The Sad Truth about Halo

[elfs]

Somewhere deep in the vaults under Microsoft, locked behind a heavy steel door to which only Steve Ballmer has the key, lies these notes from a meeting on May 12th, 2000:

Damn, we've only been budgeted half what we requested for the art team. I was hoping for more textures. The software team got the full budget requested, but they added another manager. Well, that's okay. We'll have the huge environments. Now we have to find a way to fill them.

Steve says every chapter must be at least 20 minutes long! Make sure that goes onto the checklist!!!

I wonder what Halo would have been like if Microsoft hadn't bought Bungie.

Well, there would have been fewer sf novels with "© Microsoft Corporation" on them....
