You know, if you found yourself in this general area, I'd feel a little endangered. Never know when something could go wrong.

Random Inarticulate Screaming Here
What is there to say about the inglorious bastard son of some rich man? I suppose I could say something pretentious in the third person: that Gruntyking117 was blessed with a sharp wit, a beautifully sardonic sense of humor, and a general level of intelligence that suggests that he has the potential to be a genius, if he isn't one already.

Rather than that fluff, I provide you with little more than a warning: if you get to know me, the stranger I become. It is in my nature to drive things away with incessant, bizarre antics, usually of the ilk of black, surreal or disgusting humor, all the more punctuated by a sublime vocabulary.

Grunty's Halo Opinions
I'm a Mark V wearing jerk, because I love Halo: Combat Evolved moreso than any game in the series. I loathe the bland, banal story of the Master Chief, and instead find the depth of character in the Elites, especially the Arbiter, to be not only more nuanced, but better-told and more emotionally charging than the Master Chief's quest to kill him up some aliens and save his purple girlfriend.

I have no problem with the Sangheili, Unggoy, or the Lekgolo. I do not, however, enjoy the presence of the Jiralhanae, as I believe them to be a step down compared to the Elites. I also hate Kig-Yar, but that's probably because of my Grunty blood. The rest are irrelevant to me.

Judging by my Bungie.net statistics, I am a complete and utter Battle Rifle whore, with it accounting for about thirty percent of my kills in ranked and social. Funny thing is, if provided a Carbine, I'd choose it over the BR, but alas, it's rather uncommon.

I love the Needler with a passion, and always have, even when it was useless back in Halo 2.

My favorite Halo: Combat Evolved maps are Blood Gulch, Damnation, Hang 'Em High and especially Sidewinder. My favorite Halo 2 maps are Ivory Tower, Waterworks, Headlong, Turf, Ascension, Relic, and most importantly, Zanzibar. My favorite Halo 3 maps are Ghost Town, Sandtrap, The Pit, Guardian and Valhalla.

My least favorite maps are Chiron TL-34, Backwash, Epitaph, Isolation, Snowbound and Rat's Nest. Foundry's default settings are also pretty dreadful, but the fans have put to good use its canvas.
