Today's game is some more Halo: Reach. I had a bunch more screenshots, but the game has been buggy lately under proton and I had to do some finagling to get it functional. Good news is the game runs perfectly on my rig at 5120 x 2880. Bad news is that the theater modes all decided to corrupt half of all the films. The only one i really got was one on Halo: Reach. I got a few others though luckily, just not as many.

I did get this video though of me Tea Bagging my friends (we're all friends so it's all in good humor). I had a way better one that I wanted to share but that unfortunately got lost.

Moving back to the main post, I like playing Reach's multiplayer because it has by far my favorite armor customization (Infinite is a close second). And the armor design is just awesome. I like how great it looks with my spartan crouching in wait to ambush one of my friends (I say this, but she ended up getting snuck up on instead). She's really living up to her tiger themed paint job.

While i didn't end up winning this match, I did come in second which is pretty good. One of my friends is old halo blood, and while i wouldn't say he's a sweat, he's pretty good. So losing 24:25 is pretty good in my book.

We did another match of Slayer too (Along with infection and a round of Team Slayer, those films were gone gone though). This one I did win which was great. I used the cheap strategy of energy sword and invisibility. The tight corridors made it hard for my friends to track me down, and then I'd lunge at them. Rinse and repeat for a bit and there's my victory. One of my friends. Who's been struggling to get good at the game got a kill he was proud of too. He got a double kill with a sticky. We all stopped to congratulate him. I've got to make sure everyone is having fun and all that.

Also, can i point out, for how deranged my spartan can be sometimes, she can be dramatic too. I got this one on a Slayer Match with my friends. She looks like she's fainting like in an old Drama. The death poses are something I love about Halo, they're so damn dramatic. Especially when we get to the rag doll era? They can get hilarious with falling over the railing and other things. CE is pretty great too with the dramatic spin and fall. Master Chief decides to go out in style I suppose.

Here's another one of my friend dying. He looks like he got sucker punched in the gut, and i suppose in a way he did because i meleed him to death. The way he's flying backwards i love. I like to headcannon that before the whole War-Games thing or whatever the explanation is, the Spartans are all just being dramatic and playing dead. Like some playground game.

That was kind of all we got up too today. I'm kind of disappointed that i lost so many of the Theater tapes, because their were some genuinely great moments i wanted to capture, like one during infection where me and one of my friends momentarily made peace before i was killed by one of the Non-Zombies, or a screenshot of my corpse being flung around after dying.
