So the fuckers over at Microsoft finally figured out how to get that sweet $19.95 out of my checking account and into their coffers. Incase your Internet connection has not been working for the last few days, let me give you an update: Microsoft and Bungie have released a multiplayer demo of Halo3. The game is accessible either by invite, or to owners of Crackdown, and it requires an Xbox Live Gold account. (Aside: I'm watching "The Fountain" right now, don't fucking rent this movie, it is shit, and so is wolverine. Rachel Weis is, however, attractive.)
