Why is my icon a sad lemon?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

you had that icon in the game too. I was wondering what game that was from. It's set up in your user account on your xbox. You should be able to change it at xbox.com.

It was that during the game too. I suspect you've never picked an emblem so it randomized one.

Good times, guys. Those games are just silly fun. A nice change from the blood-pressure raising grind that is playing against teens on Xbox Live.

It's not the xbox account. It's the in-game emblem. It has to be changed inside the game.

ya, I tend not do that. Sure it would advance me from cadet (or whatever). But I hate hearing those teens squeel and laugh at how much I suck. I'm in it for fun. Tonight was a lot of fun.

oh ya. I have the old Marathon logo for mine. Ya, that's a set up in Halo appearance settings.

I noticed but I was sort of busy trying to figure out what I was doing to worry at the time.

Ah! Guess the Xbox knows that I have had the game a while and hadn't loaded it until today. It was bitter and sad.

And now I can change it.

Looking at pretty pictures of Jilli hats, while dying glorious deaths in the game. :: snerk ::

Oh hey. Don't mention the CA job thing tonight. Fred doesn't know yet. Hasn't been finalized, hence not announced yet.

Um. Yeah. So.... clearly I didn't check this thread before the game. REALLY SORRY about that.
