In Response To: HBO don't fail me now! *sOT* (padraig08)


: ok, thought you guys would enjoy a little anecdote from earlier today.

: So, there's this girl... yeah I know most stories start this way, but
: whatever...

: Ahrem! So, there's this girl, right? and totally like cute and stuff, and
: we're in the same project team for something that isn't important to the
: story. So, we're talking about classes and other BS like that, and she was
: telling me about an assignment she had for a class where they had to
: design snowboard designs (the decals and such) based on themes. She said,
: "I got basic geometry and Halo, do you know anything about
: that?"

: CHA-CHING! YOU HEAR THAT MOM AND DAD, IT FINALLY HAPPENED! MY NERD KNOWLEDGE
: MIGHT ACTUALLY BE USUAL TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING! A GIRL EVEN! THAT I KNOW!

: (ok, ok deep breath)

: Alright, where was I? Oh, yes. So as I tried to hide the squeals of
: excitement, I said "Oh yea, I know a bit about that."

: So she showed me what she had so far, and for not really knowing anything
: about Halo, she had some good stuff. She had big lasers coming down from
: the sky from silver hexagons and an explosion. I told her I liked the
: lasers and stuff (could pass for glassing, really pretty glassing), then
: showed her some Forerunner designs and architecture, some plasma
: explosions (she really liked those, the splash and electric effects are
: boss), and some space scenes with planets and stars.

: I ended showing her the Forerunner key ship for reference, then realized I
: was wearing what I was wearing, unzipped my hoodie a little and showed her
: it was on my HBO shirt. She laughed and said "I did ask the right
: person."

: So, knowing about Halo and being a bit nerdy helped me connect with a girl,
: who doesn't really play video games. I couldn't have predicted that one.

: -Padraig

: P.S. She said her theme was "Halo" but she had to do generic and
: generalized designs over some copyrights. My question was, "If you
: can't break copyright, then why would they give you something as brand
: specific as Halo?"

: P.P.S. Also, apparently this is a part of some competition, where they could
: pick hers and make it into a snowboard for reals. then it would show up
: here as a "Look who ripped off Halo" thread. Ahh, the circle of
: life.

This is a nice story. :)
