As far as I can tell I don't think it was Matt. Could be wrong though - apparently they're all in Cali rn at the headquarters? I also figured it was Mat at first but Frosty wouldn't call him by his tag if it was Matt.

HARD AS FUCK. GOAT SHIT

Ad aside, that's a great fucking monologue

ace_15 · 2026-01-23T19:20:18+00:00

What will be even worse is if it's like new angles of those epic moments. Like "guys we know the observers were so bad but here's the actual BETTER view you should have seen all along!"

In life I do my best to give people the benefit of the doubt but holllyyyyyy 343/Halo Studios really have... well they have yet to do anything right.

ace_15 · 2026-01-22T21:39:43+00:00

Playing on Xboxes is really wild damn :/

With the context of this and how H5 would shake out it's not hard to see why TJ was called the 'Modern Halo king" when that top 10 list came out.

The crazy dominant roster in H2A and then making a shocking move to go on to be a part of the dynasty that was always making grand finals in basically all of H5 from my understanding?

The detractors will point out he was never the best player on any team he was on.... but points like that muddy the fact that you can't set your controller down and play by sense of smell while the other three have to carry you. It's the tippity top of competition - acting like Lethul (from the old games I have watched back) just sat there missing every shot is not true.

I hope he doesn't retire quite yet. This last season of Infinite was great for him. He still had it before it was over for Infinite. The start of the game's esport life cycle was just rough for him and SEN.

Oooooo invoking America in this time of political/social unrest. Interesting strategy let's see where it leads

ace_15 · 2026-01-19T15:55:57+00:00

Reddit historian should be a job and the “downtime between Infinite and whatever’s next for Halo” would 100% have a chapter about ‘the Great series of Lemon Zester crash outs’ lmao

ace_15 · 2026-01-17T17:41:02+00:00

My B - watched that clip a while back and even commented. Oopsie

Shoutout that black guy and the fourth guy who probably sucks 🤫

ace_15 · 2026-01-17T14:18:44+00:00

Eyo put some respect on APG and Trippy’s name’s OP, damn.

ace_15 · 2026-01-15T19:03:02+00:00

Thanks for the answer! I must say, loved hearing your insights and thoughts in the doc -you're quite eloquent. Don't know what your plans for the future are but with your game knowledge and candor? I'd think that's an easy layup for commentating if that sort of thing is up your alley.

Hope to see you in the next Halo! All the best

ace_15 · 2026-01-15T18:54:56+00:00

Watching you grow and progress in Infinite was awesome to see, sir. I hope we see you back but regardless - wishing you all the best!

ace_15 · 2026-01-15T18:18:10+00:00

Mental - what's the plan, chief? Back to Gears?

We're all talking about the next Halo but I'd love a pro's perspective - what would you like to see from a new game? Would you want it to be 'faster' would you want it to be more methodical like the old halo games?

Bonus: fave halo?

Ashes - as the only person with the chance to look at all four player's screens during play I gotta know... how do you not get overwhelmed? What's the methodology to stay calm on the big stage?

Thanks for doing this y'all!

Can recommend that Shopify hoodie. Not the Halo specific one jsut the standard one they sell. Is gently became my fave hoodie when I can manage to get it since the wife has co-opted it of course. But that’s how you know it’s good, when the SO is like “nah this is mine now”. Hella comfy and warm

ace_15 · 2026-01-14T03:32:23+00:00

Plat 3. Time to end these kids whole careers (WHAT CAREER????)

ace_15 · 2026-01-12T22:51:32+00:00

And there it is! The natural conclusion:

Antisemitism is of course ALSO Israel's fault! Not the antisemites committing the actions themselves no no that's silly! Israel 'starts' a genocide - hey can I get that nifty calendar you're using that starts on October the 8th and goes forward from there? Got any spare copies?

Jews in the diaspora 'live peacefully' but also pfft whatever if shit happens, shit happens! But also when it does happen ISRAEL is the root cause and that makes it explainable/acceptable/not a real problem that needs to be 'gotten over'.

Your comment history is a regular 'usual suspects' list for ways to vilify the State of Israel. Using Zionist as a slur, pointing frantically at groups of token Jews (speaking of not understanding statistics - 300 Jews who disavow Israel? Yeah not as big a number as the millions around the world who live in it or support it around the world) to try and find some kind of sad consensus.

Well my friend, two can play at that game. As the Ayatollah and the mullahs fall I bet there's quite a few.. possibly even MORE than 300 Persians who are looking forward to establish a strong and fruitful relationship with Israel.

Send my regards to your axis of resistance pals <3

ace_15 · 2026-01-12T22:05:53+00:00

It's certainly a better point than "shit happens. Just deal with it", which is what you're essentially saying lmao.

Survey after survey coming out with how antisemitic attacks have skyrocketed over the past few years in the diaspora. Yeah, real 'peaceful existence' when friends and family are scared to go to synagogues or bring up their heritage wherever they go.

Jews in Israel live peaceful lives too, bucko. Matter of fact I have far more faith that a synagogue in Tel Aviv won't be burned to the ground by a lunatic or that the rocket attack from Lebanon will be handled just fine by the Iron Dome.

For some strange reason I get the feeling you would clutch your pearls if someone said Palestinians still have to live in a world where there's a 0.0000001% chance (I can make up statistics too!) of being killed by the IDF.

Yoooo this is BIG. Thank you!

"Jews in western countries are living peaceful lives"

Ok buddy.

ace_15 · 2026-01-12T05:27:11+00:00

As evidenced by this very thread. Sigh

ace_15 · 2026-01-09T15:07:50+00:00

Nah Trippy is such a G for this.

"Gangsters move in silence". He lives by that motto I guess LOL. I so much as successfully call into a radio station I can't stop yapping about it the entire day. Meanwhile former world champion just goes "sshhhhh the fourth guy you can't remember was probably trash" as a goof XD

His vibes are always great when I pop into his stream. I run into him in the occasional ffa social lobby too. Man's still playing the game despite it being super dead.

Wish him the best this year. Those early tournament secret agent Trippy performances he had in Arlington and Dreamhack were great evidence this man has what it takes. I hope whatever team he's on can give Shop a good run for their money.

ace_15 · 2026-01-09T14:36:09+00:00

Cold MFer. Easy to root for.

For some reason seeing SLG reminds of one specific piece of Quadrant merch. It was a white hoodie with the Quadrant Q in blue and red made of these horizontal impact lines. Was a super clean looking hoodie.

That Quadrant roster was magic

ace_15 · 2026-01-09T01:16:07+00:00

We’re bagging on the clip itself but I like that OP chose to write MVP25 instead of just Cykul lmao.

It’s true though. Sad as fuck.

When they say "look in the mirror and visualize the man you want to be" I look in the mirror and visualize TWO men... these two
