Yeah, but Hugh. I think for three games now we’ve all really gotten excited about the way Bungie promotes Halo releases. The I<3Bees ARG, the high quality media blitz for H3. We were all just getting really revved up for another great publicity campaign and then MS pulls the plug. There’s definitely a little “aww shucks, there goes our fun” feeling against MS right now.

I think we’re well within our rights to be dissapointed that MS backed out of the announcement at the last second.

I’m well aware of the news, but I hardly think there’s anything to get up-in-arms about. Microsoft made a spur-of-the-moment decision to not reveal a game. It’s no fun, but it happens. So what? Halo is MS’s property and they’re well within their rights to use it in promotional materials.

Oh that looks nice. The dashboard is better with a theme.

I love the halo theme.

It’s like Microsoft is reading my mind….and then doing the exact oposite. Remember the spring (or summer?) update that was going to fix a bunch of stuff on the dashboard? Like, allow user controlled scrolling in item descriptions.

That update would have perfected the dashboard. Now they do the thing I wanted them not to. Change it. And the avatar? That’s a big-huge deal? If I wanted an avatar, I would have bought a Wii.

I don’t know. Do I sound like a “they were better when they were underground” jackass?
