It must be that time of year again where we will see the same rotation of pictures circulate the front page at least once a week... This is the third time. My only regret is that I can only downvote you once.

Lets talk about double IE by spectre755in LeagueofLegendsMeta

[–]TheMacPhisto -1 points0 points ago

2 IE build = Garbage

The money is WAYYYYY better spent on a Bloodthirster, which, when charged, gives you +100 attack damage... Not to mention lifesteal.

I am sorry, but stacking 2 IE's is for nubs.

MLG, for the first time in the company's history, has chosen to NOT place Halo on its main circuit in favor of more popular PC titles by Brosephskiin Games

[–]TheMacPhisto -1 points0 points ago

Based on this flawed logic of yours, people with a high K/D ratio are more lucky than those with a low K/D ratio... And pros are just super lucky all the time.

Sorry boss, luck has nothing to do with it.

How has no one mentioned the bloom in Halo: Reach??

Seriously, that mechanic made the game far, far, far more competitive. You couldn't just spam the trigger, you had to pace yourself at the same time taking into account range.

Then they got rid of that because the skill gap was MASSIVE and all the bad players rose up in one giant shit storm of "MERRRRRR I SUCK AT HALO NOW! YOU BROKED TEH GAME! FUCK YOU BUNGIE FIX THIS SHITTT SO I CAN BE GOOD AGAIN! MEERRRRRRR!"

Proof: http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/default.aspx?player=eX%20MacPhisto

Look at those stats... When was the last time you saw an above-average player with a 2.74 K/D ratio??

I once accidentally walked into Zack Braff's apartment in New York. It was weird. What are some of your most awkward/unexpected celebrity encounters? by snybenin AskReddit

[–]TheMacPhisto 182 points183 points ago

No one will probably ever read this, but I must tell anyways...

I was driving away from a U2 concert in Lansing, MI... Stuck in traffic when suddenly an opening into a right turn lane appeared so I went for it... Turns out a black Chevy Suburban was going for the same gap and we sort of ended up cheese wedged in the gap, traffic still at a standstill gridlock... I look out of my window, which was open, to see the rear passenger window on the Suburban going down and a head sticks out and yells "What tha foock do ya think your duing!?" I yelled back "Trying to get the fuck out of here most ricky-tick! Fuck you!" Then the head sticks out further and I realize that it's Bono himself. He then looks me square in the eye and says "This motherfucker.... Do you know how to get to the Mariott downtown?" I said, "Yeah, want to follow?" He then says "Sure." and rolls up the window. We pulled into the parking lot a little ways down the road after traffic let up a bit... He gets out, gives me a handshake and says "I'd offer you a pint, but no one tells me to go fuck meself." I thought he was pissed, but he was just kidding and we went and got drinks anyways. Stand up guy. Real down to earth.

Did you turn off safe search?

Can't load Halo 2 on my 360, "This game requires an update but the update could not be found." by FourMakesTwoUNLESSin halo

[–]TheMacPhisto 0 points1 point ago

I might have an old 20gb HDD that still has the software on it from back in the day. I'll dig through my stockpile tomorrow, and let you know. If I have it, I'll send it your way.

[–]TheMacPhisto 4 points5 points ago

Okay, plain and simple: You're screwed.

Reason being that over a year ago (almost two?) Microsoft decided to drop all Xbox Live Support for backwards compatible games released on the original console... Unfortunately Halo 2 ended up falling into that category.

As you may or may not know, backwards compatibility required two things:

  • HDD (to store, and run the emulation software needed to play the game)
  • An internet connected console with an Xbox Live Gold account to download the emulation software.

The HDD requirement explains that issue, and I am sure USB support does not include emulation ability seeing as it was added quite awhile after emulation support was dropped.

And since support was dropped, they also have stopped distributing the emulation software.

TL;DR - Microsoft stopped supporting backwards compatibility for the 360. The emulation software you require is no longer available...

...Through Microsoft at least. I am not educated on this in terms of working knowledge to help you out personally, and I am too lazy to do research. I think there is still a way to get these games to play on the 360.

Keep in mind, these are just ideas for you to search and decide for yourself:

  • You may be able to attain a different hard drive that has the emulation software downloaded on it from a friend, relative, etc... It might be a plug-and-play sort of thing, or it might not be feasible. Worth looking into.

  • Chipping, or modding the 360 or an alternate one. I don't mod myself, but I have extensive knowledge of hardware and chips in particular... I am almost certain that this is possible and that somewhere in the depths of the internet, there is a forum/website that has all of the files/gear/guides to help you do this.

  • Buy an original Xbox... That is, unless resolution is what you seek, then check out the above.

Live game streams? by helpfulin motorcitykitties

[–]TheMacPhisto 0 points1 point ago

And thats for the home side of things, the premium package also allows you to switch to the away team's video feed, not being blacked out.

Live game streams? by helpfulin motorcitykitties

[–]TheMacPhisto -1 points0 points ago

The local black out on MLB.TV is only on saturdays and only for games with a start time between 1pm and 5pm.

If you like to watch multiple games, and follow multiple teams, it really is worth the $125 / For the subscription to mlb.tv

I think you get playoff coverage with that as well. And the quality it legit.

Not sure how MLB.com is trying to advertise this BoSox-Tigers game, but I'm guessing it's not as one of intensity. by jarotoin baseball

Rod and Mario for FS Detroit just opened the top of the 11th talking about how they wished they had snacks.

The first time I pooped at work. by jjk35in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]TheMacPhisto 1 point2 points ago

Pooping at work, over the course of a year will yield an extra paycheck.

WARNING: Math Ahead...

Assume, on average, that you spend 10 minutes a day pretending that you're a fighter pilot dropping bombs over the ocean, five days a week.

Now, extrapolate that over 52 weeks or one year: (10x5)52=2600 minutes

Now, figure your hours:2600/60=43.333

That's 43 Hours and 20 minutes, over the course of a year, spent delivering gifts to the porcelain gods, that you will be paid for.

Hey, Reddit, name some songs which have had a cover done which you honestly think is better than the original. by Codeworksin AskReddit

[–]TheMacPhisto 0 points1 point ago

Filter's version of ZZ Top's "Gimme All Your Lovin'" is better than the original.

Also Nine Inch Nails' version of U2's "Zoo Station" is ten times better than the original.

If you look closely in the mirror, you can see the driver smiling because I took my time on the shot and sped up to him. Did a triple take for sure.
