Yeah sure. We can go until TBlocks is finished with his project.
all right, i'm on

i'm gonna just do a few experiments if you don't mind

So you want to fuck people over by wanting the movie to be shit?

Funny that
what

that's a really sloppy use of the term "fuck over"

you can talk about how characters killing each other in the story is fine, because it's a story
and killing is often a necessary component of telling a specific type of story

but killing isn't a good idea outside of that universe
in fact, it's one of the worst things you could ever do
and before you say it

the reason i'm okay with having killing in games is because no one's actually being killed

when you exploit something's aesthetic, however
you are actually exploiting that aesthetic

Story absolutely can justify an appearance of a character, for obvious reasons that I shouldn't even have to mention because they're so fucking obvious.

If the story didn't have the human/machine element (A BIG PART OF THE STORY), then her appearance wouldn't be justified by the story. But the game does have that element, thus IT JUSTIFIES HER MORE HUMAN APPEARANCE TO EMPHASIS THE FUCKING STORY ELEMENT THAT IS A BIG PART OF THE GAME.
LOL

calm yourself

you misunderstand my use of the word "justify"
yeah, it's justified in-universe

but not out of it

well i'm sorry, but if you're going to misconstrue my argument that badly, it's almost not worth having the discussion

to answer your question--no
you can have female characters

obviously

just don't exploit the female body
because it's obnoxious, and it insults not only women, but the intelligence of all male consumers

It is a load of shit, as in it's not true. There was a specific point value for each unit.
were the units randomly dispersed or something?

So, you shouldn't have a female character, because that can only mean that you want to arouse male gamers?

Unless you know, the design is based around the story to show a stronger connection between the two, which her Halo 4 design does.
thank you for conveniently ignoring my counterexample

no, that doesn't justify a thing
the story CAN'T justify it, that's my argument

i mean i kinda want it to suck, just to spite star wars fans

so i'm excited for the "wrong" reasons, as it were

40152
i think it's gonna suck

Let's just ignore her 2 previous redesigns then.
because they're irrelevant
yes, they were sexualized too

halo 1, and maybe halo 2, are the only depictions that aren't blatantly pandering
Quote
If there wasn't the story element of "who is the human and who is the machine" (and if you'd played the game), then you'd be 100% correct in saying it's just to get teen's dicks hard, but... Yeah.
story doesn't justify abhorrent design

if i write a book that's intentionally boring for artistic purposes, it's still a boring book
and that can never be good

If anything, she's the most sexualized in Halo 3 because her tits jiggle.
well there you go
thank you for helping my argument

well why is it a bad idea? It would organize the threads and reduce the amount of scrolling you'd have to do through threads.
people just like b.old's style more

that was the whole reason behind having offsites like this

because we hated bnet's update so much

so, it would be silly to make ourselves look more like bnet
why not just go back to bnet at that point?

you'd think someone who is so vehemently opposed to pre-ordering would also be opposed to using adblock

because adblock users kill the internet

how does a character go from this
to this

because the game's demographic is mostly men
and most men like pretty women

no fucking shit
i mean COME ON
SHE WAS PRACTICALLY FLAT IN HALO 1

that's the only reason her design had an overhaul

it's just using logic

why would they make the AI female in the first place?
why would they give her a female form?

why did her femininity grow more defined as the series progressed?

So, you can prove beyond the point of any reasonable doubt that Cortana's design was changed purely to give teenagers boners? Please, continue.
No

it's just common sense
if you can't see it, you never will

but it's obvious

cheats in general have just become a relic of the past, haven't they

what's the most recent game that has in-game cheats?
grand theft auto? even then, i remember there was a time when people thought GTA4 didn't have any

flying around as a jedi knight, and then slamming down at the apex of your fifth (or sixth?) jump was really fun

Make it so that anything past the 3rd level of quotes isn't even recorded. That way when you're responding to a longer quote chain, you don't have to scroll down forever to get to the bottom.

Bungie did that on b.old and it worked well, but it was 5 levels instead.
when were there ever notifications on b.old

edit:
nvm i get what you're saying

Anyone that's been here since August can remember when we went through the time period when we turned quote nesting off and it was a fucking pain in the ass to follow a conversation. So what if you get a notification? Its not like it buzzes your phone or something. Just click the little exclamation point and quit being a little bitch.
because that sort of undermines the entire purpose of a notification

if i get notified, i want it to be because someone has something to say to ME
not because a couple of weebs are now having a discussion about anime that i couldn't give a fuck less about
