[Alpha2004]

bah I give up...if you look in ilovebeer blog about me, theres a pic of master chief.

[metallithrax]

Does the master chief have beer? If He/She does then I want some (notice I capitalised he/she, because the one with the beer is God). :D

I don't follow all this anymore. I'm just gonna wait 'till August 24th, and see what happens! I'll just check this topic once in a while, and see what's been going on.

[rusonjitsu]

All i can say is, Ilovebees, is a VERY cleverly designed website, true it looks horrid, but its meant to be like that. A strong emphasis on hacking! All I can say is whoever built the site has spent ALOT of time on it, there are many versions of the SAME picture that are corrupt, when you look at them in notepad, there are 'hidden' messages, which are about as cryptic as the ilovebees website.

August the 24th just happens to also be the date that WindowsXP SP2 is apparently released...

I think Bungie/Microsoft have wanted people to think and get really wound up by this. The fact that on some sites there are 10000 posts kinda shows how effective this marketing ploy is

:) :D

i believe that windows xp sp2 has already been released... i have it and it is the final version, and it came off microsoft's servers, so im assuming its already released...

[Gabureiru]

PHASE 2 COMPLETE: This medium has metastasized. (now what???)

Dana is en Beijing, China.

And today was the day that SP2 for single PC was released

[H5N]

Now we wait... and hope for the best! ;)

I know what you're thinking, and if it were a playable demo, it would say 14 amazing xbox demos. It doesn't so the E3 demo is just a video.

[Alpha2004]

but then it would say: halo 2 e3 footage, just like ninja gaiden says...

[skiiper]

and yesterday on the person's blog site it says olyoly oxen free. that is like a signal used by the spartans during their training

I can make my own words now.  Watch:

It's rather lonely in the Castle.

There's clouds of fireflies around the Queen, but most of the time where I am it's dark, and empty. The hallways are empty and they echo, cho, cho. Sometimes the Queen staggers past, her head buzzing and crawling, with the Pious Flea whispering in her ear. Used to be, the only other thing you heard in the corridors at night were the Widow's thin legs, click clack click clack like knitting needles chattering across the stone floor. Course she's not around anymore. Can't say I miss her much. 

Didn't stay quiet for long, though. Now the Queen is trying to build a voice. Strange, sad, broken thing; just hearing it makes me feel frightened and lonely.

I was surprised when the Queen sent her away, but Her Majesty DOES have a temper, and the Widow had been making a lot of mistakes. I was hiding behind the throne during their last argument. For days the Queen has been ordering her to build the most extraordinary number of little roads out from the castle. Turns out she was very particular about where she wanted them to go: more particular than the Widow understood. Widow hears, "Build a road," she just starts shoveling. Hard-working old biddy, the Widow, but not the sharpest pin in the cushion. She kept getting into fights with the Flea, when she could SEE him riding around up there on the Queen's shoulder, proud as a lord. The last time they quarreled, the Queen had just discovered the Widow had built one path mindlessly straight INTO THE SEA. This is what I mean about an Arachnid of Very Little Brain.

Usually I am a pretty good hider, but I made a terrible pig-snorty kind of laugh when I heard about the underwater road, and I think they would have caught me, if the Queen hadn't been busy breaking up the Widow at just that moment.

Anyway, I get the feeling the Queen is very grumpy. She has totally taken over the road-making business; I'm sure the paths will be better now.  She's not always a lot of fun, the Queen (and quite mad, of course) but she does get things done. 

Sometimes I sneak away to my very own secret garden, and pretend I am waiting for Dickon to come and teach me how to speak to the animals. I feel I should be getting stout and rosy-cheeked if only I could go out and play on a moor somewhere: but I never get outside. Just say in here, in here, in here.

Sometimes, to cheer myself up, I tell myself stories. In these stories, I am always the hero, Gretel or Lambkin or Gerda. I like stories where the girl takes care of things.

I think

I think that's part of the reason I wanted Dana to come back. It's easier to be brave when you're looking out for someone else.

So now I feel better! You lovely people brought Dana back! I promised you that if you did, I would show you a page I snuck from the Queen's diary, so here it is!

McKaskill, I said. Got a moment?

Sure, Operator!

They call me the Operator because, you know, I work the system to take care of my crew.

McKaskill was a nice kid, family from Durban, on the outer colony world of Biko, which had been glassed years ago. But he'd grown up in refugee apartments in the inner colonies and he had the look of someone who spent his childhood in concrete places under artificial lights.

Weedy.

He was doing a check in the tool crib now. The go-to kid for tools and parts. The stacks of shelves were his little kingdom, probably more his own than anything he'd had growing up. I liked him a lot.

McKaskill, I said, I was checking the slipstream packets. I do that before I send them out. You knew that, right?

His eyes went to the grating at his feet and he got all casual inner city don't screw with me, because he knew I was onto him.

Somebody has been talking to you, I said. And now you're sending him a message back.

So?

I sighed. McKaskill, bad people are putting bad thoughts in your head.

He tried to get righteous. Op, that thingwhatever it is, in the hold. They're keeping big-time wraps on it. You know that. I heard the Captain. The way she's talking, they're not gonna let people look at, it's goin' to a basement in ONI. A sub sub sub basement. They can't just take something that big andshove it away somewhere.

McKaskill, I said, sending messages off to people without clearance, you know, that could be construed as treason.

Op! Melissa! I didn't mean

And we're at war, crewman. Which makes treason a capital offense.

His eyes got wide. But-but-but you got it, he said, it didn't go nowhere.

You're my crew, and no one is going to touch my crew without going through me. I've got your back, McKaskill. But you're going to have to tell me about this contact.

Some old guy. You know, bad taste in clothes. But he was cleared to come aboard, so he has to be Intel.

You know his name?

Probably not his real one.

I just checked my email, and look at what I find.

[stanley porkchop]

behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you. Quantitas Materiae est mensura ejusdem orta ex illius Densitate & Magnitudine conjunctim. Cogito ergo sum. L'etat c'est moi. Maxwell's electrodynamics--as usually understood at the present time--when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. It has not escaped our notice that

Can anyone translate that? I know some of it is French... Is that Latin, too?

[Wolvereen]

L'etat c'est moi means "I am the state". DUnno the context.

I did the Latin bit loosely translated as...

For how much (At what price) Material (Mater or Substance) is mind (thought , attention, intellect) [ejusdem orta (not sure what this is)] out of (from within) of that Thickness (Magnitudine) conjunctim [not sure, maybe joined or brought together?]. To think (Ponder, Consider, Plan) on account of to be (because I am).

Alternatives are in ().

maybe they should focus more on making the game, rather than this stuff!!!

Well they are basically done with it :p

And whoever said Bungie was behind this? I'm guessing they had a very minor involvement with the whole thing.

[skiiper]

but look at the email: [email protected] bungie LOVES 7's

[stanley porkchop]

but look at the email: [email protected] bungie LOVES 7's

It's a Halo publicity thing, no? So my guess is the use of 7's is just a ploy. It's just supposed to be authentic. After all, wouldn't all the signs make it a dead givaway that Bungie was behind it?

It's probably the people who put the theatrical trailer together, in conjunction with some MS people and minor Bungie involvement.

[frew_16]

Ok im probably way off in saying this cuz im sure its already been spotted aggesss ago, i just haven't bothered to read through all the posts, but everyone knew about the "Godiswatching" thing didn't they?

[Mercutio Vanse]

i wonder if the honey is any good.

It's like being breastfed by angels.
