  1. Lol you won't find too many violations to report here. We moderators are constantly scrubbing the forum with our banbrushes to make sure that it's not icky. And if you do see something we've missed, we do not mind if you let us know. lol Anyways, welcome to the friendliest corner of the Haloverse. I hope you enjoy your stay here, and make plenty of new friends. If you have any questions about the site, please feel free to PM myself or any other moderator.
  2. Did you know that there is a Halo board game?
  3. I'm not going to get into an anti/pro-military argument with you. The fact of the matter is, if Romney becomes president, then the only people that will benefit are those that are in the military (MAYBE), and the rich. Everyone else will suffer. I'm registered as a Republican, and I love my country, but I'll be DAMNED before I let an airhead like Romney into office. He might boost the military budget, but the fact of the matter is he's going to get more of our soldiers killed, and I'm NOT okay with that. I would rather have died in Afghanistan than watch a Bush clone tear this country apart even more than it has been. Oh, and I just realized this was directed at me. Perhaps a little back-story may shed some light on the situation.I had (still have, currently taking antibiotics for it) cellulitis. Normally, the way to treat cellulitis is by prescription antibiotics and cutting it out (as you probably know). However, I was not able to seek medical attention until it had hit my bloodstream. At that stage, the only treatment is a whole LOT of medicine. The only "medical attention" they can provide is to fill out a prescription and give you some advice. So the visit is free (or at least only 30 dollars), but the treatment is not. The only hospital nearby doesn't have it's own pharmacy, so I have to get my prescriptions from Walgreens or Wal-Mart. Which aren't under the hippocratic oath.
  4. If you are new to tekkit (or interested in what it is) then here :)

  5. Same reason anyone loves a video game. Because it's entertaining. Whether you like the story, the multiplayer, the gameplay, or even just the look of it, as long as it entertains you, you'll love it. Well, if we look at evolution as a factor, then more than likely they would have four legs and two or more arms. On the other hand though, it could be that humans having two legs is what caused our brain to grow to the point of sentience. It is far more difficult to walk on two legs than it is to walk on four. My suggestion would be to see if you could buy some textbooks relating to what you are interested off of the internet, sites such as ebay or amazon. Or, you could try asking your local college if they would mind you buying some books from them.
  6. Just means he hasn't registered on HXC yet.
  7. World's longest intro post. xD Anyways, welcome to the forum If you have any questions about the site, please feel free to PM myself or another moderator. I hope you enjoy your time here and make plenty of friends.
  8. There is only two books (so far) that you will need to understand this thread. They are called Cryptum and Primordium.
  9. Or you could go into matchmaking until you find a guy better than you, and ask him if he would mind having a couple of 1v1's with you so you could get better.
  10. A tugboat transformer would more than likely fry it's circuitry... wouldn't be much of a fighter then would it?
  11. Yeah, you know when I was in the USMC I don't recall ever teaching a class, being a doctor, driving a bus (full of civilians), lowering taxes, or going into outer space. Nor do I recall preventing planes from flying into buildings. All I remember doing is going over to Afghanistan and fighting. The fact of the matter is our military is one of the largest in the world, and has more advanced technology most. The only countries that would even stand a chance against us in an attack on US Soil are at peace with us, and have no call to attack us. As a matter of fact, if they did attack us, then they would be breaching their position on the UN, and would effectively screw their country over for the next century or so. We do not NEED a larger military. The only reason Romney wants one is so he can play general by attacking Iran. Which, by the way, even his facts supporting his statements that we should attack Iran are completely made up, outright lies.
  12. Any ship can be used in combat, but the fact of the matter is the designs of a freighter and a fighter are different. And I said that the MF was MEANT to have a small crew (i.e. 3-4 people). Basically what you are saying is that a tugboat is a battleship because both can have 2 people crews and still maintain a bit of function and both of them can be used in combative roles.
  13. I do believe that he was simply comparing the two different ships, without trying to offend anyone. As he said in the OP, the title is just for some shock value to get people to look at the topic. As for the OP, the Millennium Falcon is what is known as a "universal ship design". In other words, it's been used so much that it's hard NOT to eventually create a ship that looks similar to it. It's the same with the UNSC ships in Halo. In this case, the only real similarity is in the shape, which is like saying that my Dunkin' Donut is like my car tire lol Differences between the two craft: 1. The Millenium Falcon is a Freighter, the Seraph is a fighter. 2. The Millenium Falcon is meant to have a small crew, while the Seraph only needs a pilot. 3. The Millenium Falcon is white, the Seraph is purple. 4. The Millenium Falcon has it's cockpit in the front of the ship, the Seraph has it in the center. 5. The Millenium Falcon fires laser and missile weapons, the Seraph uses guided plasma and rapid fire plasma weapons.
  14. Don't quote the spambots please. -.-
  15. Yep, they sure did. They added it after it was BEGGED for by the majority of forum goers, only to have it complained about by the same forum goers who begged for it. lol
  16. Commendations, ribbons, and in-game challenges have always counted toward the credit cap. The only way to earn credits that hasn't was the custom challenges, and that only lasted for about a month because people abused the crap out of it.
  17. Indeed. Also, I'd like to point out that most people think of multiple universes being the same universe, but slightly different in some way. An example of this line of thought would be "In a different universe I am married to Angelina Jolie." I can see how you could think this, but no. The same line of thought would be "In a different country I am married to Angelina Jolie". Another universe wouldn't be a different plane of existence, or an alternate dimension, but simply something very very very (x10392489384812^891328919273192873) far away. The idea of another universe containing an exact copy of yourself living a different life is, quite frankly, ludicrous. It's fun to imagine though.
  18. Lol Yeah, except save my life. If it weren't for Obamacare, the insurance I have would not have covered the antibiotics I needed (even with Obamacare, they only covered roughly 45% of the cost, mind you). Fact is, I didn't have the money required to get the antibiotics full price, and with how ill I had become I had no way of making the money either. If Obamacare hadn't put pressure on the insurance companies to actually cover needed medicines, I would be dying a slow and painful death.

  24. Actually, if you reread Cryptum, the Didact himself wonders if the humans would have won the war against them if they hadn't been fighting a war on two fronts. Also, the humans didn't actually invent a cure (as the Timeless One reveals), the flood LET the "cure" work on them. That is why the forerunners were not able to make a cure.
  25. The only time I look up an answer is if it's a question that someone actually NEEDS answered. And the only reason I look it up is to verify my current knowledge on the subject. You see, I have a lot of time on my hands, and internet access. So I spend my days trying to learn as much as I possibly can. I love quiz shows like Jeopardy and QI (and some of the answers you've seen in this thread came from things I've learned from QI, in fact) and love browsing random pages on wikipedia in my off-time, and verifying their contents. Knowledge is something that I absolutely adore, and I'm as addicted to it as some people are addicted to coffee. 1. Been asked three times already xD The answer is: "Nothing".2. I DESPISE brussel sprouts. I don't care how they are cooked, or what seasoning/salad dressing/etc. is on them, I loathe their very existence They are like evil little cabbages, which taste ten times as bad! Ah Afghanistan. Beautiful this time of year. Well, sort of. At least it's warm though. Well, during the day... Anyways, Spartan Ops will be released as DLC, so you will be able to download it upon your return stateside. Just like the Halo 3 and Halo Reach map packs. As far as we know, it's not a "limited time" offer or anything, they will simply be released one by one as DLC. So, as long as you have a gold account, you'll be golden. Remember to zip your bag up all the way while you are over there. Camel spiders and whatnot. I love the hell out of tea. My tea. As in the kind I make. Screw Lipton, their tea doesn't have crap on mine! lol I do not give out personal information on other people. Ever, no exceptions. I do not work for 343i, and cannot help you here. Although, I'd like to see a five letter/number clantag as well. lol
