Seems like there's a lot of women over at 343i. Certainly more than we ever heard from at Bungie.

I really don't think there's an ARG for the Didact stuff, though. I think it's just a way of grabbing some people who are curious but don't know what the hubbub is into Halo.

Oh, and goodbye Halo |OT|s, I hope we go back to them after a requisite number of Halo 4 ones.

Well well. I saw a dream of The Thursday War (but it wasn't, dreams are twisted) and found it in a bookstore some an hour ago.
Looks like i have to read Glasslands for the third time, i still don't remember what happened in it. Other than Traviss anti-Halsey preaching.
 
All hail Bonnie Ross, the queen of the Haloz.

In all seriousness, I do applaud that there are more women behind the scenes that have higher up jobs.

Damn straight.

...

Anyway, I logged into Twitter today, and when I clicked on my interactions I saw that Selena or whatever person had spammed with Halo 4 spoilers. Not to worry, though! Like a boss I managed to click on the dude's profile and block him without reading any spoilers.

I deserve a trophy.
 
Got my OST LE download in FLAC.

It pisses me off so much. Still don't understand why oni is left completely off the hook by all the soldiers
And what about Spartan 3s, they were children and used as suicide bombers and halsey was left completely out of the loop

I should start keeping track of how many mentions of Glasslands it takes before the Traviss hate begins.

(Y'all are entitled to your opinions, but I'm also a useless statistic connoisseur.)

I preodered because it occured to me the campaign is going to be fucking awesome.

And at the very least I can stat on kids in matchmaking.
 
Just listening to the Halo 4 OST - I know this is blasphemy for most of you, but I vastly prefer this to Marty's work. Marty's stuff was always very...video-gamey I guess. This just feels more mature and deeper somehow. Plus there no AWFUL Rock-Cheese to contend with.

Also, can anyone with amazing Photoshop skillzzz Didactify my avatar? I will be eternally grateful. :)

Not many sleeps to go. Haven't felt this hyped since Halo 3 launch!

The thing about it is that it is very different from what Marthy gave us, so I can’t really say what who is better. Both sounds are tremendous and have their own unique voice, which actually makes me very happy. Neil has put his stamp on it.
 
I'd rather be bored than have to study for this calculus exam right now :( At least it keeps me distracted from Halo 4 I guess, though I still feel barely any hype for the game.
