Halo |OT16| Oh Bungie, Where Art Thou?

Which begs the question was she ever a strong character. Halo 1 she spends much of the time giving you a tour guide and Halo 2 she makes a few quips. Halo 3 she has some annoying pop up action for the first half and the second half is spent making a few more less palatable quips. Then in Halo 4 she is screaming and crying.

and breathing, how the hell did she do that.

No thanks, I use Bing as my Search Engine, I'd probably get awful pictures with the search.

Not to mention just searching up a Porn Star at all would probably be irresponsible of me, and tick my parents off lol.


Still though, so god damn infuriating that 343 would do that. Really, really, awful move on them.
Lol Dude, rule #1 don't believe everything Wahrer says, that guy is like 24/7 high.
And I know, I wanted you to see the pictures.
To me it was mostly downhill once she got kidnapped and held by the Gravemind.

Well I saw that more of a "left herself behind" and the plot of Halo 3 more of a "we need her because she has the index and important information about everything"- but I probably just tried to hide the fact for myself how Halo 3 was also just a "save the princess" plot.
 
... are you kidding me?

and I thought my opinion of 343 couldn't get any lower after yesterday's "Halo 4 is too traditional, SCRAP IT AND MAKE IT DIFFERENT" news.


Not only did they try their best to overly sexualize Cortana, they DESIGNED her after a porn star. I really dislike 343 now, this is immature as hell.

I love Jen Taylor's performance throughout the series and Cortana is such an integral part of my Halo Campaign experience.

But that's one thing I never agreed with Bungie on. Their Cortana looked like one of those hand-made pygmy dolls you'd find at a yard sale.

Even with the technical limitations back then, she has always been a naked blue chick. Kudos to 343 for making her look like one for a change. Halo's been polluted with the likes of Dare and Kat for too long.

It was a save the princess plot complete with tentacle rape.
<- that's a joke btw

Halo was good in some aspects but totally a bad anime in some others.
 
IA's can choose their form and change theirs appearance after that too.

Cortana have another form actually.

Intimidation.

Oh, shit.

What if Cortana still thinks Chief's just a by-the-book killing machine as of the events of Halo CE? It'd explain some of the quips like "This isn't a cudgel, you barbarian," not to mention the fact that she doesn't really act as confident towards Chief himself until she's uploaded to Alpha Halo.

She designed her avatar as either sexually appealing or motherly in a desperate attempt to ensure that Chief didn't view her as disposable.

Well now remembering the short story "Human Weakness" this joke isn't that far fetched and I will probably never can read it without thinking of this.

Some passages fit nicely with the joke.

The game does too considering how annoying it is when you're trying to find her and all you get is some weird vibration, your character stuck and her yelling at you. God what a terrible experience, who the fuck thought that part up.

I like to pretend the Cortana scenes and the level "Cortana" didn't happen in Halo 3. :(

i dunno i felt like those moments made me really emotionally attached to the game because they were really fucking annoying and made me want to gash someones eyes out every single fucking time they popped up

true storytelling

Maybe she can come back in 5 and Brutes can have their way with her this time.

Oh wait Brutes probably aren't coming back right? Well I guess Promethians can harass her and then warp back to her and repeat the process all over again.
Sounds like a metaphor for playing Halo 4.

Maybe both male and female players would be able to relate to this hypothetical Cortana.

I never bought the drama 343 tried to create over Cortana's rampancy or death or whatever that was. She's a computer program. Having them self-destruct every 7 years is such a lame ass universe construct, it's like fake drama. Poor direction to go down imo.

Hiring people who hate Halo to work on it. Killing off Cortana while commissioning Sarah Palmer comics. Every day is Opposite Day at 343 Industries.

In the future AIs are worse than modern OSes.

Oh, so they didn't actually design her after Dylan Ryder? lol thank god.

Gained a bit more of respect for 343.

Son, ain't nothing wrong with finding porn stars attractive. Don't let your parents brainwash you into having all sorts of hangups about sex, cause 10 years from now you'll be one of those dudes who's whacking it to cartoon ponies if you're not careful.

lol

How old are you speedy?
 
16? Utah? So Mormon?
Yup, why?

Kids 16 and from what he has expressed his parents are a bit.. restrictive.

They aren't really restricting, they're just strict. Or at least I don't feel restricted by them, they're pretty loose with most things and mostly let me do what I want, I just need to ask, and they usually always say yes.


and in a completely random off topic note.

Also, my friend just told me today that he can't see Iron Man 3 with me at the movies because he's grounded for 3 weeks for not going to church last week. Woot! Watching movies by myself... unless I pay for another friends ticket because he's broke. Ugh. Friday is going to be boring. Anyone wanna have a Halo game night this Friday?

Son, you need to come to PAX. Uncle Heckfu will get you fucked up on bourbon and I'll send you some great Russian anal porn vids. Your life will be changed in one weekend.
 
Just curious. Finding a non-mormon in Utah is always like finding a needle in a haystack it seems. I had family there that wasn't but the vast majority seems to be.
 
Speedy, come to New Orleans. I'll get you on Bourbon Street in a few clubs and make those worries of yours seem very petty. They don't care about your age or anything else for that matter. Time of your life, my friend.

If Speedy and I were in the same room for more than 10 seconds I think Mormon God would physically come down and be like "Shut the fuck up, Wahrer. Just shut up. Come on, man. I spent 16 years working on this guy."
 
Bringing the religion discussion to HaloGAF? Let's just list political affiliations and how much you tip while we're at it.

It's against my political neoclassical agenda to tip. I tip if and only if I'm being served a dish under 200 calories by a black uncircumcized Jewish transsexual worker who's spent at least 2 and a half years outside of the United States at a Chipotle that was funded before SOPA and PIPA were proposed, and even then it has to be a multiple of 31 and the Chipotle has to have been constructed within 16 meters of an Indian burial ground.

You need to share whatever it is you smoke everyday you wake up. Must be intense.
