If he had warning of the flood then surely he could use boxes containing halo 4 to protect his home then nothing of value will be lost.
And with some editing this would make a good halo is dad gif:
Halo is mom.

Halo is mom.
What do you mean the furniture is on the floor, suddenly the house gets flooded? It's a basement. Most houses are built with floor drains near where the water heater is in case it goes bad, washing machines etc. If a flood happens due to weather, pretty much every house in the area would be screwed then, and not really anything anyone can predict or do about it.
Projector is a giant nightmare in real life. Good luck getting Mrs. Stinkles to live with one. I can't stand them. Turn on, wait, fume as HDMI handshakes miss each other like Peyton Manning throws in the Superbowl, watch as the blinking lights on the projector activate counterintuitive functions, see the VGA ready text blink for no reason at all, etc etc. However, I wouldn't mind this:
And it's a 4k projector. That costs $35k. And is made of machined aluminum. And has built in furniture for speakers and components.
DROOL.
TANKLESS BABY.
If it fails, it simply drains into the plumbing.
Actual halo or the twisted offshoot infinity was? So for 5 your bring back balanced arena style game play that has lacked in the franchise for a long while?

I don't even care about the 4k, give me a 1080p short-throw projector and I'd buy it instantlyProjector is a giant nightmare in real life. Good luck getting Mrs. Stinkles to live with one.

New construction house/less than 5-10 years old? Tankless are nice. In BC electricity is pretty cheap, and so when the pops renovated our family house, rather than go tankless, put in a pretty huge 80 gallon water heater.
Also, that SONY projector is nice, but for that kind of cash, I'd probably go for those new 21:9 105" curved OLED 4k televisions.

Younger brother. Still, Resistance 2 doesn't even look like Halo. Probably was the Chameleon enemy that reminded him of cloaked elites thus naming it Halo. Dunno, it just gave me a wtf moment.

For that kind of cash I would pay my rent for the rest of my life.
Unless you're in a specific viewing situation a curved screen is worse. And why would you want a screen aspect ratio that does not natively fit any movie or TV show?
BC: Come for the cheap electricity, leave because your shack costs 5,500,000$ and you just defaulted on your loan
hi5 old houses. The one I'm sitting in right now was built in 1905. I like how you can tell they added the bathrooms years and years after it was built. Also, we found the original weights for the windows in the walls when doing renovation.

For starters, not riddled with glitches. Which co-incidentally disqualifies 2 and 4 right off the start.
Ever so slightly more immersive driving games!

Around here we usually put some supports to elevate the forniture (like 15 or 20 cm) in case of flood or unforeseen accidents which happens often giving us some time to save some of the house stuff.
I disagree, the curve is very slight and barely noticeable and was amazing when I saw it. From any angle the picture was uniform, meaning you no longer have to sit directly in front of the television to get the best colors and viewing angle.
Also, almost every movie would no longer have letterboxes on the screen. I don't know what you mean would not natively fit any movies? Very few movies are actually filmed at 1:85:1 these days, aside from say Pixar films. I agree that shows and other content would have black bars on the side, but it would primarily be for movies/home theater than just random television watching. Besides, at 105", the picture area of side-bar 16:9 content would still be pretty amazing, possibly 80"+ of viewing space.
Sick room, but I dunno if I could ever play an FPS on a big TV. Use that TV for most games and have a nice 24 inch on the side for maximum dongage.
Actually, Halo 4 didn't really have much gameplay glitches from what I remember. Just very questionable design decisions.
My favorite day (or days!) of the year, honest to God, is when I get home and there is a Whitman's Sampler from you. So good.
Yea once I started playing on a monitor I never looked back. I couldn't imagine trying to play competitively on anything too big.
I doubt I could play it on anything larger than the 23" monitor I've got. Nilla played on a cinema screen if I remember correctly, so he probably knows more about how it looks on a big screen.
The only thing I dislike is that there is no headphone jack and the speakers are a bit tinny sometimes.

So are we gonna get more 343 involved with Halogaf radio, Tashi? 
Moving from a monitor to a projector, I didn't notice any difference in performance. It's something I was concerned about when I bought it, but I think as long as you've got everything in your field of view (which is to say you're not sitting 2 feet from a 90-inch image), it seems fine. Cabling's a pain in the ass, but I guess that's what I signed up for.
Eh, I'm not as good as you, Ramirez, plywood etc. But I honestly didn't notice any drop in my gameplay/skill moving from a 32" LCD television to a 55" LED. If anything I enjoy playing games more because I get to see things larger, in more detail. I do know about having to move your eyes over a larger distance, but is it just perception/negligible or does it impact skill?
Even at first?
I'll never forget the time I was playing in an H3 tournament and was switching set ups each round. Some tubes(awesome to play on) some monitors(awesome to play on) and then they had like 2 projectors up. Lost in the quarterfinals to a guy playing on a monitor while I was playing on a projector. It was absurd. Thinking about it now I should have complained and asked for another station.
A 90 inch projector would be amazing for everything else though.

I just applied for a job at Rooster Teeth.
Shit. Now I'm gonna get all excited and check my email every 10 minutes.

I had to find the right spot to sit, which took a little while, but after that it was pretty much business as usual. It's not something I can recommend to everyone just because you have to have some pretty stringent light control in the room (not to mention getting audio and figuring out your image throw), but it's been great for me.
It probably depends on the situation, like anything else - I wouldn't be surprised if it was the newness of that setup as much as the size that threw you off there. Switching back and forth can't be easy and it takes a little bit of getting used to.
I'm about 8 or 9 feet away from the screen at this point. When I first bought it I was in a much smaller space than I am now that I've moved, so I was maybe 5 feet away at that starting point and yeah, it was kind of rough.
Cool, good luck in getting it. If you get to make any video's I expect a minimum GAF reference requirement is needed.
A problem for me with big TV's is I have a point where font become unreadable and distorted even from a short distance away. At that point I need my glasses but it's just uncomfortable to sit with them on for extended periods of time.
Cool that it works for you. Must be awesome to play games and watch movies on.

In relation to halo 2 was this always empty: (I book marked it when it first came up)
Or was it like that due to tv's being smaller or is there stuff like trees and scenery missing from this picture on delta halo?
I just noticed it looks like the grunt is sticking its head in the fire lol.

And I'd still play the console version
TVs were generally smaller and had a way lower resolution than we now have. Thus less details/objects were needed.In relation to halo 2 was this always empty: (I book marked it when it first came up)

Ewwww, I'm disgusted in myself.

I can't quibble. You play what you want to play on.

343, I fully expect to see this shot being one of the most gorgeous, fully forested shots with the most beautiful sky box and water you can muster in Halo 2 Anniversary. Hnng that makes me excited.

HEY. NOT COOL. THAT'S MY JOB.

About that top 5, feels good to not even be in the top 10.

Yea I've never even heard of most of these posters. This thread and HaloGAF has really declined in quality imo.
What can you expect with literally no official news?
I told people about my smurftubes.

Did Halo TV show will show up just before Halo 5 like FuD or maybe later of halo 5?
You'd actually think that with no news, those numbers would be smaller since they aren't talking about the news, but whatever.

Go do something else instead of speculating about nothing.
logic isn't welcome around these parts.
(spend this time making more infographics thanks)
I though so I wonder how they will change it now that the general size of screens has increased will they increase its size or just fill out the background.And I'd still play the console version

Wow that's a lot of posts but still there must be far more prolific posters on the whole forum though, anyway you need a girl around here. Has halogaf declined that much since you first posted Juices?
