halo 2 is perhaps one of the swaggest video games ever*. they gave master chief dual wielding and the theme has an electric guitar. coolest shit ever. not even mentioning the shit you do in the first 20 minutes. iykyk.

by my infallible judgment. note i have never played halo 3

the unix philosophy is great until i spend half an hour messing with a pipeline to try and get a list of file extensions used in a directory and it ends up with a grep -o "\.....\?\$"
