I've been stabbed.

Typical London, eh?

Where and how deep?
Buy me dinner first, gosh

Should have seen that coming.

Do you at least have a badass-looking scar?

There's always the hope that two decades from now they'll have better treatment for cancer. Humanity has suppressed or cured more diseases in the past fifteen years than we have in all of history prior; don't count yourself out yet.

Saladin's floor must be covered in a deep layer of jizz right now.

I stayed up until 5 in the morning playing it ._.

I unfortunately don't have the means of acquiring it at this time, but I'm watching a walkthrough and it looks amazing.

I don't understand the appeal of Pokemon. How is buying the same game with slightly different monsters again and again fun?

If I wanted to try the Metal Gear series, would this be a good game to pick up? Or is there a better game in the series to start with?

It'd be best to play MGS3 and Peace Walker first, but I suppose you could start right in the middle of it. You'd miss a lot of information and callbacks to older games though.

One guy in I knew in high school got busted for drugs.

That's about all there is to my classmates' criminal exploits.

I got an earful for posting something like this the other day. How long are we supposed to keep our lips shut about it after launch?

Saladin is most likely playing the game as we speak and has already seen it, so I guess it's fine as long as no information about the story is revealed.

that Spartans are emotionally dead

The Kilo-Five trilogy,

fanfiction is not canon

I know Halo 3 is the true end to the series, but for some reason a lot of people think stuff happened afterward and I like to humor them.

that Spartans are emotionally dead

The Kilo-Five trilogy, Halo 4's ending, and what we've seen of Halo 5 disagree profoundly and deconstruct the concept. Spartans are seen as machines who fight and win and do nothing else, and certainly don't let little things like 'feelings' get in their way. That's what they were meant to be, but it's made evident that they're not. Kurt and Jorge, in particular, are standout examples of Spartans who are quite clearly human underneath their suits. All of them saw Halsey as a mother figure, and learned to respect Mendez as a teacher. John's meeting with Parisa wasn't just an encounter between a walking suit of armor and a forgotten and irrelevant woman from his past. Maria even got married and had a family.

They're definitely psychologically fucked up, but they're not sociopathic.

In Halo Wars you can sometimes hear a Spartan yell 'for Samuel!', so I suppose they do mourn him in their own way.
References have story relevance now?

...Yes?
they don't

it's just a references

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Yes, it's a reference to Sam. Every Spartan was angry that he died. What of it?

The bonds between Spartans are more akin the comrades than friendships, necessarily. Chief doesn't exactly mourn Sam very long, for example.

To be fair he didn't exactly have much time to mourn anyway, what with all the missions and cryo and all that. Also the narrative skipped ahead shortly after IIRC.

All Spartan-IIs are sociopaths.

I wouldn't go that far. It isn't that they lack empathy and remorse or the ability to form emotional bonds, it's that they've been taught not to.
That's generally how sociopaths become sociopaths. It's usually a result of developmental deficits during childhood.

That isn't the point. Spartans most definitely can form bonds and regret their actions in regards to others...but they (usually) don't, at least in regards to non-Spartans. Sociopaths cannot do the same; that's what makes them sociopaths to begin with.

And the scary thing is, Jim Raynor is a lone-wolf badass that lost his partners and has trouble making friends too

That describes almost every protagonist in any game that involves violence.
So who's the protagonist in Battlefront 1&2?

...Me.
