Same thing dude, huge structure on top of a mountain, heavily dug in

We lost decisively

Instead we went for a different structure just now on their flank and Are capturing all the surrounding territory before moving in, I'm so anxious!

This is exciting as fuck

Poster giveaway in 10 minutes! There are going to be multiple questions, so while no single one is that hard, you may want to have Halopedia or something at the ready in case you don't know all of them. Good luck.

I can't remember how many I threw in my bag, or even how many I've already given away. If I've got extras, you're welcome to one.

(I only have one pair of the Cryptum earrings, though, so I can't give you those. ;) )

I would very much appreciate it, no rush, of course. Anything you'd like in return?

Also, campaign question: Watcherw can revive Knights. But I thought Knights disintegrated after dying?

Wait? What did Count Cockula do wrong this time?

"I nearly haven't met one who is not awesome."
I used the adverb "nearly" because I have met one who was the opposite.
Present Perfect because I do believe the people I met are still awesome. The same for using Simple Present in the sub clause. WHAT DID I DO WRONG?! My mind is nearly freaking out here... I believe it is because of the adverb. Am I right? AM I RIGHT?! ARGH!

Their remains are left on the floor from last wherever they had fallen after being disintegrated. Reanimation. Nasty counter-parts next to the Flood.

Unless Wu's package changed, it didn't have any of the Halo stuff in it. He might have added it in, I don't know.

I'd just like to say this was a very generous an thoughtful way to go about your PAX swag. Incredibly mature for a junior.

Mackenzie Mason sounds like a porn star's name.

EDIT: If the Watchers are really teleporting corpses back in to reanimate them, that further supports a personal theory of mine: Prometheans, or at least Knights, never die. The vaporization effect is, for all intents and purposes, a "frag" in Infinity but doesn't carry the same repercussions since it's just a simulation. Something leads me to believe that it's actually the effect of being "Categorized" or "Indoctrinated" if you're human/covenant. While it may not immediately happen, I can see Chief "dying" sometime in the story by being hit by a Promethean weapon, only to find out he's been teleported to a (name is just brainstorming) "Archive of the Damned," where Knights are put back into storage and their consciousness revitalized so that they can fight again in the future, while anything else such as human or Covenant begin to be turned into Knights themselves; any biomass would be worked into the Knight's internal systems while the mind of the individual got subsequently brainwashed and dumped into a Knight's body. This teleportation function could have other uses as well; it's an easy way to flee before the particular combat unit got damaged beyond repair and leads the enemy into thinking they're dead.

Furthermore, look at it this way. When the Librarian was archiving as many living species as possible, what would be easier: getting them all individually or Hardlight Orbital Bombardment to teleport all the individual fauna to a more manageable location?

Today, was a really great day for me. German Karate Championships were happening here in Berlin. I even got honored as a referee and it was pretty awkward in front of all those people. Now, I'm an official Karate referee.

I met really cool people at the after-show party (for champions and referees), including the world-president of the World Kickboxing and Karate Association(WKA), some really beautiful and hot girls and some awesome fighters.

It was really a blast of a day, thought I would share this with you guys.

Now returning to lurker mode. Have to catch up with latest info. Still jaelous, about the fact, that you guys are attending at NYCC and I'm not. :p

rofl - the combination of the double negative and the convoluted grammar made it pretty tough to read. I'm just giving you a hard time, though.

Nah, Slaker's right. What I sent you was one of the tubes that I'm giving away on HBO right now, plus a couple of avatar/demo code cards I shoved in too. You've got all three posters, the bookmark, the patch, the flash drive, and the pin (and whatever else I forgot). Oh, the bag, too.
