>>6140454>>6140586>>6140458>>6140463>HALO 4, msft, 343 etcIt has been a while since a played it lol so forgive me if I remembered anything wrong, but I have the weirdest memory of Halo 4, if I remember it correctly, msft at the time was in full meltdown over aapl iphone, ipad success lol, I think if I remember correctly Halo 4 came out ~2012 ?? just as msft had shutdown Zune lol (remember Zune?) this was when msft was still in Ballmer mode before ValueAct and Nadella etc. So as I was playing Halo 4 in a mood of obligatory distaste, I was thinking about all this context, and the storyline cutscenes took on this new significance. You have these humans with clunky militaristic looking tech fighting against these advanced glassy, sleek polished aliens right? This is basically the aesthetic of Halo since inception. But amidst that backdrop of msft, intc and x86 vs aapl lol I kept thinking whenever PRINTED BLUE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT GIRL Cortana who is basically the Intel Inside logo crossed with the msft Word document paperclip assistant whenever Cortana had a rampancy emotional meltdown, becoming increasingly desperate and demented, this was basically the reaction of msft-intc-x86 to aapl success lol. Anyway, just a random memory reminiscence I retrieved from 2012 lol, it probably no longer makes any sense outside of that moment in time tee hee hee
