The Flood / Re: Fourth Tragic Death of 2015« on: March 04, 2015, 03:18:03 PM »That's my point. Players shouldn't be John because they aren't. That's nice, but irrelevant. Some like the idea that they are the Master Chief. That was the original intent, and it's hardly idiotic to want to go back to that type of storytelling. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't. Besides, it's not like he's losing much characterization if they did. Quote If you want the player is the character add customisation and don't make a background story for them a la Noble Six, the most boring protagonist in any Halo to date. Bashing Noble Six for being a boring protagonist is like bashing an Elder Scrolls protagonist for being boring. They're only as interesting as you make them. Get more creative, if you didn't like him/her. 5742
Gaming / Re: Oh my god, the Rookie is dead!« on: March 04, 2015, 11:03:18 AM »What worries me is that there isn't going to be any ODSTs left in future Halo games. Everybody just seems to turn into a Spartan IV at this point.That's not true at all. My question is, why isn't becoming a Spartan-IV mandatory for all UNSC recruits? There's no reason not to, if they're so easily mass-produced. 5743
Gaming / Re: Oh my God, Cortana is dead!« on: March 04, 2015, 08:28:50 AM »She was never 'alive' to begin with. I take it you missed the entire point of her characterization in the canon part of Halo's story? Y'know, where she clearly had her own thoughts and emotions, her own personality, she could even feel pain when the Gravemind showed it to her, she could form empathic connections with others and have those connections manipulated... Now, if you mean she was never organic, yeah, that's obviously true. But she was definitely presented as being 'alive' in every sense that matters. 5744

Clearly you don't know the size of black people as well as Kojima and I do. Do you see that giant? He's practically Godzilla next to Kojima. That'd put him at, like, 5'3", at least. What a colossus. 5745
The Flood / Re: Fourth Tragic Death of 2015« on: March 04, 2015, 07:55:32 AM »You've seen the backlash from idiots who want John to be a silent protagonist. Nobody wants him to be entirely silent. Just silent in-game. Having him speak his shiny ass off ruins the effect of the player being in the game and doing all those badass things (and distracts from gameplay in general). 5746

It's how we even out (and more so) the physical playing field with other predators. But we do, so that's irrelevant. It's like asking what would have happened if a bull didn't have horns, or if a tiger didn't have claws. They specifically evolved to have them, just as we specifically evolved to be intelligent enough to know that using a weapon is more effective in killing something than using our laughably underdeveloped muscles and teeth. 5756

The Flood / Re: The human race is obsolete« on: March 04, 2015, 12:08:03 AM »Oh, you ascribe to Verby's line of thinking. I'm sorry, but that really is disappointing.Well, he doesn't own anti-natalism As long as you're not as militant about it as he is, I don't see why it would. I just can't understand how anyone could think of reproduction as an immoral act. It's what all living things do, whether it's sexual or divisional. Quote That's my point. Because you can't ask nothing for it's consent, you should do it. Something that does not exist cannot have conflicting thoughts or hopes. An egg cannot think 'y'know, it'd really fucking suck if I was fertilized right now'. There's no moral issue here; the egg specifically exists to be fertilized by a sperm. That's the reason we have our standard-issue genitalia: so we can reproduce. That's why I've always thought of it as the overarching goal of all living things - to create more of us. And if the egg is not fertilized, it dies. That's it. It did not complete its goal, so it died. If you ask me, the moral thing to do would be to let it carry out its intended purpose. After all, both sets of cells certainly consent to it, given they do literally nothing else. Quote
Except the child didn't want anything. It didn't exist until it was born. If circumstances after birth cause it to hate life, it can correct that later if it feels like it (though I personally consider suicide among the weakest, most spineless acts a human being can commit). 5759

Oh, you ascribe to Verby's line of thinking. I'm sorry, but that really is disappointing. Fact is, there's literally nothing there before a child is born. No thought, no emotion, nothing. You're asking for nothing to give its consent. I'd describe it as being like asking an inanimate object for consent before you do something with it, but it's less than that. It's less than asking some plastic and circuitry for consent before building it into a computer. It's less than asking the chair you're sitting in for consent before sitting in it. It's less than asking a lightswitch for consent before you flip it. If there was something to ask for consent before you do something to it, of course I would. But there isn't. The child-to-be does not exist before the egg gets fertilized and starts multiplying into a full human being. Something that does not exist cannot have rights or freedom of choice, because it does not exist. 5760
