I saw an ad about trolling so hard and being stupid shaves decades off your life. Ooooweeeee!

Got this cardinal done on my foot on Sunday, was about 4 hours of work.

Ink Poisoning occurs from idiots guzzling writers ink or printer ink. The symptoms you experience with guzzling writers ink is generally vomiting. Printer Ink can cause nervous system damage. Tattoo "ink poisoning" isn't poisoning at all and is generally confused with an allergic reaction to a pigment. For instance I have a friend that has a reaction to specific types of red, so if any of the tattoo he is getting done has red in it the artist will choose the color he wants and just apply a small bit with a q-tip to the skin and see if there is a reaction. If there is, he'll generally mix the color by hand with other pigments.

Punctuation is key bro!

It's great to see these games coming back. Halo 1 and 2 were the pinnacle of FPS competitive gaming, nothing has really come close except MAYBE Black Ops 2. I played Halo 1 a lot with friends when it released, I was almost 14 at the time it came out. Halo 2 really launched me into the competitive scene, and it's great to see and still have friendships that were forged back in the day on that game still going to this very day. I've been friends with a lot of these people coming up on a decade now solely because of Halo 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMEpalBx00o

The campaign is what will receive the full anniversary revamp. Essentially what it comes down to is you'll have like 5 multiplayer experiences to choose from. H1, H2, H3, H4, then H2A. H2A is what will contain those 6 remastered maps that will be running on a newer XBox One engine. Everything else will be running their native MP's the only difference is the resolution will be at 1080p and 60fps. It's also been stated you will be able to specifically choose on MP experience if you want to. Otherwise when you go in you'll receive the following voting options for example... 1. Halo 1 - TS - Prisoner 2. Halo 2 - CTF - Beaver Creek 3. Halo 3 - KOTH - Construct 4. Halo 4 - Extraction - Haven Whichever one gets the most votes it will load that engine and the subsequent gametype and map for that engine.

Halo 3 was utter crap compared to H2, you get a far better experience with Halo 2 without all the shenanigans of crap maps, bullet refunding, BR spread, double reloads on rockets, and all the other problems that came with it. The way the anniversary is work is H2 will be in it's original form, graphics, just up-res'd to 1080p 60fps. Then there will be 6 maps remade and redone for a separate portion called H2A which will run on a completely different newer engine. And for the first time you'll be able to play H1 online aside from the PC experience. The game actually holds massive potential if received correctly by the community to revive competitive Halo.

Just unlocked the HCOG last night for the SMG, absolutely hated it, I felt way more inaccurate and switched back to using just Iron Sights, but that's personal preference. I pretty much stick to the SMG, Carbine, and Hemlock. On rare occasion when I'm feeling saucy I'll bust out the LMG. Right now I'm nursing a 5.2 K/D overall, with a 2.1 K/D against other Pilots. I'm really enjoying the game and have managed to play consistently, I play two very different styles based on if I'm just a Pilot or I jump into a Titan. Pilot, I'm very methodical and sneaky. Where in my Titan, (Stryder, 40mm cannon w/ burst fire, vortex shield, cluster missile, fast autoloader, survivor) I'm a balls to the wall aggressive player. But I use the dashing to my advantage to out strafe the stronger titans, and get in and out with melees.

Someone sounds butthurt.

Oh I know, March 11. But I don't think NewEgg ensures pre-orders for same day delivery/release like Amazon does that was my point. So I have to debate whether my need/want for the game outweighs my need to save $30.

Played a solid amount of the beta over this weekend, and I just kept yelling at my screen to take my money and give me the full version of the game. I've yet to pre-order simply because I'm debating where to actually pre-order. When I purchased my XBox One I received $30 in promotional gift cards. So realistically I could have the game for $30, but I have a feeling I'd be waiting a week after its' initial release to get it.

I just bought a 3DS/XL and Pokemon X. It's my first Nintendo Handheld and Pokemon game since a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Yellow. I know there's been a ton of changes to the meta game, can anyone point me in the direction of some helpful resources?

League play is great, finally a good way to find a good team if your friends arent online. League play I won't say hugely but on a weeknight there is an average of 4,000 people in Champ series, and weekends it doubles easily. As a way to find a "good team" you have to wait at least until about 5 days after the new month starts because it seems you got thrown into games with kids that don't know the difference between their a-hole and their elbows and you're playing on some deplorable connections because not enough people have been placed. The only way I suggest going in to League at the start of a new season right away is with at least 2 friends if not a full team. I'm interested to see what the exact "Clan vs Clan" will be. I"m going to have to do some more research into it.

I'm sure the outrage would include something about casino's and being red backs anyway you look at it something equally insulting and ignorant. I'm ashamed to be an American sometimes simply due to the belligerence the greater population displays toward such trivial "issues."

Wait... I mean I'm American, and she was born in New York so... Hell, I may be off my rocker but that makes her American right? I didn't have time to read this in depth but people are having an issue with this because her parents are Indian Immigrants? For the most part doesn't all of our heritage start with immigration in America?

In Canada that's only one game as they are almost $70 each here. You guys get so ridiculously screwed, I work for a company that has branches in the USA and Canada selling products, unless one of our vendors has a supply house in Canada where our Canadian branches can purchase it, we purchase it here in the states, ship it over. And due to the costs to get it across the border, we take the USA Price and put it on a multiplier by x1.35 to make the Canadian price.

And we circle back to my original point, I'm ignoring the $100 and purchasing the console that fits my needs best which I feel is the XBox One. I play Halo, I want Destiny (I know not an exclusive), Titanfall, etc. So the the price tag is easily swallowed for those games. In addition my fiancee uses the kinect quite a bit on the 360, so at least someone will use it.

I never called anyone poor. Affording something isn't as based on your actual income class as it is managing your finances. I'm not even close to a hundred-thousandaire let alone a millionaire but $100 has become nominal to me in purchases such as this.

If you can't afford a $500 console, you shouldn't be buying a $400 console. The $100 is nominal and irrelevant. If that is what turns you off to buying a console you can't afford it in the first place. You, obviously isn't specifically saying you as a person but a broad generalization.

At the end of the day, I feel a lot of the debate over which is better PS4 vs XBox One or even the current generation is futile. My thoughts come down to how I feel about the whole iOS vs. Android debate, pick which one fits your needs and wants best. From a basic hardware standpoint sure each has it's advantages and disadvantage but at the end of the day you're the one that has to be happy with your choice, no one else. Price isn't even a factor at that point because when you're talking about spending $400-$500 really the difference is nominal and irrelevant to the actual decision you're making.

I've already pre-ordered Ghosts for my XBox One. I'm pretty excited for it. I'm glad to see Death Streaks going bye bye. They seem to be working with the killstreaks as well, like UAV's are going to be little satellites you sit on the ground so you can just shoot them if you see them or hack an enemies. I believe there's a perk called Wiretap where you can stack them and increase their strength and functionality much like a Orbital VSat and such. The franchise shows no signs of slowing down, I think it will take an epic failure for them to crumble the series. In a way there will always be hope because if one fails most people just revert to the previous title and say, "Well I'll wait for TreyArch's" or "IW's" it'll be hard for two COD's back to back to fail.

Pre-ordered PS4 and Watch Dogs long ago. PS4 pre-orders are now sold out in Europe and NA though. Anyone who pre-orders now has to wait until Batch 2 arrives (unknown arrival date at this point) I'll probably end up getting a PS4 when I see how colossally Halo 5 falls on its' face haha.

Has anyone here actually pre-ordered one system or the other?

I know I'm in the minority but I pre-ordered an XBox One for one simple fact. Call of Duty and Call of Duty Championships on XBox One. It comes down to this, COD is a passion of mine and I have a very strong competitive drive. Now while the elite of the elite play on PC, the talent pool is very very small. With the majority of money tournaments being on the XBox in the USA for COD, it draws a much bigger base, thus a larger talent pool, and in the end more competition. I'm also looking forward to Destiny, Halo, and Titanfall. While I know the concerns folks have over the Kinect and the like, it's something I'm taking in stride to enjoy the next-generation of consoles. A PS4 is definitely in my future though, but probably not for about a year until after release.

Is your concern the splotchy red will distract from the tattoo or won't hold the ink well? Scar tissue is the main concern when getting a tattoo which depending on the scar will still retain the ink if done well, mostly anything else will take ink barring the skin is dry or flakey which could cause complication in healing. Otherwise you should be fine.
