The 9th of November

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.”

Thank you Bungie, Microsoft, 343 Industries, for giving us all the wonder that is Halo 🙂

(Part 1)

Big News Week: Reach, Bungie,Activision, Did I say Reach?

News item 1:

 Halo Reach Beta starts next monday, but the Friends and Family Beta Starts THIS WEEKEND, if you haven’t noticed from the insane amoutn of twitter traffic.

News Item 2:

Bungie and Activision enter into potentially Faustian Deal.  The Deal links the two for the next ten years, while this isn’t necessarily good/bad news, it is … interesting. We all know Halo is owned by Microsoft. That is not an issue. What is an issue are the shenanigans that happened with Infinity ward. Here’s hoping that Activision doesn’t use their sole bungie publisher power for evil. NOTE: Helping Bungie towards world domination does not constitute as evil.  Gamepro has an article showing some reactions to this news: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/215016/tell-us-how-you-really-feel-activision-bungie/ (featuring a tweet from yours truly:) )

News Item 3:

OMG HALO REACH…

News Item 4:

 Lastly I want to leave you with some people I am jealous of and must say are going in my book as micro heroes: http://gizmodo.com/5526334/halo-2-superfans-refuse-to-let-the-dream-die
Anyone who can keep Halo 2 online for that long with an original XBOX deserves Credit. I SALUTE YOU!

Exactly how I remember it 😛

We had some good times in such a great place
fighting for all of humanity through the depths of space.
We met with Friends, We met with foes
We fought on Live toes to toes.

Good bye Halo2 on Live you will be missed. Here’s hoping someone sets up a way to continue the halo 2 online fight another way:)

Now who wants to get some Halo2 Lan going soon? 😉
