Proof Microsoft**** is Milking Halo...

[paladin]

I was at Hollywood Video about 20 minutes ago and saw the most retarded trading cards. I cant believe that Microsoft actually produced these.

these. (http://www.bungiestore.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=14&idproduct=900)

Its kinda sad that Halo sits next to Pokemon and Yu gi Oh.

[Pooky]

Why do you need further proof, I thought it was clear enough already.

[Syuusuke]

Please don't tell me this is the next new thing that have kids playing with these cards

[I_Am_Error117]

Meh, whatever they want to do is fine in regards to that kinda stuff. I'm just gonna let it go past me and not let it bug me.

[Con]

Wow, people actually buy those?

[X3RO SHIF7]

theyre not even playing cards :/ theyre like halo fact cards lol

[CtrlAltDestroy]

who or what is M$

[DOMINATOR]

what microsoft trying to make money. thats absurd. an outrage.

...cards are pretty pathetic.

[Atty]

If it sells why not? Make money anyway you can, learn to business guys.

[Huero]

Why do you guys GIVE a shit?
Uh, it doesn't DEGRADE the game.
Why does it matter?

[Xetsuei]

If it sells why not? Make money anyway you can, learn to business guys.

Exactly.

[Leiukemia]

You can't get rich without TRYING to get rich...

[ICEE]

As long as this doesn't happen, I'm fine. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x63/TeH_DeEp/sigs%20and%20avatars%20and%20crap/efe23f77.jpg
Let the series fade away with its dignity.

[p0lar_bear]

I realized this during the fucking major ad campaign predating Halo 3.

That, and Target sells Halo ActionClix. :/

[n00b1n8R]

remind me, who owns the IP of the halo universe?

I thought it was M$. If so, why are these in the bungie store?

[Syuusuke]

who or what is M$

Stands for Multi-$$$

Well, as much as they are fact cards, I could probably predict a bunch of "Limited", "one-of-a-kind" cards or something special like that.

[Tweek]

fuck, if i had the possibility of getting a TCG based on my game, i'd fucking jump on it.

[Zeph]

remind me, who owns the IP of the halo universe?

Remind me, who owns the IP of the halo universe?

I thought it was MS. If so, why are Halo games sold in Walmart?

[itszutak]

Kinda knew about this since the halo mountain dew thing. I still have a can of it on my desk, for laughs. <_<

I still have a can of it for when I need to vomit :D.

I remember hearing about these ages ago. I figured they would be stupid little fact cards and didn't pay any attention afterward.

[PlasbianX]

You're expecting rules from trading cards? Did I miss something growing up when I was collecting sport cards?

[p0lar_bear]

POKEYMAN?!

POKEYMAN, WITH DA POKEY, AND DA MAN, AND THE THING, WHERE THE GUY COMES, OUT OF THE THING, AND HE MAKES A BUHHZZZ BAAAAZZ UUGH AAAAGH AAGH AAGH!

[n00b1n8R]

didn't they at the least have stats?

tbh, I was never interested in trading cards where their only purpose was to be collected. I preferd being able to do something with them.

also, I was never in to pokeyman cards, but I loved magic the gathering.

[TPE]

I can see it now. Little kids sitting at the lunch room table saying "I wul trad mah ma5b holgrafik fer yer m6d"

Yeah, cards like that have stats, but I dont see what the point would be for rules to be there with them.

Shut up Family Guy Bill Cosby!

[n00b1n8R]

Yeah, cards like that have stats, but I dont see what the point would be for rules to be there with them.

so you could play a game with them instead of collecting them for the sake of collecting?

[Atty]

In case you are wondering, I warned you for your misspelling of Microsoft. There is no $ in Microsoft nor its abbreviation. I have no tolerance for that kind of ignorance.

[paladin]

Me? I cant believe you actually did.

[Atty]

It was removed, I did it to get a point across.

[Phobias]

What point?

Also, can you warn the next person that calls me 'phobo' please?

[n00b1n8R]

What point?

Also, canyou warn the next person that calls me 'phobo' please?

You never said you didn't like it \:(/

[paladin]

It was removed, I did it to get a point across.

Actually not really. I still think what I said. And in the future I will use the symbol.

[Rosco]

Microdollaroft? What the shit is that.

[Kornman00]

Spanish :-3?

[armoman92]

they are going to die, nobody will buy them

[Jay2645]

Me? I cant believe you actually did.
You aren't the first person to get an infraction for using the dollar sign, I got it, too.
I'm still calling it Micro$oft.

[Rosco]

I'm still calling it Micro$oft.

Microdollaroft? What the shit is that.

[n00b1n8R]

Since when is saying Micro$oft akin to something like candlejack anywa-

[NuggetWarmer]

Since when is saying Micro$oft akin to something like candlejack anywa-

!!! There is no '-' when you say candlejack, it ju

[paladin]

It's fucking ridiculous, but whatever. Let him do whatever the fuck he wants...

[Anthony]

Why do you guys GIVE a shit?
Uh, it doesn't DEGRADE the game.
Why does it matter?

because its just another thing they can complain about :rolleyes:

[PenGuin1362]

If it sells why not? Make money anyway you can, learn to business guys.

atty's got the right idea. while i think buying these cards is absolutely ridiculous and retarded, if they'll make money of it, what do they care.

[Metroid4593]

!!! There is no '-' when you say candlejack, it ju

Candlejack? Don't bring that shi

[p0lar_bear]

Next user to bring up Candlejack gets an infra

[Lightning]

Candlejack.

Edit: Love you too, polar. ;D

[Zeph]

On topic now. Anything other than talking about the trading cards will be dealt with harshly.

[Kornman00]

anyone want to trade their grunt for a rare shiny mudkip?

[p0lar_bear]

So I herd u liek gruntkips.

[TeeKup]

I'll trade you a brutox for that gruntkip.

[n00b1n8R]

I'll give you 12 swamps and a shinny planes for a grunt card :downs:

[Jay2645]

I'll trade you a Mew and a Mewtwo for Master Chief and Commander Keyes.

What? No, I don't want a Grunt card. It's a Holographic Grunt card? Oh, OK.

[Dr Nick]

Microshaft has been milking Halo since Johnson came back.

[343guiltymc]

Microshaft has been milking Halo since Johnson came back.
They've been milking halo since halo 1 sold couple million copies.

[Kornman00]

Well, if you had a cow, wouldn't you want to milk it :-3?

[JunkfoodMan]

Not if you're a Vegan...

[Rosco]

Not if you're a Vegan...

Yeah, I'm sure every vegan has a pet cow.

[JunkfoodMan]

Yeah, I'm sure every vegan has a pet cow.

There are things you don't know.

[Rosco]

There are things you don't know.

There are things you can't see in context. :-3
