Hey all, today's gaming sunday video is pushed back to next week! Sorry!

"Fool, they ordered me to do it"

See? But this Arbiter was voiced by Keith David, so that means he’s the best.

So basically the Prophets wanted Thel'Vadam out of the way a long time ago, and his failure to protect Installation 04 was the excuse they needed to get rid of him.

The history of the Arbiters have always quite intrigued me within the Covenant Hierarchy. And I find it quite fitting that there secret purpose was to subtilty silence those who would question the Covenants false religion. :)

A video on one of the most awesome characters!

[PHILeeOPE]

I love the Dog thing at the end. Really funny.
Also, Justin, I really enjoy your channel when I just wanna chill out with some headphones and listen to some good nerdy lore.

I heavily enjoy the Halo videos. Any chance of a Warhammer Vid soon?
Keep up the good work, my man

Who wants arbie to come back in halo infinite and be awesome!

[samspeed]

Interesting. Very interesting.
This makes a lot of sense, and gives some insight into the political unrest between the Elites and Hierarchs within the Covenant before the Great Schism. Its a pretty effective way to deal with potential trouble makers.
This was a particularly enlightening video.

EckhartsLadder, I would like to ask you to look in Miranda Keye's foolish placement of Amber Clad in Halo 2 that allowed the Flood to attack and infect it and use it to jump into High Charity that was nearby the installation 05. The Covenant is also at fault for placing the heavily populated center too close to the installation that allowed the flood to simply jump into it. Quote Cortana when Johnson attempted to do what Miranda did, "Safe is always better than close." What would happen if Johnson ignored the advice and allowed flood in then the flood would use it to go to the portal and arrive at Earth.

I love the music in the background to all your videos. A lot of it came through on my feed one day. I'm glad I found your channel.

[ArK]

I wish there were more material about the Sangheili.

[zacimusprime]

I love the thumbnail for this video looks beautiful❤️😎

the outro makes me blow so much water out of my nose

I've devised three kinds of starfighters in Star Wars based on characters of the Aurebesh alphabet (Because calling fighters X-Wings, Y-Wings, and A-Wings actually makes no sense in a galaxy whose dominant alphabet isn't the Latin alphabet). Interestingly, they all feel like improvements upon the TIE fighter.

Aurek-Wing Snubfighters fulfill those roles of the TIE Fighter and the X-Wing, and indeed, would look something like a hybridization between the two. As the name suggests, from the sides or above or below, then the wings have the appearance of Aurek. The extended triangular tips of the character are at the front of the fighter, and are angled similarly to the wings of an X-Wing, though they're permanently positioned as such. The cockpit protrudes out from the front and has a full circular visual range. These were done to maximize visibility without compromising the offensive and defensive capabilities of the fighter. The starfighter has also been made more aerodynamic in shape for in-atmosphere flight. It also has a gunner in the back, who has full control over swiveling guns that can pivot at a full 180 degrees on the x-axis and the y-axis. Meanwhile the pilot has control over twin laser cannons at the front, though for the sake of not overwhelming the pilot, they are stationary. The pilot and gunner both enter the vehicle from their own respective cockpits. It also has a deflector shield mounted in the body.

The Grek-Wing 'Pursuer' has wings on either side that appear visually as the character Grek. These, despite being TIE, do have thrusters on them, meant to increase the one-directional velocity of the starfighter. Otherwise, it shares much the same design as the Aurek-Wing, though there is an additional ordnance launcher mounted on the bottom of the fighter, the missiles of-which could be switched out for other variants based on the mission at-hand.
[EDIT] I've also realized that this could also be potential to integrate a hyperdrive into the design.

The Xesh-Wing bears the appearance of the character Xesh. [In-Universe] Based on the TIE Defender, the Xesh-Wing is a one-man fighter with three Ion Engines--We don't even need to change the name TIE, because it can be Triple Ion Engine--with wings that can swivel around the fighter for the purposes of advanced maneuvers. It is meant to be the most maneuverable of the three, able to perform highly advanced three-dimensional maneuvers. It does, however, lack a gunner, instead relying on the pilot's guns and their skills at flying for defense.

A sweet VS video would be a Halo Guardian, against a Reaper from Mass Effect

[tomokokuroki]

Guess you can say co-opting the position of Arbiter was

[feildpres]

I would love to see you do a video on the The Banished from Halo Wars 2
Great Video as always
