I'm a little behind the times with a new baby daughter in the house. I just read the update. The plasma pistol looks likes total crap... the Plasma Rifle on the other hand... looks freaking sweet! I said "Holy S**t!" here at work just as someone walked by my door and gave me a funny look. :P Very, very nice looking. Man, I want to play me some Haloz. I haven't had a chance to get online really, since my daughter was born, but I am totally going to try to schedule some time when my pre-order arrives in the mail after Sept. 25th! Aww, hellz yeah! (or something to that effect. Perhaps some other 'hip' and/or 'cool' expressions of extreme joy that an urban dwelling adolescent might profess. Your choice.)
