Joystiq vs Bungie - Bunch Of Sissy Girls! - Berg's Response on PG8
*EDIT* Game over....can't wait to see the write up today! Everyone got Recon except for SuperDunners Aka Justin Berg. LOLZ
Joystiq is supposed to play Bungie in a humpday tomorrow night. The only problem is, Joystiq is afraid to face Bungie themselves! Here's the text from their site:
[quote]
The Challenge
Four of Bungie's most talented gamers, plucked from its very own development team, will go to war against Joystiq's team of community members in a Halo 3 showdown. This three-game fight to the death will be played exclusively on the new Mythic maps and is guaranteed to be a defining moment in video game history.
What's At Stake
For every game Joystiq wins (which should be all three), all members of that team will be awarded the highly coveted, ever so sexy and über-l33t Recon armor permutation. All participants are guaranteed a Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack redemption code just for participating.
On the flip side, each game Bungie ends up victorious, the Joystiq Xbox editors will be contractually obligated to promote the studio's greatness at E3 2009 by wearing Bungie-branded t-shirts for one day. If they win all three games, that would result in three days of t-shirt wearing at E3 and three days of extreme public humiliation.
How To Participate
For this challenge, we need you, our loyal readers. To apply for a chance to represent Joystiq in "A Mythic Halo 3 Challenge" by taking on those boisterous bad boys over at Bungie, simply comment on this post with the information listed below. We're looking for the best of the best Halo 3 players, but everyone is encouraged to apply.
Your Xbox Live Gamertag
Your Halo 3 Highest Skill (found here)
Your Halo 3 Ranked K/D Ratio (found here)
Any other information we should know about your Halo 3 skills.
*Application must be in by 9:00 pm ET on April 7. All participants must be able to play Halo 3 the evening of Wednesday, April 8 (team practice) AND Thursday, April 9 (the actual event). We're taking this challenge very seriously, and so should you. Joystiq's pride is at stake!

Call me crazy but shouldn't JOYSTIQ face Bungie themselves? What's the matter Dustin Berg? Did you buy your 45?!?! ;)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SketchFactor Well we're getting a week of Mythic promotion out of it, so it's good in that regard. I fully expect team Bungie to run into some serious, serious opposition and most likely be treated, hard. I mean, it's flattering that one person would go to such lengths to acquire Recon and persist on, scheming and plotting for 7 months after getting denied at PAX. That's some real dedication. We'll see what happens tomorrow, we lose all the time to awesome players online so there's no hard feelings or issues there. But SOME people here have lost grips with reality and tend to think they're at a Pro level of play. It will certainly be enjoyable to watch and even more enjoyable to trash talk about afterwards.[/quote] The choice of gametypes is up to you, yes? Why not choose something like BUNGLE to even the playing field a little bit? It would be at least as entertaining to much of your target audience.

Maybe they want to involve their community???

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SketchFactor [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mastercmj2003 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SketchFactor It certainly does seem like this spirit of this match has gone beyond what was originally pitched to us. You could almost say that this has gone from a Bungie vs. Joystiq humpday to a "Dustin holds open auditions to find 9 awesome teammates to give him 3 solid chances at finally winning Recon." :) [/quote]Being a bungie employee, how do you feel about that? Joystiq is finding 9 super elite halo 3 players, giving them a chance of a lifetime. Do you think bungie is walking into a murderfest?[/quote] Well we're getting a week of Mythic promotion out of it, so it's good in that regard.

I honestly wish i had the chance to sign up (although i would have been denied). Good luck to bungie, i hope u crush the dreams of a few of those 9. That would be the middle finger to joystiq. "Hey Joystiq, we can take on ANYBODY!" lol, can't wait to review the videos of these games.

I am VERY confident I could beat any Bungie employee.[/quote] And i care because....? So what i'm confident i could beat any bungie employee. but I dont go around with a Second account to make my stats look better than they really are. my stats have been tracking all of my progress since launch. So what does it mean to me to have a new account to have shiny new stats? It makes no difference so i might as well keep the one i have.[/quote]It didn't cost me any extra to make this gamertag as it did to renew gold on my old one. I just get bored of one gt. And these stats aren't made to look better than I really am. These stats ARE as good as I am and I would appreciate it if you just get over the fact that I made a new damn gamertag. If stats mean nothing, don't give me crap about stats, eh?

Sketch, pump their butts SO FULL OF LEAD that they'll need to get treated for heavy metal poisoning, even though they're just playing a game! [Edited on 04.08.2009 5:51 PM PDT]

Yeah and what gets me is of all the people I saw there trying to get on their team they prolly missed half the good ones and picked terrible players. If I were you Bungie I wouldn't Worry about it. Dustin will get his butt handed to him....

There were many 50s posting on there with 1.5+ ratios[/quote]Quite so, but he's on his first account, with mulitple 50s. I know this isn't uncommon, but i know from personal experience he's reliable. Just because i vouch for him though, doesn't mean he was ripped off by NOT being picked. Kinda wanted to see a friend win, i guess, thats all.
-
God, you are an idiot. I haven't played TS because I took a break from Halo for a while and haven't felt like playing it again. That's it. You go right on ahead continuing to assume I boosted my K/D at low levels. It doesn't mean anything because I know you're wrong. Like I said though, if it makes you feel bigger you go on ahead.

I cant wait till they are done with this humpday..........I want to see who joystiq picked. [Edited on 04.08.2009 5:16 PM PDT]

My highest skill isn't MLG though.[/quote]I have an account with a 3.08 rank K/D. It's a 45, can I haz special, nao?[/quote]Noez, u cant haz my speshal.[/quote]Sounds like 2nd accounters with nothing better to do but boost k/d in SB or low ranked LW. lol, ill stick with my crappy 1st account k/d. [/quote]Except I maintain my 2.00 in high level Team Slayer. But you can keep making assumptions if it makes you feel bigger.[/quote]Oh, my fault for assuming that your high k/d comes from going +20 against staff captains for about 25 games straight when climbing up the ranks in TS. You haven't played ranked slayer since before Vday, probably in an attempt to preserve your 'oh so special' k/d. Look, SpYdA MuNkY shoulda been picked, he had better stats then 99% of the other people. I hope joystq loses because they picked a second account loser like you.

I cant wait to beat Bungie tomorrow : ) Just kidding it will just be fun to actually play them

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Raiden192 Joystiq gave me a crappy wired controller that makes to much noise when you push the buttons. [/quote] i actually lol'd quite hard :P Joystiq fails.

If I was able to help somebody, I'll help bungie team to win, even if I'm not that good, I'll do everything possible to help them. :D It's all about fun, didn't it?
