In Response To: Oh, wow... (SPARTAN-034)


: We're all entitled to our own opinions here, remember that. Also, I'm running
: on three hours of sleep right now after a sixteen hour ski trip. These are
: merely my first impressions as such.

: Holy God that was terrible. This writing style...it's so off . He tells us
: what happens, there is no narrative. "I went here. Then I went there.
: Then I talked to Cortana my glowing blue AI and she was lying to
: me." I was expecting something about the Forerunners we've read about
: in the Terminals, the enlightened, semi-divine beings that held the Mantle
: and fought off the Flood, the shepherds of our galaxy.

: What we get (thus far, I'll acknowledge. Things might pick up later) is a
: disjointed first person account of some bum who hangs out on the beach
: with a chimpanzee and the caveman from Land of the Lost.

: spoiler - highlight to read: {Fuck you Chaka!}

: Maybe it'll read better in the morning.
