As if Halo didn't suck enough before, now they're trying to push Master Chef's "package" on us?

Wanna watch Halo in TRUE, no streaming-hiccup1080p? Watch it on Blu-ray with your PS3. LOL

This was simultaneously my favorite and least favorite. The Master chiefs voice is wrong and they dont act like very well trained soldiers, ignoring commands and such.
But the action was very cool. And the CG was prettiest so far.

Ignoring commands sounds just like most FPS that require teamwork.

Who the fuck thought it was agood idea to give a Spartan dreadlocks and a double chin? Seriously, the genetically modified super soldier who spends his entire life exerting himself killing aliens has a bunch of baby fat, what the fuck?! And come on, no way dreadlocks would fly under military regulation let alone fit in that damn helmet! And when the chief tells the lady it's a trap? Don't they have god damn radios? Geez. All these episodes have been barely thought out.

They're Spartans. Like Special Forces, they can have hair that isn't regulation. Yes they have radios. He just found out that it was a trap, too.

Especially considering these guys probably don't get to groom themselves all that often. His dreadlocks would end up just a sweaty, matted mess.

I really doubt exceptions like that would apply to soldiers who were kidnapped when they were six to be trained, I don't think they'd even want ot have dreadlocks even. But the chief found it was a trap before he flew in, flying into the hangar like that isn't what tipped him off. Ugh, it was so poorly thought out. Like when Kelly gets on the turret, and the shells FALL IN ZERO GRAVITY

His dreadlocks would become a sweaty, matted mess? Isn't that what dreadlocks are to begin with? Seems like it might be a natural evolution of keeping your hair in a helmet for years on end.
Also, aren't shells ejected from a machine gun with a little bit of force, meaning that especially in zero gravity they'd follow whatever trajectory they were on?

well theyd travel in a straight horizontal line then instead of arcing and then falling like they did.

No. Anyone with proper dreadlocks will tell you that they take a lot of maintenance to keep them looking good. You're thinking of crappy, lazy, hippie dreads, I'm referring to the real thing, what's used in the character design (or at least that's what I assume they're going for).
Also +1 to Wayne for zero-g physics.

I read : Microsoft is launching a Blu-ray addon peripheral for Xbox 360 February for less than $99 !

They've been having this rumor for about 2 years now. In the time that rumor started, we've had rumors that the ps3 would get two price drops, and a slim line version. Still waiting on that blu ray add on...? Really??? And yeah, thats way too cheap. 150 $ MINIMUM. More like 175.

I hope Bungie declares this pile of shit to be non canon. It didn't make any sense. I hate it.

It didn't make sense in Halo canon, dummy. The whole thing deserves a 'charlie foxtrot' stamped on it.

No Halo Legends for me. I RROD'd last week, outside of warranty. It's from launch day. Had a damn good run...

Same here, about time to sic the lawyers on them. They are not fixing the problem just postponing it, painfully until the three years is up and then they'll do a 360 and moonwalk away.

Zing
a Moonwalk is walking backwards, but looking like your moving forward.
So no they don't come back, they go backwards.

As long as you haven't registered your console on xbox.com yet, you can still submit it for repair for free, i did it earlier this year.

The other problem is I'm an ex-pirate. I unmodded my 360, threw out my burned games, and got GameFly, but I have no warranty sticker.

I tried so hard into liking this anime but, its just that it makes me cringe everytime i watch it.
Isn't Bones making their own version of it, and when?

I hope so. BONES made Eureka 7 one of my favorite anime's ever. Hopefully Halo Legends can get some of that magic.

I liked it to, but I was highly disappointed they didn't get the real voice for the MC. Guess he's to busy working on better things such as Reach, although the audio doe the episode would've taken less than a day :(

You dont need to see the others to get this one, they arent the same storyline.
To be honest, I am pretty unimpressed with these animes so far. The first one was decent, the second one was absolutely horrible, and this one was "meh."

Well I thought it was a fun episode but not as good as the previous ones. I really like the voices in Halo Legends!

I know nobody else notices this...and I'm sure it's not intentional...but in the first episode and this episode are the only two that show the humans...and in both episodes...the only black human is the first to die (sigh). I just had to say it to someone.

i dont even remember a black person in the first episode. Was there? The first guy to die was the one who crashed into an asteroid, he wasnt black, was he?

Yea, that's who i'm talking about..the guy who crashed...obviously i don't have the episode to refer to, but i'm 90% sure..if i had that wrong then nvm..but i'm pretty sure it was him.

Well, they are made by Japanese studios and I know a fair amount of Japanese racist against African Americans so I suppose it is possible that some of that is going on.
