Coming from the Dodge Dealers 400 race held earlier where both the Wii and Halo where represented with racing cars, the Wii put on an amazing race to finish 2nd place and what about the Halo car???

David Stremme drove the Halo car until the engine blew, and he couldn’t finish the race.

 

Put's a whole other spin on RRoD!

Lmao.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

This word "irony" ... I do not think it means what you think it means.

ROFL... seriously... ROFL!

Halo3 marketing FTW!

Now that's funny. I wonder if Halo 3 is going to fry any consoles (like several other big releases did?)

Oh, and I just have to say it - Hallo. My naeme is Inigo Montoya. Yoo keel my fahthair. Prepehre to die.

Irony - An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.

I Might be reading this wrong but isn't this what I posted? -The apparent being the engine blowing and the contrast intended was the RRoD?  Might have got the meaning all mixed up though... :(

methinks it's a bit backwards, but I could be wrong.

Due to the reliability of the 360 being, well, not as reliable as the other two consoles, something baring the 360 symbol and breaking down would be quite a coincidence.

Unless I have it wrong, ironic would be something reliable, like say a Honda, putting it's symbol on a 360 and having the 360 breakdown.

Any english majors out there can set us straight?

 

Edit: Ah, Magera ... I see my error in thought. You are right.

I was equating Halo with the Xbox brand rather than what the Halo 3 tag line is: Finish the fight.

I humbly apologize.

 

And, that actually makes it funnier

now thats just plain funny, would of been better if it was 360 car, but halo will do



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
