Chapter 12

I hate that my computer's clock is a minute off from the countdown they use for the new RvB episodes. It makes it seem like I'm one minute closer than I actually am. Sometimes, a sponser account looks pretty tempting.

EDIT: And now that it has been seen, so much awesome and spoilers to talk about. 8)

If I do that, I'll end up watching all of Recovery One and attempting to finish Reconstruction, which will not bode well for my attempts at studying.

This makes me want to see the inside of the temple even more. Action packed episodes at Sandtrap make me hate that level a little less.

Man, I can't wait for Tex's reappearance since that'll mean I can get a Halo 3 icon set for her. It'll be a thing of beauty. And murder.

Want me to make a screencap?

Yeah, that will be nice. Although, I actually really like how a lot of the Halo 2 ones turned out for her. Something about the textures in that game make for interesting, more artistic icons. The lighting in Halo 3 is nice, but things tend to look almost plastic in comparison to Halo 2 stuff.

If you really want to.

I never got a chance to play Halo 2, so I'm more attached to Halo 3's graphics at the moment, which is why I want an icon set from that game for her. I love her current one, though, and man, it's pretty to look at. 8)

It's not like it takes much effort. I'll finish up what I'm watching now and then do it in a bit. Give me like 15 minutes, maybe.

You're welcome. ;D

...How the fuck don't I remember that? It's like a gruesome suicide shot.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Uh yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I was wondering.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, gonna have to watch it again tomorrow.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
That's pretty much all there is, just that one shot that opens the episode, and then on to the story again. But it comes across as especially shocking, what with the way the Recovery One episodes all open, with an image of a dead body for a few seconds, then black, then the title card. Usually the dead person is someone we have an obvious explanation for - Wyoming's grunts, North, then North and South both. But the last one being a representation of Epsilon's suicide is just... ouch.

Yeah, but if I couldn't remember that, then who knows wtf else I can't remember. Hence why I think I need to watch it again.

That last one is really depressing and makes me feel all kinds of sorry for the poor AI.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds reasonable enough. You've only seen it once, right?

It makes me feel so sorry for everyone involved. Epsilon, Alpha, and Wash as well. It's just awful. D:

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think I've seen Recovery One and Reconstruction once in its entirety, yeah.

Such a fucked up situation to be in. And then to be thrown in jail afterward.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
The first time I saw Reconstruction, I immediately watched it again. And then, like, three more times over the next several days. Let's just say I was impressed by it.

Maximum security, solitary isolation jail, as well, haha. I think Wash can handle it though. It must be annoying, but a little time alone is probably something he doesn't mind too much.

I have problems rewatching things, but I've been able to rewatch most of RvB except for Reconstruction because like I said, once it gets about halfway through, something comes up and I don't get a chance to finish it.

Yeah, he probably minded it as much as Church minded being alone in High Ground for 14 months. :p Still sucks that everyone else gets a new base and he gets thrown in jail, haha.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
That is a terrible, terrible shame. There is so much good stuff in there.

Yeah, it does. XD; Well, hopefully he'll be let out early on good behavior, given how helpful he's being to the Chairman right now.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Tomorrow's not looking good either now that I've talked to some people about plans. 8D;

Let us cross our fingers for the poor man. May he be lucky enough to have the opportunity to move in with Caboose! ;D

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not like you need to hurry.

Oh yes, I know he'd absolutely love that!

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
I know. Still, I want to set aside some time to actually watch it without any interruptions.

He and Caboose could work together to build a new friend and everything!

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
That would go splendidly, I'm sure. Epsilon and Donut would be glad to help, too, I bet! And the Meta! It would be like a party!

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Think we could get invited to it? :D I have a missle pod that could help their decor.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you can. I don't really want to be involved in a party with those guys, I'll let them have all the fun they want on their own. :D

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
What a party pooper. Think of all the fun we could have together. :c

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeah... see, I typically don't have fun when stuck with two Freelancers of varying levels of sanity, a suicidal AI, a moron, and... well, Donut's cool. ;D

My experience on Live makes me qualified for those kinds of situations!
