I'm enjoying the latest Mister Chief game.
The first mission gives a bad first impression, it's the same old Halo in some bland corridors while some silly aliens scream about. I was unsure if I should even bother playing anymore, but figured that I should at least get to the outside stuff they showed off prerelease.
There's an Oblivion/Fallout 3 moment where you walk out of the starting area, and then the game got a lot more interesting to me.
Zipping around with the hookshot and blowing up stuff real good is fun.

Whilst playing I had the stray thought that Mr.Halo was the first vTuber simp, in how he wants to hug and kiss all the virtual ladies.

Halo Infinite is probably in my top10 this year, maybe around 5 or 6?

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
Had a bit of whiplash in one bit of Spiderman. Spiderman fights some dudes in Asian monster masks, and then he takes one of the masks and says "I know who will know about these masks, Mr. Li!" and I'm like, are you seriously taking the Asian mask to the only Asian character and just assuming he'll know about it? And then Spiderman says "Mr. Li has an art history degree!" and I'm like, fair enough Spiderman.
Mr. Li recognizes the mask and can read the symbol carved on it, but then explicitly says that it's not because of his degree, it's because his father told him stories about Asian monsters when he was a kid. The art history degree was irrelevant, he was able to recognize the obscure Asian thing because he was Asian

Is the only Asian character in the game going to be part of the Asian monster gang?

How often do you get run submissions of source engine deathrun maps, trackmania RPG maps, or hl2 synergy jumping puzzle maps?

you actually do see a good deal of these, though they're usually in the form of a multi map showcase, which is something roblox players could also do

I don't look at marathon submission/rejection lists so I wouldn't know about that. My apologies if it sounded like I was trying to imply that nobody submits that stuff, I meant it as a question just asking if it's something you see often or if it's something you don't get a lot of submissions for or if they're submissions from the same people over and over.

Except the trackmania rpg maps. Do you seriously get steady trackmania rpg map submissions? If so, wow lol.

Idk why roblox obby runs don't get submitted but I can only assume it's some combination of people not expecting it to get in, people not wanting to keep focusing on the same level over and over and instead just shooting for high scores and moving on to any of the other hundreds of levels, and people who think the roblox client's content just might not be very marathon friendly.

It’s like that scene in Seinfeld, when Jerry asks a mailman if he knows of any good Chinese restaurants in the area, turns out the mailman is Asian and takes offense to that, but Jerry insists he only asked because he figured a mailman would know the neighbourhood pretty well !!

Oh hey, I found the smoke stacks where Peter('s clone?) (didn't?)die! That's neat, I bet the map is full of references like that. I read the comics as a kid but haven't really read any in like 20 years since so I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I'm not getting. I haven't recognized any of the landmarks I've taken pictures of so far.

I had the opposite experience. The first couple of missions had me thinking it was like an actual Halo game, then it slams you into a loving Far Cry map.

At least the open world gets a bit better after a bad first impression.

Yeah it's almost comical how much the multiplayer feels like the Halo I would beg to go over to my neighbors house and play and how the campaign is the entire polar opposite.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I figured Lake might eventually make it to Gamepass, it's the kind of chill normcore indie game that you'd play for a few hours but nobody besides me would actually want to buy.

That Analogue Pocket sure looks like a neat system. It's a shame that it, much like the ps5 and s-xbox is too expensive and also sold out forever.

They got absolutely hosed by the pandemic. First round of hardware had god-awful battery life, like literally wouldn't hold a charge in some cases, so now they have to deal with shipping a whole new set of batteries for them.
