Came here to say the Greg Bear books are easily the best in the series, but they're more hard-core sci-fi where the rest are all military-based like the games. Someone who has never played the game could easily pick these up and enjoy them.

Nice! I've been a fan of this movie for years and had no idea dungbeatle had modeled it... might have to take a stab at it myself :)

I'm just happy my ADD never lets me get attached to any one thing for long. I'll be gung-ho for something for a few weeks at most, then some other shiny thing comes along and I lose interest. There's probably a life lesson in there somewhere... :D

Unfortunately no, I didn't even think about taking any.

I should probably update the thread. After hearing some horror stories on the RPF about heat guns, I ended up dropping the piece into a soup pot of boiling water. After about 2 minutes it was floppy, so I pulled it from the water to let it cool for about a minute before reshaping it. Worked like...

Anyone know if you can heat form cured Smoothcast 320 with a heat gun? I've done it plenty of times with Kydex, but I don't want to ruin the piece if I can help it.

Think again. It's completely up to the copyright owner as to how they wish to sue over their copyrights. They can be as lenient or as petty as they want to be.

Congrats, you lucky bastard :)

That's just because Bungie does everything in 7's - it goes all the way back to Marathon. Sort of like hidden Mickey at Disney World. They don't mean anything, they're just there :D

You still didn't answer my question though :) The part I'm curious about is this: I don't remember reading that anywhere. I don't doubt you, I just want to know where it came from. "From the books," as rvb put it, is pretty vague :) Also, Noble 6 wasn't part of Noble team before Reach - he was...

In the books, you would be correct. The only cannon is the games though, and they treat the S-III's like the next batch of S-II's. Edit: Rereading your post, that info doesn't jive with the books either. Where are you getting this from?

Are you trying to say they could or they couldn't? Your post says both right now ;) Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious they would both be able to wear it and be given a set if they had the opportunity. The mjolnir armor marks are just point designations, similar to when you upgrade your...

He's actually dead on: the chances of catastrophic loss of craft and crew during the first nine flights was a pucker-inducing 1 in 9. Later flights and safety improvements decreased this risk to 1 in 90. Given these numbers, NASA statistically had a only a six percent chance of completing 25...

Yeah, I really wish they had left the Spartan stuff to Nyland. I mentioned Greg Bear's Forerunner stuff because not only is his book great, but the way they made the break between his stuff and everyone else's seems like the best way to have multiple authors working in the same domain. I haven't...

:facepalm: I meant for the train wreck that is the overall continuity, not that specific book. In the books III's never worked with II's, only had the stealth armor, and were extremely young except for the two trainers. In Reach they're late 20's, have mjolnir, and are embedded with II's before...
