its all good, just lettin ya know I sent it out

besides, what would PM's be without the thread callouts
Yeah thats rather odd, never seen people do that in other forums, but it's dea useful on the mobile application ( which is otherwise the best mobile forum I've seen.)
 
I dont think this was posted, but in the weekly bulletin that was posted last night there's a hidden message in it that reads:

PLNB PRIORITY TRANSMISSION [CLASSIFIED]
ENCRYPTION CODE: [CLASSIFIED]
PUBLIC KEY: N/A

FROM: CODENAME SURGEON
TO: CODENAME COALMINER

CLASSIFICATION: ELEVENTH HOUR [1/5]
SUBJECT: AFTERMATH

/FILE EXTRACTION-RECONSTITUTION COMPLETE/
/START FILE/

Decades from now, when historians evaluate the war, what will they say about us? Will they claim that our victory was ultimately fruitless? That it failed to secure a lasting peace, or worse, that it was only a prelude to far greater horrors that now lay ahead?

My hope -- OUR HOPE -- is that history would instead view this war as a catalyst. That the last thirty years were a crucible, a threshing floor for our species, sifting out our fears and frailties. And that ultimately it made us stronger and more vigilant in the end, fully prepared for whatever will come next. After all, what good is struggle if there is no change? What good is a fire if the sword is not made stronger?

Attached are four reports accounting the major contingency structures our species currently faces in the wake of the war. Please evaluate them closely. Their outcomes will dictate how history views us, or if history even views us at all.

Xenomorphic element [2/5]
Martial element [3/5]
Provenancial element [4/5]
Primogeniture element [5/5]

As Machiavelli once said: "the Romans, foreseeing troubles, dealt with them at once, and, even to avoid a war, would not let them come to a head, for they knew that war is not to be avoided, but is only put off to the advantage of others."

Likewise, we must deal with these issues head-on, without fear and without hesitation. We can afford no other stance.

I posted that this morning but i dont know if it was posted before that
 
Just got it working. Right in time to watch Biden interrupt Ryan and start embarrassing himself while Ryan smiles on.

I really hope I'll hear Solace again before the OST gets released. That track was incredible; it convinced me to buy the soundtrack.

I can't believe this. Everyone I've seen so far has said Ryan winning, and I'm not seeing it. I'm seeing a disaster. Ryan is getting schooled!

And I still don't get all the fuss over the H4 OST.

OT thinks Ryan is getting destroyed. Biden just keeps laughing, pointing fingers, and saying malarky. Ryan is being much more subtle about pointing fingers.

Did you listen to Solace?

Every time you mention Solace, it reminds me that you got to listen to the whole thing, and I didn't. Which makes me sad.

I hate where the iTunes sample ends. RIGHT at a big crescendo...

Biden is getting in the zingers, he repeated a major lie on Iran about 5 times before Ryan even tried to call him on it, and he is succeeding in basically staring Ryan down and controlling the debate. This is bad, subtlety will not work with the American populace.

I think so, it's been awhile though. They just sound like generic electronica.

Ryan: "You know what the current unemployment rate is in your hometown? 10%. It's going up, just like the rest of america"

My version of Bidens reaction: "Are you a fucking tool? Have you looked at the latest statistics? It's doing down!"

Solace got posted today. No electric anything.

Ryan's "I think the vice president knows, sometimes the words come out of your mouth wrong" was amazing.

Only good thing he said all night. Otherwise he's being slaughtered.

Ugh Halo 4 can't be here fast enough. That way I can play games for 5 days and forget this whole damn election season.
 
Ryan, finally, is making up some ground on Medicare and SS. Not sure if it's going to be enough.

Lol, are you guys actually watching this because you're interested, or are you just watching the armor?
I'm watching this on Yahoo, same for the previous presidential debate. I am very much interested in this.

That's a damn good image, sir.

Usually i'd just wait for the Daily Show recap for this, never liked watching it live because of the constant interruptions and the flubbed statistics. Honestly am enjoying biden actually getting into this. Ryan just seems like he thinks he already won. I can understand being cool and collected, but eh. Too many accusations (that biden actually replies to, where obama didn't), not enough "We ARE going to do this, we ARE going to do this".

Anyone wanna ask those of Mexico and Spain if there is a ranking system.

Realize by now that's probably a no but worth a try.

I wish presidential debates were actual debates.

Or, that every time someone said something, the other side could call bullshit like a timeout and then fact checkers would step in and give a judgement.

Yeah, so I think making the debates like organized sports would be good.

Ryan supporters in this thread?

For shame...

Let's keep this thread about Halo and politics in other threads.
