If you get bored in S2, just skip to the last 2 episodes. You're not missing out on much between the first couple and the last couple.

My advice would be define each question/ answer and the input/ output of such as a function, then give that function a number variable (IE question==1)
Then use a random module to choose a random number between the amount of numbers you assigned and it then run that function.
Or use a list and use the random to select which place in the list it should look, then removing that number from the list.
So (I use python so it would have to be tweaked a bit)
def q1():
*question 1 function*
def q2():
*question 2 function*
q1=1
q2=2
list[1,2]
a=rand.number(0,1)
list[a]
I hope that made sense
omg wat
I edited the last part because it made no sense.
Essentially, write the question as a function, so it can be called later.
def q1():
*question and answer input and shit*
def q2():
*same as above*
Then put those into a list
list[q1,q2]
Then use a random number (In this case 0 or 1) and assign it to a variable
A=rand.number(0,1)
Then use A in the list to recall that function and run it.
list[a]
When I'm on a computer tomorrow I'll write a basic one in python for you to look at if you like. It's kind of hard to explain.
The assignment is due today :/
I'm close to finishing it, but I'm stumped at how to make words into answers.
What do you mean?
Question: What class are you going to play?
Answers : Hunter, Faggot, Whorelock
Have user input one of those choices to be correct. String variables and stuff
I'd set the answer as one of those: answer=hunter Then ask for an input and use an if statement to decide what to do next: userchoice=input() if userchoice==answer: Output ("You got it right") else: Output ("you got it wrong") That way, you can just change hunter to whatever you want it to be and the program does the rest. Though I'm not sure how if statements work in java, so you may need to alter accordingly. Likewise, change output to print or whatever java uses to display text.

You could also import a file for questions and a file for answers, and have the matching pair on the same line. That would make it easier to edit them without recompiling the code.
I'm going off what I know for python, which unfortunately cannot import other files. I just write functions (Or is it modules? I get confused) and then recall them later. It's the next best thing.
Pretty sure you can read an external file in Java.
Well I know that Minecraft has hundreds of files and that's java, so I'm inclined to agree. The way is write the questions would be more like this, though: "What is the capital of England?" If input=="London": Output "+1 point" Else: Output"-1 point" And then return to the file The thing I wrote above was more for selecting a question at random

This...this is really good.
Why did you act like this was bad or twisted in any way?
Shhhhhh.
This one's an easier going one. In fact I think it's the first ever standard human and human thing I've ever written. Everything else, is different.
I keep this close to me, because it's hard to find people who walk this blurred line that I do. But, back to things.
Told ya I had some class.
I find nothing shameful in this. It's well written, tasteful and clearly had a lot of passion put into it. Anyone that has an issue with this is probably just squeamish about sexual encounters.
I've actually gained a lot more respect from you after reading this.
I don't know about you, but it's been a good night for me. Very good indeed.
You know, looking back now, I realize I did a lot of work on this piece. It was a spontaneous idea. And I finished it in roughly two days. But I put a lot of time into this. When I say two days, I really mean two days worth of time spent writing. And most of all, looking through it, I realize all the little things I put into this piece.
I looked deep back into my memories of Halo lore. Did some research on what I didn't remember. I found the dates. Did the math on Danielle's age. I even looked up the list of every single Spartan II in canon, and found a service tag that wasn't used. As much as I've always wanted to write about a Spartan, I held off on it. Because to me, their idea, their concept, and in the story, they are respectable people.
I didn't want a mary sue character. I didn't want her to be "outside" of what a Spartan was, and is. So in that regard, when I started this, from the beginning, I created a character for the sole purpose of killing them. I played my sad music as I wrote the ending, paused and took breaks to clear my head.
I don't know about you, but this piece, in some strange way, breaks my heart. But I'm glad that I wrote it. And personally, I don't think I could have done any better. Most of all, it was good to come back to Halo. I haven't written anything in a long time for it. And this shows how much I've changed over the years, as I've put out stories, and grown as a person.
I hope, that in the years to follow, I can keep doing this, pieces of work like this. And I hope, that along the way, that any people who stick around to read what my strange mind can spin up enjoy what I write. I would never trade this for anything.
In all honesty, have you considered the idea of novel writing?
I don't have the drive for novels. I've always been a short story writer. Like a friend of mine says, short stories are just short novels really. But, you can always take a bundle of short stories and make a novel collection of them. And, I probably would have the number of stories to do it. I've got about 36 completed works, and the unfinished ones bump me up to something like 48. But, in the meantime, no, it's never crossed my mind.
This. You should do this.
I actually enjoy novels that are collections of short stories, makes them easier to read through. Like one a night before bed kind of thing.
Something to consider. Anywho, getting late. I am tired now. But, before I go, since I have a feeling you'll be the only one to have a conversation with, what'd ya think about it? Like I said, taking a look at things, it's fucking amazing all the little things I subconsciously crammed into the bit. Little inspirations and so on.
Like I said, I don't think I could have pulled this off any better. But, some external pair of eyes would be nice on the subject. Best parts? Worst parts? That sort of stuff. I even think I pulled all the stops out on grammar as well. Usually miss a few bits and pieces. Anywho, I'll be off. tootles.
As someone who has read most of the Halo novels, I really really appreciate your attention to detail. It even felt like I was reading one of the novels. How fast was that hog going that it was enough to outright kill a hunter? Must've been going pretty damn fast.
The only thing I can really say is that I was slightly confused in the beginning since I connected the name Douglas to the spartan Douglas, but that was quickly cleared up so no big deal.
Warthog was going full blast. The thing about Hunters is, is even though their armour is thick, I imagine that their suits are partly mechanized. They aren't completely indestructable. And one of them got hit in the back. Even if their armour wasn't damaged, the shockwaves alone, directly over an exposed area, reverberating off the metal would kill the worms.
Ever had something metal in your hands, a long wrench or something, a tool of some kind, and have it been struck? Those vibrations, depending on the strength, hurt.
So if that's the case, I'd imagine that the front of the hog was probably impaled by the hunter's spikes.
In combat, the spikes of a hunter stick p. It is unlikely a 'hog can be impaled on them unless it had ramped off a cliff or something.
Their spikes don't stick up, so much as they stick out. The longest spines of theirs seem to be roughly half the length as the Hunter is tall, so you're looking at 6 feet long minimum. The top ones flare, but generally there's always spines hanging around on the back of them.
In lore it is said they stick up when in combat as they are 'sensors' to allow the forms increased tactical awareness.

It's not an argument even remotely tied to logic. It's a matter of personal belief and nothing more
It is not an argument though, one side is factually correct, me, and one side is factually wrong, the people who believe God is real. There is really nothing more to it. I thought adults were supposed to get over having imaginary friends.
I'm not taking sides. But with that being said, there aren't facts that actually say that a higher being exists or not. From a scientific perspective, how do you prove that something 100% does not exist?
You can't, which is one of the many reason we know he exists.
>can't prove it
> = existing
So how about those Aliens?
Aliens probably do exist on some world somewhere.
I am in awe at how idiotic you are.
I give up.

I'm going with the hog thing. At least one source has mentioned that Hunter armour is made from the same stuff as their warship hull plating. Aside from that, I read up to certain scenes and the writing is pretty good. You seem to have the attitude of the S-II's in there for sure, the only gripe I have is one tht would make the story in itself impossible as theSpartans were indifferent to the other soldiers. They didn't really care what the overall opinion was as long as it didn't affect their mission. However, staying in accordance with that would make this nul anyway. Bretty good, much better written and lore-accurate than most things I have read.

Yes and I hope it stays that way.
Why?
Because I don't like having to go out, having to spend money and time with people an waste time doing shit when I coul be writing or gaming
Don't you think that's a bit...dark?
What do you mean?
You say hanging out with people is a waste of time
How is that dark?
Because your saying you don't like people, basically.
Except hanging out with people and going out is what life is about
You never said how it was dark. Not being social and extroverted isn't dark, wanting to do a real life impression of the game Hatred is dark.
Saying interacting with people, is like saying you don't care about them or do anything with them, which is a bit dark
Pretty much. It's not dark though, just antisocial.

Also add in that they cut having space combat in multiplayer+forge because they didn't think people wanted it.
*ultimate facepalm*
Do you have a source for that? I never heard them say that was the reason why, I just assumed they didn't have time.
FF matchmaking was terrible. If they'd have made an ODST style variant and that SvE one from the beta, it would have been good but the gametypes they had were shit. Well, it was better than ODST where if you didn't have 4 friends that wanted to play, then fuck you.
FF Classic was fine, it's just the dumb ones where you had 4xOS, 1000Health, Infinite ammo, Rocket Launchers, and Jetpacks that killed it. Didn't help when 343i merged the 2 playlists together so that you could never get a full party match for FF Classic.
They had the SvE gametype, but it wasn't popular and had some glitches/unbalance so they removed it.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-29-bungie-toyed-with-reach-space-combat-mpIt appears what I was told effort was a slight exaggeration. However, I was referring to the shitty 4x OS an power weapons gametype. I honestly can't remember the classic mode. As much as what I love 343 is doing with Halo in general, they have shitty playlist management and DLC management.
