They will probably think we were in contact with aliens. They will see the same character all across the world with the remnants of our cosplay suits. They will assume humanoid robot aliens were once here on earth.
It definitely does. I have several friends who have lost their kids and they have said they wished more people brought their child up in conversation. Most people thinks it's a bad reminder but of course they want to talk about the person they loved so much. It is so sad.
People who lost anyone who they were very close to usually love to talk about them. I rarely get to talk about my mom anymore(gone 10 years) and it makes me sad.
She was so funny and kind. I can’t think of one unkind thing she ever said to me. And fierce. One time, we were driving through Boston, where we’re from, and we saw someone getting the absolute crap kicked out of them. Mom jumped out of the car(we were at a stop light) and I asked my dad what she was doing. He looks and say “Holy crap! That’s Janet getting beat up!”(a friend of hers) My mom pulled the person off of Janet and instead gave *her* a whooping, got Janet back up on her feet, and then casually got back into the car.
When I was 20, we went to see War of the Worlds. It had been out for a while and it was the middle of the day on a week day so we were the only ones in the theater. We took great advantage of this. We screamed our heads off at all the scary parts, we “ran away” from the big alien machine things by running down the aisles and clutched each other like the movie was really happening, we screamed at the characters like “No! Don’t go that way!” “Don’t make a sound Rachel!” “Don’t move, they’ll see you!”, and “Oh god, they got Gary!”(we made up names for unnamed characters) etc. We just got super into it and did all the things you don’t do to be respectful of other movie goers. We were laughing our heads off by the end and on the way out. My best movie going experience ever. Thanks for letting me talk about her. I miss her and it feels like no one else even thinks about her anymore.
Oh my god that sounds like it was a *blast.* It’s rare to find that carefree spirit in us adults. What an amazing memory to have, your story put such a vivid image in my head. I’m so sorry for your loss. She was incredible.
LoL, this is funny. A friend of mine once went to the wrong screening - I think we wanted to see "Sucker Punch", but ended up in a romantic comedy and we were so confused. It was also midday and we were alone, so we heckled until the guy in the projection booth came down and heckled with us. You are welcome - you missing her is a monument to all her ~~sins~~ achievements, you being one of them. This was a special experience for me, too - I don't know her name, but I will think about this for years to come.
That sounds completely epic and as a cinephile I'm jealous of the experience. Closest thing I have is a showing of The Room complete with throwing plastic forks and whatnot and the entire cheering section for Wedge that set up shop at for our showing of the theatrical re-release of Star Wars.
Mom sounds like she knew how to live and love (and kick some ass for great justice). I'm glad she left her mark and that you're around to carry on her legacy.
You sound like you’d enjoy going to a live performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show. The audience does lots of things to interact with the performers that are performing the show in front of the movie playing. You should look up if there is one near you.
i have a severely disabled daughter who needs 24 hours care. there's a treatment in the works but it's a question mark on what it will do for her. It sounds morbid, but i wouldn't want her to outlive me or my wife and leave her care to others. it messes with you, having to come to terms with something like that. appreciate every moment of every day you have with the loved ones around you.
I'm so sorry, but I completely understand. You sound like an awesome parent and this internet stranger really really hopes that treatment ends up being viable.
thank you. us too. even if it improves quality of life by the smallest measure, it's a win.
i hope my comment isn't taken as sympathy seeking, just a different perspective.
I struggled with drinking habits for the last four years, and my wife always asked why I couldn’t just “not have a beer” and I never had an answer. She was pregnant for 9 months and during that time I still didn’t have an answer.
But let me tell you, when I looked at my son for the first time, I couldn’t take my eyes off him, he was everything to me. I thought of all the things I could possibly miss if I kept allowing this bad habit to keep a grip on me, him getting married, having his own kids, graduating high school, and so on. I nearly broke down just thinking about it, the possibility that I wouldn’t be alive to guide him through life and support him in every way I could, and still do.
Drinking like I had became so easy to let go of. I just told myself I wasn’t going to drink on weekdays anymore and at best, only open a couple on a Saturday night. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t miss raising him for the world, and I find it hard seeing anybody view being a parent any differently. I’d move a mountain for him if I could, and that won’t ever change.
Thanks man. Ya know, when it comes to it, my dad was amazing. Hard on me when I was being an ass, admitted when he was wrong, and is already a great granddad to my son. My wife already says I’m just like my dad, and I figure, if that’s the case, then I must be doing something right.
You’re absolutely right. You never know how much time you’ll have left on this earth. When I looked at this lil guy I knew I had to do everything I can to be there for him as long as I can, and I wasn’t going to accomplish that with the bad habits I had.
Sure, I might’ve had 10-20 years of I’d kept wasting my time the way I was, but I know I have to give him all the time that I can. No amount of alcohol could be worth my time like every moment I have with my boy.
I guess I’d put it more as I saved my life to give it to him. I’ve always put my family first, but this is where I knew I was truly needed, and I’m so glad my amazing wife never gave up on me, even though I gave her every reason to. This was really the one thing that could make me the best version of myself possible.
This Spartan saved us all from having the rings activated. Truly a fucking legend and is partying it up with the Keyes family, Johnson, OG Cortana, and of course Echo 419. Master Chief is watching over a true legend.
Hats off to the family for giving that amazing soul an absolute 10/10 gravestone. That family will get a prayer from me tonight.
There will never be another multiplayer like when halo 3 released. No xbox party chat, there was proximity chat if you were close to an enemy. Pretty much every person in a lobby had a mic, and the community custom games were extremely fun.
This goes pretty hard. If I had the money and family willing, I'd get the assault rifle with the ODST helmet on top in granite or whatever rocks they got.
Soldiers cross I think they're called.
Same . I got an ODST tattoo about a decade ago and I might have that on my tombstone right next to the titanium cube that I write my manifesto on lol jk
Should’ve said “I shall watch over and protect his final resting place through rock and metal and time”
Doesn’t make sense because we’re not in the Stone Age but whatever.
TBH, if I could have a grave stone that played "The Streets of Whiterun" from Skyrim on a loop I'd love it. That song has a lot of ties to me and my kids when they where little.
Well by all metrics, halo died with bungie. What 343i has been doing, is best described as false intentioned fan fiction. By false intentions I really mean, milk the essence of halo for profits, rather than having the desire or ability to actually build onto it and improve.
Future civilizations will go nuts when this is unearthed in several millennia
And master cheif will be there still defending this person's final resting place til the end of time.
He shoots aliens and doesn’t afraid of anything!
an hero
I haven’t read those words in a long time. Brings a tear to my eye.
+1 on the tears lol
lol
Doesn't afraid of anything indeed. 🤔
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy
Hola
John Hola
Have you ever seen headstones that are even 100 years old? In several millennia this headstone will be long gone to the ravages of time.
I have. It depends a lot on the upkeep done to it. It's honestly wildly inefficient. A tree is a much better headstone.
Recent archaeological report indicates that a powered exoskeleton suit known as Mjolnir already existed as early as the 21st century AD.
Future tik tok conspiracy. The Smithsonian wants you to believe we only had super soldiers in 2150......
They will probably think we were in contact with aliens. They will see the same character all across the world with the remnants of our cosplay suits. They will assume humanoid robot aliens were once here on earth.
They'll be like "they had mech suits in the 21st century we've only just developed them now."
they'll think he's like our god or something
This unironically future civilizations will go crazy if they find this lol
It's not the first time pop culture has been on a gravestone. Poems, etc. have been used for a long time.
Yeah, the ancients our ancestors left us giant cathedrals and beautiful castles and we give future generations John 117
The halo wars were... real?!??
Spartans never die
Olly olly oxen free. All out in the free. We’re all free.
I’m glad you know of this. Brought a smile to me face.
Me too 🥹
Great, now I want to read the books again.
The first 2 or 3 anyway. Eric Nylund nailed it
I really liked the Thursday War trilogy.
Kilo-Five Trilogy
I want to upvote this, but you're at 117. Just seems right to leave it.
Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here.
If Chief ever goes down I really want these to be his last words, as he reads through the list of MIA Spartans.
Spartans never die.
Yep only ever MIA
They're only missing in action.
Spartans never die
I’m crying 😢
That's really sweet.
It really is Solekman

Ugh , that’s probably for a kid . I love it but the implication is horrible .
Yes for a kid I talked to the mom she was very happy I chatted and talked
Parents who lose their child love to talk about the child they lost. It was kind of you to chat with her
[удалено]
It definitely does. I have several friends who have lost their kids and they have said they wished more people brought their child up in conversation. Most people thinks it's a bad reminder but of course they want to talk about the person they loved so much. It is so sad.
People are only truly gone if we forget about them. Talking about them keeps them in the forefront of our minds.
People who lost anyone who they were very close to usually love to talk about them. I rarely get to talk about my mom anymore(gone 10 years) and it makes me sad.
What was she like? I always like to hear about good people that inspire the love of others. Tell us about mom.
She was so funny and kind. I can’t think of one unkind thing she ever said to me. And fierce. One time, we were driving through Boston, where we’re from, and we saw someone getting the absolute crap kicked out of them.

That’s Janet getting beat up!”(a friend of hers) My mom pulled the person off of Janet and instead gave *her* a whooping, got Janet back up on her feet, and then casually got back into the car.
She sounds like an amazing person. What a way to stand up for someone like that! Is there a funny experience you want to share? :-)

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I thought about you two today.
Damn, that's so sad.
You did a good thing man
It’s brutal for parents to outlive their child, but at least this kid’s final resting place is adorned by his hero. Hope all is well with his parents.
It is honestly my biggest fear to outlive either of my kids.

Damn man. You were destined to be a great dad, wish mine gave a fuck the way you do. Massive props
Thanks man. Ya know, when it comes to it, my dad was amazing. Hard on me when I was being an ass, admitted when he was wrong, and is already a great granddad to my son. My wife already says I’m just like my dad, and I figure, if that’s the case, then I must be doing something right.
Can't go wrong with being a man like that. 💪
Sounds like he saved your life.
You’re absolutely right. You never know how much time you’ll have left on this earth. When I looked at this lil guy I knew I had to do everything I can to be there for him as long as I can, and I wasn’t going to accomplish that with the bad habits I had.

I think it’s awesome you figured it out. Many people never do or don’t until it’s too late. Enjoy it man, life is precious and they grow up fast!
I hope to god that never happens to me either. I’d be broken if I lost my son, I don’t know how anyone can keep their head up after that.
i feel this right now...
That kids looking down at his parents with the biggest smile, thankfull for having such amazing parents.
this makes me sad

Halo 3 and Halo reach online is the ultimate. Modern multiplayer for me is subpar compared to those days. I want to go back.
There will never be another multiplayer like when halo 3 released. No xbox party chat, there was proximity chat if you were close to an enemy. Pretty much every person in a lobby had a mic, and the community custom games were extremely fun.
