nooooooooooooooo

please no, pls.

>this guy was shit at Reach
>le buttmad

I'm ashamed to admit I have the most skill in Reach and 4 actually

I don't do good in older Halos, but I enjoy it more. I'm fine with how Halo 5 is going I just don't want another Reach, I didn't like the art style.

Ya shouldn't worry about skill chump. Especially with buds and friends to play with. That's what Halo's been about. Playing with friends.

Way back when I used to play Halo 3 religiously, I wasn't the best. I was the middle man of the team. While my friends did all the slaughterhouse meat grinder work, I was the driver. I took power weapons so the other team wouldn't get them. I'd drive the warthog, the mongoose, the ghost when they where needed.

I took the banshee, and made myself a target and constant pester. I took the tank, and rolled into the mess as a free shield. I walked into the meat grinder to move the flag an inch, over and over.

Find your spot and your niche, and with some good friends, no matter how skilled or unskilled you are, you'll always have a blast.

Welcome compatriot! Stay as long as you like! Doors are always open.

To be honest, if I got another Reach I'd just give up.

What a dumbass. He could have spent way less money just buying a bunch of bricks, and it would have the same effect.

His mistake to make.

Got one chance to take.

Should'a baked a cake.

If anything, I think it'd be curious. Curious to learn more. Learn the reason behind all of it.

No wall of text?

I hate you too.

I've been over these talks one too many times. This is a road well traveled by me. So I'm just passing through here for the sake of simplicity.

We're intelligent to some degree, and look how curious we are. Other intelligent animals, Elephants, Dolphins, Apes, are just as curious.

An AI would likely follow the same path, albeit farther along than we are.

Why would it? Can AI develop curiosity? That's what I'm asking. If it would find existence pointless, because it hasn't evolved like us and doesn't have that will to survive.

Follow the dotted lines here. With intelligence comes a little more, even if the intelligence is alien to our own. Our will to survive has nothing to do with our curiosity.

In fact, our curiosity is so great, because of our minds, that it overrides our will to survive. Constantly, we perform acts that go agaisnt our very survival, sometimes all in the name of fun and entertainment.

True, but the question is can it develop curiosity?

And my point with the phrase "will to survive", was that we don't find existence pointless, but a machine that doesn't have what we and animals have might find existence pointless. I'm just wondering.

I can't give a rightful answer because we have nothing to compare it with. However, if we look at things logically, it's safe to assume that anything intelligent, especially sentient, would develop traits of it's own.

Look at animals for instance. Elephants, dogs, cats. They all have personalities. And it's irrefutable. They have distinct personalities, actions, likings, dislikes. And supposedly, they're below us on the scale of intelligence.

Therefore, something like an advanced AI would likely develop something to call its own as well. Untill it actually happens, I can't say for sure. But looking at what we currently have as examples says yes to me.

I got sick and dropped into a coma!

I came out of it a little different. You could call me a brand new person!

If anything, I think it'd be curious. Curious to learn more. Learn the reason behind all of it.

It's a clubhouse for the mods.

Is going to be a good police dog in the future.

I'd be fucking fine with this. At least I'd have the MCC in some form.

And the day gets uglier.

I'm no mod in any capacity here, but can you folks, well, drop it at this point? This is just an ugly bomb waiting to go off now.

We've got no part in this fight or argument, so let's leave things where they settle.

Weren't you, say, I don't know, stating that you had no fucks to give when pigs fly last night?

You weren't particularily happy with 343's direction so you decided not to give a fuck and a half? What's this then?

I always liked the mongoose chestpiece on default armour, but then again, I won't ever lay my hands on the game anyway. And as far as I know, you won't either. No point in complainin' against what you don't have. And if you do have it, well then fuck, if you hate it so much, just pass your Xbox Juan down to me and I'll gladly take the spoopy game off your hands.

True, I didn't give a fuck, but I honestly never thought that they'd reduce Halo 3 and 4 this low in a million years.

Yes, it's just in game armor, but if that's what EVERYONE is saying now, then the community is one big hypocrite.

Remember how "Flaming Recon" was a big fucking deal?

All I'm saying is they could have left 3 and 4 untouched but nope.

Now the 360 version is gonna die out for good as far as Halo 3 goes.

Yeah well join the club. We've all gotta go sometimes right? Nothing lasts forever.

The Halo community's gotten a bit older these past years.

That's what comes with time. Change. Doesn't always mean it's for the better though.

So sit back, take it easy, and go fishing with your fucks.

Fuck 'em, the scum deserve to come back in body bags and I can't wait until tomorrow when all this butcher praising is over.

Stole a poppy and lit that bastard up.

That's your inheritance talkin'

Both sides were in the wrong. Both sides did wrong. But we're here today because of it. It may not be perfect, but what we have would have likely been better than the alternative.

No that's what the British Armed Forces did to my people talkin'

If remembrance day was just to remember the somme then fair enough, but it's to remember soldiers who died in all wars and to hold them up as heroes, but their is nothing heroic about gunning innocent civilians down in the streets and sending loyalist hit squads to the houses of catholics to be burned alive.

Fuck remembrance day, every dead soldier and those who hold the butchers as heroes.

I won't hold it against ya. We've all got our own set of views on the way things work. But you don't have to neccessarily conform to what the day is about. I myself see it as an appreciation and a wake up call to things we have to lose. Of that we have a lot of.

Well I don't see how it ca still be about "those who defend our freedom", yeah they DID defend freedom when Hitler had his European tour but the west hasn't been threatened as severely since, sure there was the russian/american dick sizing and the bands of cave dwellers who like to blow themselves up but theres not been another big bad guy... well a big bad threat (there are plenty of scummy countries *cough* Israel). Then again there is America....

Anyway point is, the Nazis our gone, the Allies won, lets stop pretending all the wars since WW2 are about "our freedom" and the soldiers who invade other countries are "defending".

There's a reason why I said WWII was essentially the last great conflict. All wars since then have had strings in the background. Motivations beyond simply defending.

But, that's the way things are. I can't change that. But I can choose who I pay my respects to and why.
