Halo 2 Clan for Metafiler [more inside]

After seeing Jeremy's comment, I thought it was a good idea. Anyone up for forming a MetaFilter Halo 2 clan?


If interested post your gamertag.

A clan for Halo2 doesn't strike me, as in, let's fumble the damn ball, I will thumb around mauling your wives -- but I would be terribly interested in a Ut2K4 clan.

Take that as a glove. I threw it down before you.

The sun just fucking rose, bitch, time to get it on.

I'll see both you fools in an all-out round of SpectreVR! Just as soon as I, um...reinstall DOS.

At the risk of sounding a touch rude . . . "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!"

Seriously, though, I don't understand at all what you were trying to say.

Indeed.

I like to play the odd game of UT2004, mostly just onslaught though. I'm all for having a virtual MeFi meetup at the Torlan Blue powercore. I play under the nickname Pixie (don't ask, it's a long story).

Sometimes, I wish we could all be a gang in GTA:SA. We'd be called "Tha Dorkz." And we'd beat the Ballas not with might, but through song.

So Stan Chin was right, you did spend it all on strippers and crack, didn't you?

Well, crack anyway.

I like the thought of mathowie rolling up to my corner in a rotted-out Perennial, targeting me and saying "You down, homie? Let's roll!"

Dammit, stop tempting me to get an Xbox!

But a FragFilter clan/group/whatever for various online games would be pretty cool. Maybe if folks just put something like "FragFilter Tags: _________" in their profile so they'd be searchable?

I'm in. I was going to post the same thing but my cool cred is so threadbare to begin with. Our enemies are legion. Bet you can guess my gamertag.

"You down for the family?"

Can I get UT2k4 for the Mac yet?
posted by armoured-ant at 5:38 AM on November 19, 2004

I believe it launched simultaneously with the PC version. It's out now at any rate.

Also: If I had an Xbox of my own, I would be totally down. I can help you guys pick a name though. My younger brother's Halo 2 Clan is called the Mathletes.


Only spelled Math1337s for ULTIMATE dorkiness.

My girlfriend is away for the whole weekend. I'll be online in at about 6pm GMT (3 hours from now) and then for most of the weekend. I was in a clan but it seems to have been disbanded or I have been kicked out.

Would this be the wrong thread to ask if anyone wanted to gang up in WoW once it goes online? I can just imagine a quest to defeat $monster sidelined by interparty bickering about the Kerry campaign.

my Halo 2 gamertag is soplerfo - I'm in a (very very bad) clan already, but would definitely love to play with any MeFi folks that are looking for an easy kill...

cavalier: Yes, you're looking for this thread. Please leave quietly and don't make a scene.
posted by fvw at 7:33 AM on November 19, 2004

Just to clarify, I didn't think of those names. Mine would be much cleverer.

Someone please pay attention to me, I'm so very lonely.

bless you hughbot. you sound as sad and pathetic as my significant other considers me to be.

I'll be vewy vewy quiet, fvw, but I'll point out that that thread is a Beta thread, as opposed to the living, breathing, retail thread that will surely germinate come 23-11-04. ty tho :)

DUDE! YES!

I'm am so down!
posted by Jeremy at 8:38 AM on November 19, 2004

I could use some clan joining instructions (unless it's painfully obvious). I created one online for people here at work and I think I'm the one person who hasn't joined it yet.
posted by yerfatma at 8:47 AM on November 19, 2004

I am likewise, as you say, down.

gamertag is amery.

No I won't join your sissy little clan, ladies, but tell you what: once you get it started, I will happily whoop alls yalls asses singlehandedly in ranked match of Clan Tea Cosy (you) vs. Clan Tanksweat (me).

Don't forget to bring your lace handkerchiefs for when I makes you CRY!
posted by Hildago at 10:12 AM on November 19, 2004

BTW you named your clan "Tea Cosy" cause it's the toughest name you could think of! LOL pwnz0rd.
posted by Hildago at 10:13 AM on November 19, 2004

Yerfatma: go to your "friends" section on xbox live (hit Y) and then hit direction pad right to call up the clan page. It's not that obvious that the "friends" section has multiple pages.

Ooo... Ooo...
Can I join? I'm new and all, but I'm fairly good with a shotgun.

I don't really know how good my clan is... I just joined 'cause someone asked. I've never played a clan game though.
