Wow, it's the end of an era for sure....
.... I mean a mod is posting in the halo thread.

Primordium and Silentium are yours, the other two went first.
Sorry, I missed Enfinit's post.
You want the Promethus book? The other two went first.
I'm going to name my first born child after you. Thanks!
Sure.
I feel kind of like a dick for ignoring this post, to heck with the jr. thing. You got it, shoot me a PM with your address.
The Halsey journal is the only item left.

No one likes Halsey
I'd totally take it if no one else does, but that's just being greedy.

Just to be clear, I didn't give away all the stuff. I've loved Halo for a decade and have accumulated a fair amount of swag over the years (not to mention the games themselves), and I'm hanging onto much of it.
But it just felt wrong to hang onto a lot of stuff I was given (or aquired) when I ultimately didn't care for the direction things went. Like it was swag that went off target. So I wanted to send them to folks that would appreciate it more than I.
Edit: here's what I've got. I'll check for PMs in the morning and then work on shipping.
Let me know if I messed anything up.

It would be silly if I asked for Halsey but I already have LE for Halo 4... So I don't need it

You know, I've been lurking HaloGAF for quite a long time. You're pretty much a god-tier poster in my books. Truly an end of an era, as it were. :/ Thanks for the reads.

Cashed in what would've been Halo time in exchange for some The Cabin in the Woods watching time. It was a good trade. I don't understand how people can like horror movies and not like The Cabin in the Woods.
Anyways: thanks go to Halo 4 for motivating me to finally watch that movie.

They even stole the Active Roster? Well, I guess it's not stealing if 343 just left it out by the curb.

Hot damn, not caring about the default shit on juniors standing...this is truly end times.
The Halsey Reach journal is really cool.

Will watch!
Edit. Zombies....
Just played on a map called "Harvest" while playing SWAT. When did they add new maps?
And I can't even view it in Theater Mode. I get a message saying "The film cannot be played. It is damaged, DLC is missing, or it is from a different Halo 4 version"
lolwut
EDIT: Oh, it's part of the Crimson map pack.? Hmmmm....I didn't buy Crimson yet. lol

I feel like Steitzer should only say "Next Kill Wins!" if the two teams are tied with one kill remaining.
GREAT movie.
Yeah movie time has been sucking my video game time away. Realized lately that I really don't give a shit about vidya games when I lost touch with all the people I poured hundreds of hours into Halo with.
The 14 day trial code that came with the game? Yeah. I used it a while ago (when my regular subscription ran out earlier in December, IIRC).
No for the DLC. The 14 buy and play (I think).
Yeah, I downloaded it and played when it was free.
Yeah, can't beat Owl for now.

Interesting interview with David Jaffe: edit:apparently can't link to that site.
One part in particular stood out to me, when asked about how the industry is coping with respect to the economy:
Makes me think about how Halo might be developed in the future.

People are too hard on Halo 4, myself included. Getting on to play some.

GreenCastle: 343 DID that already. They pick and chose what companies to do what parts of Halo4. Look how that turned out. You need passion to make a great game and that requires people getting together in the same building day after day and building most of the game. Gaming isn't the same as Movies.

I actually agree. After taking a break for a few weeks after the map pack was released, coming back to the game has been great. I'm actually really enjoying it

Agreed. Keep in mind that Hollywood has been working under this model of project-by-project team building for decades and their success rate is still way below 50%. I'm not excited to see video games move in that direction at all.

DL an program called realtemp and make sure that CPU isn't overheating. I just opened up my laptop to clean out the little fan, it was a bitch but I stopped crashing when viewing videos.

Yep, video games really aren't the same as movies. Having different parts of a game go to different companies reduces cohesion and the soul from a game. But I expect this trend to continue, it makes development costs cheaper.
In Halo 4's case, the game feels like it has no soul and solely exists to make money.

Also, when a movie goes to, let's say, an effects house for post-production, that effects house is usually getting 100% of the sequence that they have to apply industrial grade lights and magics to.
If a video game company sends some MP map designs to an extreme digital company of some kind while they are still in the middle of balancing their MP, how is the extreme digital company supposed to know what will work and what won't? They don't have the completed sandbox.

He was remote for much of Twisted Metal's dev with Eat Sleep Play and released a game that was totally broken and it was like he had no fuckin idea. ESP is no more and Jaffe went on to form something stating didn't like being remote as the studio was in Utah and he was in San Diego.
Love Jaffe and Twisted but that was as bad of a release as I have ever seen, a shame because the play mechanics were stellar.
Sounds familiar.
Halo 4 is guilty of begging for money but so are the army games that come out constantly. People lap that shit up so that is what video games have become.
Hopefully the indie game scene will learn to move past 2D platformers, then we'll be in for a treat.
Edit: And the day AAA titles have to change to compete with indie games is the day gaming is saved.

Agreed. I was more trying to point out that other big developers are thinking the same way as perhaps 343 was when they made Halo 4.
