I don't know, I saw that mini interview with Frank earlier, and I just have zero hype. Cortana taking over Halsey's body and suiting up in Spartan IV armor to become the main villain doesn't really make sense, but Halsey's pretty old, so it lines up with the "ancient evil" teaser at least. And the new jetpack pygmy Hunters look cool, but the fact that the use stolen Spartan Laser tech is going to make them feel really cheap. Halo 2 jackal snipers all over again.

Also, I'm calling bullshit on Wahrer Machine's "Cyborg Sergeant Johnson" spoiler. That doesn't even make sense.

Well if you had the full Super Duper Limited Edition Original Soundtrack Dev Kit like all the cool kids
only me
got, then you'd know that the ominous Spanish chanting in the hidden bonus track He Who Knows What The Ladies Like, Reprise pretty much spells the whole Johnson thing out for you. It also came with a 77 minute-long podcast detailing some story decisions such as having Halsetana Mark IV hook up with Robo-Johnson to become an unstoppable war couple, Prometheans being blue based on what Game Fuel you pre-ordered, the flying orange Cryptum being a waterbed for the hung-over Didact who did too many zero-g keg stands with the Battlewagons, etc. Good to see Stinkles at least confirming this to the plebs who didn't get all this swag though.

"First look" @ Halo 4 Legendary logo via IGN

In the video they say the new skull is "Forerunner in nature"

They also mention Single Player and multiplayer videos coming tonight, mentioning a new war games MP mode.

I actually like it, looks animalistic to me, kind of reminds me of some of the older variants of homo sapiens skulls. Something tells me that (enemy character spoilers)
Didact might have a skull similar to this or something like that

Demoncarnotaur said:
Skull is clearly Forerunner, I don't think its any specific Forerunner. Also, I think the issue I have with it is that it just looks so human like that it loses a lot of its identity. If you saw that on a shirt your first thought wouldn't be Halo, it would be a funky human skull with knives. Maybe if it was a Forerunner skull in a Knight helmet it would better? I dunno. Still, I wanna see a better version of the logo before I judge it.


So, maybe the french will break the media embargo?

My first thought when the Promethean legendary logo came out: instead of using the Marathon Shield, just make a background out of the Promethean Knight's mask, which opens up in a pretty similar shape. That one should have been obvious!

I can record it and upload it to youtube in 720p, but I don't think I'll be able to stream. Though don't these go live on GameTrailer's website like an hour after the show airs anyway?

And of course, provide gifs while it is encoding/uploading. :p

I think so. Do they offer a download though or is it a stream on their site?

Reveal: "free blowjobs."

Over: Too up close. CQC should be removed from the game.

kyleJ: of course 343 couldn't promise anal; too busy modeling Seattle.

Letters: would be better on PC.

bob: Assassin Creed devs would have announced this months ago.

Stinkles: Keep expectations tempered, people.

Slightly Live: In light of this new information, we've added a new installment to the Summum Malum series about fellatio with rife speculation from a few of our most prestigious members.

Cyren: The site keeps crashing whenever I try and fill out the application form. Keep a close eye on your sites, guys. :\
i'll remove this one if it's in bad taste

Ghaleon: Dax stole my spot in line.

Heckfu: You just never know when pictures of yourself you forgot exist show up.

Over, v2: Can I trade in six blowjobs to get all the pre-order armors and no white text?

Kittens: Anyone else want to join in? I need 3 more people.

Unknown: *PMs frankie*

NobleGundam: im 12 years old and what is this

Wahrer Machine: I cannot enjoy blowjobs because I am a cat in glasses. I made porn music though!
That nobody'll ever listen to.

DeadNames: I didn't like the idea at first, but giving it second thought, blowjobs are an excellent idea.

no one would include me in any of their lists :(

You also never know when you're going to be partially in a photo of Heckfu that you had no idea was being taken, yet you still have a solid look away going.

It sucks even more on mobile GAF. Sucks even more when there are a ton of gifs.

I try to spare them, as I am a mobile GAF user.
Click to expand...

Lol I was mainly joking.

Although I've seriously seen people quote entire gif dumps, like 7 or so, and just say "lol" ro something like that.

That reminds me, there's a sweet Chrome (maybe Firefox) extension that does stuff for GAF like turn quoted images into URLs. A very handy tool.

So let's say GAF produces product A. Let's call them blowjobs. Let's say GAF can produce 50 max, and 0 B. Meanwhile we have product B (We'll call it salt.) Let's say GAF can produce 100 of this. ( You can use what ever unit of weight you want.) Meanwhile, 343 can produce 20 blowjobs and 60 salt. Give me two PPC graphs, who has the comparative advantage in what, and who has the overall advantage.

I was bored.

I choose to issue a super-low interest loan of HaloGAF salt to a small area in a developing nation...let's call it "Waypointalore" to improve the global blowjob economy.

You forgot to factor in the amount of Prometheans protein per salt but kudos.

By the way, seemingly stupid question, but are there any spoilers in the music beyond the titles themselves? For example, is Revival's chanting going to start saying COMPOSER COMPOSER SING ME A SONG, I WANT TO EXTERMINATE PROMETHEANS ALL NIGHT LONG or anything remotely revealing? Or will it stick to mostly ambiguous Gregorian chants?

Make it the human equivalent of the sword.

"Far evolved from the simple daggers of wars past, the SSK (Spartan Survival Knife) features a super-heated diamond edge, able to cut through all materials....." There, now it's canon.

Ship it.

We already have a combat knife.
And the human CQC power weapon is the Shotgun.

Hundred Waters remix is thematically spoilery but no specifics.
