Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

I'll grant the self insertion fan fiction, but I've never read any of that.

I still think that's one of the dumbest things ever though.

I have been eating the same apple for 20 minutes. This thing is ****ing huge.

Exactly how huge?

Slightly smaller than a 9pin bowling ball. 😐 Legit.

Wow. Where'd you get an apple that big?

It was picked from an orchard here. Need to question the farmer about apple steroids.

When you learn how the farmer made an apple that big, please share the intel with me. I like apples. While we're discussing apples, I hate the ones at the school cafeterias. They always taste like crap.

So... I was walking around Barnes and Nobles today, and I happened upon a type of official bungie Halo Encyclopedia, which is in itself uninteresting, except for a very telling article I read on the abilities granted by the Spartan armor and the genetic modifications. In a nutshell, yeah the armor and mutations give them enhanced durability and strength and speed, but ultimately Spartans with the armor on max out at a speed of 20 miles per hour, reflexes of 3 times a normal human, and a top lifting strength of 2 tons.

So, what's that crashing noise you hear? 'tis the sound of like, every pro-Master Chief ever conceived on this forum simultaneously falling flat. No 60 ton tank lifting, no bullet timing reflexes, and no 60 MPH running speed. Hur hurr.

So really, the only thing Spartans have going for them that would make them even mid meta is the fact that there's been two canonical instances of them falling through the atmosphere and hitting the ground without being scathed.

IS SO COOL.

I can smell the salty tears. It gives me strength.

Humans can outperform all but the strength. 😐

Some can, I mean.

But they ran at 55 kph right after the mods without a suit, Halo is really making no sense recently.

Not far from where I live, an SUV mowed down three people today. I was going to a store when suddenly there's traffic. I was wondering what made it and then I saw the scene. Three guys, covered in blood with their faces down on the ground, not moving. This freaked me the heck out 'cause I thought they were dead. Apparently there was no SUV around which meant that it was a hit and run. I only know about the SUV because one of my friends's neighbors witnessed it and told her about it. This is all messed up.

I wish Liquid_Fire still posted here.

So uh...is a scorpion tank suddenly not 60+ tons anymore?

In all honesty, the whole "tank lifting" feat was declared game mechanics and tossed out the window once the ODST's and marines started flipping tanks as well, which they've been able to do since 2. It's just that there hasn't been any "for dummies" proof that could seal the deal.

So what about the Elephant tanks?

am now eating second smaller apple.

Yellow ball for scale is size of baseball. 😐 These apples are huge.
