god that armor would be uncomfortable if he got a stiffy >.>

if he's anything like the chief, that wont happen.

Lol...

Spartans don't get stiffies. End of line.

its true. because of the shit they did to them in the program sex drive GONE

IT IS TRUE.

I think that's part of the reason I like Spartans so much. I can keep my image of them as noble characters because they're not motivated by sex.

right? Although apparently Solid Snake could give a shit less about sex too, but I think that was only put in there so Phsycho Mantis' monologue could have some depth to it :P

LOL. I feel so dirty for enjoying John's physique (or what you see of it with the armor on, anyway).

i dunno, if i had cortana in my head all the time we'd have some trouble >.>

and i don't know enough about the cannon to know if spartan's are incapable of unfing or what have you

cortana from 1, 2, or 3? or, just her voice?

Spartans probably /cold/ but they wouldn't ever want to. a side effect of some of the stuff dr. haisley had done to them in the program killed thier sex drive.

Oh, is that what it was? I thought it was purposeful, not a side effect.

maybe it was purposeful. I need to read Fall of Reach again.

I need to steal my copy of Reach back from Tav so I can read it again.

speaking of are the books good?

i have the first one in the series but i could never get into it.. only read about a chapter before i gave up on it XD

the first was good the second, The Flood, was bullshit. I heard the others were good, but didnt read them.

i'm to lazy to walk over to my bookshelf and to lazy to google, was fall of reach the first one? XD

yeah it was.

i just realized something... we are fucking nerds XD

not a bad thing. never a bad thing ^.^

this is very true.

also since having played reach, and liking the story of it (even though i know the book and the game have some... differences) i might give the book another read. i like the idea of a planet wide invasion and all that

yeah. Reach [the game] wasn't /completely/ cannon, but whatev.

was quite a lot of fun regardless XD

Fall of Reach was excellent. The Flood, I could never really get though, being a weird re-telling of the first game. First Strike was really good, though. I lost my Ghosts of Onyx book after I had started reading it, sadly. :< Contact Harvest was pretty good, too. I liked what they did with Johnson in the story, although the ending was, well, yeeeaaahhhh..... X3 Cole Protocol, I have yet to pick up, as well as the collection of short stories, and I own both of those.

didja get the new forerunner book?

I totally would if I had the money. D: To me, the Forerunners are the most fascinating concept of the franchise, so when I first heard about it, I got REALLY excited for it. X3 It's definitely on my list of things to buy when I can afford it, lol.

yeah i think the $25 price tag is a bit high for what it is.

Eh, I'm just broke, lol. If I still had a steady income, I'd have bought it on day one. X3

From what I remember it's both. A biological side effect that suppresses their sex drive from the augmentation, but they're so duty-driven they probably wouldn't consider it anyways. All in all, it's more convenient for them not to have one.

as far as the cortana thing do you mean the way she looked graphically between the games?

yeah.

realisticly speaking she'd look the same regardless, that was more what i was thinking.. so i guess which ever graphical upgrade of her looks the best, since she'd technically look the same throughout all the games. since i doubt the chief had time to stop and update her virtual representation :P

well in one she had short hair and small tits and was more pink than purple. game 2 she got slightly longer hair and a bigger ass, and the titis got upped a size, to like bs or cs. by 3 she had DD tits, jawline cut hair, and spent alot of time flopping around asking for help. FANSERVICE.

hehe i know, fanservice not withstanding if you look at the story itself i don't think the chief would have time to stop and fiddle with that stuff, unless cortana decided to do that while she was in his head doing nothing :P

well yeah, cannon you just have to pick which one you think she kept looking like. I prefer Halo 1's cortana, actually. Her body matched her voice.

i dunno, with a voice like hers i wouldn't care which version was used for her body type. i'd just enjoy listening to her talk <3

granted if i was going to pick voices i'd want cortana to have K.T. Gray's voice (the chick that did Seras Victoria's voice in the english dub of hellsing) VERY sexy voice <3

:] They're not incapable, but they were given hormone suppressants and that sort of thing to kill the sex drive. So, I suppose they still have the gear, but no motivation or desire for it.

either the hormone treatment would have to be so severe that it burns out that part of the brain, or its constant, otherwise i'm sure the drive would come back :P

not when your closer to death than salvation it wouldn't :P sex would be the last thing on my mind, plasma burns being the first. but they were also jacked from thier parents so young that they never had the whole awkward girls are different thing. they were all just raised as soldiers.

you have to keep in mind i wasn't thinking he'd get a boner in the middle of a fire fight. i was more thinking about while he was walking from the locker room or somethin XD

WIN
