Remember Remember the 9th of November (Part 3)

SPOSpartan104

Remember Remember
The 9th of November
The covenant treason and plot
I know of reason
Why the gravemind led treason
Should ever be forgot

Of the apparition?
Gravemind, the beast
The most vile edition
2552 his slumber was ceased
The covenant, with erudition
From his sleep, released

For many years
He slept quite deep
And all of the flood wandered
Like wayward sheep
But with their tools so crude
The covenant did sweep
The contents of Delta
And broke his sleep

Arriving like a friend
To the heroes we knew
But a conniver was he
And away he flew
For he found a chariot
In the sky so high
Aimed at humans and covenant
His conquest was nigh

The questions were many
But the answers were too few
Cortana was captured and
Chief knew what he must do

Gravemind’s mistake was large
Due to a question unsought
About the unbreakable promises of John
And the vengeance t’will be wrought

But where was Cortana?
In the heart she did lie
Behind wave after wave
Of flood who would try
With the face of the grave
To sway the chief’s eye
But nothing would prevent
Him from reaching her si’e

The two reunited
Had a plan to succeed
But first must surmount
A treacherous path to be freed

To the sky they did rise
Into a place from the past
Completing 343’s goal
At last, at last

Fired too early
The ring would be destroyed
Red glows his eye
For Spark’s now annoyed

Friends were lost
Johnson, the crew
A race against time
Before the ring went kablew

In the end they had won
But at what cost?
Gravemind was gone
But they have been lost

I feel they do not mind
For together they will be
And remember what he said:
“Wake me, if you need me”

My submission for HBO’s I’m too poor for Noble Map Pack

SPOSpartan104

Here goes nothing (Enjoy 🙂 ):

Well you see there I was walking down this long metal corridor holding everything I owned and all of my monetary wealth in this large sack. After going down this winding path for a while I decided to take a random left. I took this left for a few reasons: I was bored of walking straight, there were explosions and alarms going off around me, and there were these weird brownish balloon shaped creatures skittering around the floors. I end up following this path for what feels like a mile until I come to this dead end. Great. But there was this weird creature about 4 feet tall and had this environment suit on that had a point about a foot above his head. He kept grunting and talking about this food nipple. Now I was feeling rather parched and famished so I made a deal with him. We would both meet outside the vessel about a 1.5 to 2 miles away. He offered to even take my bag for me as long as I paid for most of the food. I said yes and he agreed, well grunted a bit I think that was him agreeing. Anyway I leave the bag and begin running back the way I came.

When I get back to the main path this big cat like vehicle comes racing up. I take a risk and run to the other side of the path. I jump and land holding on to the passenger side of the car. There is this giant green man with a gold visor driving. I don’t know who taught him to drive but damn. HE HIT SO MANY OF THOSE BROWN THINGS! (I’ll skip a few boring parts) We get to the end of the drivable area and he begins running towards this ship. SHIT BE BLOWING UP EVERYWHERE. He gets to the ship, and DOESN’T WAIT for me, he just takes off. Good riddance, I still need to find that grunt.

I jump out of the bay window, and sprint towards this person I see in the distance, I think it’s that grunting thing. I get there and the DAMN CREATURE isn’t there, instead I see this sergeant and this tall alien like creature with backward knee-caps having a love in. What. The. Hell.

Next thing I know the vessel explodes and I never see that grunt again. I get knocked out and when I come to everyone and everything is gone. Now I’m floating through space on a random piece of land and have no idea where all my stuff is.

TL;DR: Got swindled by a grunting thing promising everlasting sustenance from a nipple of food, he takes my stuff, never returns it, disappears and a ship detonates sending me careening through space.

This is why you should select me for the noble map pack. What else do I have to do? I’ll just be floating over here, through space, alone.

Thanks,

Fred

Brothers to the end

Remember, Remember (part 2)

Remember Remember the 9th of November
The Covenant Treason and Plot
I know of no reason why the Covenant Treason
Should ever be forgot

But what of the Eli’e
I know his name was Thel ‘Vadam
and Arbiter was he

In 2552 with blades of blue
The prophets, they would see
Just what he could do

What started out
as an honour so high
Ended by watching
his brothers die, die, die

With vengeance he would fight
for all Sanghelli kind
after a brief meeting
with the flood’s Gravemind

A civil war he would lead
While the covenant divides
With Hunters Unggoy and Sanghelli
All Standing by his side

A Demon in his camp
Gravemind in their vision
The ark’s destruction
was a simple decision

The destruction of the ring
caused one to reminisce
but at the end of this track
was a jump they could not miss

The ship was split
The flood, ablaze
But what of the demon
Left floating in the craze

The memorial service began
the desert winds were breezy
for the death of this demon
Thel thought: “Were it so easy.”

SPOSpartan104

and this is where we stop pulling punches. I am just under halfway to my goal. Our Team is doing awesomely, but why only do awesome when we can DO BETTER!
Therefore I am willing to offer a few incentives.
I will randomly pick 2 donors to the charity to receive 1 of 2 codes for xbox live each
The 2 codes I have are:

Castle Crashers
AND
A NOBLE 6 AVATAR HELMET CODE

But wait There’s more!

If I can hit or come close to my goal I will do something drastic.
The Beard will go away:

Oh The HUMANITY

Do you have it in you to donate money to help children’s hospitals?

Do you think you can win a prize?

Do you think I’ll shave the beard?

Fragging Aliens for Charity

SPOSpartan104

Fellow Spartans,
I interrupt the (ir)regularly scheduled shenanigans to invite you to help me with a charitable cause. I have signed up for Extra Life.
Here’s a quote from their site ( http://www.hospitalshelpkids.org/ExtraLife/default.aspx ).

Welcome to Extra Life, an annual 24-hour video game marathon that raises money to help heal sick kids at your local children’s hospital. It’s never been this much fun to do this much good.
This year’s event begins at 8:00am in your local time zone on October 16th, 2010. Each of our participants is currently raising money by recruiting at least 4 sponsors to give $1.00 for each hour of the marathon (that’s $24.00 per sponsor).
I have signed up for a lofty goal of $1,170.00 for Boston’s Children Hospital :). A few friends will be joining myself and we will be marathon Halo for 24 hours. The current plan is a rush through on coop Normal through Halo Reach -> Halo 1 -> Halo 2 -> Halo 3. Reach and 3 will be 4 player coop and 1,2 will be 2 sets of 2 player coop. Our team will webcast the event and any ensuing shenanigans because I am sure Halo 3 will be a BSAngel surprise (Read as: team killing heaven) due to the exhaustion and caffeine taking over :P. I hope you will take your time, and open your wallets 😉 to a good cause.
