Dude... That was... Unspeakably cool! I mean, not only was I mentioned, I had a speaking role! Freakin awesome! But I do sorta have one fear... Is everyone gonna start referring to me as "That kilt guy"?

haha, much thanks Wado. I love being in stories. :D

If you don't mind me poking fun at me not knowing who you are MasterGrunt, you are in the next one (Special Features, e.g. deleted scenes and bloopers).

Okey-dokey. Hey, as I said, I was glad that I was at least in it.

Yes I wanted to give many more people more lines but I found it hard to do with so many names in the story. So Walker, no hard feelings, you know I wanted to have more of you in the story, but I got pressed for time and ideas. I am indeed going to make a bloopers and deleted scenes with some more stuff. Not nearly the number of people as in the story so far but who knows, I think you will get a line or two.

And HBO'ers was referring to the prisoners that were from HBO, I think. I needed a good way to group them without being too vague. Mostly the prisoners were the forum posters but it could include anybody I put in the story that was a good guy I suppose. Sorry for the confusion.

DINK!

Wado, my submission(s!) to the HSP should defintely "get through" in your next fic :-)

All I'm saying, is that if I'm in the bloopers, your cat may not accidentally run into a car squishing itself. That's all I'm saying.

I'm the teeniest bit confused... does the term HBO'ers apply to all? Forum people, writers, and all the others? Or just a certain section? I'm assuming it's the former. Anyway, it was great, at the end of the story it actually felt like the end of a good play, which is a heartwarming feeling, if it's a good play. Don't get those too often at school. And you can't really appreciate them unless you were in them, as I've seen in plays I've done (always the main antagonist, of course) and the ones I haven't. Anywho, great story, I'm happy with my single mention, it was more than some got. (Though I wouldn't mind a line if you would be gracious enough to put me in the sequel... Lance Corporal Walker).

In the next story, if you don't get to bloopers. Make the uncut versions of us the shadowy strange figures that come from nowhere and crash down on the peace.

We aren't n00bs, but we aren't forum regulars. We are those who stalk in the shadows, and can bite you in the ass.

Thanks all for the comments. I did notice I had quite a few more grammar and related errors than I thought I did.

Anyway, anyways, anywise, Dispraiser, in reference to your grammar question:

You can use anyway, anyways or anywise; however, "anyway" is the standard.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=anyway

That means that anyways and anywise are non-standard. I think people originally used "anyways" to either be funny, make a joke on grammar, or to stand out in the crowd. Now you can see it used more in a serious manner. I stick with "anyway" because that's what I was taught, besides I grew up with Journey and "Any way you want it, that's the way you'll get it..." or something like that for song lyrics.

Hehe, LOL, this was great!!! I can't believe I laughed out loud so many times, that's the first ever time I've done that except for Jillybean's HBO Halloween :) Great job!! Please say you're writing more *great big puppy-dog eyes*

Ahhhhh now this was a good story. Some of them have it all, you know.
They make you laugh - (Shishka, Lord of the Skies)
They make you fear - (Army of Noobs)
They make you proud - (I was in it!!! And I had lines!!!)
They make you cry - (Really, red and green?????)

This one had it all.

(And now you'll be forced to write more - at SPAM point if necessary)

See ya around Twinkie

It's good to be mentioned in your story. Good job, Wado. :)

Dispraiser, I believe it's a matter of who's talking. Some people will say 'anyway,' and some will say 'anyways.' Or at least I think so. Right, Wado?

Indeed, Wado, it was a hilarious story and I liked how you portrayed the N00bs. Classic...

I finally got in one of these forum based ones.... Yay!

Actually, Wado, I have a grammar question for you.... When you use anyway then a comma

ex.
"So anyway, this is the fanfic"
is it anyway or anyways? Anyways always sounded right to me, but i never knew which to use, and I saw you use anyway in this fanfic, so I figured I'd ask.

I had a total of two lines in this series, this rocks!

It is indeed true that the story is mightier than the SPAM...and that all of us were N00bs at one point. I well recall the early hours of my Halo adventures, pointing my Assault Rifle to the ceiling and causing wanton collatoral (spelling error imminent) damage to the Pillar of Autumn in my inability to aim forward.

At one point in time, I, like all of us, could not shoot an Elite for the life of me. None of us here today who can kick the bloody spewing cr@p out of just about everything on Legendary difficulty did not once hide behind our Marines on Easy difficulty and take ten seconds to aim a pistol shot to the head.

A toast to all N00bs! Today is Veterans Day, and we shall strive to set an example for N00bs everywhere so that we may yet leave a legacy of ourselves when we all get Carpal Tunnel and can't play Halo anymore.

...and also to stamp out that verdamntem use of "Flug" and "|33+ $p3@|

That rocked Wado. Awesome job, I was really blown away at how many times I found myself laughing out loud. I love the fact that I played such a huge role, they love me, they really love me. I can walk again!!!!!! But on the other hand I'm scarred for life because of seeing Wu in a red and green tutu.

OMG, Mainevent, are you sure you are not in there. Darn, how could I forget to have you in there and Simpsons Rule too, and probably others.

Let it be known that Mainevent was in the story and so was Simpsons Rule and some others but somehow between edits of the story, I must have cut some names out. I'll have to do a bloopers and deleted scenes, so if I missed you let me know here and I'll try to dig up all the trashy, I mean classy stuff that went to the cutting room floor.

*steps out of the shadows with a bag over his hand, two muffled thumps later he disappears into the shadows never to be seen again*

*meanwhile, at the same time that the guy walked out of the shadows, Wado coincidentally ran into two 9mm bullets that were suspended in midair.*
