'Halo: The Fallen' fan film is gorgeous, gory, grunty

Mar 12th 2012 2:20PM (Joystiq)
@ranhalt Yes, but my point is that there is only ever one Arbiter at a time. It'd be impossible to have multiple Arbiters on the same battle field. In the context of the main Halo FPS series, there is precisely one Arbiter. You're quite correct that he was called Thel 'Vadam, who to most Halo fans is who they think of when they hear the name "Arbiter."

You're going to get a lot of shit for this so I'll try to point it out nicely. The Arbiter is a specific character. There are not multiple Arbiters at once; They're Elites. Okay, geek moment over.

And yeah, this looks really cool. Very well done.

Anyone else think those shoulder pads look really... really... stupid?

Otherwise, it's a Master Chief ass Master Chief all right. Fall can't get here soon enough, 'cept the weather can wait in a corner. Don't F it up 343.

@Prince David Thank goodness I wasn't the only one to think this had something to do with the band Journey... So embarrassing...

Like the sweat of hours upon hours of Rock Band, Halo and Assassin's Creed... Which smells very different from regular sweat, believe me.

I own a Plymouth Neon and only drive when I absolutely cannot walk somewhere... so about once or twice a week.

"Hey man, thanks for sticking in the game even though the rest of your team quit out."

For the record, yes, I got my ass handed to me. What do you expect when it's 4 on 1?

Telltale devs caught juking Metacritic user reviews, studio stands behind them

Nov 18th 2011 4:49PM (Joystiq)
As I seem to have to ask every time a story about Metacritic's USER reviews comes up, who cares? The user scores are always out of whack. I assumed this was standard practice for all studios. It makes good business sense to boost your score and, as all reviewers say, every review is subjective anyway. I suppose, from the point of view of someone who worked on it, Jurassic Park IS a 10.

DDR-playing robot can't be a good sign

Jul 28th 2011 2:26AM (Joystiq)
This is just a total tangent, but does it ever weird you out that people make robots that look human? Wouldn't a robot with four pistons positioned right above the respective pads be a far more efficient design? Besides not having to worry about balancing on the two legs you're going to use for the actual game, you could also do the "double" notes that DDR throws at you, which I doubt this thing will ever be able to do.

Just a thought.

Activision registers domains for 'GoldenEye 007 Reloaded'

Jun 27th 2011 5:12PM (Joystiq)
Didn't they already re-make Goldeneye last year? Or are we just talking about a straight up HD port of the original with the same awful controls that, while revolutionary at the time, are not good by today's standards? Let it go, Activision. Make something, and I know this is difficult for you, new and good with the Bond license.
