major league gaming (halo)

for the last year or so, when looking for a way to kill time, i've been watching halo tournament broadcasts and VoD on mlgpro.com, and thought i would mention this to wattem, as i first heard about speedruns on this site and feel that i need to return the favor, somehow.

if you have any interest at all in FPSs or halo in particular, i highly recommend it; watching the best players in the world pull off ridiculous plays is, for some reason, the most absurdly entertaining thing ever.

lol

strange. it works when i click play.

worked for me too

but for real just post a link if you know where the videos are because that mlg site sucks

or you know, a link to a particularly entertaining video

as i recall you have to sign up for a free account (takes 10 seconds) to watch at least some of the videos ...

from dallas 2008, probably the most exciting championship in the past year:

http://www.mlgpro.co...-Video-onDemand (each game is listed as a separate linked video; go to 'championship sunday')

the best video from that series:

http://www.mlgpro.co...Champ-Game-9%5C

another link to various video:

http://www.mlgpro.com/video

a "top 10" series that they do in conjunction with espn:

http://www.mlgpro.co...op10&c=Top%2010

the best one:

TALKING LOUDLY MAKES EVERYTHING SOUND EXTREME!!!

i can think of quite alot of other things to do to waste time..

P.S Halo 3 online multiplayer looks shit.

Weird. I can't get any of those videos to play.

qft

thanks for posting those links

for a long time during the spring i would watch starcraft games played by koreans on youtube...amazingly entertaining and highly, highly recommended. i recall watching a match that went on for about 90 minutes. crazy shit

the majority of people that take games this seriously i suspect are closet psychopaths

i swore off halo because people who play it online are just cunts.

i dunno, i've watched a LOT of interviews with mlg pro players, andthey almost all have very balanced lives (friends, sports, college,etc.), but just have halo as their one main hobby. though video games always have that danger ...
