 		ok...again....what was the LOGICAL reason for bringing halo "3" into this? i truly don't think BUNNIES and a TREE would be a great start up for halo 3 announcement.....i like that we are thinking critically, but i would be heavily besmirtched if this whole campaign were for a new halo. i'm a halo nut just like the next nerd, but.....bunnies?....again, i say we play the waiting game.....me making this post here is more time than i thought i would give microsoft, but apperently i was wrong....lets just wait it out guys....there's a REASON patience is a virtue

 		We didn't think bees were anything video game-related, either, until we saw the Halo 2 trail, but I agree with you, Hova.

Halo Tree!

It's a halo tree! like halo three! except without the H.


That made my day Smile

Lets see here.
Elysium is the place where Heroes go in Greek mythology. Often times Hermes, (messager of the gods) would take those worthy when they died (though some got there naturally), to this 'heavenly place'. The Norse had a similar place. The alternative of this, was a dark, damp cave of torment under Hades.

It should be noted, that those in Elysium, are called the 'immortals' Because they are devoid of earthly pain and suffering and death (Thanks Pandora!)

Often times, they will drink from the river of Oblivion to be resurected back to the land of man. No one save for Odysseus, took the form of a man. (and even then, it was common)


*heads off to buy the Halo Novels after PSU game*

 		Origenxbox360.com has nothing to do with Bungie. Just read their latest Update.

"I got a lot of mail from folks about www.origenxbox360.com which as far as I can tell, is some kind of viral marketing thing, and maybe even an ilovebees style ARG. Thing is, that's all I know about it. I got the same info as you – six plums (that's what they look like to me) a stick man, an MSN Messenger icon and two rabbits. I think they might be hares. The only thing I've noticed is that if you switch between .org and .com, the image pops to the right a couple of pixels. I'm helping! And I swear, I really DON'T know what this is."

 		Erzengel, this was quoted just one page back in this very thread:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=185756#185756

I hereby trout you:

Please, people, I know there's lot of excitement and speculation here, but information is being covered in this thread. Take the extra minute or so to search specific, quotable phrases and URLs before posting what you believe to be new material.

Thank you.

 		Hi there. Just found out this is goin on. I was around a bit for ourcolony. I'm hoping this turns into a little more of a game than ourcolony did. That was mostly waiting

So is there anywhere I should go for the complete lowdown on what is up so far? I've read through most of this thread allready before posting. I think something is definatly up with how well the msn logo fits into the missing peice of apple.

 		I thought I remembered seeing something about MSN in another form. Sure enough here it is.

So I was at EA and guess what? I found out about features MS ISN'T telling anyone about just yet. Just for the sake of not getting in trouble with them I'm not posting this on the front page but I will here.

First feature: You know how Halo 2 has XML feeds of your stats, and how you can put them into certain XML readers? That idea wasn't just for Halo 2--it was more of a test of the XML/RSS feeds. Within the next year every game from Activision, EA, Microsoft, pretty much everybody will put stats into a unified RSS feed for each person's gamertag. These feeds will be read on Xbox 360, MSN Messenger, a RSS program, Windows Vista, or online at certain game sites (perhaps XE).

Second feature: MSN Messenger will be in 360--that is right, the 360 will have MSN Messenger, maybe not out of the box but it will have it. Rumor has it also Microsoft is working to get AOL to make a version of AIM for Xbox 360. So not only can you be playing games on 360, you can also talk to your buddies online in between sessions.

Third Feature: How will you type back to people on Messengers though? That part is easy--specially made Xbox 360 Keyboards and Mouse. The Keyboard and mouse will come in two flavors--wireless or USB. The Wireless ones will use the 360's special signals, and you basically would have to buy the combo, which should cost abou $50 total. the wired one may need a special keyboard, or you might be able to use your own keyboard and mouse.

Fourth Feature: Downloadable music service. MS is working on creating downloadable music service, and the service may actually prevent people from putting pirated MP3s on the system but it is unclear how they would do that.

The only LOGICAL reason is the latin text and the Rabits, hares, bunny's

bunny= Bungy ...

But the only reason why I thoght about a Halo connection (not Halo 3) is the latin text

 		I still think my original post is right. Microsoft releases the Xbox 360 in Japan first.

if you just decompile the .swf (the name of the .swf is "week-4_with_latin") you will find it right away, no zooming/squinting needed.

If they are releasing it here anytime soon (ie before the Nov projected release in North America) then they really really need to get their act together over here. I have seen no advertising other than for DOA 4 in a couple of Famitsu mags and that one building site in the Aoyama district with the 360 green ring logo (no name mind you) on the scaffolding. The Japanese press also hasn't yet mentioned Origen in any way. Mind you if it gets released here first and it doesn't have region coded software (yeah right!) I will be one very very happy boy.

How about that mini keyboard that attaches to the controller? I still think that device has potential.

And Yardarm, if it does come out there early, you can LMB, ya geezer. ;D
