Buck and Dare die in Halo 3 ODST
Just want everyone to know, I called it first.
My theory on everything in gears of war 2 (spoilers)
Ok, so I've been thinking hard on a theory to explain everything that happens in gears, not just all derived from one thing, but a theory on what everything is in gears and why it happens, I collected all the collectables in the game as to get the full picture before i even started writing it, so here goes.
This is my theory, on everything:
Its all about imulsion. Everything is about imulsion. Why? Cos Imulsion is BAD. It is some sort mutagen and it should be avoided and not touched or played with.
Ok, from the begginning.
At the discovery of imulsion, Serans mined it and pumped it out of the ground like there was no tomorow, but if they were digging for imulsion, surely they would have found the locust? No, because Locust weren't there. The locust are humans. In various sources from the game, patients that suffer from rustlung typically suffer from raspy breathing, loss of hair/hair stopped growing and exponential growth in nails. All they need to do now is grow scales and theyll sound a helluva lot like what weve been fighting this whole time wouldnt they? Back before the pendulum wars, Imulsion miners would suffer from 'rust lung' and would suffer these symptops. Theyd be given antibiotics and let back out to carry on with what they were doing. Then they began mutating more and more till they became monsters.
Some were captured (the sires), some got away, those that got away escaped underground, away from those that were doing horrific things to their brethrin. Over the 60 years of the pendulum wars, the locust evolved and grew, they knew that what had happened to them had happened because of imulsion, and they had to stop imulsion from being overused. Sounds stupid, doesnt it? Well it would, until you consider the lambent. And the fact that the locust do NOT use imulsion for ANYTHING. We know rustlung only reappeared after the lightmass bombing, when imulsion fumes resulting from the explosion were inhaled, this is what mutates humans into locust. Well what are the lambent? The lambent are those exposed to LIQUID imulsion, as opposed to the fumes. These creatures were locust, but stronger, more violent and generally very aggressive, mainly because they had a tendency to explode. The locust saw the lambent and their destructive ways and shunned them, banished them from the rest of the world, knowing that if they were allowed to spread that they would mean the end for the locust and the humans. So the lambent went EVEN FURTHER DOWN. I think this because they attacked the nexus from below. And whats below the nexus? Imulsion, the lambent live under what we would call the 'sea level' for imulsion.
So the locust grew, they prospered, they evolved, they found indigienous life forms that had mutated and were able to be used as weapons (corpsers, brumaks, reavers, I believe the riftworm is a mutated rockworm). But why? Imulsion is bad, they need to stop it from being used, whose using it? Humans, will humans part with it peacefully? No. That is why they fight, they fight us to stop imulsion. Stop us from using imulsion. Baird said that he found locust... stuff saying that they fight on the surface to escape whats below. Which is the lambent.
That is my theory on the locust, they attacked humanity to stop the use of imulsion. Because all that imulsion has brought us is war and destruction. And the lambent show that the imulsion actuallly does cause war and violence. The lambent are locust directly mutated from imulsion and are now super powerful and extremely violent. The Sires are early locust that were studied by humanity. The Queen is (what i believe) to be something of the Wesker of gears of war. Rather then be mutated by the imulsion, it somehow worked with her body or some science fiction **** like that.
So thats what happened before gears. Now for what happened during Gears of War 2. The lightmass bombing killed most of the locust. They knew the lambent were going to return some day, but they were weak, they were desperate, they turned to the most viable way of getting large numbers quicker then you can. Conversion. They captured humans, and turned them into locust. This helped them grow, endure and prosper. They carried on with their war against humanity. The lightmass bomb had awaked a giant worm, but with their chants, the kantus (who are the converters) were able to tame it, use it to sink whole cities so that they could capture entire populations to convert. Things were going well. Then the Lambent attacked. They attacked the nexus from beneath, overwhelmed locust forces and were on the brink of wiping them out, so the Queen instigated the fail safe. If ever the locust were invaded by the lambent, they would flood the hollow by sinking Jacinto and wipe out the Lambent. But they couldnt sink Jacinto, because WE did. The locust didnt have time to evacuate, and the lambent werent in full force in the hollow. We flooded the hollow and killed the Locust, the only thing between usand the horrors of the lambent.
THAT, is what we have done.
I am fully aware that there is holes in this theory, and I tried to include just about everything in it, so if anyone would like to critisize/correct/add to it, please do, one person can't work everything out on there own, so corrections are not only accepted, but encouraged. Aslong as they are constructive ![]()
Carol66ae.
I logged onto gamespot today to see that i had a private message, which to me is a massive big deal since i never get pm's so when i do i get very excited.
So i opened this email from Carol66ae, named 'hi.. how's it going?'
The email goes like this:

Time to play a game of spam or not spam people =D
Spore: The new girlfriend game.
Ok, firstly, i want to say that i do not mean that spore is a game for girls, and not for boys. Also i do not mean it is a game that gets you girlfriends... or the game is your girlfriend. Just read.
Everyone remembers The Sims, a game where you control little people in a house. Everyone played it, it was a game. Lets look at that again. EVERYONE played it, which means girls played it. Which is rare for every other game ever. Until Sims 2 of course...
Now, what do i mean its a girlfriend game? Ok, youve recently got yourself a incredibly hot girl who is not into games at all, and finds them all geeky and stuff. Now, the idea was that you would just keep them in the dark about the fact your a super nerd for as long as possible. Or introduce them to The Sims. The same has happened with Spore. I done my research, 2 girls who find the whole concept of computers and the internet alien to them except msn and myspace play spore and are instantly addicted.
Now, with the release of spore, geeky boyfriends will be introducing their naive girlfriends to spore all across the globe, its cute creatures and graphics along with the ability to do anything they wanted (like make a pony in the case of mine >.>) apparently makes it the best technology to have existed since the Penis.
Red Vs Blue.
If you know what RvB is, then this is for you, if not, go to youtube, type in red vs blue episode one, then keep watching all hundred episodes of the first series, and then go to red vs blue.com and watch the first 12 episodes of red vs blue reconstruction, the 4 episodes of out of mind, and however many were in recovery one.
anyway, Yesterday at PAX, Roosterteeth announced the next stage of red vs blue.
As of episode 19 of rvb reconstruction, red vs blue will become an anime series.
for those of you that are stupid, machinima is extremely restricted to what happens in the game. So when a machinima wants to expand and make their machinima a sci fi epic (like what rvb is doing) then machinima is simply not going to cut it, they need to expand to newenviroments, as you can see from the shrt that was shown at PAX, which can be found on gametrailers.com. The link is on HBO.
many wont like such a radical change in the style of rvb. I am not one of those people, i am glad to see rvb expand its borders, and frankly, its probly just because of the clip they showed, but that 3 minute animation had more quotable lines in it then any other episode of rvb before it. almost every line of that short was quotable, and i was laughing... ALOT.
so, those of you who do watch red vs blue, what do you make of this change?
And in case i dont get to ay this later on... Ow.
WTF blog #3

WTF
WTF Blogs.
I was walking around today thinking to myself, i havent done an actual interesting blog in a long time, how could i make blogs more interesting... and i had a spark of inspiration!
I decided that im gonna start listing all the WTF moments that have happened in my life, this can range from anything from actual world events to TV shows to game endings, and yes, there WILL be spoilers. A WTF moment is a moment in my life where i just had to say.... WTF!!!
So im gonna try and do it weekly, but ill just end up doing them whenever i want and then slowly run out of things to write about...
anyway, My first WTF moment that im going to write about! Remember, these are in no particular order and will range in length from a single picture to maybe a video to a full blown reason why i said WTF
so, here goes!
WTF Moment #1
since this is my first WTF moment that i want to do, i wanted to do something everyone has an opinion on, so here it is
WTF!!!

Got resident evil 3 back
Foundz it at a friends house, im so bored, imma gonna try and complete it in one go, also i have to since i dont have a memory card >.>
anyway, yea, im playing resident evil 3 and writing a blog about me playing resident evil 3...
I broke into my first computer today :D
Nothing big... or fancy really... or particulary interesting really...
It was the computer at the library, where you have to sign in using your library card, but i didnt have one, and i was in a hurry, so what i did was alt tabbed out of it, but it kept coming back up, so i held alt tab, and then before the security screen came back up i ctrl esc'd the start menu, where i loaded up wordpad, then i alt tabbed into that, but it didnt come up, but the bottom bar did appear, so i clicked the desktop icon and the security screen dissapeared ![]()
like i said, its very simple and not even that good, but i bypassed the security and i was quite proud...
Dont judge me...

360,000 creatures... in two days.
there are 172800 seconds in two days, the article is correct, more then 2 creatures are being made per second, and those are just the ones uploaded.
i mean, this is ALOT, i like to think i helped create a few of these, but lets put this into perspective,
the Spectacled Eider, essentially, the brown duck, numbers at around 360,000 in population, and that is a species that has been around for thousands of years, and in two days, we overtook it.
now, heres what i thought would be scary, imagine if in the future, we gave people the abilility to create monsters in the same way as spore, but they became real after that.
imagine what that would be like
an extra 360,000 random species popping up all over the globe, most heavily armed, recreations of our sci fi fantasys, i think its safe to say the zerglings would have a field day (on the website, zergling numbers have racked up over 300 already)
Imagine pokemon walking down your street, quite nice actually, then imagine something like THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z_xKFkHf9M walking down your street.
this is where spore is heading, soon real pieces of clay will be moulded into abominations, and it will spell the end of the world 0.0
much love, BM
Half life 2's biggest failure.
FOX.... DIE!!!!!! Nah not really...
yes, i have returned, me and all my crazy have decided to start coming to glitchspot yet again.
i know these extended leaves of absence are becoming a habit, but its for the greater good!
i haz a job u c, and i will soon have enough money to get all the stuff i need, a new computer, xbox live... thats really about it...
so, gaming wise, how am i holding up
well, bought mgs4 on the day of release, even though i am seemingly lacking in a ps3... dont worry i had a plan
my friend then came over, paid for half the game.... AND GAVE ME HIS HALO 3 LEGENDARY EDITION SPARTAN HELMET GUYS!!!
ok, then
i played
mgs4
for
24 hours straight
on thursday night
at 9:00
we began,
then at 9:00 the next night
the last cut scene began.
i didnt sleep, me and my friend did take turns, but still, i went hella long time.
for those of you that havent played mgs 4 yet, you know those shows they have, where its like, films to see before you die, well mgs is a little like that, in the way it might as well be a movie, seeing how the rumor of a 90 minute cutscene are true, along with a 50 minute cutscene that involves everything from vampires to robots to cyborg ninjas (seriously, those things are common sights in mgs)
oh and i would turn g a y for Johnny Sasaki, i mean he is one beautiful man.
not to mention he has one fat ass sniper rifle!
so... see you guys on the forums ^^
So..Err... Yeahhhhh
Those of you who have been wondering where ive been for 2 weeks, you no need wonder whether i died of exhaustion anymore!
i didn't, AND I PASSED BUSINESS STUDIES
my house recently switched internet providers, they ****ed up, really bad. Thats why i havent been on for ages.
Did my drama exam a few days ago, a devised piece with me and my friend. The examiner liked it, but because of the fact it was BALLS anyway, i dont think i passed drama.
Oh, and if your all wondering what i chose about my game situation, i got GTA 4
now, heres the deal, GTA 4 is a great game, its fun, addictive, the characters lovable, and by far the best GTA to date (i have ALL the other GTA's) but the thing is, its not the best game ever. Its a strange game, and i think a casual addiction is what best describes how much i like it. When i play it, i cant put it down, i love it and every aspect of it, its an awesome game and i never want to put it down (longest solid playtime 9 hours 42 minutes FTW!!) but the thing is, when im not playing it, i dont feel the urge to play it.
When you get a new game, your always like WHY DO I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AND NOT PLAY MAH NOO GAME!!! With GTA, its not like that, i put it down and im like 'Ok' and then go write a blog about it. I dont know what it is, i always think of myself as a hardcore gamer, getting as much completed in the shortest amount of time and going hours on end with no other human contact, but GTA is my casual game, its my bit on the side, like cheating on all your other games with a much hotter, sexier game that you want to spend as much time as possible having sweet love with but when your not withit you dont really care.
so yea, thats my review of GTA 4, My casual drug.
see ya next time!
hour 61
Hour 41.
this is it, 2 oclock in the morning on the 24th of april.
this will mark hour 41 of me not sleeping.
i have been awake since tuesday morning, it is now thursday morning, and im a tad tired.
why, well ive been doing business coursework.
i am the human personification (i think thats the right word) of 'if you put your mind to it you can do anything'
you know whats keeping me awake, its not the energy drinks that ive been drinking, its not my strive to do well in my business studies, i looked at why i was doing this.
im doing it out of spite.
im prooving to my business teacher that a person can go two years without doing ANYTHING, then in the last week, get a pass, all the annoyed speeches, all the lectures on how we are going to fail, even today, when we had spent a whole night before doing work, he said he was going to withdraw us, i asked for an extra day of improvements and he said 'ill give you an extra day, but tomorrow morning your gonna come to me and be all like 'oh i need to go print stuff of' and 'oh but sir i havent finished'. I so wanna be wrong, i really really want to be wrong, i want you to come in tomorrow and shove my speech down my throat! but its not going to happen, cos you dont do any work'
well sir, here i am, shoving that ****ing speech down your ****ing throat! you gonna shove it down there so far your gonna be s***ing praise to us!
you look out mr stewart, theres a storm brewin.
A gaming decision.
Ok, due to the fact i have not had a new game since mass effect which was CHRISTMAS, i have decided that since i have not spent over £50 in the last month, i am going to buy a new game.
what has really made me want a new game is the fact that a new shop has opened in bedford, it is called Cex.
Now, everyone here, american or english, i want you to buy all you games from the Cex in bedford, why? Because if Cex closes because people like YOU aren't buying games from it, i will kill someone, most likely YOU. Why? Cex is an entertainment exchange shop. That means EVERYTHING is literlary half the price that it is in a my other local comercial retailer, Game. Guitar hero 3? Game: £75 with guitar, £45 without guitar, Cex: £55 with guitar', nuff sed, Halo 3, Game: £35, Cex: £16, Mass effect special edition, Game: £40, Cex £25. I think i made my point.
so, back to my decision, do i
A) not get a new game, wait till june and get xbox live, then halo wars and end war, but risk Cex going out of business.
B) Get guitar hero 3 now, then halo wars, then endwar for my birthday.
C) buy a bunch of really old games to keep me occupided then get Endwar and Xbox live, then halo wars for my bday...
D) get GTA 4 when it comes out straight away, then get halo wars for my bday, then wait another year for xbox live and endwar.
oh by the way, i only buy games that are really really really worth buying, due to the rarity i go out and buy a new one. And ive already made my decision that i WILL get endwar and halo wars.
Well, whadda we have here.

How to Rick Roll
Well, as most of you know, something known as 'Rick Rolling' someone has become something of a new internet fad, so i decided to make a guide on how to Rick Roll someone, but do it properly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3_n0B1EaOY
see.
.
.
.

.

.

You sirs, just got Rick Roll'd
But you see, that was a very bad sort of Rick Rolling, I mean, you were probably expecting it right? and even if you weren't, you probably weren't at all that excited about what I was going to say, well, now im going to tell you how to Rick Roll properly.
But, before we begin, just what is a 'Rick Roll'
The 'Rick Roll' was something that began, like most internet fads, on 4 chan It was first posted to a website called www.yougotrickrolled.com/ where if you do go to the site, the song Never going to give you up by Rick Astley starts playing (which honestly, i like) and you are bombarded with annoying pop ups saying the lyrics whenever you tried to exit it. This has grown into the youtube rick roll, a much easier and simpler way of Rick Rolling, where you simply tell someone that there is a video of something on youtube, post a youtube link, and then when it loads, it starts playing the video to this song.
Now that you all know what Rick Rolling is, lets start with what makes a good Rick Roll
1st Rule: Find the right video
now, this may sound like its not very important, but with this above video, its not very good. Now you're probably wondering, what makes a good Rick Roll video, well, firstly, a good Rick Roll video needs to be of good quality, which isnt hard to find really, but most importantly, it needs to start playing the song the second your computer opens the page. A good example of a bad Rick Roll video is the one i posted above, where it comes up with the words You've been Rick Roll'd before playing the song, this takes away the impact, as the victim doesnt have to hear the song and can simply close it as soon as the title comes up.
Here is my favourite Rick Roll video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RL_kS8-l3g
2nd Rule: Get the victim interested
its all well and good just posting something like THIS IS A FUNNY VIDEO HAHAHAHAHA and then the link, no ones gonna believe you then, but if you post something lots of people will be interested in, like say you on a halo forum, something like OMGLOLOLOL HALO 4 TRAILER LOLOLOL is a bit stupid, as no ones going to believe you, yet if you post, New bungie interview or something, people will be interested and take you more seriously and more people will click the link = MAOR RICK ROLL'D
3rd Rule: Make the victim excited
As you see above, you need to draw in interest of the victim, but this isnt enough, if someone is interested in something, theyll click on it, see its a Rick Roll and be like 'oh, i got Rick Roll'd' which isnt what we want in a good Rick Roll. A good Rick Roll makes the victim shout 'OH MY GOD THAT ****ING ****ER JUST RICK ROLL'D ME!!!!'. So what you need to do is say that the link your posting is of something really interesting. Again, an example of on a halo forum, to post something like 'Master Chief doing Kung Fu', as this would be really funny, and the person will be like 'this is gonna be hilarious... OH MY GOD THAT ****ING ****ER JUST RICK ROLL'D ME'
see my point?
the three key things about making a good Rick Roll, The Video, Make it interesting and Make the victim excited
now that you've read all this, you can go away safe in the knowledge i have WAY too much spare time >.>
