atheistium

lol.
FIX YOUR INNERNETS.

RoffleWaffle

Make sure the power is plugged in...

On a serious note I have no idea...

AgentMOO

bummer, did you try rubbing it with a cat helmet?

Jim Sterling

I'm trying to play solo mode offline, Atheistium. I think I managed to buy a fucking fucked disc :-(

Electrobes

Man.. Halo 3 is not in favor of Jim.

Thornnn

Pray......pray allot.

Kairiaku

Take it back and exchange it,
or get it properly cleaned at a game store

:?:

Jim Sterling

Yeah, my copy is completely fucked. Great. So that's my plans for after work utterly fucked.

Awesome introduction to the Halo series.

AgentMOO

@sterling, COD4 is a much better multiplayer game. The halo weapons are all cliched scifi beam guns. There are some fun mod types, but it's really only a good time if you've got a group of non-fucktards to talk to while playing among the chaos.

Also will we hear the new podcastle before the ball drops?

casualweaponry

Geez Jim, What the hell did you do to anger the Gaming Gods?

BigPopaGamer

Jim, just download KuF:COD demo and play that. Otherwise, don't bother with Halo 3 if you have COD(Which I know you do.)

But if you really want to play Halo here's what you do: Get a live goat, violate it(sexually) and then sacrifice it to the heathen gaming gods in hope they will have mercy on you. At least, that's what worked for me.....DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.

Electrobes

::Looks at Popa... like THAT::

BigPopaGamer

Look I was desparate alright Electrobes. Look I don't judge you just cuz you're "Married" or anything. So get off my back.

Want to play some Rock band later?

Eschatos

Ask Jesus to fix your Xbox.

Electrobes

Yeah! But let's throw it in Jim's face! Awesome! We'll lyric out how Halo 3 and Rock Band is soooooo awesome!

By the way Jim looking foward to the Podcastle, Hapy New Years man.

BigPopaGamer

We should write a song. You can play drums, I'll play guitar and we can let Jim sing. A song describing the painful life of someone who has devoted himself to bringing back the Monocle into the mainstream.

I smell a hit.

blehman

Did you put it in with the shiny side up or down Jim?

Electrobes

Muwahahaha!

BigPopaGamer

:Looks at Electrobe warily:

Ele, lay off the painkillers aight?

Sgt Cheesecake

Maybe it's for the better.

Oh who am I kidding? Sorry to hear about the technical problems, mang.

Cowzilla3

Jim you have to believe. Close your eyes and believe!

Demios

Sorry to here bout Halo Jim.

Looks like the gaming gods want you to give Mass Effect another spin! :D

topgeargorilla

I would say something about how I like Nintendo systems, and how they always work, but I feel that is not appropriate right now.

And I REALLY like my 360. Good luck with Halo 3 anyways.

cooki

Unlucky Jim, but remember there is no offline mode in Halo 3. They forgets to put it in.

BluDesign

Halo requires that you stick a fork in your slot while inserting the disk. Did you try that?

AgentMOO

Which sl- oh nevermind

Guagloves

Wow...You should tell your game disc to stop being such a cunt to you.

MaxVest

You can't finish the fight if you haven't played parts one and two. Your console knows this; it would be like jumping into WWII without having first fought WWI.

OrangeGoblin

I saw you coming and going on Xbox Live - I guess that was you kicking the shit out of your 360?

sTo0z

Jim, just go back to the Veteran mode grenades. It's obviously what the universe demands of you.

RivaOni

I still need to do the first two levels on Legendary on Halo 3, I think I need 2 of the gold skulls too, not sure on the "silver" skulls though.

Brian Szabelski

Jim, did you happen to piss off Baby Jesus somehow?

BlindsideDork

Step one: Buy Beer

Step two: Buy pink collared shirt

Step three: Put shirt on

Step four: Pop the collar

Step five: Get into a frat

Step Six: Guzzle all the beer

Step Seven: Commit Bro Rape

Step Eight: Play Halo 3

it might be long b ut the end you have the pay out of playing Halo 3.

topgeargorilla

Bro Rape...LOL.

It's not just Halo! The Gamecube is even more common, along with a black dil, of course!

Justin Villasenor

Solo? But the campaign mode is more fun with other people there. I'll happily go through it on co-op with you if you want.

-D-

kill it....with fire!

VWGTI

Turtule Soup

but it's really only a good time if you've got a group of non-fucktards to talk to while playing among the chaos.

Agentmoo is so right.

king3vbo

Blindside pretty much nailed it

Bob Muir

It probably won't let you play it because you're too British, Jim.

wardrox

DON'T READ JIM STERLING'S BLOGS!

itemforty

I approve of this message.

liam2015

LOL

SlimJimm

Yeah that happened to me.

I replaced the disc 3 times, then replaced my Xbox thinking that was the problem, but the issue still persisted. What is probably wrong is that the update that is downloaded upon starting the game is installed incorrectly. I had to send away for a new HDD and recover my gamertag.

Its a huge fiasco, but I can play Haloz now.

SniperFodder

So did you get it to work or did you replace the disc? Did you try it with your monocle on?

BluFire

It's because you Brits don't deserve to have games!

njsykora

Try turning it off and on again.

(how has no-one made that joke yet?)

Knivy

You don't play Halo, Halo plays you.

BS3 Owner

The problem...

A little green man chasing multicolored aliens?

------

BTW seriously Jim, RESET THE CABLE MODEM...
( Disconnect power to Modem for TEN Minutes.
Then set it all back up. )

------

Besides Agent Moo, is right... They're not as many fucktards on COD4 as in most MultiPlayer games. & if there is, they're fresh meat!

IceMax

Did you buy a sealed copy?
