  • New game engine, putting aside concerns of Epic exclusives and such, seems fine,

    but changing the name, it’s not to signify the game studio will focus on halo, 343’s name is based on the franchise; “New name, new philosophy”, it’s trying to distract from the past trying to say “under new management”, but in recent times companies have used this as smoke and mirrors, hiding that nothing has changed.

    I’ll believe new philosophy when a game comes out that isn’t trying to be destiny or cod and doesn’t have 50% of the game missing at launch because of mangled management that was fine shipping an incomplete game and never finishing it.



  • Not all flamethrowers throw napalm, as seen flamethrowers predate napalm. A flamethrower made to abate weeds is not nearly as powerful as a military grade one, but it still throws flame. So even if you can’t buy a fancy flamethrower that shoots out 20+ feet, you can have some fun with a little propane tank based weed abatement “flamethrower”. I wasn’t trying to kick up an argument on the technicalities of what is a flamethrower, but your arguments are the weakest thing to support your idea.


  • The first flamethrowers date to the 7th century. No they aren’t modern military flamethrowers but as with the description “commercial flamethrowers are generally blowtorches using gaseous fuels such as propane”. No they don’t have the same range or lethality but saying they cant both be flamethrowers is saying a BB doesn’t shoot projectiles because it’s not as the same projectiles and range of a military assault rifle.











  • Fair, that’s the part where I think a parent needs to have the will and authority to say no to their kid, but I understand that can be difficult. This may do some good but as I am sure some loopholes will form and it doesn’t forbid ads 100%, it wont stop Fast Food ads. Even if fast food wasn’t directly advertised, I believe there is more factors, like the availability of healthy options, many families don’t have the time or money to make good healthy meals. This law is a good thing, but I personally don’t see it as a huge win, just a patch that will be touted to solve problems it doesn’t address.
