Kasich > Carson > Rubio > Jeb >>>>>>> Shit >>>>>>>>>>> All the other candidates >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Trump.
If the final election is between Hillary and Trump, I'm not even going to vote.
what's a third party
Even if I voted for a third party I'd still be throwing my vote away. So it wouldn't make much difference if I voted or not. Third parties never win.
only because people have this mentality (and because of the dumbass motherfucking electoral college)

I may as well move right on to Two Betrayals.
I like how I'm given a plasma pistol to take out the sentinels easier, even though I never used any plasma weapons all throughout the Library.

Mine's a tie between Silent Cartographer and 343 Guilty Spark.
I don't expect the last three levels to be much better, and those two were only decent. Maybe I'll be surprised.

Ha
I get it.
Anyway, activating Halo would only wipe out one sector of the galaxy.
oh, okay i overestimated its power, then i redact my previous statements, partially--the level was still meh

Well.
*shrug* i appreciate her fervor i would prefer it if future questions asked by me weren't answered until i finish the game, though

I mean, the fact that they have you go through the same area, like, five or six times was pretty bullshit, but I've come to just accept that that's part of the game. A bad part, but I'm not gonna say that it's bullshit, because everybody already knows that it's bullshit. *shrug* I'll mention it in the review, for sure, but yeah.

As a fun fact, you can shoot the arms off the combat flood forms and they can't hurt you. They'll just follow you around.
Didn't think of that. there were so many
Overall, because my expectations were set so low, I'm pretty indifferent towards this level. I don't know what to think. It really wasn't that hard, for two reasons: 1. The shotgun kicks way too much ass, and 2. The sentinels are pretty OP, too. The level was almost like purgatory, in the sense that I kinda felt invincible, and there was no tension whatsoever. The ending pissed me off for obvious reasons. We learn that the Flood can only be destroyed if we starve them to death, and the most efficient way of doing that is to destroy all sentient life with Halo. ...Which is clearly the best solution ever. And of course, they don't go for it, because "muh sentient life". Bull fucking shit. I think someone mentioned that I'd find 343 Guilty Spark (the character) annoying. I didn't, really. I kinda liked him. Not only was he kinda funny, he's the one taking the most LOGICAL route: Activate Halo. I'd rather be fucking dead than be ravaged by the Flood. Honestly. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. So yeah, not gonna write up a full update of this level. I don't really have much else to say about it anyway.

those were always my favorite petty missions lol
Now, the missions where you have to save people from their capsizing boats? Fuck those ones.

Sigh, you have knack to make people feel bad about themselves. My bad. No, it's okay. I appreciate the effort put in to your lengthy explanation. It IS a lot to take in, but I mean, it's not like that's a bad thing. No big deal.
ONLY DIED ONCE BITCH WHAT'S UP

dont forget, there arent that many flood forms, besides like, what, 5? halo 3 had a good variety of them
I've seen three so far. I suppose that's plenty. I remember seeing a big fat one that explodes into those smaller squidlets when shot at, and maybe that's the last form. I like all the forms, really. What I'm mainly concerned about is where they came from and what purpose they serve in the story, which I assume I'll be finding out soon.
Playing now. After I beat the Library, I think I'm gonna start doing what Snake did before MGSV came out, and asking a bunch of random questions that pertain to CE as we head towards the end. Just for added discussion value.

I'm pretty sure cortana decided to stay behind at the control room while chief went to get keyes
that would explain it then

i'd be fine with that
i mean, the megathread thing is gonna be solved as soon as we have private groups
so there'll only be this one left
ideally

should this just be the stupid-shit-flinging-argument-about-stupid-bullshit megathread
to prevent all thread derailment or something

I'm just glad I'm finally starting to see some enemy variety here. It'll be fun seeing how many other Flood forms there will be.
also, i apologize for the updates themselves being of low structural quality
i don't really have any way of organizing them besides just typing up all my thoughts all at once in random order, so
the review is gonna be a lot more calculated, of course

I want to hear what you have to say first.
c00l
Well, what a pleasant surprise! This level was actually pretty fun. I'd say it's on-par with Silent Cartographer in terms of its fun-ness. There wasn't very much I disliked about it at all (mostly), besides the gripes I've had with how the game plays in the first place. But even those aspects were given a nice spin here, for obvious reasons. When the level starts, I somehow knew that it was gonna be cool. The dark, eerie setting in the forest was very neat, and the soundtrack being mostly absent introduced a delightfully creepy atmosphere. The level design was obviously inspired heavily by Endor. In general, the entire game has been giving me that Star Wars vibe, but this is the level where one of the marines actually cracks the line, "I got a bad feeling about this." I don't have much love for Star Wars as a franchise, but that line made me smile. I knew this level was gonna introduce the Flood as soon as I entered the room with the ceiling that was dripping green shit perpetually. I was disappointed with HOW the Flood was introduced, though—they couldn't have went a more cliche/cheesy-ass route. A piece of found footage depicts the marines getting fucked up by the Flood. Surrrrrre. Convenient. MC was sitting there for so long watching that stupid thing—I was wondering how the fuck he didn't get flanked by the Flood while he was sitting on his ass all like, "Wow, I wonder what happened!?!" So that was dumb. I actually expected the Flood to be a lot scarier, too. I remember people back on b.old talking about how scared they were of the Flood when they first saw them. Not only are they not scary... They're kinda funny, too. And weak, but maybe that's just because of my difficulty setting. But they're hilarious—I thought it was hysterical when some of them started picking up weapons and shooting them at me. It was a little bit ridiculous. Really, I like the Flood, though. The whole level has given off this cheesy horror-flick kinda vibe that's hard not to like, but I'm not gonna pretend that it isn't a little bit silly and hard to take seriously. In terms of the weapons, I finally started to make peace with the stupid assault rifle. It's still a boring-as-fuck weapon, but I made short use of it, until... "Ooh, is that a shotgun!?" The shotgun... It rules. Enough said. Best weapon in the game. Like I said, the level was a little difficult to navigate at first, but once I started memorizing locations, which didn't take very long, I was out of that joint immediately. So, plot-wise, here are my questions (plz don't answer): 1. I think I saw Sgt. Johnson in that video clip. Everyone likes him for some reason, because he's a black Samuel L. Jackson type motherfucker, I guess. I guess that means I'm supposed to like him, too, because he's black, and he swears a lot, and he uses colorful metaphors, and... that makes him likable, I guess. Did he die? Is he still around? I bet he's still around. They wouldn't just kill him off like that. 2. What the fuck is the Flood, anyway? I mean, this is my NAMESAKE, damn near. This is where I'm coming from. I gotta know this. 3. So that's why Cortana wanted to stop Keyes, right? She detected something amiss in this sector? She was eerily silent for this entire level. Didn't say a damn word, even after she witnessed Keyes and his posse being attacked. So, where is Keyes, and what was he doing on this sector anyway? Good level overall, enjoyed it.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
most movies have bits of comedy sprinkled in them, so... that kind of comedy.
if i had to pick a specific kind, i tend to like black comedy, gallows humor, british dry wit, uhhh
yeah, all those are good
have you seen trainspotting? that's a funny movie, despite it being kinda dark and unpleasant

I still have yet to find a good reason to like Kasich.
So he's the least shitty GOP candidate—great. Is that what it's gonna come down to?
Because if it comes down to voting for the least shitty candidate (again), I may just not even vote.
