1. Trolls will always be well fed.

3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I was bored and was switching back and forth through some channels. I saw that an episode of Megas XLR (Cartoon Network) was on. The three main characters were cruiser through space in Megas, trying to avoid mines. They bumbed into one and got the crap blasted out of them. They turn Megas around to head home and find a ring-world. They land on the world and start searching for locals. One of the characters said that the world was probably built from an advanced race, and then she started making up other theories. She also said that there were evolutionary charts on several different types of creatures. The words Archive world and Library came up a few times. Is the show throwing in elements of Halo, or is it a big coincidence?

Note: I'm sorry if this doesn't belong in the Flood. It didn't seem extremely Halo related, other than the ring-world part.

I also think Megas XLR is a combined rip-off of both Halo and Battletech and Epic 40 000.

1. The Megas is from the 31st century

2. Has aliens trying to kill humanity is much the same pattern as the Covenant

3. Has... well Mechs, that are the size of Titans.

The show has "take advantage of stereo-type written all over it” the show is a market gimmick, it is evil - don't watch.
