Gaming / Re: Finally finished Halo 5
« on: March 28, 2018, 06:56:05 AM »
I love how the main villain is killed in a cutscene in the beginning so that they can shove Cortana in.
I love how the Prometheans are still an enemy even though their leader (and the one who controlled them) is dead.

Not only does nothing happen, but the things that DO are retarded.
I kind of get why they did that with M'dama

how could M'dama's death be meaningful if Arbiter already slayed Truth, symbolically severing his people's bond with the covenant in Halo 3

the big scene where the covenant shatters already happened, and Jul M'dama only ever served to further Halsey's ends, so he just wasn't needed anymore when she decided to go home, and he went out as her pawn, like he had lived

we didn't need a big confrontation with him, because he was never really the mastermind of that story arc

Gaming / Finally finished Halo 5
« on: March 28, 2018, 05:14:18 AM »
or as I have taken to calling it:

Pretty Much Nothing Happens: The Video Game

seriously it starts, then Chief goes to where Cortana is, then Cortana leaves, and Chief goes to Sanghelios

I guess there's the whole thing on Meridia, and the very short war on Sanghelios, but none of the characters in that portion of the game felt important, and the conflict all felt manufactured and auxiliary to the plot

characters who could've been great like Governor Sloan and Exuberant Witness felt like they were shoved in at the last second, and were completely flat as characters

Sloan's betrayal didn't even feel moderately as close to game changing as Guilty Spark's, and Exuberant Witness pretty much only existed to open doors

even the Arbiter was boring
where we should see his triumphant charge to finally break his people of the old ways, and become a beacon of hope for the future of Sanghelios, we more see him getting his butt kicked then he gets saved by the Spartans and that's pretty much it

what made him work in Halo 2 was his pain and his failure, and the second chance he knew he didn't deserve, and watching that turn slowly into revelation that his failure was not only inevitable, but also that his task only served to perpetuate a lie that kept his people enslaved

Halo 5 could have been the culmination of that, but instead it got breezed over as an subplot that's only kinda there if you look for it

I'm grossly disappointed

If I only scanned in the negatives of my and Ec Mrs Chalies travels. I did a ton of pretty good architectural shots and people. That’s one of my regrets. I didn’t keep my negatives.

The Flood / Predictions for Infinity War?
« on: March 19, 2018, 08:35:10 PM »
Anything will do.
Predictions for either part.

I think Tony will lose an arm, but frankly I don't know who, if anyone, will die.

Vision is too new a character to be killed off, I think the removal of the mind stone will just turn him off temporarily or weaken him significantly.

Thor just became king of Asgard, so he's not going anywhere. I do think he'll reforge Mjolnir tho.

Some support character(s) will probably die, and nobody will probably care. Not everyone is a Phil Coulson. Maybe Fury will actually die?

In a word, I think it's going to be bloated, but doubt there's going to be a scene where they all face Thanos at once like the standoff in Civil War. Pacing will inevitably be an issue as we jump around trying to follow multiple character threads,but I hope this will be remedied by focusing mainly on the core cast of the original six Avengers, or better yet just Cap, Tony, Bruce, and Thor.

In the second part it would be great to see that focus shift to be mainly on Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Vision, and Scarlet Witch, possibly with a little less Scarlet Witch. I really don't think her character is strong enough to be a spotlight hero, and I kind of imagine her satisfying Black Widow's current role, as a support character who shows up in a bunch of other people's movies.

I don't expect the film to be visually enticing from a cinematic perspective, instead I expect it to rely heavily on special effects to create visual spectacles that will be, while memorable, not necessarily breathtaking or emotion inducing. Trent Opaloch has a pretty distinct style which shows impossible fantasies against very raw (and sometimes bleak) camerawork.

Anyone else have thoughts on it?

The Flood / Marvel Rebirth?

http://www.denofgeek.com/us/books-comics/marvel/271124/marvel-reboot-coming-in-may

Could Earth-616, which has been Marvel's main Universe since the first appearance of Namor the Submariner in 1939, be ending?

There aren't a lot of details about Marvel's fresh start yet, so it's too early to say if this will mark the end of their Prime Universe, but I'm not sure if that would be a bad thing.

DC has been accused of overusing the total reboot, but considering how potent it was at the end of Crisis, and how long overdue Marvel is having never done one, it just might be time for them.

Why is Desti turning into Deci?
eh he was always a super insecure loser

I don't remember exactly when he started his internet tough guy routine but at least now he has a personality outside of "literally autistic"

Austin apparently has a huge night life and music scene.
I've really only been around Waco and Killen though. The only thing to do there is drink.

Pretty much the same in DFW
it's not even close to the same

Austin has more live music being performed at any given time than any other city in the world, and the night life is way more enjoyable because it's less ghetto af.

Austin is a tourist's city, DFW pretty much only sees business travel.
