So I'm pretty new to the forums as you can see from my post count/ join date, but I really am enjoying these forums a lot more than MLG's. So let me start off with an intro of sorts. I've been following mlg for about 5 years now and I've only attended one event, Charlotte 07. I don't post much on the MLG forums because someone is always there to flame you. So other than that i'll tell you that I am 19, I'm in the army, and I just started college :p. Oh and btw if you guys don't like this idea please tell me but not in a way that flames this thread/post or me lol.

Welcome to the greatest place in the world.... Ok, that goes to Taco Bell, but still...

Anyways, the Army? Impressive. I'm too lazy to do something like that.

About me.... eh.. hmm... I'm 20, I play Ultimate Frisbee. I LOVE Halo, of course. I love this site, duh. I am the biggest Instinct fan.... in the world. My real name is David. I'm a nerd that goes to the 18th ranked university in the nation (Emory). My major is Chemistry atm. I'm a junior. Err... I love all kinds of music... Screamo, hardcore, pop, hip-hop, some metal, techno, R&B, acoustic, alternative, rock, trance/dance/rave, etc.

And... for once I want to get paired up with an Instinct player in matchmaking. Idk why Bungie does this to me! I'm constantly getting paired up with/against Clutch, Demon D, Karma, etc... but NEVER Cloud, Roy, LBX, or Elamite. :( FML.

Welcome!
I like this idea as most larger forums do have an Introduction/New to the forums "Section" for similar topics.

Well I guess it would only be appropriate to introduce myself next. My name is Sheldon and I'm 20 years old, I too am addicted to Halo. I've been a fan of MLG since about 2007 but more closely following it since 2009 (Last year), yet to actually go to an event. Halo has been my favorite game since I first picked up a friends controller and played Halo 2 on xbox live back in 2005. I can remember putting in countless hours playing custom games just TRYING to get better to beat all my online friends. Competition is in my nature and thats why I love Halo. I work for T-mobile USA as a Sr. Rep in Customer Service and am currently not enrolled in College. I do play with 3 other friends and we HOPE to be an actual team in Halo Reach, possibly play at a few events through 2011.

Welcome! This is great idea and let's everyone get to know each other better.

My name is Michael. I'm 18 years old and currently a senior in high school and soon going to be going to USC. I've been following MLG for about 2 years. I like college football, competitive games, and partying. I've never been to an event but plan on going to ones in the future.

Yea if you wanna play add me on "H is for Heuer" i really wanna play customs tonight if enough people can

I guess I should post little thing about me here as well.

My name is Jeremy Heuer and I just turned 21 earlier this month. I'm going to college at Kettering University and am majoring in Computer Science with a Concentration in System and Data Security with a Business Minor as well. That keeps me extremely busy during the 6 months of the year that I have school. The other 6 months I work for an IT company back home in Fargo, ND. I've been following MLG for a good while now (beginning of 2006 I believe) but haven't started getting really into it until quite recently. I've only been to two events (Cbus '10 / Raleigh '10) and absolutely loved both of them. I drove over 14 hours to get to Raleigh and between 17-20 to get to Columbus. I like any kinds of music that don't suck which is very vague but I like some things in a genre but not others. My favorite music is trance and more specifically Armin van Buuren and DJ Tiesto.

If I think of more to add here I'll do so but lack of sleep is probably making me forget some things.

I'm 17 and a Senior at my High school in the boring town of Fulton, Missouri. I <3 Halo. I just recently started following MLG in the 2009 season. Snipedown is my favorite player (: Im a 42, not in MLG. I need BR Work, not to good. I like to think im decent with the sniper. I choke when im under pressure most of the time. I recently switched to Bumper Jumper and play with 2 sensitivity. I work at a local college washing dishes, it isn't fun. I'm currently moving into a new apartment, so I'm out of internet atm. We get internet hooked up the day we move in though (: I will do most of my postings during school hours. Not to active on the MLG, seeing as they flame ): and I'm not a big fan of fire, haha.

Hello i am Araneatrox(Aran-a-trox is how its pronounced) I am currently self employed and i graduated university about 6 months ago with a 2:2 in Computer Games Design. It took 3 years at university for me to realised that i really don't want to work as a game designer, i had too many breakdowns half way through assignments.

Anyways, im 22 and i currently live in the UK. Hoping to emigrate to Canada at some point in the next few years. But i will see.

Hey Im RiF. My real name is Bobby, I'm 22 years old and am in my senior year of college. I play college basketball at a small college in SW Missouri. I have been following MLG off and on for about 4 years now ( more intensely in the last few months). Been playing Halo since CE, was going to go to an event in H2 but 2 of my teammates got arrested a couple days before the event (I know bummer right?). Thats about it I'm really stoked for Reach and can't wait til the next LAN. Keep up the good work TLN Staff.

Hello everyone I'm Joel. My gamertag is Antidote4Life. I'm 19 years old and currently living in Illinois attending college. Been following MLG since H2. Been a huge Karma and he has been my favorite pro for years. Playing a single game with him is on that check list that is my life goals. Now that I'm in college and with some more flexibilty in my schedule I'm looking forward to attending more MLG events for Reach. Love having a good LAN when I can find the people and I'm pretty much always up for customs with some friendly people. I'm new here but really liking these forums and hoping to get into this site a bit more over time.

My name is Karl, I'm 20 years old and a junior playing soccer for the same college as RiF. Been playing FPS since CS 1.5 and was very competitive in the CAL leagues, reaching up to cal-m. Later on I got into WoW with some friends and advanced in that game to the top tier in Arena and in Raiding. Sold my WoW account for $800, picked up a 360 and started playing Cod 4 with friends. Since I was raised on WASD and a mouse, it took me a long time getting comfortable with a controller, which was very frustrating being used to the high competition in CS. I started getting involved in scrims with CoD 4, but found out getting on a good team is all about the people you know. And I can't stand networking with people on xbox live. Played some MW2, but that game is going nowhere, which lead me to start H3 fairly recently. Now I'm excited to be able to start fresh with Reach and learn with everyone, and maybe even compete in some events.

Anyway, I can't believe I never hit this thread up. I was going to create one of these earlier when I saw vorlin's thread, but I knew there had to be one already. Search doesn't work on my work computer though.

Ahem, I'm Eli. You can call me Forefront, or Eli. If you're a hot girl you can call me Elliott, but no brownie points cuz I'm in one of those long term relationship thingys. I'm 23, and separating from the Marine Corps in November 2010. I was going to start a LAN center, but decided that I could make more money doing other things. I love MLG, and feel like I have a responsibility to this community to take the life experience that has been crammed into my short life, and turn it into a positive influence. I really want to be a role model for the younger members, and hope that my face will be recognizable by most of you in the near future. Not as a player, but as someone who is important to MLG and TLN. I'm a writer, an MMA practitioner, a singer, a poker player... lots of hobbies. I hope that you guys enjoy the site as much as the rest of us have. I know magik has made his mark since he started this thread. :) If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know. I will give you an answer, or find someone who can.

Hello TLN community my name is Jack i've been following MLG since early 2008 I post on the MLG foums a lot but from what I can see these forums are definitely a nicer community. I'm currently a senior at High School my future carrer interests are film, and criminal justice. Me and my brother have the dream of going pro but if it doesn't happen that's ok because before MLG me and my brother never really did anything together and now we have a fun dream in common and that's good enough for me. I hope to contribute to this community anyway I can. :)

Good luck on that pro status! Even if you can't make it. Just competing is a blast and a worth while experience.

minor pain
11-04-2010, 09:23 AM
Ha, I can't believe I never hit this thread and made an intro of myself... Well here goes:

I'm minor pain, or Allen, whichever. I dunno how long I've been following mlg... Mabye 2-3 years? Magik originally got me into mlg and I've been teaming with him on and off since. I've never personally been on a team without him, so anything about mlg, etc, I owe to him. Thanks magik!

My goal with being on a team is not necessarily to be an uber pro, though that would be awesome. All I really want is just to be able to compete against the pros, give them some real competition, take a few games from them, on the main stage. I just want to know what it feels like to play in front of fans at the biggest of the tournaments known to halo-kind :P. I feel with Bring the Rain (BtR), my goal can become a reality. No we aren't the best team out there, be we have some great raw chemistry, clicks, and skill, of which we are working to harness.

Shortly after comming back to competative halo when reach came out, magik told me about the lan network. When I first checked it out, honestly, I thought its just a set of forums, where people probably flame like mlg forums, and that I would be inactive shortly after. However, I joined to use it as a resource to get scrimages for our team. Quickly thereafter, I realized that TLN was much much more than a simple set of forums. When I joined I was warmly welcomed, and quickly made some friends from TLN. Now at least once a day, I'm playing customs with people I met in TLN, and we have some great times. Then I come to find out that the pros play at TLN headquarters (the basement), and I thought that was pretty awesome. Even grabbed membership so I can watch streams, but more importantly, to support the website. I'm sucked into the site everyday to catch up on the latest news and to see how the community is doing.

Now I have a new goal in mind. In addition to striving for that main stage appearance, I'm striving for a chance to make an appearance in the basement, where we (BtR) can compete against the pros, and give them a good challenge. Though we still have some work to do before we'll be able to make a good challenge. :P.

I want to thank all of the lan network for all of your support for BtR. I mean, we even have a fan page that even made it to the most popular threads list. That's amazing! That just makes me strive even more knowing I have people chearing us on! I also want to thank D_Moralize for his amazing work on our logo, speaker tags, etc. We were so picky and he put up with us, even though the payout wasn't much, although, I have a feeling that he would have done it without a payout because he's just that awesome of a guy. Thanks :). Also, I wish to thank magik. Like I said earlier he's the reason I even know abou mlg, TLN, and even a lot of my in game skill.He's truely a great friend! And finally, I want to thank Mr. P for the creation of this website, thus bringing together an amazing community.

I'm looking forward to more great times with this community, and hopefully soon, the community will be watching our stream from the basement. :D

Dang Idk how I am going to compete with minor pains post.

Well I am Sabrea or Jonny I have been following MLG since Halo 1 when I was a kid. I have been a FB fan since Halo 2 when it was Sayain O1 O2 and Walshy I have always been in awe about the MLG community and the people that compete in it. I found TLN back in may. I couldn't watch any POV due to the fact that I had no money at the time so I really didn't have much interest plus you had to pay to even enter the site if I remember right. About myself I am a baseball player for my Varsity team I surf and I am a photography and I am VERY tall for my age which is 17 and I am 6"5 I was 6"0 when I was 13 so I haven't grown since then. Anyway I have enjoyed playing and talking to the community and I plan on being here for a long time!

Ha, I can't believe I never hit this thread and made an intro of myself... Well here goes:

I'm minor pain, or Allen, whichever. I dunno how long I've been following mlg... Mabye 2-3 years? Magik originally got me into mlg and I've been teaming with him on and off since. I've never personally been on a team without him, so anything about mlg, etc, I owe to him. Thanks magik!

My goal with being on a team is not necessarily to be an uber pro, though that would be awesome. All I really want is just to be able to compete against the pros, give them some real competition, take a few games from them, on the main stage. I just want to know what it feels like to play in front of fans at the biggest of the tournaments known to halo-kind :P. I feel with Bring the Rain (BtR), my goal can become a reality. No we aren't the best team out there, be we have some great raw chemistry, clicks, and skill, of which we are working to harness.

Shortly after comming back to competative halo when reach came out, magik told me about the lan network. When I first checked it out, honestly, I thought its just a set of forums, where peiple probably flame like mlg forums, and that I would be inactive shortly after. However, I joined to use it as a resource to get scrimages for our team. Quickly thereafter, I realized that tln was much much more than a simple set of forums. When I joined I was warmly welcomed, and quickly made some friends from tln. Now at least once a day, I'm playing customs with people I met in tln, and we havesome great times. Then I come to find out that the pros play at tln headquarters (the basement), and I thought that was pretty awesome. Even grabbed membership so I can watch streams, but more importantly, to support the website. I'm sucked into the site everyday to catch up on the latest news, and to see how the community is doing.

Now I have a new goal in mind. In addition to striving for that main stage appearance, I'm striving for a chance to.make an appearance in the basement, where we (BtR) can compete against the pros, and give them a good challenge. Though we still have some work to do before we'll be able to make a good challenge. :P.

I want to thank all of the lan network for all of your support for BtR. I mean, we even have a fan page that even made it to the most popular threads list. That's amazing! That just makes me strive even more knowing I have people chearing us on! I also want to thank D_Moralize for his amazing work on our logo, speaker tags etc. We were so picky and he put up with us, even though the payout wasn't much, although, I have a feeling that he would have done it without a payout because he's just that awesome of a guy. Thanks :). Also, I wish to thank magik. Like I said earlier he's the reason I even know abou mlg, tln, and even a lot of my in game skill.He's truely a great friend! And finally, I want to thank Mr. P for the creation of this website, thus bringing together an amazing community.

I'm looking forward to more great times with this community, and hopefully soon, the community will be watching our stream from the basement. :D
Thanks Minor means a lot man. You've always been a good friend since the quality foods days. If you ever need anything you know who to call lol.

im 19, i am working full time in i level avionics a mcas cherry point, i go to college for engineering as well, picked up halo right at halo ce, i started following mlg 6 months after halo 2 came out, i used to go to lots of local lans in california (central cali where im from) i ran with the matrix lounge, buddys gaming, and level one, and team randoms of course. im trying to get a team together but its hard to find people that can actually attend events.. which was my biggest motivation on joining TLN.
i took some time off cause my training for my job was hectic but now that im settled im trying to pick it up again and i plan to attend any and all tourneys next year (granted that i have a team)


but thats all for now if you wanna know more add me on xbl or on facebook.com/thisguypwnage

much love TLN... thanks magik for a good thread

my old gt was Gunade, or Abstract e2k. i was really not that known in the halo community a few months ago. i used to play gow competivly. then i moved on to h3 once gow was taken off mlg circiut. before halo though i played cod4 for only 3 months and got pro points from pcl 3. i was suppose to coach NOX gaming for nats but 1 player could not travel. when i went to h3 i was awful at the game i was a legit 15 in mlg. i played h3 for 3 months and already got to a 45 in mlg which i think is pretty good. one of my friends owned a website called teame2k.com. this were i started to get recognized in halo 3. he told me to find him a team to sponsor i picked SQ and had been talking to flamesword for weeks about it. at first he did not really believe me that is was real becuaze i was just some random kid that most pros woould not even respond too. but i finnaly got him to have a meeting with the manager of e2k (bronx) and the owner (Legend). Everything worked out great and there still sponsored by them as i speak. Then me and my friend came up with sponsoring tD as like a side sponsor. i had liked tln and all so i thought that would be a great idea. i had talked to totz about it and he said sure. it started out ok but then totz just kept delaying us so i said forget it even though we basically gave stuff he gave us nothing that we promised in return. regardless to say im still a fan of totz and anyone from tln. Another team that i helped was final boss i had became good friends with fearitself from it. Right now im looking for a team to coach preferably top 16 but top 32 is fine as well. Some teams that iwas going to coach were hot n mild,the Nsan3z, a few others i cant recall. If anyone from tln wants to play my gt is FataL on T3. i love to help out any1 with anything im just that kind, not just in gaming but in real life too. my aim is Ryanizo9 if u want to talk to me there. I have a few shout outs to some people that helped me as far as i got today. Bronx,fearitself,dreadful(my partner),ghostayame and B C = the best friends ever on xbl. i know this was a long post but i just had to get it out there about my career in gaming lol. irl im a senior in highschool and play travel for basketball and hang out with my friends at the mall or my place.

Let's see...My name is Cody Allen. I'm 17 and go to Saugerties High School. I started following MLG at the very end of 2007 and my favorite team was Carbon right up until ShocKWav3 retired and I decided to follow Ghost, Karma and Side to whatever teams they end up on. I obviously like to play Halo. My favorite movies are Highlander, Donnie Darko, Rocky and Citizen Kane to name a few. I enjoy writing and reading. I've written one full length screenplay (The Gathering/Crawlers) and have three others outlined. I'm also extremely interested in politics and American History.

Woohoo Hook 'Em Horns!

My name is Damian aka KRILLIN. I'm an '03 member on the MLG forums and will be a part of the event staff this year for MLG. I have a fitness thread on MLG that has been quite successful. I posted it on here but I don't think anyone reads it lol. I am a school teacher and coach and love my job.

I really enjoy Halo but I have a very bad temper so I don't usually play with others much lol. Also, I suck so people usually don't like playing with me because it's a guaranteed loss haha. TLN is really cool and I enjoy watching the streams and interacting with the other Premium members during LANs. The Gaming House is going to be sick, the videos are great and I love Totz! He's so crazy. Really makes me wish I had the support he has sometimes. I should be a pro something or other in sports but unfortunately I had no guidance growing up and moved out when I was 16. Still had a pretty good athletic career because of my genes but it could have been a LOT better. ANYWAYS, enough COL.

Favorite team is Final Boss or whatever team Ogre 2 is on. Been a fan of he and his brother since 2003 or so. Instinct and SQ follow closely behind. I have some good buds on both squads and really hope they do well this year. Can't wait to see it in person.

Hello everyone,
My name is Will, I'm new around these parts. I run a clan MLG and BTB based called Lethal Silence. Strictly Reach- Basically, the clan helps people who aren't so good get the basics down, then eventually get them on a team. The teams run customs against one another and we hold tourneys, it's a load of fun. looking to get more good players in here and getting the clan sponsored soon. But less about my clan and more about me. I'm 18, studying in college to start a business. In MLG I'm more of a support player, but I go clutch when I need to. I'm into Martial Arts and Parkour aside from gaming. I also play Piano, I play well naturally but I'm not amazing. Um...what else...Oh I pwn at Super Smash Bros Brawl, that was my thing before Halo. I'm in California, hoping some MLG events are hosted nearby soon so I can get in there. If I gave the wrong impression; I'm not here to recruit for LS, though I'll welcome anyone interested. I'm just here to talk with the community and make some friends. ;)
