Halo/XBL egg
Hehe - we're holding off on most tricks/glitches/eggs until the joint HIH/HBO site is up and running (in the meantime, remember to submit your stuff to High Impact Halo!), but this one was too good to let go. Mike Basus was looking at his HDTV screen, waiting for matches to start in Live, and noticed that one of the lines of what looks like alien text is actually the lower half of text in the Halo font. He's decoded this much so far:

"DAVID CANDLAND IS THE GREATEST UI DESIGNER EVER"
[then there are 13 characters he doesn't understand:] "LIVEINTREEISI"
"HIS WORK IS ASTOUNDING AND HE IS VERY HUMBLE"

I gotta wonder - did Dave put this in, or was someone yanking his chain? Nice find, Mike! Update: Confirmation from a close relative of Dave's clears up that this was, in fact, added by Dave, and as late as October, had not been noticed by the majority of Bungie employees. The best kind of egg! (Louis Wu 10:25:55 UTC)
