They may seem innocent GIFs to us, but to those that haven't seen season 2, or any of it, they usually hold at least some spoilers.
I was talking about the Halo .gifs.

You're probably right, and also what I said isn't exactly what Frankie said, I just checked.

My apologies for expectations raised. :P

We should start a world and just try to make a bunch of Halo multiplayer maps in it, like if they were for some reason right next to each other.

Need to find a good Halo-related seed to start it off on.

Didn't Frankie tell us there could be one or two small bits of information after all the IGN coverage had happened? I could have sworn it was just last week that he said that. Could be the toy stuff I guess.

If they turned out really well, then you'd just be depressed that you couldn't actually play Halo on them.

Wow, I haven't read that book, but that sounds like some serious do not want. I prefer characters that "die" or are written out of the plot to stay that way, because 9 times out of 10, there is some cheap as shit plot device that brings them back, usually simply for the sake of bringing them back.

From Chapter 14 it really gets good, The Gravemind and The Dead Forerunners parts were striking and well written .

Guilty Spark is an AI. I hope you have seen every Anniversary terminals because GS mentions that there are back Ups for every of them. The explanation is logical in this case. If Johnson or Keyes comes back, I will agree with you.

The book was so dreadfully slow before that point though that I kind of had to stop and reread to comprehend what I was reading.

Primordium suffers from "Harry Potter 7 let's go camping for half the book" syndrome, except Rowling is more interesting writing about little of consequence. I liked Primordium a lot overall, but it really should have been structured a little differently, I think.

I'll be joining you on that quest in ninety minutes or so. We shall emerge triumphant.

This thread is kind of better in some ways when there is no Halo news to bitch about discuss. That's when the magic happens.

We've a little treat on Forward Unto Dawn starting today. Our first Halo 4 "big bad" speculation piece is live. We're planning on visiting some more potential candidates over the next few weeks.

Stay tuned!

Who will be the big bad enemy for the Master Chief in Halo 4? We take a look at a prime candidate – The Master Builder.

Will be a huge improvement over previous Halo reveals. You could never tell how the game played because it would be a drunk journalist pissing an AR into walls most of the time. I want to know how many shots the BR takes, kill times for BR and DMR, time between sniper shots. Optimistic, I know.

As for theatre, a cool idea would be if each saved film had a sub menu where it would chart significant moments in a match and sign post them by the time they occurred i.e

Triple kill, 2.53 (press y to skip to)

Flag cap 1, 4.08 (press y to skip to)

Killtac, 5.30 (you get the idea)

The 'halo' seed for Minecraft looks very useful for making some Halo maps in. Some wide open areas, some big cliffs to sculpt stuff like Headlong out of, and even a couple of floating islands to start Lockout or somesuch on.

Well, the camping scenes in HP7 weren't half the book – not even a hundred pages I don't think – and it was interrupted frequently with interesting stuff. By the time Harry and Hermonie get to Godric's Hallow, you're pretty much done with it.

They're similar in that they really slow down the story, and I do agree that the camping scenes in HP7 were more fun to read about.

Well yeah, hyperbole alert. The walking parts in Primordium weren't that extensive either, but they certainly *felt* long, and unlike the Forerunner-oriented Cryptum the human characters in Primordium weren't doing anything players hadnt, really.

The walking parts in Primordium are about as long as they feel. I remember looking back when they were finally over and it was about a hundred pages or so. Definitely a third or a fourth of the book – ridiculous.

The pacing could be a little better, parts where nobody knew who was going first was distracting. The first episode though flowed more effectively.

That's about it, like it a lot and will keep listening :)
