  1. Hey Jon, welcome to the forums!
  2. Heyo, welcome to back to The Best & WORST! Best & WORST 4 - 'Weapons of Halo' - is here if you'd like to read the responses and/or post a late reply! Continuing the theme from a previous B&W about Marvel Movies, this week we're gonna tear DC a new one... What is the Best DC movie? & What is the WORST DC movie? The next Best & WORST will be posted whenever, maybe. Feel free to post suggestions on what the NEXT Best & WORST should be about! SD, out!
  3. Welcome to the site! Some of my favorite characters include: The Gravemind. It's a galactic hyper-intelligent hive-mind zombie monster who has lived for a verrry long time. When the Flood show up you know you're screwed. I like the Gravemind mostly because of his cryptic, and dark yet poetic dialogue. The nearly unkillable zombies that it controls are just icing on the cake. There's not much else to say except that it should make a return. The Ur-Didact. Allot of people like to criticize Halo 4 for having a weak villain, but I disagree: it has a strong villain, but a weak endgame boss. The Didact is a compelling, and intimidating individual, and feels like a worthy challenge to the Master Chief. While his motives are obviously bad (pls no kill the Humans), a certain level of validity is given once found out that he was brainwashed by the Gravemind: turning him into a tragic villain. He's been around since before the Halo Event, and to have someone with that incite respond to the world created in its wake is very interesting. Like the Gravemind, the Didact is usually kept behind the scenes, and likes to harass the Player over the mysterious brain-intercoms, like the Gravemind. His dialogue is very articulate: Keith Szarabajka makes it very convincing. It's unfortunate that he was totally forgotten by Halo 5, and I really hope they try to bring him back. The way he went out is an injustice to his character, and what he means to the franchise.
  4. Daaaaaaaayuuuum, this is friggin insane!
  5. Heyy, welcome back to the Weekly Site Poll! Poll 54 - 'Halo Wars 2 Community Reviews' - is here if you'd like to read the responses, or post a late reply. This week we hypothesize and dream about stories yet to be told... Where do you want to see the Halo story go from here? What would you like to see in a future game, or ancillary material? A return of the Flood? Precursors? Mendicant Bias? The next Weekly Site Poll will be posted whenever, maybe. Feel free to suggest the topic for the NEXT Weekly Site Poll in your response! SD, out!
  6. Heyo, welcome to back to The Best & WORST! Best & WORST 3 - 'Marvel Movies' - is here if you'd like to read the responses and/or post a late reply! This week we both grumble and/or praise our favorite and loathed weapons of mass destruction (or not at all)... What is the Best Weapon in Halo? & What is the WORST Weapon in Halo? Doesn't matter if it's a Frag Grenade, a Spartan, or those gigantic, destructive onion rings of doom. The next Best & WORST will be posted whenever. Feel free to post suggestions on what the NEXT Best & WORST should be about! SD, out!
  7. Heyy, welcome back to the Weekly Site Poll! Poll 53 - 'Favorite Halo Quotes' - is here if you'd like to read the responses, or post a late reply. This week we bring a recent installment in the Halo franchise to a tribunal... Halo Wars 2 has been out for a few days short of a week, and has been receiving somewhat favorable reviews. However, what does this community think about the game? What are your impressions, criticisms, and/or concerns? Also, what rating or score would you give the game? Doesn't matter what kind of rating system it is (?/5 Stars, ?/10 points, etc). Please have spoiler warnings if you're going to post spoilers. The next Weekly Site Poll will be posted whenever, maybe. Feel free to suggest the topic for the NEXT Weekly Site Poll in your response! SD, out!
  8. For me it's going to be a tie between the H2A & Reach versions due to favoritism towards design rather than function, though they're both really solid gameplay-wise. However, contradicting my last statement, I hold H2's a tad higher because of its OP-ness: moreso its graphical overhaul in H2A. Plus, the H2A Red Infected Sword is the most metal thing I've ever seen.
  9. Great idea. Context for my decisions for the first series of questions:
  10. ATOM BOMB BABY LOADED WITH POWER, RADIOACTIVE AS A TV TOWER- Oh yeah, welcome to the forums!
  11. Heyo, welcome to back to The Best & WORST! Best & WORST 2 - 'Halo Comics' - is here if you'd like to read the responses and/or post a late reply! This week we're gonna tear into a certain steamrolling comic-book movie franchise... What is the Best Marvel movie? & What is the WORST Marvel movie? Any movie containing characters originating from Marvel count -- be it X-Men, Spider-Man, Blade, Ghost Rider, etc. The next Best & WORST will hopefully be posted Wednesday after next! Feel free to post suggestions on what the NEXT Best & WORST should be about! SD, out!
  12. It's coming, but not for Halo 4. "Last week we dropped more details on the upcoming Classic Helmet REQ Pack coming to Halo 5. In case you missed it, know that these sweet new helmets will be officially available in-game on February 9th." https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/cetacean-celebration Also, welcome to the community!
  13. "Now the gate has been unlatched, headstones pushed aside: corpses shift and offer room, a fate you must abide!"
  14. Heyy, welcome back to the Weekly Site Poll! Poll 52 - 'Playthroughs & Recommendations' - is here if you'd like to read the responses, or post a late reply. This week we reminisce about unforgettable exposition from a series rife with it... What are your favorite quotes, or lines of text from the Halo series? The next Weekly Site Poll will be posted whenever, maybe. Feel free to suggest the topic for the NEXT Weekly Site Poll in your response! SD, out!
  15. As much as I despise the execution of those games, they're still really great. MCC should have its praises sung because of how well its Campaigns work. I'd argue they're the prime versions to play. Regarding me, aside from Duel Links I've been playing Resident Evil 5 with my cousin every couple weeks. A very underrated, and amazing game. One of the most solid games I've ever played, and I feel that it doesn't get enough credit -- Resident Evil 4 gets most of it. So yeah, I recommend that.
  16. Heyo, welcome to back to The Best & WORST! Best & WORST 1 - 'Halo Spartans' - is here if you'd like to read the responses and/or post a late reply! This week we resolve the example question posed at the beginning of the first Best & WORST... What is the Best Halo Comic? & What is the WORST Halo Comic? The next Best & WORST will hopefully be posted next Wednesday! Feel free to post suggestions on what the NEXT Best & WORST should be about! SD, out!
  17. Dayum, that's hot. I got a bunch of Halo crap laying around, but not enough of it to be all like "Yo, check out my digs!". Seeing all those steelbooks makes me wish I still had my Halo 2 steelbook. Only one I got is of the Halo 4 LE :C (which is practically in near pristine condition laying around in a drawer).
  18. Gonna join in on this meself. I've primarily been playing Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Links on my phone, and it's pretty damned exceptional -- especially since it's a game underneath the Konami umbrella. The game is as classic as it gets when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh!. As far as I know there's no Pendulum, Synchro, or Xyz summons, and I believe there is a hard cutoff between cards released before early GX-era, and after early GX-era. It is essentially the perfect Duel Monsters game, and what's icing on the cake is that you can duel against AND play as iconic characters like Seto Kaiba, Yami Yugi (dunno about Yugi Muto), Tea Gardner, Joey Wheeler, and Mai Valentine -- I don't know where Bakura & Yami Bakura, or Tristan are (prolly will get released later, or I'm not that far into the game yet). Or that Dungeon Dice Monsters dude (who cares about him anyway?). Anyway, not only them, but scumbag characters like Rex Raptor, Bandit Keith, Weevil Underwood, and Maximilian Pegasus (which I think is only obtainable from the Toon World event). This is like... a genius move by Konami. All of these characters are also voiced by the voice actors from the original show. Nothing is better than hearing "It's time to DUEL!" or "You're finished!" from Yami Yugi. Though the game has its downsides. The field is restricted to 3 monster & trap/spell card zones, and the extra Main Phase was removed. You can duel against other people either directly or in a competitive sense, but I don't know if you can trade cards with them (you CAN buy them from a weird dealer guy, and from a card shop). The game also has microtransactions naturally, but not in an intrusive way. The game is free-to-play, and you can get nearly everything from grinding in-game, but the option to circumvent that with real money is there. Also, the game can only be played online, and there's MASSIVE server load (straight from the in-game announcement team's mouths, though paraphrased). A recent event, "Welcome to Toon World!", was suspended because of server issues. However, load times are generally average in length, and not that long. Even with the problems I'm having a blast. Good on Konami for not being corporate a-holes this time around (not as much as usual anyway).
  19. Heyy, welcome back to the Weekly Site Poll! Poll 51 - 'Halo Wars 2 Blitz Beta' - is here if you'd like to read the responses, or post a late reply. This week we step back to talk about our own game playing activities... What is everyone playing right now? Also, what do you recommend? The next Weekly Site Poll will be posted whenever, maybe. Feel free to suggest the topic for the NEXT Weekly Site Poll in your response! SD, out!
  20. I agree, I also wish they had kept Thorne on the team. His relationship with Chief was very interesting, and to see his reactions to one of his "idols" would make for great narrative. Buck should've retired after ODST.
  21. Heyo, welcome to The Best & WORST! As you can see, this is a new series. "What kind of series?" you ask? Well, one where I ask 2 questions about a certain series or subject. Like: What is the Best Halo comic? & What is the WORST Halo comic? Got it? OK, good, let's begin with a (hopefully) enthralling subject to get those mental gears turning... Who is the Best Spartan in Halo? & Who is the WORST Spartan in Halo? Whether or not The Best & WORST will continue is up to you guys, but if it WILL continue you may post some suggestions on what the NEXT Best & WORST should be about! SD, out!
