As you will notice there is a small “Google” Icon underneath the “Search Box” on the Home Page Now. I have set that up for your convenience so that you can search the web directly from my site. Please check it out and let me know how it works for everyone.

I have also been adding a few videos to “My Media” section. Currently there are 5 videos, “The Legend Continues” which is my first ever Halo 3 montage. There is a short clip of me on the pit with the ultimate death… “Hang’em High”. There is a full length video of RippinHeads vs. 5 of the HaloCharts mods in a Slayer match on the Pit.

Most recently I added 2 full length Lone Wolves matches… “I’m on Fire!” and “I’m on Fire v2”. Special thanks to DEVOUT for editing them a bit. Both of those vid’s include Running Riot’s as well. Nothing to fancy… Just me enjoying a few games of Lone Wolves one day. lol

p.s. I completely revamped my Fileshare, it is filled with some sweet No Scopes and a couple other fun Games for you to check out.  =)

Well I had a few players send me messages on Live asking what “POTD” stands for. “POTD” stand for “Player of the Day” It is a rare occasion that a player gets POTD over @ HaloCharts.com but I am Happy to say that yesturday I was able to get it again for the 2nd time ever.

If Im not mistaken I believe that the POTD is based on how much HCS(halocharts score) you get in 24 hours of playing. Lucky for me everyone was busy yesturday so I got to play pretty much all-day. I must say that it was a pretty insane and quite productive day.

I think just to give you and idea of what my day was like from when I got POTD I will leave you with a list of some of the Games I played. I actually added 3 of them to my fileshare for your viewing pleasure. I titled them “RippinHeads”, “RippinHeads v2″ and “RippinHeads v3″ if you would like to check them out. Enjoy!

Game 1
Game 2
Game 3
Game 4 “Great Game!”
Game 5
Game 6 “Mmm Rippin!”
Game 7 “Str8 Rippin!”
Game 8
Game 9 “3 Killing Spree’s!”
Game 10
Game 11
Game 12
Game 13
Game 14 “Frenzy!”
Game 15 “#1 Ranked Oddball kills!”

I have a feeling that these Games may have given me that extra edge to get POTD yesturday over @ HaloCharts.com =)

As the Title Reads… Its Hammer Time! and I would like to talk about the Grav. Hammer of Joy for a minute or 2. Not sure why but if there is a chance to pick up the Grav. Hammer on Epitaph or Guardian I always do. Its one of my favorite weapons to have in my back pocket for those mad rushers who just storm through shield doors and or around corners with no thought in mind.

I am currently Ranked #1 in the World with the Grav. Hammer within the Ranked Playlists. You can check it out here on the HaloCharts “Gravity Hammer Leaderboard“. Of course a lot of that has to do with the fact that I play Soo much Lone Wolves and you see the Gravity Hammer in that playlist more than anywhere else. Mainly on Epitaph and Guardian as I mentioned.

I took a screenshot tonite from this “Slayer BR’s on Guardian” match which is at the bottum of the Blog. I mentioned this game and took the screenshot because this game kind of relates to yesturday’s Blog. The kid who took 2nd place was running his mouth in the pregame Lobby saying how bad I was. The funny thing was that he was actually ahead by 7 kills and I came back with a classic Killing Frenzy which was made up of 5 Double Kills FTW! He is also mentioned on my screenshot just below the Hammer. He also sne tme a v-message after the game crying that I used the Shotty and Hammer the whole game. I replied with this… “But my Tool of Destruction was my BR so I dont understand what the problem is??” lol

The screenshot below shows 4 medal’s in 1 swing. “Double Kill, Killing Spree, Beatdown and Assasination all at the same time which I thought that was pretty slick. Anyway, I need to follow up with replies on a ton of Questions over on the Q & A Page plus I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. So I am going to get cleaned up and head off to bed. Hope everyone has a Great weekend! I leave you with this screenshot which I titled “#1 Grav. Hammer!”  =)

Can I just say that I am absolutley sick of the Trash Talkers on Halo 3. I mean c’mon… I play Lone Wolves 4-5 hours a day and all I hear is “OMG he has no life” or “OMG he must have boosted”. Its so annoying and I hope when MS comes out with the censoring feature for us on Live that we will be able to select specific words that we want cencored. For me it would be all the usual crap that I have to hear in the Pre/Post Game Lobby. lol

I played this “Slayer BR’s on Narrows” match tonite and you will notice right away that there was another 5 Star and a kid on a new 2nd account in the game who took 2nd place. Well between those 2 guys I could’nt tell you which was running there mouth more in the pregame lobby. NOTE: I do not wear my headset when playing Lone Wolves for this very reason.

Needless to say the 2 guys talking the trash were 100% sure that RippinHeads was not going to win this game. Let me mention that the first thing I did in this game was got a Killing Frenzy which included killing each of the trash talker 2 times each just for good measure. =)

I ended the game with a few killing spress and a killjoy on one of the trash talkers. After i won the game I put my mic in so that I could have a few words with these kids but of course they backed out before I could even say anything. I guess my point here is that if you are going to talk trash then you should be able to back it up with a win. NOTE: I do not talk trash… I let my game play speak for itself. If you have a story like this please feel to post a comment telling us about it. I always enjoy a good story about trash talkers getting beaten by my friends. haha

Well to be honest with you all I dont think that this “Slayer BR’s on Boundless” Game was very fair. You will notice that I got matched up with a few Commander’s and Colonel’s. Don’t get me wrong… I have nothing against lower ranked players but c’mon. =)

I finished this game up in under 6 minutes and came out of it with 19 Headshots/BR Kills. I actually said out loud about 10 times… “Get out BR’d Kid!” lol  Anywho, I just thought I would share that game with you. I Loved the 5.0 k/d ratio going 25-5 FTW.

Getting back to what I was talking about yesturday… Im really not sure what BUNGIE is going to do about the DLC FFA and Rumble Pit Merger. I have searched around on BUNGIE a good bit but have not seen anywhere if they are going to combine the Exp. from the 2 playlists. If you have heard that please let me know here with a comment.

Im also Happy to say that my “Looking for FFA Tips” thread over on Bungie.net has really matured into a Happy thread with a lot of Great comments and Thank You’s. Its funny how people read those FFA Tips and go out and try them. I had one guy mention that he was stuck at a level 36 for months in Lone Wolves and now he is a healthy 45 after putting my FFA Tips to good use. =)

Im just Glad to be able to give back to the community so that people can see that I am a nice person putting the celebrity status aside and just trying to make Halo fun for everyone. I know how frustrating LW’s can be… Lord knows I have played WAY to many FFA Games to be able to understand that aspect of it.

Here is a screenshot from one of my games on Isolation earlier tonight. I noticed that I do not have a ton of Ranked Ghost Kills so I thought I would bust it out for part of a Game. Nice little 2 for 1 Splatter down low. I have dedicated this screenshot to AJ who is one of the Mod’s over at HaloCharts.com and is nasty with the Ghost. =)

Ok, so I honestly think that ANY Ranked game you play that includes a Running Riot is a good Game. Especially in Lone Wolves. Its hard enough to get sprees let alone a Running Riot now and then. Gotta Love them Riot’s! =]

I figured I would chat about this a bit due to the fact that my night literally ended with a Running Riot. I didnt win this “Slayer BR’s on The Pit” but I did go 18-6 for the 3.0 k/d ratio. The Guy that won was on a New 2nd account and I think I have played him on his Main account before too. He Love’s them clean up kills and is pretty tough competition.

Other than that game on The Pit and this “Slayer on Guardian” match which I got a Killtacular in it was a pretty mellow night. Im really looking forward to getting a 5 Star in Lone Wolves. I think that will be Awesome! =)

Did anyone else notice that Bungie is going to be combining Rumble Pit and DLC FFA into 1 playlist? Leave comments here about that because I’m curious to hear what you all have to say because frankly I dont like the idea. That will mean I lose 1 of my playlist Generals however if they merged the EXP I will have 1000 in Rumble Pit.  Hmm  Thoughts??

Ok, so the Title “RippinRocks” is a little cheesy but I think if you search through my games from the last 3 days you will understand pretty quickly why I titled the Blog the way I did.  lol

I spent almost my entire New Years day playing Lone Wolves trying to get my Ranked 2.0 k/d back. I managed to hold a 3.03 for about 50 games whiich finally gave me the 2.0. New Years Day ended with this “Slayer on Anvil” Game. I pulled off a nice Running Riot and went 25-4 for with my kill to death.

After I got my 2.0 back I decided that I was going to take a break for a few days and just play “Rockets” which shows up as “Custom Game” on Bungie.net. I think someone forgot to follow Shishka’s orders when he told them the Double Exp Wknd playlist Name this past weekend.  lol

Anyway, as I said… I played Rockets all weekend and had a Blast! I played 104 games and won 100. I couldnt believe how well I was Rippin with those Rocks. Here is a game from when I first started playing on Jan. 2nd… “Splockets on The Pit” You gotta love having that backup Spartan Laser for when you spawn upstairs above the bases on The Pit. I think I pulled off like 8 laser kills from up there.

I played a lot of players over the weekend so of course I got a lot of “OMG its RippinHeads from HaloCharts”. I actually heard from a reliable source that some players will go and play in a particular playlist because they heard that RippinHeads was playing there and they wanted to try and beat Him. Kinda funny if you ask me. Anyway there were 5-10 players who I played against in DLC FFA who actually thanked me for bringing some New faces to that playlist. Pretty cool! =)

Well, Idont want to talk to much and its getting late so I will end with this
“KOTH Game on Blackout”. I think that is the most kills I have ever gotten in a single ranked or social game…. 69 kills -33 deaths FTW!  Only 1 Overkill though. =(

I figure I would start this Year off with a Bang! It just so happened to be the sound of my Rockets causing mass carnage in the Double Exp Weekend playlist. Muhahaha
