We were all heroes

January 21st, 2010

Five brave souls ventured into the Halo 3 universe to help Bungie collect money for the Red Cross. Now, of course we wanted a good place to take some screenshots of our awesome team (Called Attackstyrka Z btw) and we (read I) chose a nice place on Sandtrap. It wasn’t withouttrouble we got up there. It all started with Deadwoods Epic fail out of the Banshee:

After that, there were many similar tries with people falling out in the wrong place. Then Tjacke came along and landed the banshee me, pushing me off the edge:

When I was about to flip the banshee and go up for an awesome group pic, Deadwood thought it would be a good idea to practice his grenade tossing skills:

..But as you can see that didn’t end well for him. A while later everyone finally got up there. From left to right – Talinth | Axegurra | Deadwood | Frantic swede | Tjacke :

Then all of a sudden shit started to explode:

…and Axegurra was like, wtf is going on? and Talinth was like wtf I dunno?

And of course, we wouldn’t be heroes without the emble. Here’s Deadwood showing of his falling down skills and his emblem at the same time:

All in all it was a successful event for us and we won a bunch of games, pising off some very young americans. Each of us gathered 0,1$ if my math is correct which it probably isn’t. “yay”?
