I dislike open world games. Halo Infinite was too much for me and that only took ~25 hours. It’s why Infinite will rank so low for me for a Halo game.

Michele Khare has a youtube video where she tries Marine Bootcamp with 3 other youtubers/influencers. On day 2 they did tear gas. One of the influencers had a beard and the drill sergeant said he was sol with the gas mask.

The free games is so far the only reason I have an Epic games account.

HBO Max pissed me off in December. My habit is to find something to watch in the Last Chance section (for instance I just watched John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 and Clint Eastwood’s The Gauntlet). What annoyed me was that they added a whole lot of decent films half way through the month after I had already…

Up to this point in the halo canon we had never been told a story from the perspective of a person on a planet that’s actively under siege from the Covenant. Add in the context of the Superintendent saving these beats from Sadie’s Story and feeding them to the Rookie because they’re integral to understanding what the…

Destroying a group of flood with the gravity hammer is bliss. But I will concede that the brute shot is entirely too powerful against flood pure forms (a single melee kills them).

uh... do you realize it’s structured after Dante’s Inferno and the 9 circles of hell? Sadie endures all the circles for a single, final moment with her father. I thought it was heart wrenching and I was hardly upset when the bad guy got his just desserts.

If you love intimate stories then how can you rate Halo 3: ODST so low when it features Sadie’s Story? If I were to rate the games on their ability to make me emotional then it’d be Halo 3: ODST > Halo: Infinite > Halo 4.

I hope those two get enough royalties to live happily for the rest of their lives.

I’m confident it’s the LG G5. Originally released in 2016. This year LG exited the smartphone market. 

This reasoning is getting so tired. Free-to-play AAA games didn’t exist in 2007. To expect Halo not to change with the times is folly. 

These were tournament winnings between 2016 and 2018. 2016 had the $1,000,000 1st place winnings. It fell by a lot in 2017 and 2018.

Accusations of geofiltering have been rumbling in the halo competitive scene for all of 2021. Few people are likely aware, but there have been halo tournaments nearly every week this year. So its about damn time that a player would be so brazen as to use it for Infinite qualifiers and to finally have an…

I think there can be a lot more doom and gloom associated with a CME hitting the earth. The high voltage power lines, transformers and substations are all fairly uniquely built to handle the needs of that grid. Needing to repair/replace a large number of them across the whole nation/continent is a monumental…

The ground is typically considered safe, but what happens if it gets charged through the energy of the CME? Would everything connected to ground be at risk? Is that even possible?

You didn’t mention that the first bunch of weekly challenges you’re given can be completed in bot matches. The challenges make a distinction between “kill x spartans with y” and “kill x spartans with y in pvp”. The later need you to be killing an opposing playable character, while the former works fine against bots.

I’ve said it for a while now: Ranked matches should end immediately upon a disconnect. The amount of times I have won in a 3v4 situation can be counted on one hand and the amount of times I can say I had fun in a 3v4 can be counted on 2. I would gladly trade all those experiences to have the matches simply end. It…

Maybe this was only available in certain regions but the McDonalds in Minnesota had a cheeseburger with Monterrey Cheddar and caramelized onions circa 2008.

Only the first season is lasting 6 months (until May 2022). Seasons are supposed to be 2-3 months. 

I think Final Fantasy mostly eschews this pitfall. The Ronso from FFX and the Viera from FFXII come to mind for being pretty even between male and female sexes.
