The Director

I highly doubt it. Activision spent 500 million (or thereabouts) on the first Destiny. The ONLY way they can break even is by selling between 15 and 16 million copies. They cannot do this by making the game an exclusive title. In the top 40 games ever sold (which starts at 15 million copies btw), the only exclusive titles are for Nintendo, and this is because of their popularity in Japan. There isn't a single PlayStation or X-Box exclusive title on that list. So, for Activision to see a profit on the first Destiny, they have to be sold on as many platforms as possible. IF they decided to make a Destiny 2 (which is doubtful because sequels to MMO's are a rarity, usually they just expand on the original because it's cheaper and they can maintain their population) making it a Playstation exclusive will require them to severely cut the budget for that game to break even. Not to mention that it doesn't make any sense to create a game series that is cross-platform only to have it become an exclusive later. That's like the opposite of the normal route a game series takes. As far as my reaction to it, I would only care a little because of how stupid the decision to do that would be. Destiny is not my cup of tea, as the phrase goes. I have no interest in the game itself, but rather the machinations behind it.

Then they would be sued, because there is already a game called Fate.

Quite easily. Black holes suck, white holes blow. I would like to point out that everything to do with black/white holes is still theory at this point in time, as we cannot currently experiment on them. Everything that follows is put as simply as possible: A black hole is formed when a large star implodes. As it collapses under it's own gravity, the event horizon (the point of which nothing can escape the gravity of the black hole) forms. The star continues to shrink until it reaches the point where it cannot compress any further due to "Loop Quantum Gravity" (might lose you here, but basically gravity and space time are quantified to the point where they are made from loops that cannot be subdivided any further than they have been [google it if I lost you]). When it reaches this point, the loops "bounce" and exert an outward pressure. This creates a "white hole", where the contents of the black hole are explosively ejected back into the universe. This transformation from the beginning of the formation of the black hole to when the white hole is created is only a few thousandths of a second, however it appears to last much longer to us because the gravity stretches light waves and dilates time. *snickers* Well, brown holes usually emit solids and yellow holes usually emit liquids. I use the term usually due to the fact that while the holes are intended to function in that manner, on occasion they reverse their intended functions. Sometimes a brown hole will emit liquids, and sometimes a yellow hole will emit solids. It should also be noted that these holes are not necessarily originally brown or yellow (and in most cases remain their original color) but are stained in that manner over time. They are still called brown and yellow holes because of the coloration of the excretions that are generally emitted from each hole respectively.

Half correct. Halo was originally intended to be on Mac, but was then purchased by Microsoft to be the flagship exclusive title for the X-Box. It was then ported to the PC nearly two years after the X-Box release. Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(series)#Original_trilogy

Smeeze. #staffwillprevail

It is weird that you would dream that... But I wouldn't mind terribly. My current situation would prevent me from buying it on it's current release date. By May 5th, 2015 though I'd be able to purchase and play it on the release day. Lmao time for an essay. Alright, so the Monkey and the Hunter Theory is a thought experiment used to explain the effects of gravity on the motion of a projectile. Basically, a hunter finds a monkey in the jungle that is hanging from a tree. The hunter fires his gun at the same time that the monkey releases his grip on the tree branch, presumably to try to avoid being shot. The monkey will accelerate downward at the rate of gravity (9.8 meters per second squared). The projectile will accelerate at it's initial velocity along the line it was originally fired, but will also fall at 9.8 MPS^2. So the projectile is falling just as fast as the monkey while accelerating towards the monkey. This means that if the Hunter aimed directly at the monkey, then the projectile will hit the monkey. I really enjoy this particular though experiment because it's a perfect metaphor for how Galileo's Law (all objects are pulled toward Earth at the same rate of speed) works. As everyone knows, I love speaking in metaphor, and coming across a perfect one (one that cannot be picked apart) is a rarity. To go off on a tangent here, the only way that this thought experiment wouldn't be applicable is if Terminal Velocity (the top speed of an object being pulled toward Earth) came into effect. Terminal Velocity comes into effect when an object reaches it's top speed because of it's weight. If you were to drop a bowling ball and a tennis ball from 3 feet up, they would both hit the ground at the same time. If you were to drop them from 1500 feet up, the bowling ball would hit the ground first because the tennis ball would have reached it's terminal velocity before the bowling ball did. The bowling ball would have kept accelerating while the tennis ball maintained a constant speed, and thus would have beat the tennis ball in the race to the ground. If we were to apply Terminal Velocity to this thought experiment, that would change everything. The monkey would be able to avoid the bullet because the bullet would have reached it's terminal velocity before the monkey did. The reason that it DOESN'T apply, however, is that the monkey would have to be really high up and the hunter would have to be rather far away for this to happen. This would result in either the monkey's death by splatting, or the projectile being unable to reach the monkey's position in the first place. Now, if we had a super-monkey that could survive an impact with the Earth but had an inexplicable weakness to bullets, the hunter had a Barrett .50 cal, the monkey were high enough to reach terminal velocity (and still have enough height to accelerate enough for the bullet to pass above it's head), and the bullet was fired far enough away and at such an angle to reach it's terminal velocity as well then the monkey could avoid being hit by the bullet. Another off tangent thing (since I love discussing the applications of gravity), did you know that firing a bullet straight up in the air would yield a non-lethal collision to anything under it? This is because bullets fired at a 90 degree angle slow to the point of stopping and accelerate to the ground at 9.8 mps^2. This is FAR slower than the bullet was originally fired. Also, since the bullet is very light it's top speed is just enough to hurt, but not enough to kill. A bullet fired at an angle, however, is still usually lethal. This is because while it also falls at 9.8 mps^2, it is still traveling at nearly the speed it was originally fired along the angle it was fired because the only thing slowing it down is friction.

Hmm... You mean the tag PADC is on the Post A Day Challenge thread? Why, whatever could it mean? D: Probably A Dumb Challenge? Principles All Dunk Cheese? Prince Albert Dances Cheerily? Pulmonary Arrest's a Deadly Condition?

No, they are not. They would shut down Halo 3 before they shut down Halo Reach, and they have no reason to shut down either. The service record not being recorded is a glitch caused by the updates to Waypoints tracking algorithms. The servers going down earlier this week were part of a troubleshooting process to fix the service records.

This happens for about 27% of the Reach population every time they do a reset of the servers lol It's happened to me three times so far. .-. Every other time it took a day or two to start working properly again, but it did sort itself out eventually.

As Bnus said, we aren't 343i and there is no official comments as of yet. That being said, here's the scuttlebutt (rumors) floating around. 343i recently did a massive update to Halo Waypoint and implemented some new features and took down the mobile apps. Right after they did that, Halo Waypoint stopped recording new games played on Halo Reach. Rumors say that the new update they did caused Waypoint to stop gathering new games for Halo Reach, making it to where stats were no longer displaying properly. Rumors also say that the recent server outage for Reach was part of a troubleshooting process to correct this earlier problem. So, according to rumor, they are working on it. We should see results here in a little while.

You need a bit of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYE5cxQrIp8&list=PLzeXPHBswh2f-zlstQRHeADNMj2CW6J4i A month sounds good.

It's actually not very likely. Valve is making a ton of money off of steam, so it's kind of difficult to justify going back to developing games.

Interestingly enough, no. No one has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

Correctamundo.

Well, first you have to have the pictures saved to your computer. There are a couple of different ways to do this, but I find uploading them to your fileshare and saving them from halowaypoint.com works pretty well. Now that you've got them saved to your computer adding them to your topic is easy. First way: When creating a new topic, you should see on the bottom left hand side of the screen the option to "Attach Files". When you click that, it gives you the option to upload files (the pictures). You can also select multiple pictures. Once they've finished uploading, click the "Add to Post" option next to the name of your pictures. This will add them to your topic. You can copy paste the attachment link to get the pictures where you want them to go. Second way: You can use an image hosting website (imgur, imageshack, photobucket) to upload the pictures. Once you have them uploaded, simply copy the image URL and paste them into your topic. Once it's pasted, use the image BBCode to make them show as pictures in your topic. Image Tags: [img=www.photobucket.com/exampleofyourpicture1231231] Third way: If you've already created your topic, editing it will allow you to use both the first and second way to add pictures to your topic. Hope that helps. Also, please bear in mind that we would really prefer it if the videos you post are from youtube.

Still nope.

You know, I had totally forgot about that. Whoops.

None of the above.

The Unidentified Flying Object that crashed in New Mexico was later revealed as a surveillance balloon. The original purpose of the balloon was monitor Russia's Nuclear Weapons tests. Our relationship with Russia was very flaky at the time, so the government claimed that this balloon was a weather balloon. At the time, paranoia was the norm, and when people asked why the government was so strictly securing the area of the crash the government pretty much said, "cuz we can". This led to a massive craze that an alien craft had crashed in Roswell and that the government had covered it up. This was exacerbated by the locals who noticed that tourism had gone way up and started fabricating evidence to further "prove" that the surveillance balloon was actually an alien craft. It was even FURTHER exacerbated by our government, who flat out refused to provide any proof on the matter until the 1990's. In reality, we simply didn't want to admit that we were spying on Russia. Because it was a rebel. Ah, fun. Anyways, the quasar that you're talking about (the one that is so big it shouldn't exist) exists probably because of our oversimplification of our mathematical description of the universe. We just need to correct it and move on, really. Whenever something breaks the laws of physics, all it is doing is proving us incorrect. All we have to do is rewrite the law until it is correct and see how well it holds up in the future.

Of course it can. Now it is. You are welcome.

That's... I... But... What?

Yeah, just figured that out. I didn't think mine were effected, but it appears that they are (I haven't played Reach in 3 weeks and just now played a game and it didn't show up). As Self Destruct said, we're a community forum so no one here works at 343i. I've been doing some digging for you though, and it looks like it's a bug related to the update that killed the mobile waypoint apps. The crappy thing about these bugs is that we've gotta wait for them to figure out where in the code the bug is and to build a patch for it.

Holy cow, I've never seen anything like that before. I went on your profile and pulled up your gamertag in Waypoint and it shows your challenges and your commendations, but none of your actual stats. Link below: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/lady%20memnoch/haloreach#!/Competitive Alright, so from my limited expertise in these matters I think that I might be able to help. Got a couple of questions. 1. Have you recently changed your gamertag? 2. When was the last time you played Reach? 3. Do you have an active X-Box Live Gold subscription? 4. Have you boosted or done anything against the code of conduct that you may have been reported for (don't worry, I'm not a cop or anything lol)? 5. Were you playing Halo Reach on your own X-Box or someone else's? 6. You mentioned another account. Are you having the same issue with that account as well? 7. What type of NAT do you have?

Logic? No. Halo Combat Evolved came out in 2001 Halo 2 came out in 2004 Halo 3 came out in 2007 Halo Reach came out in 2010 Halo 4 came out in 2012 And Halo 5 is slated to come out in 2015 If you follow the pattern (with the exception of Halo Reach [made by Bungie] and Halo 4 [made by 343i] primary Halo games usually come out every three years. So Halo 6 will probably come out in 2018. There's no way it's going to be released in 2016. If they DID release in it 2016 then that would mean that the game would be released incomplete and Halo would die.
