Here is the comment in full:

I deserve to win H2 Vista because my birthday is September 24th and it would be a great early birthday present to know I won. Also, I will play it more than anyone who will comment here, I can guarantee you that. Lastly, I am a fan and would add the Vista box to my collection and shrine of Halogod in my closet.

Thanks and I hope you pick me!

Well Fyler, happy birthday you get my copy of Halo 2 Vista for free. Contact me with an address where you would like your game sent. And if you can send me a picture of the shrine in your closet that’d be great just kidding.

Runner up goes to jdog10000 (Nothing but repect for second place though )

Dear Mr. Halogod,
I am not a very creative person, and therefore, I do not have good ideas. There are few things in this world that I am certain of. One of those things is that Halo 2 Vista should be sitting on my computer desk. The other thing I am certain of, is that you are a beautiful person Halogod. Thanks for the memories.

Love,
Jon

Thanks to everyone for participating. I will be holding another contest soon.

I personally have yet to preorder the game as I wasn’t sure if I would be attending a midnight launch party or not, so what I’ve decided to do is just preorder it from Best Buy and pick it up in the morning. If you still haven’t preordered the game you can do so through one of these links at Best Buy. Which version will you buy?

Halo 3 Standard Edition Halo 3 Limited Edition or the Halo 3 Legendary Edition ?

As a contract game tester at Microsoft, testers are often given the game that we tested for free after it is released. So for me, the first game I was contracted to test was Halo 2 Vista (pretty cool huh?). Anyway, I built a brand new computer and wanted to try playing Halo 2 Vista on it to see how my new machine handled it. I only planned to play it for a few hours, but after a couple hours a day for 5 days I have all of the achievements and don’t care to play the game anymore because I used to test H2V 40 hours a week for about 6 months!

Because I don’t care to keep the game anymore, I am going to give it away for free to anyone in the US. (I’ll have another contest that will involve everyone else later on). Because this game has been opened I want to make this contest really easy to win so here are the simple guidelines:

1. Register on this site and make a comment on this post in 3 sentences or less saying why you deserve to win the game over everyone else.

Yes. This is a really easy contest to win. Creativity and comedy count so keep that in mind when you write your short comment.

The best comment will be chosen by me on Sept. 22nd and the winner will be notified. You will have 48 hours to respond to the email that I will send to the winner with an address where you’d like the package sent or a new winner will be selected.

And although this isn’t a requirement of the contest, I’d appreciate it if you subscribe to my RSS feed. Subscribing will allow you to keep track of my newest videos and more contests. As I said before, I’ll have something for my foreign friends after Halo 3 is out.

Stick to your roots

Here is my third full Halo 2 montage, Stick to your roots. I always choose titles for my montages that mean something and I’m sure you’ll be able to pick up on a few things after watching this video. The song was created by my roommate back in college Andrew Lindberg with some help from Nate Moceri. I hope you enjoy this montage as much as I enjoyed creating it. And if you don’t get both of the references, perhaps you should revisit your roots. Enjoy!

I recently posted about a 7 foot tall Master Chief statue on eBay that sold for a little over $1,000, but this latest item will end up selling for even more. The Master Chief armor suit is one of the most accurate pieces of armor I’ve ever seen depicting the MC.

Currently the item sits at over $4,000 with 7 days remaining on the auction. Since I correctly guessed the price of the last item, I’m going to give it another shot. I predict this armor suit will break the $10,000 mark. According to the auction listing, it’s been on Spike TV, G4 TV and a Dell commercial. Here is the auction listing. What do you think it will sell for?

I filled out the application for the COD 4 beta on charlieoscardelta.com a few days after the website began accepting registrations and I got my beta key in the mail the next day. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing this game. I like how in the beta as you level up you gain access to new classes or features and I believe it helps to keep the game interesting. Has anyone else been playing this beta? My personal favorite has been to just find a decent spot to snipe and start taking shots. Every now and then, I still fill the need to move around more often than I really should be because I keep playing it like it’s Halo, where you normally have a little more freedom to move if you have a sniper.

Overall I think it’s a great game, but I really don’t think there is a whole lot of room for other FPS games after Halo 3 is out. What do you guys and gals think?
