Consider this my entry, Mr. President.

I would not like to fight a Brute female on her period. Ew. Also, shwaggy shwaggy.

I would not like to face a Flood thingy. Especially if I had a chest cavity. Shwaggy shwaggy.

I would not like to fight Hunters. I'd poop myself.

Should I change my answer everyday? I don't know. I wouldn't like to be an Elite's dentist, I'll tell you that much.

I'd least like to face a Brute who has run out of bananas. Enter me into this wonderful contest! :)

It's a wonder that it took her this long to realize the contest is shit. Seriously, though, I'm sick of all this fuss over female gamers. Who gives a damn, save for the basement dwellers? They're just girls who play video games. Whoop-de-freaking-doo. Whoever's running the contest surely only wants to make money or get attention with attractive, half-naked (or fully naked) women who supposedly play video games.

As much as I dislike Faith, kudos to her for doing deeper research.

My God, you people are fucking assholes. Is there not an ounce of intelligence left among gamers? Shut the hell up with the fanboy crap - ALL of it. If you don't care about Halo, then you didn't have to read and comment on this story. It is, however, news to those of us who care. So, shut. The. Fuck. Up.

As for the fourth grenade from the Vidoc, Bungie explicitly stated on their site that the footage from the video was from several months ago. Many of the things seen in the video may have been changed or removed completely - including the fourth grenade. Joystiq really should've known this already.

That is the most disturbing thing I've seen since the burning Tickle Me Elmo. Which I saw five minutes ago. But this is still really, really disturbing.

I'm sorry, but there would be an extremely justifiable uproar if Microsoft charged for each 'quarter.' If I pay once for a game, in any format, I don't expect to have to pay anymore to keep playing it. It's atrocious, on par with the RIAA wanting to put anti-ripping technology in CDs. It's an infringement on the rights of the consumer. (If XBL offered two buying options - the arcade pay-to-play version and the pay-once version - then that would be fine. But then, no one would want the arcade one. Trust me.)

The arcade is dead. It had good points, it had bad points. Most of those good points are merely nostalgia, and nostalgia isn't worth unnecessarily raping your wallet for. Sorry. The idea is ludicrous.
