Halo: Reach "Birth of a Spartan" Live-Action Short

Psalmy

* Tense white guy on a bed. Looking at a chip. Is it a delicious chip?
* Oh noes! It's actually a car assembly line! Get off the assembly line, white guy! They will spray-paint your dome chrome!
* He seems very focused on not seeing the assembly arms.
* Awe, his family. Wait, I can't tell if he's missing them, or if he's happy to be out of their smothering hands, or if he doesn't recognize them. It's okay though, emoting is not necessary for spartan-hood.
* White guy has name. Hi carter -- um, I think your face is stuck.
* Wait, no, the look he has back on the assembly line bed definitely contains under-notes of soulful. Maybe it's a spiritual experience for some, having two giant drills approaching your head at non-specified points considering he can move freely. I thought this had something to do with making him a spartan physically, but now I'm thinking it's just a practical joke on the Spartan Program Docs' part. If it actually served a purpose you'd think they would want to be very specific on where those drills started boring. Also, the fact that they don't put him under adds weight to the practical joke theory, me thinks.
* Oo! Breaking orbit! I'm actually envious off this guy now.
* Carter: Nothing short of the power of g-force will manage to change my expression!
* Pretty sci-fi space shot, *o*
* Needles, ah! Fluids! Hoses in legs! When did that happen?! Sign reads: beware, stomach turning ahead.
* Beefy insta-legs! It's whats for dinner -- no, no wrong thing.
* Beefy insta-body! Side effects: muscle fiber bioluminescence, missing home, and the ability to blink for stone-faced white guys.
* Wait, everything is happening out of order! I don't understand, what's going on?!
* Music swells, guy stand in front of armor just right so the camera sees him in the armor, Halo's spartan armor: awesome. For everything else there's space MasterCard.

While the majority was creepy or confusing, that breaking orbit scene and the end really rocked my socks -- er, combat boots off. Which is bad, because then I could get shot in the toes, and not so many. Nevermind, I'll just take White guy's approach: >:|

Buy Halo! >:|
