I dont care for this review.

1. its a video.. Video reviews should die. I'd rather read a review than have to listen to someone trying to be cute. I dont want cute, i want a review

2. He said bioshock was better. Bioshock is a steaming turd. Halo 3 is pretty good. Again, opinions vary, but a lot more people dislike bioshock than halo from what i've read/seen

This pretty well reflects my views on Halo in general. The characters look like glorified Power Rangers and the gameplay is too reminiscent of UT2K4, not that UT2K4 was terrible.

1st halo came out 3 years before UT2K4

so UT2K4 is like Halo not the other way round

QFT.

People, forget that it's about Halo3, and just listen to the humor.

I saw a display of that "Game Fuel" Moutain Dew. $1.50 for a 20oz bottle.

So let's see, soda costs:
$1 for a 20oz bottle at a regular machine
$1.25 at my campus (you know, give a discount to the college students, or just mock them with expensive soda).
$1 for a 2 liter bottle (67.63oz) at the store.
$1.50 for this Mt Dew, which is probably just a relabeling of that other orange-flavored stuff they had several months ago.

Between the crazy game sales and the royalties they've probably got coming from this Mt Dew deal, this has got to be immensely popular. It's a shame the makers of WoW didn't start something like this. Maybe WoW cigarettes. Get the gamers addicted to two things at once. :D

Just out of curiosity, what do you think is funny?

I thought this was great. I've not played Halo 3, but that's because the first two were two of the worst FPS games I've played for their generation. If you're even gonna bother packaging a single player campaign, make it something other than the crap that Halo turned out to be. And I haven't played BioShock multiplayer, I've barely even played it single player thanks to my system's instability, but so far it's been 10 times better than anything Halo I've ever seen.

Bioshock has no multiplayer. It is much better than Halo single-player though.

On one occasion it was my jeep VS an enemy tank but the clueless pillock at the turret seemed more interested in shooting down nearby butterflies Eventually I got out and took the turret myself ordering my passenger to take the drivers seat whereupon he immediately drove us smack into a wall and sat there picking his nose while the enemy leisurely blew is to Narnia

LMAO!!

The best (worst?) part is he's exactly right. I don't know what Bungie's programmers were smoking when they did the friendly drivers' AI, but it must've been strong :laugh:

I just played the first level that involved driving. I had to take over driving duties twice because the AI just stopped and refused to go anywhere, and once because the AI just kept driving around in circles. So far it has only flipped the vehicle once due to driving somewhere it had no business driving.

"And how 'bout airline food? Huh? Huh? Am I right? It's all 'oh, you're on an airplane, here's your food'...am I right? Seriously folks, the other day I was flying to Philly...anyone here from Philly?"
