Sexiest since Leela. Funnist since that one chick who is neither funny nor sexy but was inexplicably the Doctor's assistant and had a miserable sketch comedy show that made you feel bad.

You know, if there wasn't a commercial, wouldn't Frankie just come right out and say, "There is no commercial"? I mean, he did that for the VGAs and a trailer.

Some 343i guys will be there but I don't know if they conduct a presentation... I would definitely be interested to hear more about the Anniversary development process. When are you allowed to tell us more, David? When?
I bet against it: There will be no news. But if after all, free beer for a whole evening at GamesCom for HaloGaffers.(lol. only Gabotron, Over and Robbert win something)

Going down that road again?
We are slowly turning into the Waypoint forums.
Yeah.. he shouldn't have to confirm deny any more rumors at this point. He and/or david said "if it didn't come from us (343) don't believe it"... so... just don't believe anything...
Unless it comes from them.
No mention of a super bowl ad has come from them.
It's such a stupid idea he shouldn't even need to comment on it.

Going down what road? I don't pay attention to sports, the Super Bowl, or whatever. I have no idea if the Giants or whatever have a possibility of winning.

Going down the road of hoping for things even though Frank heavily hints at it not happening.

Yep. Also 'well job'.

It's kind of hard to receive a hint through a sports reference when you know nothing about sports.
(And there's a chance you'll follow up this post saying you don't know anything about American football at all but you still got the hint. Good for you, but I didn't.)

No VGA trailer and now no Superbowl ad?
Guess it ain't coming out this year.

2013 launch with the nextbox confirmed!
Here:
I have no idea who Tom Brady is or why he fancies wearing Uggs but he clearly says that you shouldn't hold your breath for a Halo 4 ad during the Super Bowl.

loved that commercials
You know I still think those commercials are why people think video game testing is actually fun. I mean I would still like to be a QA tester but Im pretty sure after repeating a process 1000 times to see if it recreates a bug most people would go insane lol

I actually like the NFL, but how do you guys cope with the constant stop-start rhythm of the game? It drives me nuts!
The human mind can only process so much awesome for so long. The 100-150 unique reprieves per game are a welcome rest.

The latest Beyond the Frontline has gone live on Forward Unto Dawn and Dave asks if some bonus content from Halo 2 is being overlooked.
BTF #8 : Wiretapping the Cosmos
Beyond the Frontline is a regular feature where the staff here get up on the soapbox and put forward an idea or idea relating to Halo. Each BTF is a talking point designed to start a dialogue and unlike our regular word blasts and articles, the entries are short and sweet.

I wasnt the only person to give yelps of glee when I saw the Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Terminal previews after HaloFest. They are, put simply, damn good pieces of expanded fiction woven into an otherwise discovered game. But I wasnt the only person to notice certain inconsistencies in the terminals with some established fictionnamely, 343 Guilty Sparks log from Conversations of the Universe.
Pity Conversationsin many ways, currently relegated to Halo history as a minor bonus for the Halo 2 Collectors Edition. But it could be so much more. Laid within its disparate letters are stories begging to be told. The excavation of a mysterious, alien artifact on Coralmost likely Forerunner, but possibly even Precursor, given the materials resilience to damage. What was its function? What happened to the dig site? Was it destroyed by the Covenants glassing? What battle was the Covenant warship Sacred Promise involved in? And what happened to its engineers, mysteriously disappearing during the ships plummet towards a nearby planetoid? More maddeningly, what is the Sharquoi the Elites planned to use against humanity? Did they ever use it?
Aside from questions, CFtU opened up the world of Halo, especially for those who had never touched a novel beforehand (and back then, there were only three!) Many of them set the tone for Halo 2 and its radical departure from Combat Evolvedsmall side stories that gave the Covenant a human face, for lack of a better expression: bickering Grunts, the increasingly corroding interactions between the Elites and Brutes and the stress fractures in the Covenant. With all the painful narrative cuts made in the final game, these samples gave us a wonderful amount of depth to augment what we played onscreen. In short, CFtU was more a boon than mere bonus for fiction lovers, and it is disheartening to see it neglected now, its stories left cold and untouched. This is, admittedly, one of the hazards of producing (what appears to be) disparate storiessome elements will be discarded or overwritten, like the Cortana Letters are now defunct.
It doesnt have to be that way. With the possibility of more conflict with humans on the horizon, could the Sharquoi play a role for the Elites again? If Serin Osman could recover from her augmentation injuries, couldnt Cassandra return to the field as a full-fledged Spartan? The content in CFtU could be just the beginning, especially if 343i follows the lead of Bungie and lays groundwork for coming threads, and to keep fans engaged. There have been promising signs that they might, particularly with the Data Drops ante Glasslands and Anniversary. Halo 4s marketing campaign has thus far been virtually nothing, so there remains plenty of time to do something similar. So lets hope that 343i takes a page out of Bungies book and keeps one ear to the galaxy.

Man, talk about a blast from the past.
I poured over Conversations so many times. Loved that little book.
Wasn't Ghosts of Onyx originally called Ghosts of Coral?

Sounds dirty when said with that avatar.
Ah now, she was better than why-doesnt-the-doctor-love-meeeee mopey pants.
THIS, I like NFL, but I almost never watch a full game, and if I do, I'm distracted with something else.
Shit takes way too long, it makes sense that is America's #1 sport though, it has the most time for commercials.

This is why i watch most game in highlight form sans the Super Bowl game of course, and if you're wondering why I like the NFL, it mostly because (or rather was since he has retired) of this guy:
Although, they aren't great at the moment, I still love them.
I would too but you have to worry about keeping your contract every 3 months unless you are part of the Microsoft QA group but that is hard as shit to get into (343i uses the MS group as well)
I know if I was offered a job in QA I would take it up right away though lol
Probably because I don't have ADHD.
But seriously, doesn't bother me, it's such an awesome sport. I only wish it lasted longer than 16 games!
Yea, I'm not a fan of the BCS, at all.
same bro
Opposite for me. Hard to really get behind an NFL team when none of them are in your state. BCS is still total crap though.
I mean.. apparently the Kansas City Chiefs are considered our home team. Fucking really?
If only there were some kind of thing that could alleviate this problem.
Kiss the rings. I'm a little bored of only having a championship in one major sport over the past year, hoping we can make it two.

Football's lame as shit. Teams play each other maybe twice in a season. Better team might not even win, seasons too short. Means nothing. Winner is really loser. Apes trying to push their banana further than other apes, while drunk apes yell on the sides.
Hockey, College Basketball off to the sides. Manly men playing with cunning intellect. Their dumbest idea would nova encapsulate the brightest idea ever made on a football field.
