HUMPDAY CHALLENGE WITH BUNGIE!
RelentlessRecusant has corresponded with Bungie, and we have sworn to fight them in a Humpday Challenge. See the letter exchange here!

Power Cord incident - Wednesday the 7th?
Bungie was set to play Team Halopedia on Wednesday Feb 7th, 2007 but the game fell through; below is why:


 * 1) KPaul and RR agreed to meet on 8pm PST (11 pm EST).
 * 2) KPaul added RR to his friend's list.
 * 3) RR's Xbox 360 developed technical problems, and was unable to get online until 11:32 pm. RR messaged KPaul, apologizing for his stupid X360's power cord and asking if they were still online.
 * 4) The rest of the Halopedia Team and Bungie were lounging around until RR got online, but Bungie got tired of waiting and left.
 * 5) KPaul messaged RR back saying that Bungie had already left, but RR didn't get this message until after 12:00.
 * 6) The Halopedia team wasted time until after 12:00, were getting mad at Bungie for "ditching them", when actually, it was RR's Xbox 360's power cord's fault, and then left sometime after 12:00.

What's most important: RR is still in communications with KPaul, and the game has been rescheduled to sometime Wednesday night next week. Every plasma stick has a silver lining. Ehh...umm...not a very fun one, anyways. =D Yes, that was a deliberate messing up of the phrase.

I, RR, apologize for my Xbox 360's power cord, and have apologized twice to Bungie about this occurence and has offered to be slain by his fellow Halopedians. =S =D ;D

Cheers,

"Hey, Relentless, I can't accept your game invite..."

- Caboose

"Caboose, you click the big green X, go to 'community', and then 'messages'. You should see it there."

- RelentlessRecusant

"Yeah, I see it, but..."

- Caboose

"What about the disk? Where's the Gears of War disk?"

- RelentlessRecusant

"Erhm...oh."

- Caboose

"Yeah, it's kinda hard to play the game without the disk, you see...unless you expect your Xbox 360 to read it off of your head. Umm, yeah."

- RelentlessRecusant

"Yeah."

- Caboose

Round 1
Garden of Blood

The C.O.G. set out confidently from their spawnpoint. Of the two C.O.G.s, Relentless is the newer, opting for the oft-labeled "noobish" Lancer Assault Rifle. ("You can't kill shit with that, man, use the shotgun", as per one of RR's previous teammates). However, since the C.O.G.s won about 9 of the last 10 games, and RR has demonstrated a near damn-magical aptitude for the chainsaw bayonet of that venerable rifle, RR stuck with his nostalgic weapon. Tader, being more experienced, was a cross-weapons specialist: preferably sniper, but shotguns, assault rifles, and even pistols worked. Just whatever was needed to riddle the enemy with lead.

The C.O.G. sprinted to sniper spawn...secured the sniper...expecting a Locust assault...to find...dun, dun, DUN! NO ONE! RR's tactical mind was confuzzled at this epiphany, and he commanded Tader (on the sniper), to sweep the nearby balconies for tangos. No sign of enemies. RR, after several seconds of inquisitive pondering, snuck into the gardens adjacent the enemy spawn point...then to have the Locust boil outta their spawn point, waltzing their hides before the C.O.G.s and their chainsaws. Too precious to resist - the Locust had made the fatal mistake of bunkering up in their spawn point for too long.

Relentless managed to blow out the knees of one of the Locust with his Lancer whilest Tader snagged a closer Locust, chainsawing it with his carbide-tipped multiple-torque blade. RR moved to take his vulnerable prey, but Tader, interceded...stealing the kill while the Locust was paralyzed, on the ground and hemmoraging. Greedy Sith Lord. =D

Round 2
Locust on the Move

It's called...let's dig out the biology texts...operant conditioning by negative reinforcement. It means that when an animal incapable of higher intuitive processes does an action repeatedly and is punished, it soon stops doing that. (erhmm...not drawing any conclusions between the Locusts and dogs. =D) Both the C.O.G. and the Locust were readied to charge the sniper spawn, as the Locust had adroitly realized their folly of over-defensiveness. Fortunately for the C.O.G., RR was prepared.

Tader's little bro was the first to emerge at the sniper spawn balcony, so Relentless kept himself on the stairs, shooting out his knees at range. After that poor little innocent dropped down, unable to make the slightest motion and bleeding out from his femorals, Caboose came up, and nailed Relentless was fire. Her problem: RR had his aim adjusted on her knees, so even though Caboose was blowing out RR's brains, she was dropping down, unable to fight, until RR's little friend the Lancer owned her knees before Caboose could claim RR's cranium.

Two quick ceremonies to behead the fell Locusts with a chainsaw, and RR had earned his pay.

Round 3
Chainsaw Fiesta!

Drinks all 'round, my friends, to witness this carnage! Both sides violently attacked the sniper spawn. RR again stood by the stairs, sniping out his opponent's knees with his Lancer. Yet, his leading tango, Tader's little bro, danced too close to him for comfort, so RR was forced to crudely rip his entrails out with the chainsaw. Problem: Caboose was right behind Tader's little bro, so that when RR chainsawed, the ramification was that he in turn was chainsawed, and then Tader chainsawed Caboose.

What about trains and chainsaws?

Round 4
Just Returning Your Call...

Of course, now Tader and the Locust had learned RR's insidious strategy. Sever an opponent's legs, so that he may not walk, before claiming his life. Lopping off a tango's head's much harder...Tader was quick to strike, voracious for glory, sprinting ahead of RR to the sniper spawn to meet...his 'lil bro! He exacted revenge on his pesky little brother by shooting down his knees...and then said "hey" to Caboose, except she had a chainsaw, and that wasn't too fun. RR, even as late as he was, was able to saw down Caboose for the final kill in this round, murdering her after she's ridded Tader of his own life.

Round 5
Whoadamn

RR, impetuous as he was, now was the faster to sprint to the sniper spawn rather than Tader. He perilously left his teammate and his cover fire in his moldy socks drawer to score the first skill, except that he'd charged too far, and ended up in his enemy's turf, mashing the B button, dancing around with Tader's brother, both trying to chainsaw each other. RR, however, did not anticipate Caboose's Lancer. If you're getting shot, the B button works not for you, and you can't thoroughly chainsaw someone. Problematic. Especially for RR, who was killed for the second (and last) time in this particular game...and by the same mode of death: by chainsaw.

It's kinda funny how everything is so similar to another, for Tader was waiting behind RR as his guts were gnawed out, with an acuminous surprise for his little brother, and exacted fitted revenge for RR on his brother. (wow...reread that and hear how unmerciful that is. =D) Next up was Caboose, and for once, Tader's proficiency with a shotgun played a role in this match.

Caboose! At close range, shotgun pwnz assault rifle, especially if you're not used to using the chainsaw!

Enough done and said. =D

C.O.G. wins, 5-0

Introduction
Gears of War - Execution @ War Zone (?) C.O.G. v. Locust Horde - 3-1, C.O.G.

C.O.G.
 * RelentlessRecusant - Teh 133t uber-pwnzer

Locust Horde
 * Darth tader - Vengeful vanguard
 * Darth tader's little brother - Gored guerilla

Round 1
RR came into the game with the perfect assurance that he'd lose. After all, Darth tader was (supposedly =D) far superior to his puny skills, and with his gun-toting 'lil bro in tow, how could he lose?

That was the question that RR was struggling to answer as he made a quick sprint to the sniper at the far end of the Troika machine-gun emplacement, swapping off his useless shotgun for the sniper. Then, he took advantage of the conveniently nearby sandbags, taking cover and waiting for the Locust to waltz into view...that is, Tader's head. And "pop" it went. With his big brother gone, 'lil man scurried like a rodent along the adjacent line of sandbags, seeking cover. RR sent a couple of sniper shots chasing after him, sending him burrowing even further into cover.
