to think of what I should do. I don't want to do class guides until a little later and more people have hit 90. I think coverage on the new BG is definitely necessary, but it will be a while before I hit 90, and I'd like to do that first :)

What do you guys want to see? Possibly something Halloween related? Possibly a Halo video? Speaking of Halo...check out one of the sickest kills I've ever seen!

Thanks all :)
