".not diamond blocks! That's Skeppy!" Skeppy's eyes shot open. That was, until he heard more of what Bad was saying. But their connection was still difficult to track. So whenever Bad was stuck in a Bad situation on his own he'd just have to ask for Skeppy to find him, and Skeppy would do everything in his power to do so, using the soulbond that consistently tugged in Bad's direction.Īnd now, Skeppy heard his name, loud and clear, in his head. When Bad spoke to a diamond, and spoke his name, Skeppy could hear him. And that was because diamonds were a sort of extra sense he had. See, there was a reason why he'd given Bad a diamond ring to carry around with, besides the symbolic meaning it held, of course. But that still didn't answer a single one of his questions as to what exactly had happened to Bad.īut it was now, even more weeks later, that Skeppy finally found an opportunity to sneak into whatever that island was. And Skeppy left the conversation with the information that Bad was #1, stuck on some weird matrix of an island, and #2, that they now apparently had an adopted child Bad, with no hesitation, made him the other father off. A wall that didn't let any signals through and weakened the connection they'd usually feel from their soulbond.Ī couple weeks later, after Skeppy already died at least twenty deaths over not knowing the whereabouts of his demon, Bad finally managed to call him. Skeppy couldn't reach Bad, barely felt him, like something placed an invisible wall between them. A vacation from the literal hell that had been dealing with a gigantic red egg that could control minds. He knew he went to scout out a place for a much needed vacation for the two of them. When Bad disappeared and communication had been cut off completely, Skeppy worried his head off about what unfortunate predicament his best friend had gotten himself into again. But it wasn't as if he had anything else to do, really. Once stuck in a diamond block, Skeppy could only exist in other diamond blocks until someone freed him. That being said - it did have drawbacks as well. He was pretty certain that Bad wasn't aware, but he was indeed capable of possessing diamond blocks and transferring his body and mind to them. Some of which, Skeppy'd always kept a secret. It also came with a bunch more abilities.

Was there a better way to handle this reveal? To answer that question, we have to go back to the other major sci-fi show about a guy who hides his face behind a helmet. In just one episode, Halo on Paramount+ takes that experience away from us. Sure, various Halo books and other supplemental materials showed us what lurked behind the mask, but it’s possible to play through the entire mainline video game franchise and never have to find out what Masterchief actually looks like.
That’s why the games never broke that rule even as the plot became increasingly more complicated. Gamers could project themselves onto Masterchief’s unseen face. Cutting out things like plot, three-dimensional characters, and even a face for their protagonist was a necessary evil.īut in the long term, it turned out to be a stroke of brilliance. When the first Halo game was in development, its creators were under immense pressure to make an Xbox game for a console that didn’t even exist. This was a choice made mostly by necessity. On the other hand, this totally misses the point of Masterchief in the first place.įrom the very beginning, Masterchief’s face has been shrouded in mystery. On the one hand, it kind of makes sense that the hero of Halo just looks like the random guy you see at the gym. Nothing against Pablo Schreiber (who, in case you were wondering, is indeed related to Liev Schreiber, his paternal half-brother) but never in a million years is this what I imagined Masterchief looks like.
