Where was Borestellar at when he activated the Halos? You would think that he wouldn't have been in a Shield World or other protective Installation (besides the Ark) to save himself. Anyway the Didact is waay too important a Character. He experimented on himself before the Halo Activation to prevent himself from being infected by the Flood, but turned immune to Composure in the process. I'm sure that he could have been transported back to Requiem (like how all the people in New Phoenix were transported there and turned into Prometheans), but was not turned due to immunity. I'm confident that most of this is true so if it isn't please enlighten me lol Seeing how Requiem crashed into a Star 6 months later, there's no telling where he could have gone. Plus in my opinion I'm thinking that the Didact thinks that the Chief is now a worthy competitor and maybe would like some hand to hand combat or something, idk just a thought.

Half-Life 2 (it's at a point where it doesn't really need a remaster, but who gives a ****. Valve won't get off their butts and tell us about Half Life 3 already so I think we deserve at least SOMETHING.) Marathon, Marathon: Durandal, and Marathon: Infinity. I've heard somewhere that Bungie is making Marathon 4, so I'm real excited for that.

Who's asda?

I was watching "The Daily Show" on CC a couple days ago and found out (from the guest host Luis Black ), that there is a Robot that knows when to pour you a beer. The robot uses an Xbox-One Kinect... quoted from: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57586654/robot-knows-when-to-pour-you-a-beer/ "Thirsty for a cold brew? Now there's a robot that is learning how to keep your beer glass full. Researchers at Cornell University's Personal Robotics Lab have programmed a robot to anticipate human actions, and assist in tasks, like opening a refrigerator door or pouring a drink. The robot works in conjunction with a Microsoft Kinect, which is a 3D-scanning device, and a database of 3D videos. It uses Kinect to scan a room to identify what action is taking place, and then predicts different scenarios by considering how various objects in the room can be used. Once the data is gathered, the robot determines its moves based on what it anticipates a person will do next. Researchers say it does this by generating a "set of possible continuations into the future" and "chooses the most probable. In one demonstration, the robot is seen observing a human reach for a pot and move toward a refrigerator. In that scenario, the robot senses the person's direction and moves to open the refrigerator door. In another, the robot sees that a subject has poured cereal and milk, and responds by putting the milk back in the refrigerator. "We extract the general principles of how people behave," Ashutosh Saxena, Cornell professor of computer science, said in a press release. An algorithm helps the robot anticipate what move a human will make next. The researchers show an example of a robot pouring a beer without anticipating a man's movement. In that case, the robot does not see that the person goes in for a sip of his drink. Once it is programmed to anticipate future movement, it sees that the man reaches for a drink and waits to pour the beer. Researchers say the robot has 82 percent accuracy in making predictions 1 second into the future, 71 percent for three seconds and 57 percent for 10 seconds. Saxena says the goal is for the robot to learn how to predict human actions on its own, rather than following a set of actions determined by code. "The future would be to figure out how the robot plans its action," Saxena said. "Right now we are almost hard-coding the responses, but there should be a way for the robot to learn how to respond." The research is supported by the U.S. Army Research Office, the Alfred E. Sloan Foundation and Microsoft. Findings will be presented at the International Conference of Machine Learning in Atlanta from June 18 to 21." Watch a demonstration of Cornell's beer-pouring robot below.

I'll prob get the One just for Halo 5. Dead Rising 3 seems interesting since the Kinect will be used by Zombies to literally hear you scream so they know you're there.

I'm unaware of this. I've found a bunch of Easter eggs on Sandtrap though. Like the turrets on the Frigate in the sky look like Transformers lol

And from what ive heard the balloons wont be affected by storms from that high up.

Quoted from: http://www.slashgear.com/googles-project-loon-uses-giant-balloons-to-bring-affordable-internet-15286608/#comment-931776526 "Google's Project Loon uses giant Balloons to bring affordable internet" On May 24, we reported on a tip that Google plans to launch wireless Internet service in emerging markets that have little or no access to the Internet. While the leaked details were extensive, one bit stuck out among the rest: the use of balloons to transmit signals over long distances. At least that aspect of the rumor has turned out to be true, with Google announcing the method as Project Loon. According to Google, two of every three individuals on Earth either do not have access to the Internet, or don’t have access to a connection that is both fast and within their financial means – in some areas, individuals are faced with prices equal to more than a month’s paycheck. This issue isn’t going to resolve itself without thinking outside of the box, according to the company, and that is where the balloons come in. These balloon systems would be sent up into the sky at a height double that of your average commercial airplane, and from such a position would rain upon those below a fast Internet connection that would otherwise be unattainable or expensive due to being in a remote location or other factors. The system is still in the very early stages, Google advises, but it has already built a system. The balloons would form a ring, according to the announcement, and would be moved around via the stratospheric winds that far up. From the balloons’ high standpoint, they would serve the location below with a wireless Internet connection that provides speeds equal to 3G mobile connections at a minimum. Interestingly enough, this would also help to provide Internet connections in locations where the land has been harmed by a natural disaster. The balloons wouldn’t be tied down, which is obvious from the height at which Google plans to release them. Instead, they’ll be equipped with systems that allows Google to control them remotely, moving them up or down as necessary to the winds that will take them to their desired location. This, says the Internet giant, is currently being worked out via “complex algorithms and lots of computing power.” Sound a bit loony? Google says that is why they named it Project Loon.

Banned for realizing that thls word is misspelled.

I know Spartan Ops has a ****load of easter eggs. The Campaign I also know has allot of easter eggs but no one has found them yet

Hey you're profile pic. I think it's from Star Wars Republic Commando right? I loved that game.

I was kinda bummed that the only reference of the Brutes was in the Halo 4 Prologue. I really wanted more reference to them since they've been with Halo for awhile, but it is what it is. For anther game it would be complicated to have them. I know Spartan Assault has them, but in what way I don't know. The Elites (the separatists) were at total war with the Brutes by the end of Halo 3 with the goal of decimating them. I know the Storm Covenant has Elites, but I don't think they'll be likely to forgive any Brutes since they pretty much threw them out of their positions in Halo 2, but you never know. The Loyalists might be willing to work with them since the destruction of the Humans is a common goal for the both of them. The Brutes highly destructive nature may cause allot of clashes in leadership, but it could possibly work. I highly think the Brutes will be encountered as a 3rd army to the Prometheans and Storm Covenant, who align themselves with no one, maybe even a Separate faction of Covenant. Maybe they join up with the Storm I don't know I'm just speculating here. Now on the note on weapons. There is so much fresh territory to be explored with Brute Weapons. I definitely feel that some old favorites like the Mauler, and Brute Shot could make a reappearance but with new games comes a feeling for new weapons. You're definitely hitting the nail with you're descriptions. We could maybe have a melee weapon that is like a metallic whip. Something similar to the Electric guy's (that guy with the whips in Iron Man 2. I can't remember his name) electrified whips. Like you can grip someone who's a ways away, bring them in or throw them up in the air, and slam them into the ground or something... well that's a little too extreme. Maybe it could be just a Campaign only weapon idk. Or maybe a knife throwing shotgun, that works similar to the Scattershot, but the blades fly waaay farther, but have more damage, and bounce off everywhere. To make it balanced with the Scattershot the reload or primary fire could be really slow, maybe as slow as the Sawed Off Shotgun in Gears of War 3. Oooh that makes me think. A knife throwing grenade, or maybe just a Brute tomahawk. Similar to the Spike grenade from Halo 3, but works in a different fashion. I def don't want it to be too similar to the Tomahawk from Black Ops, so lets say the grenade is more easily thrown than the frag grenade, and flys and bounces everywhere, with a loong detonation time, but with a low blast radius, but not that powerful. Plus it won't stick to anyone, it'll just bounce off like a frag. Maybe the Explosives SU or TP (I can't remember which one it's in) can bring it up to the power of the Frag.

Oh don't worry. I once sent a piece of bacon through the sound barrier with a sonic potato cannon so I WILL GET THAT BACON. I'M 1% SURE OF IT.

I'm crediting www.xbox360achievements.org for this, and I'm directly quoting this article... http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-15251-Here-s-How-the-Xbox-One-Achievement-System-Works.html Here's How the Xbox One Achievement System Works Written Thursday, June 13, 2013 By Alan Pettit View author's profile There has been some trepidation in the achievement community about the Xbox One achievement system. When they announced some of the changes (timed achievements, cross-game achievements, community achievements, etc) many of us were worried they had completely ruined a beautiful thing. Then there was the Microsoft Store achievement for pre-ordering the console itself, which did not receive many praises either. However, while most people saw that as a bad thing, it actually gave me a glimmer of hope being worth zero Gamerscore. It's just a badge, showing something you did at that point, right? That's what normal achievements are as well, but with Gamerscore, it showed that you've "finished" the game once you unlocked them all. But can you ever truly finish something like Skyrim or Halo MP? Not really, and Microsoft has possibly found the perfect way to extend the lives of their games even further through the achievement system without completely annoying Gamerscore completionists. Major Nelson has posted an outline of how the new system will work. You can read the full articlehere, but I've bullet pointed the important stuff below. Only video games will award Gamerscore. Your Gamertag and all existing achievements/Gamerscore will carry over. There will be two separate types of achievements. The first type is what we have now, doing something in a video game to earn points. The second type is called a Challenge, and will be essentially serving as a badge only. Both types are still considered Achievements. Challenges can be time based, do not award Gamerscore, can be cross-game ("played Halo 5? Here's a free Halo 6 Challenge Achievement!"), and some can be unlocked as a community ("as a community, kick one billion chickens in the next Fable!"). Both types are cloud-powered, allowing free additional achievements if a developer chooses (no longer tied specifically to DLC), and developers can change an achievement if it is too easy or hard, or if they'd simply like people to explore that tiny island no one bothers going to at the bottom of the map. Developers can also run contests or polls for the community to create or vote on the next achievements added to a game. Consumers can now unlock digital artwork, new maps, unlockable characters, and temporary stat boosts via achievements. As well as sneak peek content, early access, or subscription extensions. This is not limited to games, video and music apps will have achievements. Better achievement tracking in games (progress toward collectibles, etc). Achievement feeds on the dashboard to show the newest achievements your friends have unlocked. Upcoming Challenges lists so you don't miss out on the timed stuff. So there you have it. Personally, I think they've nailed it. The only thing I would like cleared up now, is if there will be two separate entries on your Gamertag for each game with the two different types, or will each list be flooded with a bunch of zero Gamerscore achievements for all these Challenges? Hopefully the former, if only to make archiving them on our website easier! So does this ease your fears, or do you still think they're trying to fix something that ain't broke? Sound off below.

6 - 8, possibly even going to 9. If I haven't played awhile I switch to a lower sensitivity, maybe a 4 or 5 and slowly work back up to 8.

Oh okay. I don't think it would be released as DLC, but you never know with how 343 does things.

Je suis désolé, mais j'utilise un traducteur en ligne pour cette cause je ne parle pas français. De toute façon les tâches rébarbatives funérailles crâne je ne pense pas est disponible sur Xbox Live désolé. Au moins je pense que c'est ce que vous parlez. Je sais que ce n'était qu'une pré-commande traiter de Gamestop. Oh et parlez-vous anglais ?

There is like 4 years between Halo 3 and Halo 4, which is highly unexplored. At least not like in the books. It's supposed to explain how the UNSC picked up the pieces after Halo 3 and how the Spartan IVs and Spartan Ops came about. It does sound misleading by saying "explore the Human-Covenant war" but I'm sure it means the post-war clashes between the Covenant Remnant and UNSC AFTER Halo 3 and not before.

So if I have 12 profiles on my Xbox, only 10 of them can play my games?
