Yea, Reach was one hell of a retcon. The Pillar of Autumn was not a ship that I expected would be rated to land in atmosphere. I mean, we saw what happens when the PoA lands on a planet.

Not to mention the fact the invasion seemingly went on for almost a month in the game, while the book described it as an average slaughter, with some places being spared from glassing due to the artifacts the covenant were looking for.

BigBoss and I are officially Halo Lore Bros

You better play some Halo 5 with Smokey, Ferny and I!

The major problem with MCC was it was done by like 8 teams. 343 launched Halo 4 and it worked perfectly. Now the likes/dislikes on the multi is another subject.

Halo 5 beta ran smooth as hell.

Halo 4 was awful. Story, mechanics, characters...it was bad top to bottom. Shooting was good!

I picked up the Fast and Furious series yesterday and rewatched the first one. My goodness the writing and acting is the worst! Even the driving stuff so far has been bad. Why did I like this movie and how did they make 6 more of them?!

5 was the only real good one since they turned it into a heist movie. Though, I haven't seen 7 yet and know nothing about it so that may be good as well.

So 343 made a game like Destiny? =)

With worse multiplayer.

Now that I'll agree with, but I actually enjoyed Halo 4's single player so to each their own on that one. Though I hope 343 goes back to more "open" environments like other Halo's in 5, which it's sounding like they will be.

Pretty excited about ODST joining MCC next month, one of my favorite Halo games. Plus it seems like Buck from ODST is part of Locke's team in Halo 5.

You're the worst
I can skip 2 right? It just seems like the exact same movie but with an even worse bald muscly dude playing Vin Diesel?

Yeah. The rest of them are core but 2 is awful unless you wanna see Paul walker act like a black guy. Which does have some merit.

I've only seen 1, 5 and 6, but 5 and 6 are pretty good since they abandon realism and lean into the stupidity of it.\

Basically, the real Fast and the Furious franchise began with the Rock.

1, 5, 6 and 7 are the best by far. 4 is ok but not great same with 3. 3 and 4 are worth watching just for the overarching connection to 5,6 and 7.

I kinda agree.

Didn't really like the story considering I was kinda lost for most of it to a degree. Once the librarian popped up and went "hey I set everything in motion a hundred thousand years ago, your DNA is destined to make "you" and lucky for the human race "you" just existed at the perfect time! Oh and the Spartan program was destined to happen too, funny that!", I kinda accepted this wasn't the old Halo I knew.

And then they kinda went pretty hamfisted with Cortana's rampancy, although the call back to when she split herself into hundreds of fragments like in First Strike was pretty dope.

But yea, Halo 4 was kinda a disappointment, hopefully Halo 5 fixes that.

And hopefully I can get an XB1 before launch lol

Watching the Microsoft Build Keynote now that they are talking Windows 10... I have to say I am highly impressed with what Microsoft is doing with Windows 10 across all devices. Haven't been excited for a OS in awhile, but this seems pretty legit.

Hope they do another amazing phone with Win 10 launch on phones, now that it'll get support since it's so easy to just push everything out to all Win 10 devices.

edit: Oh wow phone apps like WeChat will run on Win10 PC's with no issues.

Holy hell, windows 10 and windows phones can use Android apps. There goes having issues with support.

All Windows 10 Phones will have an Android Subsystem which will make Android apps easy to port by just using the same code.

HOLY CRAP, you can bring iOS apps to Win 10 and Win 10 phones

They have a toolkit that will allow devs to transfer Objective C code into Visual Studio for easy porting.

=O

DIdin't they already have all this easy porting stuff and no one gave a fuck?

No, they've never let you compile Object C code into Visual Studio for porting over, same with Android apps.

They are also putting Win32 apps right into the Windows Store.

edit: One thing to note is Android apps will run natively on Win 10 phones and Objective C/iOS apps will have their code ported into Visual Studio for easy porting with just a few changes basically.

Only thing which matters about Windows 10 is it looks like Directx12 is legit. Don't care about shitty Android apps on my PC, and I won't own a Windows Phone anytime soon.

I read some reviews on the PS4 version, and it is supposed to be good. Control scheme is well done. I've barely played it on PC yet but that doesn't mean I won't. Summer time is coming and that is when I usually spend about 50 hours playing a Tropico game. So the answer is maybe. I should see if 360 controls are properly working on the PC version. Tropico games are all about relaxing and building anyway, so there isn't a ton of micro managing going on.

Android Apps won't be on your PC so congrats!

As I already mentioned, Android apps run natively on the Windows 10 Phones, it's iOS app's that can run on both.

The major point is that .net/Win32 applications will be transferred to Win10 and in their Store for ease of finding/use. aka: How they make their money since they are giving Win10 for free.

Basically they are making it so everything will be usable across their OS which will make changing onto Win10 that much easier of a decision for everyone.
 
People are idiots and will refuse to move, you know for a fact there are people out there who will not want to give up their Windows 7.

Hey man I spent a lot of money for W7 back when it came out.

I've installed that license on like 3 machines, no way I'm spending another money to upgrade those machines to W8.
