The Beta is awesome from the smallest things like the new lobby has a cool globe of Earth rotating behind it to the equipment this only reaffirms that our money Sept 25th is going to be WELL spent. A tip I have may save you frustration on High Ground CTF. As the attackers get a mongoose with a driver and someone riding shotgun. Then move up on the far left until you get to the gate turn right and you should see a hole in a bunker driver in there and you can get behind the gate a DARN close to the console that opens the gate. Before the defenders know what their plan is the gate will be open and that choke point will gone. If you have the shotgun as a defender you can hide behind a wall near the flag next to the laptops as soon as the flag is taken you can run out and deliver 8 gauge magnum justice to the theif who took the flag.

Well, I am very impressed at how the beta plays, everything about it
feels right on point. What I was most impressed with was the lack of
auto aim while playing. When I achieved a head shot in Halo 2 with the
sniper, most of the time it felt artificial and cheap. What i mean by
that is this: The cross hair in Halo 2 always seemed to stick to other
players heads. In the beta, whenever I achieve a head shot with the
sniper, I feel as though I actually earned it. The spike grenades are
the best. Love ‘em ! They really seem to fit with my playing style.
The graphics didn’t really bother me at all, although as lot of people
are still complaining about how bad they really are, I was actually
quite satisfied with them. My only true wish for the final game is for
bungie to add an awesome glass shattering effect when one gets shot in
the face with a sniper. It would be so satisfying to see glass shatter
from the enemies helmet and to think of what his buddies reactions the
other teammates might have.

I was just recently playing a game on Van Halen (Valhala) with Kickamanjaro. It was a lovley game of team rockets. Me, being the experimenter of the group, starts throwing the mines into the man cannons. Well, there are about 3-4 (it’s team rockets so they respwan) scattered around the map. I was then surrounded by 3 big and burly men, and i shot my rocket and missed. I stayed alive somehow to hear BETRAYAL BETRAYAL BETRAYAL. Turns out i just killed half my team. The best part is, i got negative feedback, and my rank went from apprentice to recruit.

So far, the Beta is like Halo 2 on Steroids, which in my head is great. All three maps are great, but I was a little upset that you couldn’t create your own game, or just made a game for two players on the same 360, but the fact that you can bring in a second player for Matchmaking is cool. Another annoying thing that keeps happening to me is that it takes a really long time to find a game, I can’t join other friends games because it tells me some sort of weird computer networking lingo that I can’t understand, and the first day I got it, the START MATCHMAKING sign was faded out because there were too many people online. Now I’m not one to go crazy at Bungie like everybody else with the Crackdown mishap because they didn’t have to do this, but if you are going to come out with this demo, you must know that there are going to be many people playing at once. But otherwise from what I could play was phenomenal. Graphics were great, and so were the new weapons. So far on a rating of 1-10, I would give the Beta a 6, but I’m not going to jump to conclusions like everybody else who hates the Beta, and think that the initial game is going to be like this, because it isn’t. Remember this is just a test to see what players like. That is what Bungie does.

Hey Podtac. Xynos here. Well anyways, I got into the beta via friends and family. Well, I started up halo 3, and on my third of fourth game, I got paired up with Capt Krunk and JVB. We played that game through, then we partied up. I used to listen to Podtacular back when Spelchek was still a co-host, but I hadn’t listened since like ep. 50 or so. Well, seeing those two made me decide to come back. Now, I’m back and playing with every. Keep on fragging trucks. Xynos out.

I’m sure I echo almost everyone when I say the beta is great. The new graphics look quite different from Halo 2 and appear more glossy and shiny. It makes things appear more real and have more depth as well as it just looking cool. The new weapons also pleased me. All the weapons are finely textured and look phenomenal when in action. Although I wish there were a couple more maps in the beta, everything I’ve seen so far in the beta I’ve been very happy with. Can’t wait to see what else bungie has planned for the retail version!

PS. You guys should bring back the old “Welcome back” music from episodes 11 and 13. That would be cool.

Even though I never registered for the Beta or preordered Crackdown I have seen Halo 3 Beta videos and I thing that the Halo 3 beta graphics are fantastic. I can’t imagine what Halo 3’s graphics would really be like. Out of the three maps i have seen on the videos I like Valhalla since its a Halo classic map and look greater then the first two versions of it. The only tip i have for you is that I bet you may be able to get passed the turrets and maybe not kill you if you have overshields, take a ghost and an over shield and when the shields are low to get out of the ghost and activate the bubble shield and let your shields recharge, then see how mush farther you can go, that would be cool. Well any way that it and I wish I registered for the beta, but anyway’s good luck on the beta Podtacular and everyone else that has it.

One day I was playing on Valhalla. We spawned in the base and I
immediately picked up the trip mine. Earlier that day, I found out that
you could send one of those through the Man Cannon, so I proceeded to do
so! Then I went into the Man Cannon and hung around by the spartan laser
spawn. Then a Warthog comes barreling over the hill and starts to flip
sideways straight into the trip mine that I had thrown through the MC. Ended up getting a double off of it.

A common strategy I use when playing 1 Flag CTF on High Ground is to use
the bubble shield right as I take the enemies flag. I will usually drop
it in the center of that area, take the flag, then jump into the bubble. If nobody is around I will take the flag straight through the bubble and
into the gate. If there are people shooting me, I usually sit in the
bubble and wait for the n00bs to come up and try to kill me. Most people
dont know that the flag now has a 1 hit kill. :)

Doing that I once got a single then double kill because I just beat them
down.

Hey everyone, I’m prolly to far back behind everyone on the shownotes,
so you wont get to me, but if so thanx, New to Podtacular in Rec D
clan, submitted stuff before but it has been when there was to many
submissions before me. Anyways Halo 3, wow everyone is saying “oh its
just an enhanced halo 2/ halo 2.5” but those are the people who cant
appreciate it. Everything about it is fun. Yes there is alot of the
same, but it is mixed up with halo combat evolved and halo 2 creating
a new blended smoothie mix called halo 3. Needler is the bomb and the
song from 2 podcasts ago really fits in wit it. But first off a tail
from the foxhole: on Valhalla, I was able to go on the other side of
the map where the enemy base was and stood right behind where the man
cannon is and hucked stickies at the unsuspecting enemy as the were
killed in the air. On snowbound whoever has the ghost wins the game, a
missle pod is needed on that map to destroy it.

This is what I think about the Beta from Merc Savage

Bad things first.

1. the teamspeak thing with the d-pad is stupid and why don’t they just allow everyone to talk to each other without pressing any buttons like all of the other 360 games.
2.The assualt rifle isn’t that good and everyone just uses the BR or carbine anyway. To make it better they should have it to do more damage or to have 8 more bullets per magazine cause i don’t know how many times i don’t kill a guy because i need to reload and only 2 shots will kill him.
3. The needler is too powerful and should have a less firepower.
4. The Warthog and the Mongoose flip way too easy and if shot by a rocket, brute shot, grenade, etc.
5.The spawns are good except when you spawn in the middle of 2 guys fighting each other. But it is Halo so it really doesn’t matter.
6.The missle pod is way too weak and it is only good against vechicles. it is very inaccurate when trying to shoot a person.
7.The plasma grenades and spike grenades are hard to stick guys with and are much harder to throw them long distances. I will that they have a better arching system in Halo 3
8.Sometimes when someone quits the game is stopped and only a few people stop playing then the match ends. Need a better “Blue screen”

The good things are.

1.No auto-aim cause it takes more skill to use a BR, Carbine, or sniper anyway.
2.The spartan laser takes a while to charge and so it is balanced. and the fact that you can cancel the shot at the last second is helpful in case an ally gets in your way.
3.The deployables are handy especially the grav lift and the bubble sheild. The energy drainer is ok but you put yourself at risk when you deploy it. It is most affective if you are above a group of enemies and you drop it on top of them.
4. No host advantage.
5. Good connection and the games are never laggy
6.The recordable gameplay is cool but you are not able to stop, rewind, or fast forward.
7.The differnece between the Rank (Corpral) and the level (1,2,5,8,etc) so that you can always have your rank but you can lose your level.
8.New Medals
9.No X glitches like BXR, BXB, double shot

I am not going to say any tilps but here is my 2 best experiances so far.

1. Played against NISMOJOE the guy with all of the Gears of War montages and he was a higher rank and level than me and i still beat him. He wasn’t that good
2.I was in the bubble sheild and had a spartan laser and a guy was shooting my sheild and i charged the laser and popped out just in time to laser him.

Thanks guys for reading this and hopefully this gets on the show.
I may have said a lot of negitive things but i still think that Beta is one of the best experances i have had on my 360 and i was so glad that i got my 360 back from repair the day before the Beta came out.

Ok, first of all the gameplay and balance of weapons and power is EXTREMELY well thought out this time. You actually get that feeling that your a super human cyborg with mad skillz yo! The spiker grenade would possibly be one of the best weapons out there, i mean, it sticks to EVERYTHING!!! And the grenade throws are so much easier, but it’s not so easy that it doesn’t require skill, or just raw luck. The beta in general has been a huge success. I have heard things about, “It sucks, the graphics aren’t awesome.” or “why is it so glitchy?? this is stupid!” Well one word to those who say such blasphemy. BETA! It’s just a rough copy. That’s what this is for, testing kinks and wrinkles in the program. Now onto tips. Number one rule: Control the Spartan Laser (SL). With it, your team is pretty golden to take over the land with vehicles, which now are amazingly tough and durable, like those ziplock bags I hear so much about. Tip #2: Don’t go out by yourself unless it’s rumble. Double teaming is no longer some sort of cheap way to win, it’s a strategic move, especially in V.I.P. and Territories/Land Grab. It’s vital to stick together and bail each other out. Tip #3: Don’t be caught without grenades; they are possibly the most useful thing in the game now, that and the bubble shield. And thats just simple basics everyone should know. Tales of the FoxHole. HAHA oh man~ have i got a story for you guys!!! Alright so get this, I was with my friend, AuroraX and we were playing Slayer on Valhalla, and we had the Beach Side Base, and as the game started, I naturally jumped down and grabed the sniper, and started to pitch a tent because I was going camping. So I was sitting, and I heard the distant sound of a man cannon, and soon enough, arose a man in red flying through the air, I zoomed in, and clipped the top of his helmet, flinging him into the dirt. The cannon sounded again and two more came flying, both meeting a most untimely demise. And I as I camed and watched explosions in the distance i was getting kills like mad. I got a killing spree, and noticed a brand new metal: the Sniping Spree. I continued to pumel the dirty red team even deeper into the ground and eventually got a running riot. And another brand new metal appeared. Sharpshooter. Two medals that come along with getting sprees with special types of weapons. I was still camping, zoomed in, and I was laughing at all the dead reds just piling up onto each other in comical positions, when i was smacked in the back of the head. What A TERRIBLE END, RIGHT BEFORE THE GAME ENDED!!! I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE PERFECTION AWARD! ARGH! IT WAS SO UNBELIEVABLE!!! I was so upset. LOL all that hard work camping and such an dishonorable way to meet my end. Right afterwards, I spawned ontop of the outcroping above the base that I died at, and picked up Plasmas and chucked them as FAR AS I COULD and amazingly enough, stuck the very guy who killed me before as he made his way up and into the BR/Shotgun tunnel.

OMG this is awesome. I cant stop thinking about it. I cant play that much cause of my mom but i dont no what really to say. Its so good i cant really explain it. What really pisses me off tho are the the people that are complaining!! Whats wrong with then its only a beta calm down. The sniper feels wierd… kinda slow but i really dont mind. The only thing i dislike is some of the covenant weapons… the anoying little flashing. I dont no why it just bugs me. The noob combo is really wierd. The thing i always loved about bungie is the ranks and it looks like there back. WOOT WOOT. Its cool to see the weapon on your back is sweet so noone can take my sniper and get away with it! I LOVE the fact you can save previous games so i can post all my montauges when im owing all the little noobs. The one thing i cant stand it when i go 20-10 and we still loose cause this guy go 1-33. I think if you get more than 20 kills you should be booted from the game. For the end of this long paragraph im gonna just say I love bungie… In a nongay way.
Im glad to be back Podtacular you guys rule and are the best and most updated halo podcats congrats on your guy’s sucess.

this is sgo and here my input on the beta first off holy stuff!! the
graphics kill gears of war graphics! (and this is an F*ing beta).
second, holy stuff (again) this game is fast as hell seriously i thought
it might be a little slower and tactical because of the deployables but no
when i started up my first match i was killed in 30 seconds (yes its very
sad:( ) we as players of the beta soon learned new things not just about
the game but also how to get people really pissed at you ;). (I sent out
game invites to every one on my friends lust that wasn’t in the beta ;))
out of the three maps valhalla is the best and to those that disagree i
don’t care you don’t count and i will hit you with the sqweryl belt. i
think the man cannon is cool but very risky because there is a sniper
conveinantly located right under it. all the weapons seem more balanced
and stuff so i geuss i opprove.
now for my tale from the foxhole multi flag CTF i’m riding “brokeback” on
the mongoose with the flag and some “stuff head” thats sniping people out
of the man cannon we sped over the hill and at the same time i pressed
they melee button i hit the “stuff head” and got an assassination for the
first time in history a driveby with the flag has been acheived!!!! (thank
you thank you no autographs please cash only)

keep on fragin toliets with stuffy meatloaf piles

Review: by NghtmareKnight7
There is so much to say about the beta that I don’t know where to begin, so lets just start with the starting weapon. The new assault rifle is the perfect weapon to start with 1) its not duel wield-able so you don’t have to find another weapon in order to stay alive. 2)it can hold its own again some other “stronger” weapons. and 3) its not overly strong so that other weapon are still desirable to get like the BR and Brute Shot. I love the spike grenades, especially sticking someone with one. The new damage reader is good too and it is nice to see where someone is shooting you from. My favorite addition to Halo 3 is the theater as anyone can save their most spectacular kills, and can prove whether or not that was truly a no scope. The button layout is much easier to use and my first impression of the game play and controlling was “very smooth”. The only problem i had with the controlling was I kept hitting the RB button to change the grenades which left me sometimes throwing a regular grenade rather than the plasma or spikes, but more playtime has eliminated that. The new maps were fun, especially High Ground, and I look forward to playing the full game in less than 130 days!

Tips: by NghtmareKnight7
My best tip is when someone activates a bubble shield, get your spike grenade ready and enter the bubble just enough to throw the spike and jump back and enjoy as the poor victim(s) die in their own safety bubble! If you want more tips I can send you a video of my “moves” haha thanks to the theater mode.

Crazy Stuff: by NghtmareKnight7
Nothing too crazy has happened minus the 5 minute conversation I had with some other players while waiting for our rumble pit slayer to begin. By the time our game finally began (5 mintues later), we had a full conversation about our impression of the beta, how to activate the equipment and where to find all the good weapons on each map. To be honest, it wasn’t that bad to wait that long, but that is because I have yet to play against a trash-talker, little annoying kid, or a little, annoying, trash talking kid! yay

Well after sitting in the Crackdown menu for about 4 hours on the 16th, the
Beta finally arrived! Sadly i couldn’t play it till the next day but it was
worth it.

Ok, on to my favorite map so far, Valhalla. The textures and the water all
look amazing. Its a very balanced map with a nice selection of weapons. The
mongoose and everything is cool, but get ready for some complaints. 1.
There needs to be more of a notification that your shields are down, I
could be running out in the middle of Valhalla and not even notice i was
about to die. and 2. the “hold RB to pick up” icon, needs to be darker.
Its very hard to detect certain weapons on Snowbound.

But all-in-all, Its an extremely fun beta, it will keep me busy for 3
weeks. And if anyone wants to play, my gamertag is OnlyUPS.

Download Problems , Patch Problems , Live Problems , A Programmer Who Was Late To His Own Wedding Resulting In A Crappy Patch , These Are The Issues I Was Faced With On May 16th But All Were Forgotten Just Moments After Entering High Ground On Team Slayer My First Match Even Though I Was Playing Tired And With A Broken Analog Stick That Steered To The Left I Found My Self Natural Equipping Myself With The Bubble Shield And Sticking Foes With The Brute Spike, Which By The Way Is A Very Satisfying Way Of Ending Someones Killing Spree, Generally I Found Myself Feeling Right At Home With Little To No Time Taken To Get Familiar With the Control Scheme Switching Grenades Was Easy And After Dropping The Bubble Shield While Trying To Reload Had Its Disadvantages, That To Was Over Come Soon Enough, My Favorite Map Is Snow Bound By Far Due To The Weapon Placements And The Fact That I Always Get Placed Standing Over The Spartan Laser Which Again Is A Very Satisfying Way To Obtain A Kill Both While Shotting Spartans And Vehicles, Another Aspect Of This Map Besides The Flicking Lights And Auto Cannons Is The Shield Doors These Puppy’s Make For Some Great Noob Kills Involving Plasma Grenades.

A Tip For This Map Would Be Getting The The Spartan Laser And The Shield Bubble These Two Work Good Together Because Due To The Slow Firing Rate Of The The Laser Having The Shield Offering That Extra Little Bit Of Protection Really Comes In Handy And If Anyone Dares Enters, You Have Something Heavy To Hit Them With, If All Else Fails, Now Without Giving All My Secrets Away Forgetting the Fact That You Can Watch Those Secrets In Action Thanks To The Amazing Video Share Option I Would Also Recommend Taking Full Advantage Of The Power Drainer While Roaming The Tight Spaces Throughout This Map

Finally A Small Tale From The Fox Hole Would Have To Be While Playing Snow Bound, Within A Few Seconds of Spawning I Acquired The Beam Rifle Knowing The Auto Aim Feature Had Been Dropped If Not Removed I Was Indeed Concerned About The Next Few Minutes But To By Delight Not A Foot Did I Step Out Side Somebody Took A Shot At Me And Tried To To Get A Sneaky Kill, Little Did They Know Who They Where Firing At And That Person Had Never Shot The Beam Rifle Before, But To My Surprise I Turned A Full 90 Degrees And No Scoped Him Depleting His Shield Not Content On Dieing With The First Shot He Continued To Fire And To My Own Surprise I Again Spun Round And Once Again No Scoped Him, But This Time His Body Fell And Melted Ice, Fun Times

Own You Later “John Wayne 119”

Hey Podtacular and Co.,

First off, I have a tale from the foxhole for Halo 3!

So, I was on Valhalla, Team Slayer. This guy on the other team is about to
ram me in a Mongoose and I don’t have a trip mine. But, at the last
second, he gets out. And I just happened to be on top of a hill. So, I
started going backwards, and threw a grenade up. A few seconds later, I
see a flaming Mongoose flying over my head, about to hit me, and it said I
killed the guy. It was cool.

Anyway, Halo 3. Fun, fun, fun. So much better than Halo 2.
My favorite weapon without a doubt, would have to be the spiker, the new
SMG in my opinion. The Spike Grenade is also my favorite grenade. Favorite
map: Valhalla. And my favorite vehicle: Mongoose.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

I think that Snowbound was actually smaller than I expected. And the BR
takes forever to kill someone with. I love the power drainer and all the
other power-ups. From what I’ve seen of the SMG, it only sounds and
feels more powerful. I don’t think the lighting, which I didn’t see on
the SMG, made a difference.

And the best thing of Halo 3, the all powerful…

Man-Cannon.

I love this thing! I was going off of it in Warthogs, Mongooses, and my
self. W00t w00t for the Man-Cannon.

And I have one more tale from the foxhole.

I was on Snowbound, Team Slayer. The other team had 49 and we were close
to that. So, SGO LoneWarrior and I were in a heated battle and he threw a
grenade at me. Luckily, I was in front of one of the bases. So, I backed
into the base, but, I sub-consciously threw a grenade, thinking I was
outside of the base, when I was really inside, however, my shields were
down, and the grenade bounced back at me. This ended up killing me,
counting as SGO LoneWarrior’s kill and giving them the last kill of the
game, making them win.
I am stupid.

Well, keep on lovin’ Bungie because they love us. It said so in the
Beta.

The beta is AWESOME! It’s super uber fun and I can’t stop playing it! It’s only three maps… but… I think it’s fair to say that Bungie has done an amazing job that they should have their chestnuts babamed a couple of times to help them realize just how freakin’ awesome they are. So… yeah. The beta rocks!

Here are some of my tips:
-Use the Carbine! It’s actually a really good weapon, now. If you use it right, you can have your enemy down in seconds.
-Communicate with your teammates! My mic is broke, and it’s having a huge negative effect on my gaming experience. Use you mics.
-Always watch you motion sensor, ammo count, deployable indicator, and the other things on your HUD. It really helps to know whether you have a bubble shield or not.
-Take advantage of deployables. They may be a new asset to gameplay, but they are vital to success. Use them well.

And here’s a short story:
I was playing a rumble training game on High Ground. I was doing really really well, and pwning all of the noobs, when something happened. A magic fairy came along and gave me a sweet sugary muffin. She told me that I had to take it to the Infertile Birth-mother, in the land of Oxymoronous. I did so, and I got a magic mushroom to use in Halo 3. It works a lot like a deployable, except it can be re-used in any game. It doesn’t really do much, though… except make your vision blur and your character stumble… Well… yeah. That’s all.

I don’t know about everyone else but in my opinion the needler is the best
mid range weapon. If I was on the base on Snowbound above the Spartan
Laser, and I had a choice between the BR and the Needler I would get the
needler. It kills people before they realize their getting hit. Also the
look of the needler looks more attractive and pretty.

Halo 3 multiplayer is setting up to be as tremendously fun as Halo 2’s.
They have added to the gameplay without destorying its Halo-ness. The
spike grenade is lots of fun to use, but not overly powerful. Detaching
the turret and walking around with it is great! And you are appropriately
slow when using it. I have really enjoyed playing with my friends from
Podtacular. I never knew/realized JVB was a great sniper. CTF defense
against his team was near impossible…

Overall its pretty good. Detailed maps original weapons and much more. Some
things i dont like is the x button kinda being leftr out and also teh up d
pad being used for talking. The Ddap button somteimes really screws up my
gameplay cuz i keep on using the right bumper instead.

I like Valhalla the most mainly because of the man cannons. its fun to
either drop a grenade, vehicle, weapon or urself in there.

I dont rally got an interesting story but i like it. It was my third game
i think and it was at high ground and i was kicking butt. It was sniper and
shotty. So halfway through the game the other team had all 4 people
together right by the main gate. So one guy just randomly dropped a bubble
shield and all of em ran into it. WEll i got off a shot on one guy before
he entered but didnt kill him. One of other guys though i stuck with a
brute grenade and when he ran in it detonated killing em all. Probably a
lot of stories about grenades and bubble shields but still funnny to me

I have been playing the beta since crackdown came out and wwwwowww i love
it. My favorite weapon is the sparten laser, or BR i cant choose. My
favorite map is Snowbound i really like the AI turrents i think its funny
to see someone get R@PED by them. I have had some crazy no scopes and
spike nade sticks by far the best stick i have had is on snowbound. i was
playing rumble training i was on high base there was a guy on low base and
i had a spike grenade i throw the nade and got the stick and was like OMG
that was awesome.

The Bubble Shield/Shotgun combo is great for capturing a territory or
controlling the hill. The Power drain is great for getting the other team out or the hill, off
of a territory, or killing the VIP. The Portable Grav Lift is good for getting over the base on High Ground. The Trip Mine is good for killing vehicles of course, but you can also put
it right at the flag or the place where they arm the bomb. on step on it
and they are dead.

ok i really loved the maps, i thought all of them were fantastic. snowbound
was great and alot bigger than i expected, i really love how the map is
symetrical and the underground tunnels are really cool and add great
expierience to the level. i think the shield doors are really cool and can
save you many times, for instance, if your getting shot at go through the
shield door turn throw a spike grenade or mine, go in a corner wait for
him to come through and he wont even notice it because looking through the
shield its kinda difficult to see grenades. valhalla is great but not as
big as i thought it would be. the man cannon is great for traveling but
can be a pain when a skilled sniper is present. the weapons are placed
really good. most of the fighting when im playing takes is usually on the
bubble shield hill, and the spartan laser hill. one bomb, and king of the
hill is really fun there. high ground is my favorite map. its not
extremely big nor is it small but the layout of the map is great. theres
alot of power weapons on this map. for some reason everytime i play this
map im usually the only one that gets the rockets. the turret on this
level is so fun to use when people are coming up from the beach and u can
just own them, but u have to be careful because the sniper is down on the
alley way and leads up to get a perfect view of the turret. the sniper
seems to be placed weird becuz its at the bottom instead of the top, but
it counters the turret extremly well. my favorite thing to do on this map
wen im playing territories defense, is to get in the tunnel and u have
access to protecting 2 territories.my favorite combo is probally two brute
spikers becuz there devastating when there both together. well thats wht i
think of the beta and keep on fraggin trucks!

Hey guys it’s daboog here and I just wanted to share a tale from the
foxhole.
I was playing an assault match in Valhala and I had the bomb,
I was heading to the other base and went inside. I was about to plant the
bomb
when suddenly BABAM!!! I walked onto a trip mine and died,
and when I was looking at my body, my head was stuck in the ceiling!!!
That happened twice in the same game and I was spurting chocolate pudding
all over the place.
Hope you liked my tale from the foxhole.
Keep on spike grenading mongooses.

intro… outro…


Wrap up

Until next time I’m Foo Mo Jive (and this is)
