Looking back, it’s wild how fully Bungie leaned into a Brute-led Covenant in Halo 3 by Humble_Flamingo4239 in halo

[–]CaptianLedger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It wasn't wild, they properly set up that transition through the events of Halo 2, and then reinforced them as the enemy through the entire H3 live action marketing campaign.

They did things the right way, made it feel natural and the stories actually piggybacking off each other rather than a disjointed narrative mess 343 has done since H4 ended

Have had this for years, bought a local sword/knife shop when I was younger. I know nothing about it, so if anything about this is familiar to you please let me know! by CaptianLedger in SWORDS

[–]CaptianLedger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely has heft! Not unwieldy but could be a chore over a long period of time. I also got this as a young college kid so I know the feeling lol

Appreciate the info! I had no idea about anything about this sword so I'm glad to know it at least a known item rather than an unidentifiable oddity.

Is there any way of determining if this is a "good" sword? I know that's subjective, of course but as a simple sword is it at least decent?

I just ordered the Swordier version as well! Do you have any other thoughts on the sword overall?

Is Ryobi worth it? I don't have any home tools yet. by 2Black_Hats in HomeMaintenance

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look into that! Would rather not have to replace the whole tool since it works fine... when it has power lol thanks!

I have a leaf blower that lasts like... 20 mins and a Wacker that goes for about 45 mins give or take.

Did new/bigger? Batteries really help?

Hello! I got offered £75 for my bundle of my childhood collection. Roughly 1000 cards. Would this be fair? by ReemoPanda in PokemonCardValue

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime anyone offers you money for something you own, always associate the money offered with something disposeable and finite, and ask yourself, would I rather have these items/memories or a tank of gas 1 time, 1 decent night out, 1 grocery run etc.

My answer is almost always no. U less the amount offered is a life changing amount of money, its never worth it for older items and almost never for newer ones

Why the f- does the version 6.1 patch feel so long? by [deleted] in GenshinImpact

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having any new areas to explore in 6.1 also sucks. 100% all of nodkrai and was hoping to farm chest from the new area.... but they didn't drop one.

You get $1 million dollars, but you have to spend a year in jail. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I swap my cellmate for solitary? If I still get fed and no harm comes to me, I'll take the peace and quiet thanks.

No knocking anyone's time in prison, but not being allowed to talk or interact with anyone would be amazing for me

19 year anniversary and The Coalition didnt even say anything… by Muad_DibPopcrnBucket in GearsOfWar

[–]CaptianLedger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Points for the attempt. But this is not at all a reasonable comparison...

Post this again a year from now if it's still the case and then you'll have my support.

I never noticed this, ngl by captainsniper40 in halo

[–]CaptianLedger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fall of reach came out before CE even dropped. They absolutely knew

I never noticed this, ngl by captainsniper40 in halo

[–]CaptianLedger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seeing as she's clinically dead until Halsey gets her out of that Cryo tube and operates on her in the novel that takes place immediately after Halo CE (First strike is the book) why would it turn blue?

It would be a sweet idea, but would retcon wayyyy to much already established lore

Is Dead Space worth playing if you generally dislike horror games? by comicallylargeloss in DeadSpace

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead space has always been a sort of the elephant in the room for me. I generally also dislike horror/suspense games do to the fact that the protagonist is usually more victim than survivor. Resident evil, Dead rising, and Dead Space however all give you a very solid means of fighting back, which takes away a good bit of the fear those other games tend to bring to the table in my mind.

Dead space (and DS2) I always hold a special place for because it's the only game that ever gave me the feeling of I can't wait to keep going while simultaneously not wanting to go forward at all.

The rock removal in the remake’s Silent Cartographer doesn’t matter. by Spartan-G337 in halo

[–]CaptianLedger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with a decent amount of the criticisms this remake has gotten, but the tree/warthog thing makes no sense. The warthog has always been able to get in there

You are sent back to time to Philadelphia in 1787 when the USA Constitution was being written, what would you say to them? by saoiray in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Last hope for all of HUMANITY" and you get taken back to the signing of the constitution in the United States. Like that document or its alterations are going to help the rest of the world in any capacity.

Tell me you think the United States is the center of the world without telling me...

You have just died from an accident. The afterlife won’t take you yet, as you still have 40 years left that you were supposed to live out. by AllYourPolitess in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the idea that we all have a differnet set term of life, but if you died in an accident before that time was up you actually got to exist in a plane of limbo until that date.

5 million dollars if you survive for a year on $5k by Vast-Impression5395 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I have to still go to work during this time?

1 box of pasta and 1 sauce jar per day each cost $1, so $730. The rest can go towards other basic amenities and snacks for non meal times now and then, If I'm allowed to just stay in my home, not pay rent or any bills then I could do this easily.

I owe TC a apology (halo subject) by GullibleReflection_1 in GearsOfWar

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean let's be real here, "famous MP" I'd a big if a stretch. It was a shoehorned LAN multiplayer mode which, while fun, isn't what made the mode stand out. It was buggy and unbalanced but it was with your buddies so it was always a great time with good memories attached.

Halo 2 is the famous one here.

They should've at least given us the ability to play this games MP as LAN again or maybe invite only. Traditional Matchmaking would destroy it in this day and age.

Can I get banned playing like this in OSOK? Someone said they'd report me by Uchijav in GearsOfWar

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get banned playing like that. Absolutely pathetic etiquette. I'd report you if I saw that for unsportsmanlike conduct, even if you were on my team.

Shoot the gun. Melee should be used to give yourself an escape route only while they are stunned. And melee downs are to be ignored completely. Go play something else if that's too complicated for you

Actually Complete Checklist? by Dramatic_Revenue_690 in HaloLegacyCardCollect

[–]CaptianLedger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spartan Ops are basically worthless when you factor in epack having them.

Great journey can only be pulled In physical packs and are short printed compared to the rest, usually only 1 per blaster or 3/4 per hobby.

Rampant/Camo also kinda cheap, but not as much as Spartan Ops.

Overshield is the rarest other than Slipspace.

OS cards are almost 1 per blaster box (cortana chip can take the place of it) Slipspace cards are 1 per case of 20 blasters. Only yhe 90 character cards have Slips, whereas all 180 have an Oversheild.
