It was called WHAT!?!

[MasterSqueak]

Yes, it was a joke. I know Halo is the name of the big killy death star rings. But MC himself, you must admit, is not very holy

Not to mention, it has caused some confusion for me. Master Chief is a rank in the current US Navy. The Chief is apparently a marine. The equivalent rank in the Marines is Gunnery Sergeant. As such, I have, on more than one occasion, wondered if our hero in Halo was a Marine or a Sailor.

He's not a marine. The SPARTAN II project falls under NavSpecWar.

(Naval Special Warfare)

So, he's like a SEAL or something? So, you're telling me, that Chief and whatever the fuck is in ODST are just a whole shitload of Navy SEALS in a project that the Marines would probably benefit more from?

The ODST's are not related to the Spartan project. And how would the Marines benefit more?

Halo
Master chief, no matter however you spin it, is no saint.

Have you actually played Halo?

Did you bother to look and see I put this as a joke?

Worst name ever?
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!
Damn it, I spelt it wrong again.

How would one go about buying such a game?

"Yes hello there video game store guy, I'd like to buy *deep breah* AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! Yes, that's the one, thank you very much. Sorry about the long term hearing damage."

Final Fantasy...well it isn't exactly final is it as we're now on number what 14? i've lost count.

I always thought of it as it's a final fantasy for one of the characters, because a character almost always dies before the game is over.

Ribbit King

It was a game about golfing w/ frogs.

Case and point...

Wow, does that really exist? Cool...

Does the story for this game start out "Once, in a hot summer afternoon" ?

Donkey Kong, how can an ape be a donkey?

The original developers were Japanese, and they were looking for an english translation for "stubborn ape." For stubborn, the word they found was donkey, and for ape they found kong. At least that's what I heard. It's still pretty dumb.

Close, he was supposed to be called "Monkey Kong" but they mistranslated the M to a D. At least that's what I heard.

Nope, Donkey was synonymous with stubborn, Kong was synonymous with gorilla/ape.

Nope first guy was right. They called him that because they wanted him to be stupid ape. King Kong was the ape part and Donkey was the stupid part as in english translation calling someone a donkey means there stubborn and stupid. The american publishers laughed at them however but the name stuck.

Super mario...i fail to see whats so super
the legend of zelda...good games but if it really was the legend of zelda, the plotline would be rather boring, locked in a tower, encased in magic...yeaah
need for speed....im probably the only one who thinks an addict made that game
fallout 3....how many more apocalypses will there be

Metroid

You don't see the Metroids for most of the game than they pop up scare you and... ...become Mooks for the rest of the game.

Yes, but they were the focal point around which the whole story revolved.

Not all the games.
