Subject: History and Discovery Channel make me sick

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

We are about 3 days from "doomsday" and both History Channel and Discovery Channel all have apocalyptic-themed programing in their tubes all lined up. I understand it is too good of a broadcasting opportunity to just pass up, but all it will do is just needless scare people even more as he 21st rolls around. I'm also willing to bet that there will be little to no time dedicated to debunking the doomsday BS either.

Is anyone else a bit annoyed by this kind of stuff?

Who cares if I lie?

I'm not really annoyed - See I just keep scrolling past them like I would any other programming that would get on my nerves.

Also that "Doomsday Preppers" show is hysterical. It just further reassures me that I'm not a loony asshat.

I stopped watching those channels when History was no longer about "history" and Discovery was no longer about "discovery".

Are elites mammals?

OT: History Channel is always dodgy.

  • 12.18.2012 4:25 PM PDT

No I actually love the programming.

Other than the Sports channels. Discovery and history are my 2 most watched networks.

Of course they gonna know intercourse is by the time they hit 4th grade, they got the discovery channel don't they?

OT: Yeah the "History Channel" makes things up and labels it as history.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

None of those channels have broadcasted anything remotely educational for quite a while now.

Don't be surprised.

No, they're obviously dinosaurs.

It's just for ratings. Bear with it.

I'm not really shocked, I mean I saw it coming, but it is still fairly scummy in my opinion.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I was already annoyed with the History Channel because they haven't been showing historical for a long time.
I can't wait until it is over.

Halo CE- Amazing

Halo Reach- The Black Sheep of the bunch
Halo 4- Incredible

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

Are you joking? Those are literally the only two channels worth watching among this sea of monotonous, mindless bull crap out there. And if you actually watch any of these doomsday shows, they only explain what the fears actually are, how they could legitimately happen, and then give their (the experts') opinions on why it most likely won't.

I lost hope for History Channel a long time ago.

At least when it was the Hitler Channel, they still had some decent programming.... about history.

In History's case, we are talking about the channel were one of their biggest shows is about ancient aliens and how it IS right. Ever catch a Nostradamus show when they one pops up? Very little of it goes into disputing his stuff, it is mostly just "experts" circle jerking about how they are right.

If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friends.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

The only thing on the History Channel that I watched was when they would show a movie based on a historical event, like 300. Then after the movie they'd have an hour long thing talking about the actual battle of Thermopylae comparing it to the movie. It was usually pretty interesting.

The only things I watched on the Discovery Channel were Canada's Worst Driver, Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe and Mythbusters.

They'll debunk the theory as the clock strikes 12:00 on Saturday morning.
