Is it me, or is the skull "killing spree" icon in that pic almost an exact copy of the Halo skull icon?

@MGTrey, @R Planteer

Bah, Halo fanboy fail. That's what I get for trying to pull all that from memory while I'm at work. Lousy stupid Barracuda, blocking the Halo wiki. Been too long since I played through Halo: CE, I guess.

Maybe there's still time before Tuesday...

Yes, Reach and Earth both exist as very different planets in the Halo universe.

The original Halo facility was discovered because the USNC had instituted the Cole Protocol, which entailed ships making slipspace jumps to random coordinates when under threat of boarding by Covenant forces. The point of the Cole Protocol was to prevent the Covenant from discovering the location of Earth, either through accessing the ship's computers, or by following the ship through slipspace back to Earth.

Long after the attack on Reach, the USNC ship Pillar of Autumn came under attack by Covenant forces. As the battle turned south, Commander Keyes on board the PoA instituted the Cole Protocol. The random slipspace jump ended with the ship near the original Halo installation. Unthaw Master Chief, begin trilogy of games.

What? You asked.

Just when I had gotten used to the same four people woodenly performing the voice acting for every single NPC in Fallout 3. And Oblivion.

Commander Keyes, she's totally hot.

Oh, wait... who I *wouldn't* want to go one-on-one with? I guess the Arbiter, since he appears to be immortal, which would make a one-on-one fight sort of pointless.

I wish I could quit you guys.

Tell you what. You let me win this contest, and I'll give you my car. Straight up. I won't need it any more once I have this setup.. hell, I won't even need legs anymore.

Hello! I am being the entering man again! I will to be enjoying the TVHD systemization and BOX of 360X.

This site makes me feel, this site makes me feel like a natural womannnnn... I mean, man. A real manly man. Yeah, that's what I meant. Yep. You bet.

Did I mention yesterday that you guys are super sweet? Because you are. I totally mean that.
