“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Predators go for the weakest prey

Predators go for the weakest prey

Gentlemen, what do lions, wolves, cheetahs, tigers, and other large hunting animals have in common? There are many things, but one major common element, is that they try as much as possible to go for the weakest and easiest prey wherever possible. This helps them to...

Bungie jumped

For those of us who love HALO, the name, “Bungie Studios”, is one that we treat with great reverence. HALO fans – who make up a significant portion of this site’s readership – regard Bungie as the producers of the three greatest FPS games ever...
