Heeeeey, what happened to being nice guys?

Like I said before, if you look at your post, and it appears to be non-happy in any way, either delete, or just send it to this person in a PM.

Until we can all come upon some kind of divine situation where we all become happy and nice, how about we all direct every post towards me.

We seem to be incapable of talking with each other without getting upset or angry, so from now on no one talk to each other. That's right, we'll just sit here silently, and watch sunsets or something.

C'mon, I'm only 19 years old, why am I being delegated a parental role like this? Its just not fair.

If you continue on your current path, YOU'LL END UP LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

If you continue to flame, you won't have many friends when YOU'RE LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

Oh yeah Chris Farley.

My post was 100% sarcasm, trying to break the atmosphere.. You would understand if you saw Chris Farley perform that scene.

How cruel, you taunt me so!

On a side note, I decided to split Chapter 22 in half. This will let me finish up by the end of the week, so expect a chapter this weekend!

(It'll be a fair length, just not the behemoth it was once pegged to be.)

Edit:

Also, to taunt you all further, I shall throw out the fact that during the battle at Danrun, there's going to be quite a few uninvited guests showing up. Hmm, I wonder who they are?

And you should too learn something about sarcasm.

So Mr_Clark, you're about to give us new chapter in next weekend. Cool, i'll be waiting.
About uninvited guests. I have little idea who they might be, but cannot say it here. If i'm right, it would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?

See you soon people.

Hey Mr. Clark I'll mail you a free Indigo Prophecy game, if you PM me your information etc... My friend works at a Gamestop and I paid $15 for my current one.. Another$15 won't set me back anything. Especially for arguably one of the best writers on Bungie.net

I'm sure a lot of you have heard the mumblings about the supposed Halo 3 Script leak. Strangely enough I received quite a few PM's asking me various questions about it, which I thought was strange seeing as how it wasn't me that made this abhorred thing.

Anyways, at this time it's already been debunked by HBO, though I really can't see why anyone would believe it. Aside from the numerous spelling errors and glaring mistakes (Guilty Spark having a red light instead of blue), the thing just reaks of fanfiction.

A giant Halo Installation burrowed into the Earth? WTF? ONI somehow keeping it a secret for 500 years? The Office of Naval Intelligence is laughingly small these days. They have about as much intelligence power as CSIS (Canada's version of the CIA).

Wouldn't it be plausible to think that in some of the incredibly deep oceanic floors that persist on our planet, that the ring world would be jutting out just a tad? Plus how incredibly difficult and unstable the thing would be after 100,000 years, wherein the fact that the tectonic plates of Earth shift periodically, which would either cause cataclysmic earthquakes that would rip the surface of the planet apart, or at least destroy the Halo Installation.

That's not to mention the weird things the characters are saying.

The Master Chief talking about his Prophet-ass-kicking abilities?

The Arbiter telling people to 'Bring it' like he's some prepubescent infant trying to prove he's a badass?

Ugh, and since when did Gravemind become a simple poet? Sure the guy likes to use a rhyming scheme sometimes, but the weird stuff he says makes no sense. Its like he's an 18th century poet that says assinine idiocies.

Did anyone else that read it seem to wonder why the Prophet of Mercy was still alive? I seem to recall a point in the game where Gravemind announces over High Charity's intercom thing that Mercy was already taken, in direct contradiction to what the Prophet of Truth said earlier.

The garbage about the Forerunners just made me ill, because a lot of it made absolutely no sense, and for the average person playing the game, it'd just confuse the hell out of them. Bungie likes to stress that such in-depth looks into Halo are saved for the fans that care enough to go searching. They don't throw that kind of stuff in your face. There would have been more telling examples of the truth behind the Forerunners (which seem to be as mindless and stupid as the Covenant once were, making them dry and static characters) throughout the series, instead of just popping them in right at the final game of the trilogy,

The time-travel stuff made no sense, and wasn't fleshed out, especially with the re-emergence of the Forerunner ship near the end which I couldn't understand why it was in the same shape it was in 117,000 years ago or however long ago that first scene took place. The dual purpose of the Halo's made no sense. If they wanted to live forever, why not just continuously activate the Installations? Why the need of cultivating the Flood and and breeding them so that they survive? That just complicates things and makes it likely that they'll be killed before they can activate the Halo's again.

Probably the most telling reason why this thing is fake, is that the detailed 'cut scenes' would last for over ten minutes at certain times. Bungie has said plenty of times that they don't like long cut scenes, as they take the player out of the action for too long. This isn't Metal Gear Solid people, we don't need hour long cut scenes.

So, to answer some of your questions, particularily if anything in this faked script matches anything I'm planning, I'll answer with a heartily "NO!". I'd say my obvious disgust with the thing from above is enough indication to portray my view on the plotline.

Rest assured, I'm not introducing lame boring time-travel weird nonsense into this story.

Edit: It's alright Bromster, I bought a copy through ebgames website a week or so ago. I've just gotta wait for the darn thing to pass through Canadian Customs. That's very generous of you though.

Completly agree, not to mention that Shiska shot it down. The story had some... *cough* good points. But nothing that the Bungie writting team would every try to bring to the story.

I did have a sense that it was going along a similar line of my story, but then there were the Forerunners returning and blah blah blah... It was too overly done. A pretty good read for a fanfic, but nothing more.

I agree with all the points you've stated Mr_Clark, especially the fact that the story is too revealing. In my opinion Halo 3 will not contain any "real" facts about who the forerunners are; the bigger mystery of the Halo storyline. But what Halo 3 will bring is a clear means of stopping the flood and killing truth and perhaps what Gravemind is.

But not to get off topic...
Can't wait for the Next Installment Mr_C.

I personally am somewhat happy that you'll be splitting the chapter almost down the middle. I won't have that much time this weekend to read an 80-page chapter you psycho. Of course, that's not to say I wouldn't want to read one.


I liked your rant about the fake Halo 3 script, very amusing.

I didn't even bother reading the "Halo 3" script and after reading what you said about, it sounds like a -blam!- script, something that bungie wouldn't have thought of.

Can't wait.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

I know it's not, but dang, it would be a riot if that script was real...

Have any of you ever not had your wisdom teeth taken out? I realize its usually the reverse of the question that gets asked, but right now I'm looking for some other experiences.

I had a dental checkup maybe about a month and a half ago, and the dentist cheerily informed me that there was sufficient room in my gumline for my wisdom teeth to coexist with my other teeth, so that meant I wouldn't have to have them removed. He said there might be some mild discomfort, but that's about it.

Flash forward to right now, and I am currently in agonizing pain. Absolutely nothing I do can help ease the throbbing pain. Is this normal for those that have had their wisdom teeth come in, or does my dentist have a secret vendetta against me and wishes for me to experience such horrible pain?

Either way I'm downing a bunch of tylenol, even though aspirin crap usually makes me sick. I don't see this affecting the chapter, so no worries there.
