I feel like somehow, @anyaustin.bsky.social nitpicking Rockstar is somehow causing these delays (I still love your videos, we can work it out)

I try to make stuff in the mindset of "I'd like to hang out there" And I absolutely would love to hang out on this riverside path I'll try to share some of my #unrealengine content as I work further

Beware the Hyper Hog

It took way longer than I expected, but I have updated my Xbox 360 models for Halo Reach When I ported them to H3, I fixed the weird power button curve not really being a curve. I brought those models over to Reach today for a simple little improvement.

Cursed ODST received another patch fixing Coastal Highway's scripts not progressing at the end. It's now at v2.3! I love my mods and want them to be their absolute best.

I've pushed updates today to 4 mods! Cursed ODST, and the Gruntpocalypse mods (campaign, multiplayer and firefight) Bug fixes and general optimizations/polishing, but I'm trying to continuously make these all better experiences!

My wife and I are going through an OOT/MM Combo Randomizer, and with randomized entrances, it's hard to remember where to go I'm developing a full application to track paths, drop down lists of locations from both games, notes, and more #zelda #randomizer #ootmm #c++ #softwaredevelopment

Halo 4 be like... #halo #halomemes

In the last few months, I've pushed updates for: - Cursed Halo 3 up to the current 4.0.8 version - Cursed Halo 3 ODST up to the current 2.0.1 version - Cursed Halo Reach up to the current 1.7 version All three mods are in incredibly good states, and I couldn't be happier. #halo #halomods #mods

The (un?)holy Halo subscriber count

- Launch Halo Infinite - Load into Squad Battle since it's usually a more casual BTB - Get stomped by enemy team due to horrible SBMM - Top of our team harasses us in chat and calls us all trash for not being at the skill level of the matchmaking Modern online matchmaking is exhausting and not fun

This version of Lockout in Halo 3 (from Halo Online) deserves to be played and seen more. My little lore goblin brain loves the idea of playing on the fried Halo ring. One of the most beautiful skyboxes in all of Halo

I watched a YT vid from 2022 by @tednivison.com and it's funny comparing to the Halo show that wasn't out yet Mostly his complaints of Paramount taking a known franchise and changing unnecessary details that stray from the original thing people loved about the IP. Maybe they'll eventually learn?

"New year, new me!" The new me:

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Happy 2025 everyone! I appreciate all the new followers from this last year, and have plans to do some fun things this next year with my community and fellow modders! 2025 will hopefully be a good, productive year!

I'm obsessed currently with the reflective visor, but it's insane that a game from 2007 can do this so clean and clear #halo #reflective

Did you know Halo 3 supports full real-time reflection in its visors? AFAIK it's unfortunately limited to one character, as all visors with real time reflections set will display only one player's visor, but still incredibly crisp looking! It's amazing what Bungie made in 2007 #halo #halo3 #bungie

After 26 years of playing Ocarina of Time, I only just realized why it's called Lon Lon Ranch. The owner, Talon, has a daughter Malon. TaLON, MaLON... I'll be over here pondering life now

Welp, I just had the most fitting Master Chief death in all of Fortnite. Final 2, and I got sent into the water, followed immediately by a flying vehicle that crushed me. And his name was S11717 I hope he got a Splatter medal

Clearly my post with 2 likes was the kick in the butt that @xbox.com and Epic needed to bring Chief back. You're welcome

I'm burning the midnight oil on this one, and probably focusing too much on it, but my Cursed Halo 3: ODST is now updated to v2.0! 18 new weapons, a new vehicle, new random effects, added dual wielding, and more! Get it on Steam here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #halo #halomods #cursedhalo

Fun fact: When making the Blood/Earth Rifles, I originally was going to have 4 elemental versions which, when at ~75% battery, they'd explode and replace themselves with one of the other elemental types. The name for the Blood Rifle at 100% charge still lingers, but the concept is gone

The fun thing of going back to old mods is I 100% forget what I wrote as little jokes in flavor text. ODST HUD running on Windows 95 confirmed

I finally fixed the Saxophone not showing up in cutscenes after almost 2 years of this mod being out. It was a simple issue that I just didn't know enough about at the time. But now? You know the music. Time to dance.

Just an ODST and his buddies

MRW my friend won't play Xbox with me #halo #halomods #odst

In Halo Reach, I was able to make pop-up ads appear for a few seconds to distract players and block their screen. This unfortunately was not a feature yet for Halo 3 However, in ODST? ODST has a lot of Reach's features with Halo 3's engine, it's a great blend. Pop up ads return!

Thanks to my Steam year in review, I can see clearly when I was working most on my mods. I haven't really played Halo outside of testing mods in a while, so this is a fun insight on my development time

A little more of an update for porting weapons to ODST. I still have a bit to do, but it's a super simple workflow going from H3->ODST.

Me, seeing everyone posting their Spotify wrapped, while I'm still using the Zune software with no ads in 2024

I guess I've been hanging around for quite a while

Well, in good news, a lot of my work done for Halo 3 is a simple drag-and-drop over to ODST. It's not *perfect* for every weapon, but it saves me an insane amount of time when I eventually decide to go into fixing up my ODST mod Those fingers holding the Series X need work... #halo #halomods #xbox

The free AstroBot demo on PS5 was such a good game, and I was so excited for a real game when it was announced From the minute my wife and I started to getting the Platinum, we absolutely loved the game. 100% deserving of GOTY, and I hope more companies start making classic, good platformers.

I recorded all of the major edited cutscenes and in-game cinematic moments that I made for my Cursed Halo 3 mod! Fun fact, this took 3.5 hours to render in 4K! Please make it worth my poor PC's hard efforts and give it a watch! #halo #halomods #halo3 youtu.be/GrTt3kdUzQY?...

Alright y'all, what are your favorite go-to Christmas movies? I need to find something new and stop watching the same 5 #christmas #christmasmovies

Just spent 3 hours rendering a video only to realize I forgot a major part of it, and now need to do it all again. Hooray!

I don't ever expect much from my YouTube views, but hitting 30k views for this video is incredible! I have a few good ideas in mind for new Halo insights that I've never seen covered, so keep tuned!

I swear if the next #halo has this same broken SBMM that Infinite has, then it's DOA. It's hard to encourage people to come back and play when, after a month of no playing, I come back to 6 losses straight. It is, without a doubt, the worst matchmaking I've ever experienced.

I agree whole heartedly with @mintblitz.bsky.social, Delta Arena should have become its own playlist of classic maps with classic movement Adding to quick play is just so muddied and unnecessary Each playlist should feel distinctly unique, not thrown all together

This is the funniest joke I'll ever make, it's been all down hill from here. Thanks for your sacrifice, Jun

Are you interested in seeing a variety of upcoming mods for Halo? Go follow @halomods.com and keep yourself updated!

Hey to all my new followers, thanks for getting me to 50 so quickly! Let's all have a moment together. I want you to brag, about whatever was great for you this year. Share something incredible that happened or that you're proud of and want to share to the world!

And just like that, we've hit 70,000 active subscribers!! Thank you to everyone who has supported and downloaded my mods. 3 years ago, I didn't expect my tinkering with the Halo 3 mod tools to amount to anything, but it's been really cool to see people laugh at my silly jokes #halo #halomods #mcc

I've decided on a theme for my 3,000 subscriber special vid on YouTube, and this is starting out insane already

At this point, I suspect GTA VI is done, but Rockstar is furiously making sure any deep dives by @anyaustin.bsky.social are thorough and logical. They're going to take a full year to polish their rivers, streams, and power line structures

Hooooly cow this video has done great! I have a plan for my 3,000 sub special, I'll try to start working on it next week

My last video discussing a previously unknown skull effect in Halo 3 has put me over the 3,000 subscriber mark! I want to do something to celebrate that, but I'm not sure what just yet 🤔

gasnort

New video up today, this time going into details of a previously unknown skull effect in Halo 3! Thanks to @trouzrschnauzer.bsky.social for helping test and figure out what this hidden effect was! Please check it out, and like/comment if able! youtu.be/wLCMOU-Rbsw?... #halo #halo3 #halomcc
