Halo 3 Rumours Surface

Eurogamer has a run-down on the current bevy of Halo 3 rumours circulating the internets. Interesting stuff, if there is any truth to them. From the article: "We're told that Bungie is 'attempting to maintain an online co-operative component for the campaign supporting more than two players at once,' and that Halo 3 'will have a multiplayer mode which pits players against bots in scenarios that are directly connected to the story of the game.' They're aiming to support more than fifty players on Xbox Live for certain maps, too."

Worse still, are you one of those annoying fucks who likes to call US residents "merkins"?

Heh. Now *that's* funny. I'm going to have to use that myself. (Nearly busted my sides laughing when I looked up the word at dictionary.com...)

What I detest most about irony is how puerile and unnecessary it is. Regardless of why anyone tells you, saying something which you do not literally mean to say is duplicitous and pernicious. In fact the primary source of conflict between humans is miscommunication, caused largely by a failure on the part of those expressing themselves to say what they mean. I envision a happier world, where the subtler nuances of language are used not to make "witty" remarks, but rather to convey the intent of the speaker.

There is an internet, and it is not referred to as the "internets," nor the "intarweb." In fact, the definite article in the English language is spelled "the," and not "teh." While of course French is an inferior language, English has been debased to the point where we could learn a lesson from the Gauls and create an institution to preserve its sanctity. Misuse of language leads to immoral and aberrant behavior.

You may disagree with me, but please do so in a rational, coherent manner. I shall not tolerate any haphazard, "elite-speak" replies which would only serve to illustrate my point.

Sincerely,

Bush's statement on the matter

I hear there's rumors on the, uh, internets that we're going to have a new Haler. We'll blast it off the neck of the earth with our nucular weapons. Questions from the press...?

I thought those [does finger-quotes]"ernnoying ferks" called them Yankees. I call 'em merkins all the time. They're so adorable. Thank you all, and may God bless Merka.
