welp, I'm done with hookups for a while, it always seems like a good idea until it happens. fun fact: giving someone a facial is the weirdest fucking feeling ever, and not in a good way

From the back those Grunts remind me of those hump-backed Doctor Who aliens with a splash of the rip-off of those Doctor Who aliens from Star Trek Voyager.

I was born in 84 and we never prayed in class (and I wouldn't have if they tried), and the Pledge of Allegiance is some scary propaganda shit that we really shouldn't be having kids that don't know any better about participating in, but I had to do it until I graduated high school in 2002.

I like my scary us-or-them people to only exist in the UNSC's ONI. Who, if there is any justice in this world, will eventually become the big-bad of the Halo universe.


edit: as an aside I wonder how Bungie/MS get away with using ONI in game when Take 2 would have a legitimate claim against it. I guess they don't really care much about that IP anymore?

edit2: I'm aware they're not exactly the same but it reads weird when you think about it. Take 2: Okay Bungie, we'll part with your share, but we get to keep the Oni name and trademarks. Bungie: K. We're gonna name one of Halo's key players ONI. Take 2: whatever

Had the pledge all the way through middle school, IIRC, although it might just have been through (private) elementary school. Certainly didn't harm me or turn me into a jingoistic crazy man.

Totally agreed about ONI, however. There's plenty of arguments to be made for and against Traviss' work thus far, but if they continue down this road ONI is begging for karmic payback of a tremendous sort. Hoping that the Chief gets enmeshed in that.

I'm looking to commentate the event once again, and have sent in an application / reel for consideration. I would consider coaching again if I found the right team, but for now, I'm really enjoying commentating and feel that it allows me to use my knowledge of the game(s) much more.

Also, the stress of coaching a top team and falling short is tough. When you commentate, it's all about watching Halo, talking about Halo, and not caring who wins as long as the matches are exciting :)

Well, good luck then. :D

What would you guys say was the best order to read the Halo books? I recently purchased and read 'Halo- The Fall of Reach' without knowing how good it was/if it was the first book. Anyway, what one would you recommend getting next?

In chronological order from FoR: First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx, Glasslands.

In importance to Halo 4: Cryptum/Primordium, Glasslands, Contact Harvest

In order of "good read" (my favorite to least favorite excluding FoR): Ghosts of Onyx, Cryptum, First Strike, Evolutions, Contact Harvest, Primordium, Glasslands, The Cole Protocol.

The Flood is omitted because it's a retelling of CE.

NFL Network got picked up by Time Warner Cable, awwww yeah.

Megaton!

Going to the Tennessee football game today. Before every game they say a stadium-wide prayer and sing the national anthem. The south is the weirdest part of the nation in terms of being...well, southern.

Don't all sporting events sing the national anthem? I have never been to one passed the little league level where that isn't the case.
 
The national anthem has been played at every American sporting event I've ever been to, including a soccer game between an Italian team and a Mexican one.

What do we know about this Flood mode? I'm a little confused...
This is from a source that cannot be named.
But first, the most important thing is the new Infection gametype in Halo 4, now called "Flood". Yeah, you read right. Why this gametype is wearing this name ? Because infected players will play as a flood combat form during those games ! As you can see in these images below, Floods are back in a all new different form, especially made for the multiplayer. 12 players, 10 as survivors, 2 as Alpha Zombies. Infected players have deadly claws for melee damage and enhanced vision, but actualy, we don't know if they will play as a flood, like the previous Halo Campaigns (in terme of mouvement, speed and jump). That was the big thing.
 
Still is weird that Recruit Prime is just a skin for the LE, but FOTUS armor is exclusive to the console.. Even so, the less exclusive armor the better, its not really fair on the fans that care about that stuff. The LE and LE console should honestly have the same armor/skins/emblems but whatever.

The LE Season Pass thing is still absolute bullshit.

I can't begin to imagine what went wrong but that is hilarious regardless.

The only thing they could do is Make the armors/ skins as DLC. and i agree that the LE Season pass is bullshit and they haven't given a real reason as to why.

Where in KY you from?

I'd enjoy Flood mode with Radar/AA's off but than granted to the "Last Man Standing".

Kill cam would work. No ordnances. Start with either Human or Prom Shotty and Pistol.

Granted Randomized AA's - PV, TP, HLS, Hologram, Sentry Turret.

Scattershot and Boltshot because of the fact that they are supposed to be for killing flood.

Nothing went wrong, hookups are just my body's way of letting me learn I can't think with my dick all the time. I mean, you see facials in porn and you're like "oh man that's cool, I wanna do that when I grow up!" and then you do it and you realize the guy you're fucking around with is now covered in your own jizz everywhere. Not that appealing.

wut?

Nah dude Elzar totally loved it.

Wow. I did not expect you to be that forward. Well, it is what it is. You live and you learn.

ONI is a real organization.

Do not want.
 
hook-up with Elzar story

Halo, ya'll

Also, just cancelled that LE pre-order. It's amazing how every single new detail revealed about it made it sound less and less appealing. "Specializations on launch day! Oh, but you need max rank anyway, lulz" "Recruit armor! Actually, it's just a skin, everybody gets the Recruit" "LE Season Pass! Just without any of the benefits the non-LE Season Pass people get"

I think I'm just gonna stick with the regular version and just wait and see if anybody is even playing the DLC a month after it comes out.
