Hot off the Presses!! I got home from work last night and my Wife started telling me about this Amazing New website that is a lot like Ebay and just migrated here from the U.K.

Dubli.com is basically a Reverse Auction website where you use credits to view the current price of an item and each time someone views the price, the actual price drops by $.25 cents. I watched an iPhone sell for under $5. It does’nt sound like it would make sense but trust me… It Does!

Follow the link or click on the Banner and head over to Dubli.com and Register. Once you Register you can buy credits and start bidding. Its a Blast! Let me know how you all make out.

EDIT- I am currently bidding on the XBOX 360 Elite and the Price is nearly $100 below retail at the moment. So basically if I bought it now I would save almost $100. Im going to hold out for a few more days and see if I can save even More!

p.s. Just look at the price this XBOX 360 went for!!

There is just something about the words “Hail to the King” that just gets me pumped up. Like when you were little and you and your friends would play king of the hill in the snow. If you could stay on top the hill for more than 30 seconds without 1 of your 5 friends knocking you down you were the man and maybe even got bragging rights for a week or so. lol

Earning a Hail to the King medal in a Lone Wolves KOTH Game is extremely hard to do. Between the 7 other players chucking grenades at you and the 1 random kid who comes into the Hill with Rockets or Shotty it’s pretty tough to stay alive to say the least.

I would have to say that Epitaph is my favorite map when it comes to KOTH Games. You will find several games in my Fileshare where I pulled off huge multi-kill medals on that map. I think I was the kid with the rockets/shotty in a few of those Games. hehe

The key to winning KOTH Games in Lone Wolves is to try not to be seen while racking up the time. The other thing is when everyone is rushing you that you are prepared with a power weapon or at least a ton of nades. “Nades are your Friends” except when they are thrown in your direction.

I wrote about “Hail to the King” because of this “King of the Hill” that I played the other day. I earned not 1 but 2 Hail to the King medals in this game along with an Overkill. Needless to say I was really Rippin some Heads in this Game. I think I only have 7 ranked Hail to the King medals and never have I earned 2 in one game. Good Times!

So looking back to about 5 months ago I did not think today would ever come. I finally earned my 1000th Ranked Killing Frenzy last night. It was in this BR Slayer Game on Guardian that I got it. A pretty impressive Game too! =)

If you think about it that is 10,000 kills without dying. Thats pretty Insane if you ask me. There is something about hearing the announcer guy saying “Killing Frenzy!” that just gets my juices flowing. Plus when he says that I know that I can comfortabley die 5 times and still have a 2.0 k/d for the game.  lol

I guess getting Frenzy’s to me is really like my own personal goal that I set within each game. Sometimes I will even try to get a Frenzy before trying to get time with the ball or get time in the hill. Its fun to see if i can still win even though I played slayer first for a few minute. I would say its a 50/50 chance that I still place top 4 but its still fun.

Well I Hope everyone had a wonderful Christma and is looking forward to the New Year. Hmm… Now if I could only get my ranked 2.0 k/d back sometime this week. Its soo hard to keep a k/d like that when you have soo many games played and over 109k kills logged. =I

Ok, so the title of this Blog is a little perverted but it fits. First I would like to note that I had one of my worst nights of Halo ever. It seemed like the Harder I tried the more random bad luck I had plus every other game was super laggy.

Anyway, I played a little bit of everything tonite from a game of Squad Battle that everyone on my Team quit out of to a few games of Snipers which were not quite as  bad. I was playing my usual LW’s games trying to work on my k/d a bit but for some reason it just wasnt happening.

Im not one to make excuses about sucky game play but I did however slice my finger open on a piece of steel banding before I left work last night. My left middle finger and it makes a tingle when Im holding my controller. Its amazing how someting that simple can completley take your mind out of the game… if thats what caused it. lol

Well getting back to the title of the Blog “Got Balls?”… I played this Oddball game on Epilogue last night and it reminded me why I am currently ranked #1 in the World with Ranked Oddball Kills. You will first notice that my tool of destruction was the “Cranium” lol 7 Oddball kills and good k/d ratio with 21 kills and 8 deaths. 

I must be honest with you all, I am very tired and about half sick. I am going to call it quits for now but I plan on being back after the Christmas Holiday to write some mor Blog’s. So Merry Christmas and I will talk to you all soon!

BLOG UPDATE! I just played this Oddball Game on Blackout!  Unreal… 3 Triples/2 Overkills/2 Killtac’s and 1 Killtrocity. 1 of the Overkills was with the Ball! Check it Out!

p.s. I leave you with a screenshot of RippinHeads smacking some kid in the mouth with his fist while holding the oddball firmly under his other arm. =)

Well for those of you who have been around my site for a while you all know that I set pretty big Goal’s for myself all of the time. My most recent Goal was to get my 5th Playlist General which just so happen to be in DLC FFA.

It took me exactly 22 Days to complete this Goal and I’m happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I played a total of 536 Games of DLC FFA and earned a total of 500 Exp. That is about a 93% win ratio which is pretty darn good if I must say so myself. That is just shy of my Rumble Pit win ratio which was 94%. My DLC FFA win ratio would have been slightly higher had I not lagged out of about 15 games.

Something else that really had me excited about DLC FFA was being able to play Infection Games on a regular basis. I would say 1 out of every 10 Games of DLC FFA I would get an Infection Game. I had recently played about 200 Games of Ranked Infection and my k/d was at 1.62. I’m very happy to say that after I got my General in DLC FFA my Infection k/d is now an amazing 2.08 and holding. I’m pretty sure Games like this “Brains on Deadlock” definitely helped the k/d go up fast. lol

I have not yet at this point decided which Playlist I will get my next General in. I would like to get it in Team SWAT but that playlist absolutely destroys my Ranked k/d ratio. I wouldn’t care so much but I have worked so hard to keep my 2.0 and I would hate to throw it away just to get another General.

I will be writing one more Blog before the Christmas Holiday, if anyone has something that they would like me to write about or comment on in my Blog tomorrow please feel free to make note of it here. =)

Hello All!

So I was over on Hawty McBloggy the other day reading this “Festive Blog” and I was so inspired by it that I decided to write a little Holiday Song to post.

The song is titled “Happily Addicted to Halo” for all of those “No-lifers” like Me. lol jke

“Happily Addicted to Halo”

(Sung to the tune of “Winter Wonderland”)

Doorbell rings, I’m not list’nin’,
From my mouth, drool is glist’nin’,
I’m happy — although I said it aint so…
I’m Happily addicted to Halo
All night long, I sit shooting,
Unaware time is moving,
There’s a beard on my cheek,
Same clothes for a week,
I’m Happily addicted to Halo

Friends come by; they shake me, Saying, “Yo, man!
Don’t you know tonight’s the senior prom?”
With a listless shrug, I mutter “No, man;
I just discovered RippinHeads.com
I don’t phone, don’t send faxes,
Don’t go out, don’t pay taxes,
Who cares if someday They drag me away?
I’m Happily addicted to Halo…

I’m Happ-ilyyyyy, ad-dict-eeeed to the Haloooo!!! (Yeah!)

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! =)

I spent most of my evening playing Halo 3 just thinking about what I might write about for my Blog today. After playing about 15 games I thought to myself… “I could just leave the 2008 Best of Halo Awards Blog up” Well needless to say I found something to write about shortly after that.

Litereally this was the last game I played for the night because I had just gotten my Brigadier in DLC FFA. I figured I would play just 1 more game so that it would show up as 400exp on my Bungie.net profile. 

The last game was “Slayer BR’s on Ghost Town” which by the way has become one of my favorite FFA maps after playing it so much in DLC FFA.The last kill of the Game is now my Trophy Shot on Bungie.net and can also be found at the bottum of this Blog. 

I will first note that I was not faced up against tough competition in this game but as everyone here knows… Random nades can end a perfection in a heartbeat. lol I pretty much spent most of the game just hanging back with my nades and BR waiting to pounce on guys as they battled in the distance. I also picked up my handy dandy shotty about half way through the game which was nice to have as my backup. It worked like a charm and I ended up with a pocket full of great medals and screenshots for you all to check out.

This first screenshot is of my Running Riot, I had no shields for about 20 seconds leading up to this Double Riot. I titled this screenshot “One in the Hole” because as you can see I have my thumb on a shell stuffing it into the chamber. 

The second screenshot is of my Rampage. Please note that on the wall behind me I tried to warn the other players in the game that I was on fire and that they were in “Danger” and should use “Caution”… lol

The same kid I killed in the above shots was also my last kill of the game. The last kill gave me my Untouchable and my Perfection! I was up on top of the building and going by my Health Meter you can see he had know idea what was going on. An easy 4 shot kill for me to go “Out with a Bang!” =)

I hope you Guys enjoy reading my Blog’s. They are more or less just a running chronicle of my Halo 3 life. I do not get a ton of comments on my Blog’s but the ones I do get are always Good. 

Thanks everyone and have a great weekend! =)

As you all know I have been playing a ton of DLC FFA the last 10 days or so. With that comes a lot of infection games which I love. After playing 200 Games of “Ranked Infection” during the halloween double exp weekend I have become a Zombi Pro! lol

There is just one game that I wanted to show you guys and it took place on the infection map “Deadlock”. Deadlock is basically a night version of Blockout filled with all kinds of goodies(mainly fusion cores).

Between knowing when and where to throw grenades and having a smooth Magnum shot I managed to bust out 62 kills and just 2 deaths. Here is the “Infection Game on Deadlock” that I am talking about.

The amazing thing about this game was the Medals. 2 out of the 3 rounds ended with either a Rampage or an Untouchable! Here is a list of the 42 Medals I received…

15 Double Kills
5 Triple Kills
3 Running Riot’s
2 Rampage’s
1 Untouchable
3 Shotgun Spree’s
3 Zombie Killing Spree’s
3 Hell’s Janitor’s
4 Bull True’s
2 Last Man Standing’s
1 Linktacular

I thought that I would also throw in a couple screenshots from this game for your viewing pleasure.

The first is of one of the Rampage’s I got, please note how much time was left in the round… 2 seconds!

The second was also a Rampage and a Double Kill while I was the Last Man Standing…

This last screenshot was of my Untouchable while I was the Last Man Standing. Again please note how much time was left in the game… 8 seconds!

You can also find this Game in my fileshare, titled “62-2 FTW!!”

I hope you all enjoy reading about the Highlights of my Halo 3 life. If there is ever anything that you all think I should post or write about please let me know. Thanks =)
