So who in here is most affected by the Hurricane? I mean I'm in Ireland so I'm fairly sure I'm pretty damn safe, what about the rest of you guys?

Yeah, there are other outlets on GAF for political discussion. It just has the potential to consume the thread, especially as we get closer to Election Day.

Tried them separately. No point trying them togheter, for Speed Reader i skip as many encounters i can, this naturally leads to deaths (i lose a few second per death but ultimately i save more time by skipping the encounters).

I know (probably) most of the places for 'nade jumps and shortcuts but i just can't handle 'nade jumps well in Halo CE. And when i have only a few healthbars left, 'nade jumps are suicides.

Bandanna helps a lot, i wouldn't even try these without it. Or bothering to play on Legendary without it.

But i tried the no-deaths one so many times now i won't bother anymore. Frustrating and slow. I don't like the level at all, other than Anniversary visuals. Looks nice.
And Speed Reader... well, just no more.

I'll probably trade in my Halo CEA for Halo 4, i still have the PC version and i've played Halo CE so many times i could probably re-create the maps from my memory (interiors wouldn't be absolutely correct but i'd get them damn close for the actual maps).

If you really want the no deaths one, you can Save and Quit occasionally creating checkpoints for yourself, then just sign out of your profile when you die and resume from those checkpoints.

a foot of snow will cancel halloween.... :eek: wow, that shit cray.

I feel like this is sarcasm?

A foot of snow is a pretty big deal around here, we're not really prepared for that type of accumulation. That aside, having little kids out in windy conditions+that much snow isn't that great either, especially for my son since him getting sick is a pretty huge deal. I've been wearing a mask around the house this week to try & minimize his chances of catching it, heh.

No, not sarcasm. Wonder? haha. I suppose a foot on snow on Halloween is weird in most places, but it's not that much up here in Chicago. It's weirder when we get LESS than a foot of snow! There was one winter a couple years ago where we got less than a foot total over the course of like November through March. Strangest winter ever.

South Carolina hasn't been hit by a major hurricane since Hugo. We're awesome like that.

Well... damn. I wondered if that would be possible but decided not to do it as if it wouldn't work, i would have wasted quite a lot of time.
Hmm. Maybe i'll try it once more, with this trick.
I'll leave Speed Reader undone though, i think. Or maybe i'll try it later this week, if someone wants to do it as well (Europeans preferred due to co-op netcode woes).

Last year we(Iowa) had a total of around 7 inches of accumulation over the entire winter. It was super nice then, because I was driving from home to class every day. This year, I'm all for the snow and canceling classes, because it's a 5 minute walk to them if one isn't cancelled.

Only one problem though, Romneys a moron who'll drive america back into the pockets of Oil companies, private healthcare and War. Seriously cannot understand how people in america cannot see that Obama is helping them. For god's sake a Romney supporter called Obama a commie at a rally and then when put to the question had absolutely no idea what a communist was.

That and the fact the guys family has a controlling stake in the company which makes the Evoting machines, yeah, democracy is great isn't it :D
Click to expand...
Oh gosh. This is not a defense of Romney or an attack on Obama. This is merely me pointing you towards texts you can read in order to understand both political parties.
  1. There are idiots on both sides. Always have been, always will.
  2. Obama is supports Keynesian Economics while Romney is more a pure capitalist. I will not comment on which is right; both are very different schools of economic thought within capitalism. Read Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keyes. In addition read about economic policy in Europe and America right before and after WWII.
  3. The US is not a pure democracy; it is a republic. Read up on the electoral college, the constitution, and the great compromise.
  4. Just because Romney has investments in that company does not mean that he controls the votes. That would be illegal. It would have been a smart move to invest in that company as paper ballots were phased out just like it would have been a good idea to invest in Ford when the Model T was introduced.
  5. Both parties have had problems with fraudulent voters. Not to mention voter fraud has existed forever. Read up on Greek "democracy", ballot stuffing, ACORN, etc.
  6. The big vs. small government debate has been going on since the the ratification of the constitution. Read the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers.
  7. Obama isn't helping anybody and neither would Romney. That is not their place to do so. The government exists to maintain a degree of social order and to protect the rights of citizens. Go read Thomas Paine and John Locke.
  8. If you have anything else to say take it to poligaf. This is not the place to discuss these things in such depth. It was one thing to briefly talk about watching the debates since there is avatar armor. HaloGAF knows I am conservative. Heckfu (and other left wing Gaffers) and I casually poke fun at each other from time to time. This is not the place to debate. Feel free to read some of the texts I have referenced and I will be happy to discuss them with you in detail via pms.

Pointing fingers at politicians is not the answer, Junior. As I said earlier, I am happy to discuss this privately.There is a lot I know/have read, as well as a lot that I do not know/haven't read but hope to learn/read in the future.

I never see Barlow in Poligaf.

Misrepresenting yourself again, eh?

P of Poland still has the best response from a few pages ago to shake. I promptly ignored him.

The modern conservative reply: 'you wouldn't understand, but I'm right and you're wrong, and I don't have time to explain why.'

I directed him to both liberal and conservative texts as well as objective texts. That was a very objective post, not an attack on liberals at all. I have no more to discuss.

Stay safe east coasters.

Also no politics here please. We all have beliefs, bitching about them won't change a thing; especially in a Halo thread of all places lol.
