ODST Fan Fiction / Re: My Story (Name needed)

« on: January 18, 2010, 16:10:14 »

Hornet416!  Dunder Muse is diggin' it.  Your tale is sure packed with action.  You seem to have a lot of main characters and that can get confusing at times.  I might suggest just focusing on a few of them.  It's been a while since I logged into the SGP so you already had 6 parts up by the time I saw it.  You have a great work ethic for writing, it's no wonder you're so prolific!

We are all having fun with this one!

Thanks Hornet.  Sure did.  Check out the ODST Fan Fiction section of this forum.  Read the Readme and get started with your own.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Part 4 posted.  More mystery, more space.

Glitcher's talking about this post by the Braino finding the dude who scored 12 million on Legendary Solo on Lost Platoon. His name's Dadiola.  I wonder if he'd be interested in joining the SGP?

I got Good Samaritan on my first run-through, but not all of the COMMs. Rookie tried to shoot.

 I think the reasoning is that without all of the COMM data the Rookie doesn't know that Vergil has merged with the Engineer.  When he reaches the same stage having heard all the COMMs he understands what the Engineer is trying to do.

Good work Imppa!

CG you crack me up.  Judged by it's nutritional content indeed.  For my part I would like to say that runes are evil even as all language is evil.  Language gives you the ability to put your thoughts in someone else's head.  As you read this you cannot help but to think of the way hairs tickle your nose as you inhale in my armpit.  See what I just did!  Evil!

Also, as Borges points out, mirrors are evil because they unnaturally duplicate people upon the earth.

There is another change with all logs.  When you locate Vergil in the control room the original has you raise your Sub-mg to blow him away and Dare talks you down.  If you have all the COMMs she raises her pistol and you gently push it down.  Then you whistle and he comes out.

So maybe the Pure Fan Service is a combination of the resolution to Sadie's story (what happened to her dad), your ability to strike back at Kinzler's croney, and the silent Rookie knowing more about the situation then the Oni operative.

Or maybe it's just that you whistle.  The Rookie does a Snakeyes routine through the whole game.

Slightly off-topic but I dislike it when they make the main character too blank a slate.  I understand that Master Chief is interesting because we don't see his face, but his voice has definite character.  The Rookie as proxy is in my opinion a waste of a good chance to characterize. 

I think this was most horribly applied in MechAssault 2, where the whiney lady only refers to you as "Mechwarrior," and you wordlessly hulk and glower in all the cutscenes while they react to emergencies and tell you what to do.  Instead of looking like an intimidating tabula rasa the character looks like a voiceless idiot lead around by minor characters.

SGP Task Force: 7 / Re: J Banner 7

« on: December 22, 2009, 13:21:40 »

So the two J Banners in Squidhenge are identical.  J-0's over the doors leading into the courtyard. 

That squashes my idea of the banners being scan points for the Oliphaunts as they go around town collecting garbage.  Maybe they signify the clearance codes for the different entry points the Jotun employees may use.  At work I have to badge into a turnstyle to get in the door, maybe these codes indicate which employees can go where. Probly not.  They are Asklon buildings and Jotun just builds the Oliphaunt, it doesn't run the trash services.  Vergil would. Or maybe Asklon owns the building and leases offices to Jotun.  Hmmm.

(Sigh) Maybe they just look cool...

Sorry I'm coming late to this thread.  I was OOT while it hit.  It looks like after crying wolf Ebiz finally got his Ghosts in the Graveyard.

So has anyone tried getting a plinth in the squidhenge and then animating the elites?  Sounds like a job for Recon Zilch!

Brilliant! I am up North so I can't test it out, but if this is legit you've made exploration so much easier in many levels.  Great job!!!

SGP Task Force: Black Ops / Re: SGP: Theories - Inaccessible Areas

« on: December 18, 2009, 23:49:47 »

This reminds me of the Secret Room on the Ark from Halo 3.  I wonder if it is another stage for a cutscene that was used and got stashed in an inaccessible area of a map for space issues.

I wondered if the numbers were representative of their positions in the alphabet (i.e. a=1, b=2 etc.)  When that Gherjsz-ed out on me I wondered if perhaps it still held true but with a Caesarian Cipher (ie. a=1 +1, b=2+1, etc.) so I made a program in Excel for checking out the Rotated permutations.  The classic Caesarian cypher is Rot-13 meaning you add 13 to each position's numerical value, effectively moving it halfway through the alphabet.  Spoiler:  I got Gherjsz down the pipe, but for the sake of thoroughness here are all the permutations.  I only went through Rot-25 because Rot-26 would start it over at Rot-0.
