Just found out via Kotaku: Major Nelson has announced that [url=http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/05/14/xbox-orignals-stubbs-the-zombi... the Zombie is an Xbox Original[/url] as of May 19th. Those who haven't nibbled their ways through Punchbowl, PA can download that zombie-controlling goodness direct to their hard drives for 1200 Microsoft points (~$15 USD). Cheap at twice the price!

Don't be a Commie pantywaist; get Stubbs any way you can!

I just picked up my Limited Edition. Well, let me correct that; I picked a Frankensteinian blend of the Limited Edition case and bonus disc, plus a substitute game disk from a plastic case. Out of three metal cases opened at the counter, only one had a bonus disc that wasn't scratched... and all had at least some scratching on the game disc, one to the point that it was certainly unreadable right out of the shrink-wrapping.

A big title for a small subject really, but it's a recurring thought I've had on and off for the past couple of years and I haven't seen mention of it elsewhere. So, to get it out of my head (and scavenge a last-minute opportunity before Halo 3's release to appear to be a seer of tru7h) I'll scribble it down here.

Why, specifically, do Covenant creatures refer to the Chief as "Demon" or "Devil"? What part of their dogma led to this? Was it the Prophets labelling Humanity's greatest defenders as unwholesome abominations?

Real photographs show Sol to be a "no trih xeem" zone.

It's unconfirmed for now (see the "rumour" category) but Pro-G is reporting they have unofficial news that any GamerTags with Halo 3 play associated with them before Sept. 25 could end up with their Live account banned.

Heads up, for those tempted by stores breaking street date... even playing offline may result in getting booted once you hook back up.

-- Steve'll keep an eye out for something more reliable than rumour... and isn't certain whether he hopes it's true or it's false.
