"H" Characters

  • HAL-2600: A parody of the fictional computer from the movie 2001 (only built from an old Intellivision system), this robot tries to help Adam with his reviews of space-themed games, but invariably ends up "killing" him instead (including trying to suffocate him and shooting him point-blank with a gun).
First Appearance: Episode No. 6095
Performed by: voice of X-Play segment producer Tim Jennings
  • "Hamlet": From a skit entitled Master Chief Theatre, the classic Shakespearean play is presented using Halo 3 footage, with a silver-armored Spartan portraying the titular character's ghost dad "King Hamlet" and an Elite as the evil uncle "Claudius" who is "boinking mother" "Gertrude". In the recreation of the play, Hamlet eventually slays his mother and uncle with an energy sword, then (right after a celebratory tea-bagging delivered to Claudius) kills himself with a grenade.

  • Hanzo and Musashi: A pair of ancient samurai who appear on the fictitious game show Samurai Shodown, hosted by Brock Nathensen.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Of the other characters in the book there is, likewise, little to say. The most endearing one is obviously the old Captain Maksim Maksimich, stolid, gruff, naively poetical, matter-of- fact, simple-hearted, and completely neurotic.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
