Pillar of Autumn | DEADLOCK Aftershow #02-337

Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

Takes me back to when I saw the Halo Ring for the first time. Every now and then I'll have a dream that I'm on the ring, looking up into the sky and following its arc, wandering the forests. THIS SHIT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME MAN

Please do a whole playthrough. Fuck it make a game channel YouTube will watch it. Already have NLinc just expand it. I love jawny and pulse playing together. And the fact jawny is unfamiliar with Halo makes it better. Tbh I only beat 3 and never on legendary. I was a left 4 dead 2 guy. I got that and Xbox live when I was like 14 and barely played anything else. Halo 3 l4d2 GTA 4 and skate 2 and 3. I like 2 more cause the map feels more realistic and it has couch co op. Couch co op needs to be an option if it's a online multiplayer game I should be able to play it on the couch with up to 4 people on the game offline I grew up on the medal of honor PS2 multitap era. This is something I can truly say today kids won't understand and I hate that phrase but it's not like VHS tapes or CDs. First you need a good 4 player game 4 controllers a PS2 and 4 people willing to play 20 year+ bullshit with you but moh was cod before cod. Me and my friends planned whole weekends around it. I had the games my buddy had the PS2 and spot someone brought the snacks. Today's kids don't know split screens. Being accused of screen peaking was the biggest fight starter then

I wish I could watch this. I have CRAZY motion sickness watching first person shooter games. I swear that I was ok growing up and then I sat in the front row at Blair Witch and it’s been on since. I almost threw up watching my friend playing Burger King racing. I almost threw up during Transformers 2 in imax. It’s been a long time, thought maybe I’m fine. But watching this, by the time the marines turned on the boys, I thought I was going to pass out. I’ll have to listen to these from now on and enjoy it that way. 🤢

james is 100% right about every new halo player shooting the marines btw i remember playing CE with my older brother when i was little and we were stuck on the pillar of autumn for like 2 hours because we kept shooting captain keyes in the back of the head and trying to survive

Marathon train by day, Deadlock podcast by night! All day! · February 18, 2026

First off, I'm so proud of you guys for sharing your fitness journey and normalizing how non linear it can be. I was feeling kinda shitty about not being able to run for a few weeks due to snow but it was inspiring to hear what you are up to. Secondly, a full on lets play series would be so sick but honestly I can just listen to you guys chat and tell stories about random shit for hours.
