It sure did.

In Response To: Battle of the Bay Rocked (Psyrixx) Yes, it rocked. I had a blast. There was so much carnage that my hands are still shaking. Apparently, Bungie sent us too many shirts, so most of us got to take *three* Halo shirts home. That's right, Halo T-shirts! (as seen on the webcam) The four vs. twelve man team of Psyrixx, Pfhor, Ac1DF1R3, and G-man did surprise everyone with their 1337 skills. Although I got third place in that match. :) Overall, it was incredible fun. 11 hours of xbox and Halo goodness. After 10PM, when most of the people left, there were still nine of use around and we got a few extra rounds of 4 vs. 4 team slayer (custom) on Chill Out and Prisioner. And after that, we all just popped in random games (RalliSport, Nascar, DoA3) and played a little longer before calling it quits and cleaning up. I would like to extend my thanks to Rico, Pfhor, Bungie, and anyone else whom may haved helped in getting this event organized. : "God damnit! God damnit! LEFT lane!" Psyrixx swirved the 1993 Ford : Thunderbird across two lanes to make the exit. "WHY don't CAL-TRANS : put the f*cking exit signs on the same side of the road as the exit : ?!" The white vehicle coasted off of the highly busy freeway into the : streets of San Francisco. "Now what's next?" : "Take a right on fifth street," Ac1DF1R3 read off of the directions : sheet printed from MapQuest. : "A right? Ok." Fifth street was visible only a block away. "A : right, right?" : "Yes," Ac1DF1R3 confirmed. : Psyrixx steered the borrowed vessel onto 5th Street and avoided bicicle : riders going the wrong way down a one-way street. "Damn, now I : remember why I hate the city." : A few blocks later, the Hilton Towers of San Francisco was visible and after : asking the valet captain at the front of the hotel where to park, the car : was driven through the parking lot garage up and onto level 7. He pulled : into an open spot. : "Well, we're here. Let's commence with the carnage!" : Psyrixx and Ac1DF1R3 made their way down to the lobby and, with the help of a : security officer, found the conference room in which the Battle of the Bay : was being held. After paying the $15 entry fee, they dropped their : equipment off at a vacant table and eagerly awaited the commencement of : carnage. : Five minutes later, a warm up match was announced and as there were already : enough X-Boxes and TV's around for everyone currently there to wreak havok : on, Psyrixx didn't bother to set his X-Box up. He took a seat in front of : a moderately sized TV and began creating a new profile for himself. As he : entered his name, he noticed an attendee two seats down from him glance : over at him rather suddenly and then slowly turn and pretend to divert his : attention elsewhere. : Upon completion of his profile, the owner of the X-Box navigated to the : Profile Selection screen and Psyrixx chose his character. He watched as : the others selected their own Profiles. Ac1DF1R3, Rand0md00d, and Vector. : Vector? Now it was Psyrixx's turn to glance. Vector40... from the HBO Forums. : How... interesting. Psyrixx returned to the game. : * * * * * * * : So yes. I have, in fact, met the infamous Vector40 from these very forums. : He's actually a nice guy and I enjoyed making fun of him in person : probably as much as he enjoyed making fun of me. Yes, it's easier to : distinguish sarcasm from seriousness when he speaks in real life. Though : he wasn't serious very often during the Battle. : ...or maybe he really did sleep with my mom all those different ways. : * * * * * * * : The highlights of the Battle, for me anyways, were: 1.) Yes, we did park on : level 7. :) : 2.) Plentiful soda. : 3.) I brought my gum. : 4.) I have indeed proved myself the Rocket Whore, making repeated shots from : across Sidewinder, Blood Gulch, and Hang 'em High and taking out Jeeps, : Ghosts, and Tanks with one well-placed shot. : 5.) I beat Vector in two games, a 2 vs 3 team deathmatch game (me, vector vs. : random): I had 30 kills, Vector had 20, and a 5 person FFA invisible : snipers game: I had 15 kills, Vector had... well, something three people : lower than me. The second place player had 9 kills so Vector had some : amount less than nine kills. : 6.) Myself, Pfhor, Ac1DF1R3, and G-man (my shorthand version of his full : name), who consider ourselves to be the best four man halo team in this : area, took on twelve others in Team Deathmatch on Blood Gulch using only : human weapons. The final score was Them: 50, Us: 48. : 7.) Vector joined our four man team to make it five on eleven Team Deathmatch : on Wizard using only human weapons. Them: 50, Us: 49. : 8.) I created a very humorously fun gametype for one more five on eleven : game, an Assault game with invisible snipers, no shields, infinite : grenades, and no on screen indicators at all. Most of the people told me I : was "fucked up" or "diseased" or "just plain : sick" and left the game. They just don't understand my genius. : 9.) Bungie sent us T-Shirts. :D : 10.) The last act of the evening. I shan't give any details, however I will : say that you will probably be seeing a video or two up on the interweb : displaying our antics. : That's about it. It was an awesome evening. :D
