Subject: Reading that last paragraph of See You Starside

It was absolutely enthralling, I am a literature guy myself and I have to say that was some beautifully crafted usage of words right there. I felt like F. Scott Fitzgerald hopped up out of his grave and sunk his boots into Urk's and started typing away. Extremely top shelf liquor poured out into the shot glasses of our minds. This is a pure shout out and Thank You to Urk, for Thanking Us, so well.

Picture it, so well-written and detailed in your mind, how the picture is sort of painted for you. It's like an Owl City song mixed with some imagery only found in Dante. Weird, yet, perfect:So, this isn't a goodbye. It isn't The End. Instead, it's the very beginning of a new journey that will stretch the limits of what we are capable of. Ancient engines are now rumbling deep within the heart of our studio, and their energy will power us through the upcoming darkness. Like all dark times ours will be broken first by a single strand of light - a tether reaching out to bind us all together again. One day, we will awaken in a wondrous new place and we will remember just what it was that drew us together at the beginning of it all. We will look up to the heavens, and find hope.

I agree. All in all, urk is probably one of the best amateur writers I have seen before. It's almost as if the spirit of Halo rests in him, pouring out into his writing with a brilliance matched by only a few. Urk, I commend you.

As a loyal fan, Bungie, I wish you well on all your endeavors and I hope you continue to make games for your fans.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

It was a really well written, emotional update.

Είμαι αυτός που θα σας φέρει τα κάτω, τώρα ακούμε, και να ακούσετε μόνο σε μένα. Οι θεοί είναι νεκροί, όπως θα πάρα πολύ. Ο Δίας, είναι νεκρός, καθώς, το όνομά μου είναι ο Εωσφόρος, το αστέρι το πρωί!

It made me rethink my whole life.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

Very clear written update but we must look foward to bungies future.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Yeah it was very entertaining to read. They worded it extremely well.

It is a welcomed change imo. I'm glad they are going in a different direction.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Well, they didn't hire Urk because of his kissing skills, that's one thing I know for DAMN sure.

urk did go to school for writing I believe.

...So I hit the brakes. I drove down to the local university, enrolled in their Mass Communications program, and pulled a full course load while I continued to work full time at the bank. I chose classes based on my interests, leaning hard into writing programs, enrolling in extracurricular fiction courses, doing whatever I could to explore my interest in creative writing and communications. The rest, as they saywell, actually it's not quite history just yet. There are plenty of blank pages to fill. Frantically.

Look, just talk to me. I'm sure we'll get along.

This literally made me shed a tear.

When we began to play Halo, we took an oath!
According to our station! All without exception!
On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the Seventh Column!
Even to our dying breath!
Those who would break this oath are heretics! Worthy of neither pity nor mercy!
We shall grind them into dust! Wipe them as excrement from our boots!
And continue our march to glorious salvation!

Not gonna lie - I shed a single manly tear.
Every part of it, especially the line about Halo now belonging to us was pretty damn powerful and well written.

only eat one small snack a week to save money on food and just have water toilet and lights to save money thats my plan

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I'm a lion in a world where everybody's content with being cats.

I look at my hands
And feel sad
'Cause the spaces between them
Are right where yours fit perfectly
