Your dad was five years older than mine then when you were born. I hope he's still holding up OK.

Apart from degenerating (but managed!) vision, my dad is hale and hearty for his age. It's basically a question, he says, of which kind of cancer gets him first. Honestly I expect him to hit 90 at least.

I know absolutely nothing about the Halo story, but I'm going to pull a sheet from the Metzen play pamphlet and guess CORRUPTION!!!. She probably was corrupted by stopping the great menace in the finale to one of the games and turned up in the following game in a corrupted form.

No fair, you cheated.

I think this game ends on a cliffhanger on what her actual justification for her actions are so presumably the reason no Halo 6 has been announced is nobody can figure out what the hell that reason is.

Real talk, kill all humans seems increasingly the ethically correct choice.

As far as I can tell the Battlefield games got worse with every addition to the series with only Reach bucking the trend.

I don't think my dad will hit 90 (his dad made it to 87 and his mom to 94) but he's doing OK except for the neuropathy which is why I can't leave him alone. His blood pressure, cholesterol, etc, are all great. He had colon cancer but beat it. But he can barely walk.

Those are the new Promethean weapons and they basically watched the Transformers films and decided to make weapons like that.

My guess is Kitana chose cyberfascism to keep the peace in the galaxy and will end wars by having the biggest guns, and might have some kinda revenge motive against humans for using AI as disposable servants.
Game ends on a cliffhanger tho so who knows.

This speedrun was pretty good and the pressure launch owned.

This level is neat played casually as it has multiple objectives you can tackle in any order and the intro captures the size a gigantic unimaginably vast station should be.

Shame its tedious to actually play due to boring layout, bad checkpointing, and burnout from earlier, more boring levels

I think 'Osiris' is the name of Locke's AI buddy, but considering Osiris never talks, it really seems like Osiris is his imaginary friend.
