@Chicken Pawks: Sorry to burst your bubble, but I actually have my keyboard configured to let me type accent marks, along with all kinds of other foreign letters. It's crazy convenient.

@XeO3: It also doesn't come with a SIM card, apparently. Or an accurate calendar.

@nctrns: I agree that it's a lower standard of living, but the point isn't to live like that forever, just long enough to survive whatever is going on. Once you've outlasted your opponents or weathered the storms or survived the zombie outbreak, you can seek out meat.

These are some great shots of how truly amazing nature is.

Something like that is my absolute dream house. As much as I love living in a city, with ready access to everything I need, if I had the money, I would live far removed from everyone, totally isolated, in my own fortress of solitude.

@nctrns: That's what building over a well and having hydroponics is for. Perfect supply of water and the ability to grow as much food as you need. Throw in some solar panels and extra parts, and you have a nearly unlimited survivability.

@Fekdep: 15 per hour? My little sister will do 15 every few minutes. It's why the unlimited texting plan was invented.

I have dozens, maybe hundreds of those things still. They are dead useful for all manner of things. Most fun being frisbees, target practice, or winging at a little sister's head.

@t('-'t).............................The Unpronounceable: I still have some of those tins. They are rather handy.

@rymas1: I remember that, but I never did hear if he carried through on his plan.

@akgrown: ♫ Call Mr. Plow, that's my name! That name again is Mr. Plow! ♫

Very much in the spirit of The Duke. I hope they can go on to do bigger and better things; this is definitely an awesome place to start.

@Swanthered: I think that's one of the common criticisms of the games, actually. They don't fully convey the story of the Halo universe when you play them; there are tons of references to things, but if you haven't read the books they still wouldn't mean anything.

@Swanthered: Human controlled planets having Forerunner artifacts they needed was the only reason every human planet wasn't instantly glassed from space. In the Halo universe, humans were damn lucky to not be completely exterminated, and even so, were reduced to a tiny fragment of their former selves.

Hey, I paid $20 for it, and I'm a Windows user.

That's pretty hilarious. It's nice to see they are making a serious effort to balance the game and encourage people to play something besides just Jedi or Sith.

I love watching time lapse videos, and I love the snow. This is perfect!

@King of Madness: That is amazing. I think I love you now.

@jonnyjon91: Ketchum. And I don't think so. I haven't watched the latest season, but most of the newer regions had Ash getting new buddies to explore with.

@Nevest: I'm sure there are, but I doubt those make up the majority.
