You're such an inspiration for the ways that I will never ever choose to be

So Rock Band 3 is capable of giving me carpal tunnel! Or at least when I'm dumb and don't think to put the keyboard on something. I'm surprised I only felt in when I stopped.

Got chewed out by my boss for my 'hardline' stance of saying "Screw Firefox and Chrome" for the project I'm working on. Here's the thing - I think IE is the worst of all of them, but if the company only supports IE and I'm developing a program strictly for the company's intranet? There is absolutely no reason to program compatability for Firefox and Chrome. Anyone who knows enough to download one of them knows (or will quickly find out) that if only one browser is supported and it's not that one, you're really just wasting your time. Furthermore, I doubt any of the users of this application will have even heard of Firefox, much less know what it is.

And the reason I took such a stance? Because he had just finished a conversation with a co-worker, mentioned that trying to run reports in Firefox or Chrome was just screwy as all hell, but it didn't matter because we only supported IE.

The audio problems annoy me, but it doesn't detract from what was otherwise the defining moment of Halo 3. After Halo 2's disappointing escape sequence (read: there wasn't one) I liked the sense of urgency to this one. I think Cortana could've been a bit more hysterical or panicked at the end, telling him to jump. The reason I picked this video in particular is that he did it very similar to the way I did it: The Manly Way. Every other video kept moving the camera to avoid the explosions, cut out the most epic rendition of the main theme, or took pussy paths that didn't involve jumping through explosions.

There's really not much I can add to it. This, quite simply, is how you do the end of a major series.
