The Director

Yes, we've all heard the "Game is Canon, screw the books based off of our games that we have claimed to be canon for the past 10 years" argument from Bungie before, but it's REALLY messed up to smash an amazing storyline to bits just because they were to lazy to fact check what they had previously claimed to be canon.

What lock? lol Only a moderator can lock a topic.

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris. Depends on what you mean by sky. If you mean the atmosphere then it would a sphere, If you mean space then it's more than likely a torus.

Even if you can only do a couple hundred a day (which even with a massive hangover with a splitting headache I was able to crank out 1k today) it's worth the effort. A spoonful is better than nothing, after all.

I don't really agree with the guy on the second video that much, but to be fair I lean towards casual rather than MLG. It's nice to see it from their point of view though.

The most epic cutscene in Halo 2 for me is the "Ladies Like Armor Plating" opening cutscene, where Master Chief gets a tank and is ordered to cross a bridge with it, following the Scarab. The reason it's my favorite is because of SGT Johnson's rants, all 4 different versions of it. I loved how it was different on every difficulty, but still hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLl3TTor5JE My favorite of the rants is the "Two Sticks and a Rock" one. xD

This is only part of how it works. It also takes into account the number of betrayals you have, and the higher the betrayal/kill ratio, the lower your BPR. It also takes into account assists and sprees as well. The system that determines BPR is actually quite complex.

Honestly, I think that Cortana will either die or find a way to "repair" herself on the alien planet that they are stuck on. While it is true that most AI's begin to degrade after 7 years, and most end up dying within 9 years, there have been cases of human made AI's throughout Halo Canon living longer than this without showing obvious signs of Rampancy. One example of this would be the "male" AI on Harvest in the book Contact Harvest. The Forerunners had the technology to make Artificial Intelligence that lasted for millenia before showing signs of Rampancy, so it is more than possible that they can find some of this technology and help repair Cortana. As far as Cortana turning on Chief goes, I think that is very unlikely to happen. Cortana has a very deep seated need to protect John, and with Rampancy this need will only increase. AI's that are charged with protecting things who go Rampant usually get VERY protective of the things that they were designed to protect. A for instance of this would be 343 Guilty Spark. He was charged with protecting his Halo, and was willing to watch the Galaxy burn to keep his Halo intact. Cortana will most likely follow this course of action as well, doing everything in her power to eliminate any possible threat to John. There is, in fact, no evidence to even support a theory of Cortana turning on John. The "I WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE THIS PLANET" part of the trailer actually makes more sense if you think of it as she is talking to the enemy rather than John, who will agree with her mindset in that situation.

So, I've found it much less trying to go on and donate a thousand or so ever hour or two. It's a whole lot better than sitting there answering questions uninterrupted for hours on end. So, answer 10-20 questions, then watch a youtube video, then 10-20 more.

Congratulations! I couldn't think of a better successor.

It does sometimes, but not every time. I really can't find a pattern to what makes it work and what doesn't. So yes, it does work, but not all the time.

lol It's kind of addicting. I suspect that she only hated it because she was forced to do it.

There's a math portion as well, if you have trouble with English.

The Good Samaritan Award So, you may have noticed that there is a new award in town. The Good Samaritan Award is awarded to the members who are kind enough to give some of their time to help against world hunger. You must first create a profile on freerice.com and join the 343i Community Forum group. An explanation: http://www.343indust...h-world-hunger/ How to join the group: http://www.343indust...ls-and-targets/ To get the award, you must join the 343i Community Forum group and answer enough questions to donate 20,000 grains of rice. Once you do this, message a moderator who will then confirm that you have done this and will then give you the award. After you receive the award, feel free to keep going. Anyone who has involuntarily gone without eating for a day or two can imagine what it's like for those who have to go weeks at a time without anything to eat. I personally have had the extreme displeasure of going without food for a week myself, which is why I'm so sympathetic. I can tell you, it sucks.

Updated because of site changes. lol

Your parents don't understand your point of view. To them, happiness is having a goal accomplished. And their goal seems to be to raise you as best they can, so they are probably a little overbearing from time to time. Now, not being ambitious is fine, and living a normal and happy life is even better, but your parents don't see it that way. Their greatest fear seems to be you waking up one day (say, in your mid 40's) and asking yourself, "What have I done with my life?" and then going out and buying a sports car you cannot afford and divorcing your wife for a younger girl. This is more common than one would think. It's called "the mid life crisis" and most male members of society suffer through it. From the poorest of the poor, to the richest of the rich, the saddest of the sad, and the happiest of the happy, there will come a point in everyone's life where they look back and realize that they could have done more. And yes, it will happen to you as well. The danger in being unambitious is that when this time comes, even if you are very successful and happy, you might look back and realize that you could have done so much more, which will rob you of your happiness. If you would like to prevent this from happening and at the same time please your parents, come up with a simple goal. Ask yourself, "Where would I like to work?" Your answer could be your ambition. If you strive to get the job, you likely will. There will be obstacles, sure, but overcoming those will grant you a surprising amount of satisfaction. Then, when you finally do get the job that you desire, during your mid-life crisis you will be able to look back and realize that you did accomplish something. Believe it or not, as a youth I was unambitious as well. To this day, I still cannot decide what path I should take in life. My overall ambition is a rather vague one as well. "Gain enough power to be able to ease the suffering of humanity" is my personal goal. Mind you, this may seem like a selfless goal, but I am not a selfless person. The reason I have this goal is because with less suffering, there is more productivity. People who aren't suffering ask questions, and seek answers. If I were able to stop global hunger, massacres, and poverty then perhaps there would be enough scientists world wide to prolong my own life span and delay my decay, as it were. This ambition itself is the cause of much anguish for me, simply because I cannot decide how to best go about this. Do I go into politics? Do I become the head of an international corporation and use my money to do it? Do I gather all the world leaders together in one room and yell at them until they finally get their act together? I am constantly plagued by these questions, and so I know that I am not as happy as I could be. However, I believe that living a life without pain is dreaming, not living. To me, life is the most difficult game to play. Dark Souls has nothing on the massive multiplayer mode that our own reality has. Pain, in and of itself, is not a bad thing either. Pain is like salt. You add it to a meal to make the meal more satisfying, but if you add too much then you ruin your meal. I'm going to stop here. This post is already really long, and you are an intelligent enough person to be able to use what's already here to your advantage.

^Welcome to my world. lmao

I've got one that I used to use. I can also custom build one for you if you'd like.

Yo mama so old she sat next to Jesus in class.

Well, then you can go to Gamestop or a similar game retailer and have them buff your disc for you. It's usually only a dollar.

Need an update lol
