Two feet tall and almost fifteen pounds, Dark Horse definitely didn’t cut any corners on this one.

$350 is way more than I’d be willing to pay, I’d rather 3D print one and finish and paint it myself for probably a tenth of the price, but it is a cool collector’s item

Oh that remote is not a bad idea, does it do mouse input via the circle d pad? Or is it keyboard only?

I didn’t realize Valve released SteamOS to be installed on other devices, that’s killer! I just threw mint on a 15 year old laptop a few weeks ago and VNC into it from my phone to control it as my streaming box.

The UE5 move had been telegraphed for a while from job postings, but I didn’t expect the rebrand.

Feeling cautiously optimistic, but I still think they have the major hurdle of working with Microsoft’s contractor policies.

Most continue being lightweight military sci-fi books, the original three by Nylund are probably the most hard-military the books get. The major exception being the Forerunner trilogy by Greg Bear, they are fantastic books, but a lot of people call them Halo’s Dune because they are true hard sci fi books.

For the most part, the books are in trilogies, and are typically self-contained, some of the newer books, especially Kelly’s, have started pulling threads from multiple series together.

If you’re looking to pick up where you left off, Contact Harvest and Cole Protocol are the next ones in release order.

No way they would allow people to switch on the fly, it’s gotta be its own queue.

It’s a cool feature for forgers and custom games, they showed off being able to make specific weapons third person, so I’m interested to see what creators do with it.

Every Halo book by Kelly becomes my new favorite Halo book. She does such a great job at pulling up old or obscure lore and building amazing stories with them. I’m super glad that 343 is continuing to work with her.

I loved the idea of this extension and used it for a few months, but ended up disabling it because it made YouTube take significantly longer to load a page on my daily laptop, which admittedly is pretty old.

Whooollllleee lot of spartan points for the exchange. The Halloween op doesn’t have anything Halloween themed except for the skull emblem kinda.

I have seen some speculation that the Champions operation might come with some remake of the breakout mode, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

“343 stopped pushing latest changes to the API a while ago, and things appearing now are usually much closer to release. The falcon is still listed and I believe it’ll release sometime, though yeah, I don’t know about the shotgun. It got removed from the API.”

Not as cool as the Nerf Needler imo

I’ll stick to my favorite of each of the original trilogy to keep this post from being a book.

CE: AotCR or Silent Carog, AotCR set the bar for levels which use every part of the Halo sandbox with big vehicle sections and tight corridors and Silent Cartog because I have so fond memories of playing the CE PC demo over and over again.

H2: Delta Halo for the same reasons as AotCR, plus ODSTs!

H3: The Covenant: AA wraith, Hornet Section, scorpion section, TWO Scarabs with so many ways to take them down. Awesome solo or in co-op.

This is going to be $20 at least

It feels like they’re doing the thing they did with H4 and H5 where they are testing features for the next game, such as late in H4 they had playlists which gave everyone thrusters and late in H5 they had playlists which got rid of a lot of the spartan abilities and just made it clamber and sprint only

Oh also MP and Operator helmets are new as well!

The only good thing to come out of the show was that marine that was super combined into mist, it was more lore accurate than the games or other media.

Two and a half years and multi-team is just now coming as an experimental mode. Jeez.

Exactly what I do with my ancient series 3, I have had no issues unless I forget my charger. I can go maybe 36 hours before a charge, closer to 30 if I do a few workouts.

That all being said, my fiancée and a friend both have series 3s that can’t even stay alive for 12 hours. I had my watch for a year longer than they did, so it’s not an age thing, I just think the batteries are very hit or miss.

After the disaster of the original CE Anniversary, I’m a bit wary about what we’re going to get if this actually releases. I think bringing the MCC over to PlayStation would have been a better move, personally.

I haven’t had boxed Mac and cheese in a while, usually Costco’s premade is a favorite at parties so I have also given up trying to make Mac and cheese myself.

Cracker Barrel and the Walmart brand equivalent have been my family’s favorite for the rare occasion where we make boxed Mac and cheese. I grew up with Kraft, but now it makes me feel sick for a while after. I tried the Cheetos one with some friends once when it was new, expecting it to be terrible, and it really upset our stomachs, I was also pretty grossed out at how neon orange it was.
