Thank you, John, for 11 years of unwavering love and support for Halo. To the community - you couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and determined advocate and representative. There are many reasons over the years that not everything ended up the way everyone wanted in the games, but I can assure it was *not* for lack of your internal advocacy and perseverance. And perhaps most admirably to me, you pushed uphill tirelessly, always with grace, patience, and positivity. Most people don't know what you did behind the scenes and never will. But you never did it for fame or recognition. Even beyond the insights and perspectives you provided across the development team, your hands-on efforts leading Infinite's sustain gameplay team (and H5 sustain prior that) resulted in so much player goodness. I didn't think the Falcon would ever see the light of day - but you and the team did it (and you never let that dream die!). You also applied that same passion and intention outwards in support of the community itself looking for opportunities to support and provide a platform for creators and voices. Coming from the Halo creator side yourself, you always went out of your way to try and lift others up. I'm really sad and angry that this 11-year chapter comes to a close like this. @Activision please hire this man to be a part of the future of Halo - you will not find someone more knowledgeable, hardworking, uplifting, or unabashedly in love with Halo than John.

Ok, I need to jump in and clarify a few things: Firstly: Unfortunately Remy misspoke in his video, I was not told I was blacklisted from the Campaign Evolved Sentinels because I was too honest during Halo Infinite testing, but rather I was told I wasn't invited to the Forerunners for Halo Infinite because I would be too honest about the game or something along those lines. Basically, my inference is that they knew my feedback would be critical about it so I wasn't invited. That's both my inference, and also what I've been told from sources that I know for a fact are 99.9% accurate. Now, I don't want people to infer from this that the Forerunners were just one big group of yes men who didn't push back on anything. Again, I know for a fact that is not the case, at least with some people in that group who I know. Please don't use this information as a tool to further beat those people with. Everyone I know in that group put in an excessive amount of work to steer the ship that was Halo Infinite through disaster after disaster, and the way many of them have been mislabelled in the years since is, honestly, frustrating as fuck. They don't deserve it. I will say, even though I've never been told this, I do presume that I wasn't invited to the Sentinels to give early feedback on Campaign Evolved for much the same reason, but that's just speculation and that's not what this post is about. Secondly: I've never been explicitly aware of any "blacklist", so to speak, but of course Rebs' recent report implies one did exist. However, I was always quite confused as to the inner workings of all this, because it was abundantly clear the studio didn't want to work with me on giving early feedback on games, however they were always extremely enthusiastic to work with me in other endeavours. I've said this a lot over the years, but the HCS team are a great example. They were always super down to get me involved with things at events, be it stage work, panels or even more recently judging the $10,000 short film contest at Halo Fest. I have several instances of the HCS team not just wanting to work with me, but going above and beyond to accommodate me in ways they had no obligation to. I won't name names, but there are several people on that team who I have infinite admiration for because of this. Then, there's the narrative team, who especially in recent times have also been extremely eager to work with me. This year alone, they cast me in the Waypoint Chronicles audiobook, then cast me again in Still Midnight, and even went as far as writing an entirely additional scene for my character because they loved the lines we sent over, and wanted a flashback prologue scene to open episode 3. Again, the same applies here - everyone I worked with on the narrative team was great, and I don't have a single bad thing to say about any of them. That's pretty much all I have to say on this, just wanted to clarify a few things and (finally, I've been waiting to do this for years), touch on the confusing dissonance I experienced being excluded from certain things, but enthusiastically involved in others, but it is what it is, we're about to entire an entirely different era for Halo so all this stuff is kinda redundant now. Activision are likely going to operate very differently in this regard to how 343/Halo Studios ever did, and we're just gonna have to wait and see how things go.

People begged for carry foward for nearly an entire year, and were completely ignored. Then they turn around and and do a skin filter on a battle royale thats just a shell of what it was 6 years ago. I think thats my breaking point.

WE Are playing Bo7 over MW4 Next year

Bungie says "we are not done with Destiny."

There are a few things that can happen to win back trust instantly - Where possible and where interests and desires align... Rehire laid off devs - Show some love and deference to the sunrise folks. possibly pull them into the huddle too - Test every release as much as you can

Macklemore: “it’s not about me, it’s about the palestinians” Ed: “Poor me”

Using Guys joke to soft launch this was so fucking good you laugh at that joke but when this scene starts you think “surely he’s not…” and he does

- reads from teleprompter - immediately starts with October 7th - still won’t call it a genocide - says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening - makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour - doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to - doesn’t encourage anyone to donate - won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering - won’t say free Palestine - only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about. Fuck him.

Double Stuf Oreos aren't double stuffed. A high school math teacher in Queensbury, New York had his class weigh 10 of each kind, then weigh the plain wafers separately and subtract them out. Double Stuf came in at 1.86 times the filling of a regular Oreo. Mega Stuf came in at 2.68. Nabisco said the recipe calls for double the creme and they weren't familiar with what happened in the classroom. Insider ran the same test later and got about the same number.

God bless Liam Mcintyre

You see how this looks right?

So Marathon needed PvE, social spaces, TDM and more content to keep people interested? Holy shit, Bungie. You already made this game. It was called DESTINY.
