So... you've deliberately moved into a system that makes me feel like I HAVE to squeeze into someone else's conversation in order to get heard at all, whether or not the point I'd wanted to make is on the dominant theme? Really?

From everything I've heard, the types of women who fantasize about roided out bodybuilders in powered armor covered in alien blood are in a small minority.

Yes. Bethesda makes AWESOME swag. The (felt) horned helmets for Skyrim were another home run. I wouldn't say they're particularly useful, but they're fun, they're memorable, and they're different, which goes a long way.

*reads that "sentence" twice*

It's also called Passion Paper in the entry when it says Paper Passion in the image and link, so I'd say the word salad has been well tossed. ;)

It's not that private, really. Internal to Microsoft, yes. But if there's big posters promoting the Halo beta in the cafeteria at work, I think it's fair to say that Lots of People Know About This. *half-grin* (It is, however, available to FTEs only, and seeing as I'm one of the contractor plebes I can therefore…

After talking through my various problems in getting this set up — it's been a long and annoying process with all sorts of…

But what hasn't changed? Firebase White (Noveria, the icy one) remains the map of choice a full third of the time. Even though Firebase Hydra is about a million times more fun.
