Halo 3 All Nighter FTW

The task at hand was simple in theory - complete legendary from start to finish in one sitting.  Digilearner rounded us up a team of members from 360friendspot which included him, myself, Johndg, and Tommy Da Gip.  Unfortunately Tommy had other obligations and couldn’t be our fourth gunner.  Just when we thought we were going to be a 3 man show ReaperHybrid joined the party making us complete.  Reaper all ready finished the story, and I am close to the end myself - but both on lower difficulty levels.  John and Digi had only played the first chapter in the story thus far.

We figured while we were at it we might as well collect those pesky glowing skulls along the way - and for the most part we did great at it.  Unfortunately as the night went on you could see that fatigue was starting to set it, we all were discussing the next skull that had to be collected after finishing off a scarab - but after finishing him we just kept going completely forgetting the skull. 

Reaper and myself finally got to the point that we needed to get some sleep - before we had to face the attack of our wives in the morning, but we said we would go at the end of the current chapter (6 for those of you keeping track).  Of course, because we had planned to leave at the end of this chapter, for the first time we actually started having difficulty surviving, it seems like we all just kept getting destroyed over and over, and we were never going to finish.  I blame the fatigue, keep in mind this was the 3rd night in a row that I was up till 3-4AM playing and the kids are always up at 8am at the latest.

Finally we finished up the chapter, but unfortunately not the fight - hopefully we can get the team together again later tonight and finish it up - legendary style.

 PS. Sorry you missed it tommy!

Attention Bungie / Microsoft - Halo 3 Advertising Space Available

So most of the people know me, know that I am no stranger to tattoos, and on my way into work I was thinking about the week long celebration for Halo 3’s release.  Now I know that some might think there is no room for another Halo 3 advertisement with things like Halo 3 Slurpees, Game Fuel, Halo 3 Accessories, Halo 3 Console, Halo 3 Commericials, Halo 3 Zune, and much much more - but I beg to differ.

As you can see in the tattoo pictures, my left arm and a small portion of my right leg has been claimed - but I have plently of other marketable space for halo 3 advertising - please contact for location and pricing rates. :-)

Play Halo 3 Now….Get Wacked by the BANHAMMER!

 

Fanboy is reporting that if you play halo 3 before the street date you will be banned from xbox live. Even playing the game while not connected to xbox live will get you a ban, the time a game is played is logged by your console and next connection to live will get your account banned.

Of course at theliveeye.com we have a few members that have been playing Halo 3 since 9/17, some of which are online now…..so whens this ban hammer coming?

Just looking at the Xbox.com forums you can see there are ALOT more people than we are tracking playing the game as well.

Let’s not forget early copies are sent out for review often so are they going to filter these out of the ban list - or are game reviewers going to get the banhammer for doing their jobs?
