18:53] < Echowaffle8 > Hi Lancer. [18:54] < B1blancer2 > Hello [18:54] < B1blancer2 > God Damn Mongolians! [18:54] < Echowaffle8 > You might like these new Pelicans: http://www.halopedia.org/images/b/b4/H4_Pelican_Dropship.jpg  http://www.halopedia.org/images/f/fd/H4_Pelican_Gunship.jpg [18:54] < B1blancer2 > EPIC [18:54] < B1blancer2 > Cockpit looks like a Hind [18:54] == Sona|Away [~Sonasauru@bas1-ottawa09-2925289147.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #halo-fanon [18:54] == Sona|Away [~Sonasauru@bas1-ottawa09-2925289147.dsl.bell.ca] has quit [Changing host] [18:54] == Sona|Away [~Sonasauru@wikia/Sonasaurus] has joined #halo-fanon [18:54] == mode/ #halo-fanon [+v Sona|Away] by ChanServ [18:54] == Aeolus [~Sonasauru@wikia/Sonasaurus] has quit [Disconnected by services] [18:55] == Sona|Away has changed nick to Aeolus [18:55] * Brodie-001 slams his face into the desk repeatedly  [18:55] <+ Aeolus > ? [18:55] < B1blancer2 > ? [18:55] * Echowaffle8 cannot stop laughing [18:55] < Echowaffle8 > You and I are the only two who like the new Pelican... [18:55] <+ Aeolus > oh boy [18:55] < B1blancer2 > I love it [18:55] < B1blancer2 > Looks pretty cool [18:56] <+ Aeolus > because looks will protect you from getting shot in space :| [18:56] < Echowaffle8 > They've rounded off the back edge; on the old one, it was boxy. [18:56] <+ Aeolus > among other fuck-ups 343i did with designing the Pelican [18:56] <+ Aeolus > "Gentlemen, my name is the Halo 4 Pelican. Please, hold your applause. I am a sleek machine whose job is to ferry our brave UNSC soldiers to and from the battlefield across a number of hostile environments. Often, this involves spaceflight as well, but I get ahead of myself. In the years since you last saw me I... Felt the need to get a few upgrades. You know, spruce things up a bit. Well, Look at me now. I am a lean, mean, orbital transport and r [18:56] <+ Aeolus > e entry machine! When I go from orbit to surface, you will all have the pleasant view of my new outward and non retractable machine gun turrets and their seated operators burning up in the re entry heat, melting off and causing a structural instability to be exploited later. My dorsal autocannon is 50mm of sleek shooty goodness. Don't let its +5 degrees of elevation fool you, if anything attacks along a limited horizontal plane, I have it handled. [18:56] <+ Aeolus > And if you wanted to know, Yes, my pilot canopy is inspired by the Mil Mi-24 Hind. There won't be anymore of that "Pilot having access to the passenger compartment" nonsense anymore. Adding to my new charm is my excellent engine redesign. No longer will I have those sleek yet imposing fusion thrusters on large, flexible mounts for cruising through space and air as I wish. No, I received the full Harrier Jumpjet treatment; Making it even more impl [18:56] <+ Aeolus > ausible that I would be able to carry a 60 ton tank along with a quantity of infantry in my rear compartment. My engine air intakes are both frontal, large, and highly exposed. I want everyone, and I do mean everyone, to be able to see them. Be it dust, or birds, or covenant plasma, I will flaunt my four air intakes to the world. I don't even know what would happen to them on orbital reentry but it sounds spicy." [18:56] <+ Aeolus > oh yeah, boxiness will be the death of you, and not all these other unrealistic features 343i had the good sense to add, right? [18:56] < B1blancer2 > Man, you guys really hate 343i [18:56] <+ Aeolus > no, we really hate that they're a bunch of idiots [18:57] < Echowaffle8 > Boxiness wouldn't have been too good for fuel economy. [18:57] <+ Aeolus > I keep hoping they would do something right [18:57] < B1blancer2 > Even more than that City Wok guy hates Mongolians [18:57] <+ Aeolus > but they somehow manage to fuck up every time [18:57] < Echowaffle8 > And yes, I dislike 343i, but that Pelican is the only thing I like about what they've done. [18:57] < B1blancer2 > I like 343i [18:57] <+ Aeolus > did you not read all the unrealistic flaws with the Pelican? [18:57] <+ Aeolus > and this is one fuckup among many that they've made :| [18:57] < Echowaffle8 > No, it's a wall of text and it's hurting my eyes. [18:58] <+ Aeolus > figures 9.9 [18:58] < Echowaffle8 > Although I'd like to know when you wrote it. [18:58] <+ Aeolus > I didn't write it [18:58] < Echowaffle8 > O.O [18:58] < Brodie-001 > I still can't get over the Jackals... [18:58] <+ Aeolus > I copied it form a forum where someone pointed out all the flaws [18:58] <+ Aeolus > so read it and tell me again if you still like the Pelican [18:58] <+ |AR|  > B1blancer2 ; What have you against Mongolians? I'm of Mongol descent. [18:58] <+ Aeolus > if you do, it would only for the appearance [18:58] <+ Aeolus > which is still hideous in my opinion, but you have your own [18:58] < B1blancer2 > I don't have anything against them AR [18:59] < B1blancer2 > I'm just making a reference to South Park [18:59] < Echowaffle8 > Some things about the new Peli do have a certain amount of good sense to them though... [18:59] <+ Aeolus > whoever wrote that block of text pointed out a half dozen design flaws that would ensure it never makes it from space to the ground [18:59] <+ Aeolus > even if nothing shoots at it [18:59] < B1blancer2 > I like 343i for putting in Venezia [18:59] < B1blancer2 > Makes room for a nice big war [18:59] <+ Aeolus > you read that and then tell me again you like 343i's stupid Pelican [19:00] <+ Aeolus > that piece of shit is only good for display in a museum [19:00] <+ Aeolus > if you try to fly it you're asking to die [19:00] < B1blancer2 > so, could it be shot down by an F16? [19:00] <+ Aeolus > as we at Halo Fanon like to call it [19:00] <+ Aeolus > NCF! [19:00] <+ Aeolus > it doesn't even need to be shot down [19:00] <+ Aeolus > it'll burn up in reentry all by itself [19:00] < Echowaffle8 > Will it? [19:01] <+ Aeolus > :| [19:01] <+ Aeolus > read what I posted above [19:01] < B1blancer2 > Like it or not Sona, it's canon, so:http://www.blogcdn.com/www.urlesque.com/media/2010/06/backpain-1277406949.jpg [19:01] <+ Aeolus > no [19:01] <+ Aeolus > no, it's not [19:01] < Echowaffle8 > On the grief of my eyes, I will not read what you posted above. [19:01] <+ Aeolus > how can it be canon if it can't even be realistic? [19:02] < B1blancer2 > Alot of things in Halo are unrealistic and still canon [19:02] < B1blancer2 > Slipspace, for example [19:02] <+ Aeolus > :| [19:02] < Echowaffle8 > Or the no fall damage on Halo 3... [19:02] <+ Aeolus > okay, tell me how Slipspae is unrealistic [19:02] <+ Aeolus > you do take fall damage in Halo 3 [19:02] < Echowaffle8 > Do you? [19:03] <+ Aeolus > I would know because it's happened to me before [19:03] <+ Aeolus  > B1blancer2: go on, explain exactly what's unrealistic about Slipspace [19:03] < B1blancer2 > Slipspace is unrealistic because i'm fairly sure that tearing mini black holes in space is A. Near impossible and B. Would get you killed [19:04] <+ Aeolus > fairly sure? [19:04] * Brodie-001 pulls up a chair to watch the proceedings. [19:04] <+ Aeolus > have you read the article? [19:04] <+ Aeolus > http://www.halopedia.org/Slipstream_space [19:05] <+ Aeolus > you're not just randomly tearing a hole in space [19:05] <+ |AR|  > B1blancer2 ; It's known as theoretical physics. A field you have no experience in, and which Bungie has derived this concept from. [19:05] <+ Aeolus > you're, for lack of a better term, arranging the spatial dimensions [19:05] <+ Aeolus > so that space actually becomes shorter once you enter it [19:05] <+ Aeolus > there's no time in these dimensions [19:05] <+ Aeolus > but the shortening of space is how ships get around so quickly [19:06] <+ Aeolus > it's not speeding from one place to another [19:06] <+ Aeolus > it's actually moving outside the physical third dimension [19:06] < B1blancer2 > Ok, proved me wrong on that [19:06] < Echowaffle8 > Would that actually be possible? [19:06] <+ Aeolus > in theory [19:06] < Echowaffle8 > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEfLkDZpvP0 [19:06] < Brodie-001 > Doesn't it take weeks to travel within slipspace, though? I recall it saying that it would take a while to go from, say, Reach to Harvest. [19:06] <+ Aeolus > like I said [19:06] <+ Aeolus > the space is shortened [19:07] <+ Aeolus > there is no actual distance [19:07] <+ Aeolus > but that doesn't mean you "teleport" from once place to another [19:07] < B1blancer2 > Anyway, but back on topic, 343i Canon is still canon [19:07] <+ Aeolus > there is physical existance in the Slipstream space, it's just three-dimension physical beings can't move around in it the same way [19:07] == Athena32 [~Athena32@unaffiliated/the-warden/x-6217636] has joined #halo-fanon [19:07] == mode/ #halo-fanon [+v Athena32] by ChanServ [19:07] <+ Aeolus > no, I'm actually refusing to accept it as canon [19:07] <+ Aeolus > still on the basis that it's not even realistic [19:08] < Brodie-001 > What's the general consensus on 343's SPARTAN-IV's, then? [19:08] <+ Aeolus > still say it's stupid [19:08] < Echowaffle8 > Yes, this argument has not stopped since you were last here, Athena32... [19:08] <+ |AR| > Aeolus ; Would appreciate if you lot could flesh out a revised canon policy BEFORE the timed-bomb that is Halo 4 detonates. [19:08] < B1blancer2 > Not accepting it means disregarding Halo canon, which the administration frowns upon [19:08] < B1blancer2 > 343i are the rightful inheritors of canon, and therefore, it is canon [19:08] < Echowaffle8 > Lancer, these people ARE the administrators... [19:09] <+ Aeolus > "Oh, war's over. Millions dead, resources burnt out, low on money. I know, let's make a new Spartan project, ignoring the colonies that need help, the government that needs to be stabilized, among a million other things we shouldn't do!" [19:09] < B1blancer2 > I know [19:09] == Athena32 [~Athena32@unaffiliated/the-warden/x-6217636] has quit [Read error: No route to host] [19:09] <+ Aeolus > and yeah, revised canon policy needs to be done and soon [19:09] < B1blancer2 > So, would venezia be non canon? [19:09] < Brodie-001 > They had time for the Threes, but S-IV seems to be made a bit too quickly for my liking. [19:09] <+ Aeolus > there should even be a branch of the administration that deals with the "non-343i canon" [19:10] == Athena32 [~Athena32@unaffiliated/the-warden/x-6217636] has joined #halo-fanon [19:10] <+ |AR| > Aeolus ; If it happens while I'm still occupied with... work, you can assume I'm supporting it. [19:10] == mode/ #halo-fanon [+v Athena32] by ChanServ [19:10] <+ Aeolus > I think everyone supports it [19:10] <+ Aeolus > everyone with common sense, at least [19:10] < Echowaffle8 > Revising canon? [19:10] <+ Aeolus > lancer: we're not pulling a blanket over 343i [19:10] <+ |AR| > I believe Tony's ambivalent [19:10] <+ Aeolus > anything they create as realistic to Halo (and there aren't a lot) can still be canon [19:10] <+ Athena32 > we should probably do that [19:10] <+ Aeolus > well, Tony's one person [19:11] < Echowaffle8 > The Pelican would not be considered on the list of things that 343i created as realistic to Halo? [19:11] <+ Aeolus > you still haven't read that text I posted [19:11] <+ Aeolus > so I'm not even going to answer [19:11] < Echowaffle8 > I have read it. [19:11] < Echowaffle8 > Well, what about the Warthog? [19:11] <+ Aeolus > so why even ask? [19:11] < B1blancer2 > So what 343i stuff is canon? [19:11] <+ Aeolus > the realistic ones [19:11] < Brodie-001 > Hog's fine. [19:11] <+ Athena32 > officially, all of it [19:11] < B1blancer2 > Thank you Athena [19:12] <+ Aeolus > these guys are clearly bent on making a game that targets the gamers [19:12] <+ Aeolus > because they outnumber the intellectual Halo fans [19:12] <+ Aeolus > so they ignore realism in order to make more money [19:12] <+ Athena32 > IMHO, a new policy should allow users to choose what canon thry want to accept in their work, and whar thet don't [19:12] <+ Aeolus > it disgusts me [19:12] < Echowaffle8 > Sales > Realism I suppose. [19:12] <+ Athena32 > however, all bungie canon should remain compulsory [19:12] < Echowaffle8 > If you want realism, buy a simulator. [19:12] <+ Aeolus > it's one of the things that makes me lose faith in humanity [19:12] <+ Aeolus > what? [19:12] < Brodie-001 > Instant respawns and custom loadouts... [19:12] <+ Aeolus > what are you talking about? [19:12] < B1blancer2 > Catering to gamers = Sales = Money = Staying open and making profits [19:12] <+ |AR| > Athena32 ; I've mentioned it before. Make 343i canon optional, with the condition that, should it be accepted, it must be accepted in its entirety. [19:13] <+ Athena32 > potentially [19:13] <+ |AR| > Users should not be permitted to "pick and choose" [19:13] <+ Athena32 > in an ideal world, I'd wholly support thar [19:13] < Echowaffle8 > Why couldn't we pick and choose? [19:13] == Athena32 [~Athena32@unaffiliated/the-warden/x-6217636] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] [19:13] < B1blancer2 > Because the CABAL says so
