Apparently a young gamer had a stepfather who works for Microsoft's ultra-secret testing department. As if it weren't enough that he got to TEST the XBOX 360, he had to brag about it (I would not be overly surprised if his dad is fired fairly soon....)

Regardless, there are some interesting pictures. And he's playing Halo 2.

Update: Father was not fired.

The latest Bungie What'sUpdate answers a lot of questions about the auto update, such as: "If coconut oil comes from coconuts, where does baby oil come from?" and "Is there any hidden content on the halo 2 disc that could change your rating to Adult Only?" and even "How do elites reproduce?"

So go read. Now. The videogame gods demand it!

Just listening to my brand new Trocadero CD and thought I should update you guys on the status of the Seeker Search....

Because the seeker search has not yet been fixed, and has been preventing some users from accessing Subnova, it has been disabled until further notice.

We have already contacted Subnova about this, and hopefully it will be resolved in time for the firefox version.

Our prayers go out to those in London involved in the London bombings today.

If you have not heard yet, the full story can be read here.
