Just a friendly reminder: Some of us Bitmob staffers will be hopping on Xbox Live tonight to play some Halo: Reach with our community buddies, starting at 5 p.m. PST (8 p.m. EST) and going for about two or three hours. Depends on how frustrated we get losing to you guys.

To join, find gamertags Bitmob Shoe, B Bretterson, or Bitmob Demian.

And don't forget to capture screenshots (using the in-game theater tools) for our contest! The caption that impresses us or makes us laugh the loudest will win this Halo: Reach briefcase that we'll fill with some random gaming swag.

Details below!

(UPDATE: the screens, the captions, the winner!)

 

Contest: Using Halo: Reach's in-game tools, take a bunch of screenshots of Friday night's action, then post them to Bitmob along with accompanying captions anytime before Wednesday, Sept. 22. Tag your article Reach Game Night, so I can find them easily. Later, we'll compile the best and funniest ones into a front-page post and pick our one favorite to win this briefcase, which we'll stuff with some TBD swag.

Note: As with all Bitmob Giveaways, you must be registered on this site with your full, real first and last name to qualify. For this contest, we can only ship within the continental U.S. (the briefcase ain't light, and we ain't rich!). If an out-of-towner wins this thing, we'll offer him the option to cover shipping and handling via PayPal. Otherwise, we'll pick an alternate.

When you say "find gamer tags" do you mean request you as friends?   Sorry, I'm pretty new to 360 and haven't done a lot with XBL just yet.

Just letting you guys know if we happen to play together, you most likely won't hear me over the mic too well. Once more than two people are chatting my good ol' Alaskan internet has a heart attack. Also, I don't have very good Halo skills...

That was a great deal of fun, especially Headhunter games. Hope there are more of these!

could be that I don't know my way around XBL and parties, but I experienced a lot of waiting around for certain bitmob staffers to pick gameplay types, or else I couldn't join parties already in progress, with open slots yet "join party" was greyed out.  That's okay though. I really hate Halo.

Rick: I'm almost positive that Headhunter game was a bug. I did score 10 points right at the end there, for a Skulliminjaro (sp?), but I'm pretty sure I wasn't carrying around 48 skulls right then. :)

Good game, everyone. Thanks for stopping by! Sorry if you didn't hear me say a proper goodbye. My mic crapped out at the end.

Don't forget to enter our contest above!

Haha, no worries Dan. I just thought it was hilarious. :D

 

Looking forward to the next game night. It was fun meeting all the different Bitmobbers.

 

P.S. To the person I mid air groin-punched as we both flew upward with jetpacks, that made my night.

I was too busy being Master Chief at one of the Gamestop midnight launches. I love doing it, gets me a free copy every time! ^_^
