Halo Restrospective Part 4 (finale)

Goes through the lore and attempts to make a coherent timeline out of the various and disparate events chronicled throughout books, games, and comics.

I'm not really into all the filler material that has been injected into the franchise over the years in the course of milking it dry. But you know what? They manage to make it not sound like the absolute mess it is, so I give them credit for that.

The entire Halo saga, taken as a whole, is still not good, mind you. But if one is going to digest it, this is probably the way to go. No mention of dog shampoo at all.

I think the saga is fine (omitting Greg Bear's messy Cryptum). Yeah, some things have been changed through time, but ultimately nothing majorly conflicts to the point of incoherency.

I'm not really talking about inconsistencies, though there are plenty of those (not going to get into it; that discussion happened 2 years ago). My complaint is that most of the Halo lore outside of the core games is irrelevant fluff. Mentioning those events in the same breath as the events that actually matter waters down the narrative as a whole.

It's like if someone pieced together the entire Star Wars saga, lending equal weight to every novel, comic, game, and film. Even if the individual works were all equally good (ahem) and even if they all agreed with each other (ahem), the end result would still be an incoherent mess, because there are a bunch of little arcs, but no grand arc tying everything together.

Haha! Hey Korn! I was watching Dee's livestream, and you will be happy to know that Keyes does have his pipe

They all have mashed potato faces though.

They're cleaned up a little, sarges tashe is there and the lighting glitch is there in that scene too, I've got to T&R, been playing about and seeing what everything looks like.
First skull is incredibly easy to find and so were the to terminals I've found.

Wow. It has the source HLSL code for halo CE shaders.
Updated to sm3 that is.

Also some suspicious looking config files.

Input = {
    HideMouse = 1  
    SyncState = 1  
    UseJoy = 1  
    MouseSensIface = 0.100000
}

They sure are suspicious

Saber is a multi-platform engine.
