    So I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the 17 seconds of footage before every other video I load on here, but it's a small price to pay in order to enjoy this site.  And the vid isnt all that bad actually... 
     
    But!!  A couple of hours ago, Dave issued a challenge for us users.  I'll quote him: 
     
    enemykite  1500 people currently in the ODST wiki and achievement contests. If we get to 6k I'll get @taswell to shave my head and scream in hungarian. about 2 hours ago  from Twitterrific"   
    "enemykite  Gonna regret that last tweet about 2 hours ago  from Twitterrific"     
     
    That bit got me suckered in.  I added the 'Expansion' concept to ODST, thanks to what Jeff said at 44 seconds into his video review. 
     
    So I've added to this madness, but oh would I like to see Ryan caress the Dome of Dave with a straight edge via movie....

    We should post this on the Bungie forums so Dave has to shave his head.

    6k is a huge jump from 1.5k, especially since it's people entered not points/achievements earned.

    Alright, I'm gonna go study for a bit then stuff my face with dinner.  If one of us hasn't posted to the Bungie forums yet, I'll do it afterwards.  I don't have an account there, so I don't wanna make it seem like I'm spamming, so if one of ya'll have an account set up over there, please get word out about this amazingawesomeastounding event-to-be.

    God damn it that language is NOT Hungarian. I speak Hungarian fluently (hungarian/american dual citizen) and I can tell you with 100% certainty that that is NOT Hungarian. It sounds like Czech or Polish, but it sure as hell isn't Hungarian (barring when he says lojj at the beginning, which means shoot in Hungarian, but that's really it)

    Snide is the master of safe bets.
     
    Barring something extreme there's no way it'll reach 6k before these contests end in a few weeks.
     
    It does seem like a remarkably low level of interest though.

    ?  No, I was just going to say that if it doesn't reach 6,000, I'll cut off all my hair and my beard... 
     

     ...and that's a lot of fucking hair to bet, ladies and gents!

    21st. So that's a fairly decent amount of time. Actually.... almost too long.

    Wait, is Ryan going to shout in Hungarian while shaving Dave's head? That would be scary.
     
    By the way, there's a pretty easy way to skip those ODST adds before videos. Just switch the quality of the video.
