Actually, several servings of momentous are included in this journal entry.

For instance: the fact that I have not waited eight days to write about something in the journal. *Ahem* My chronic, literary procrastination aside, 343i (and, by association, Microsoft) have announced the release of two new games from the Halo franchise. Halo: Anniversary (this November), and Halo: 4 (late? 2012).

Of the two I am more excited about Halo: Anniversary; an updated, revitalized, reissue of Halo: CE. While the anticipation walking once more those hallowed rings has rendered me nostalgia ridden, it brings up little, nagging concerns. A lot of things were "fixed" over the last four sequels, like the Melee and the shotgun. How much of my fond memories shall remain just that due to the meddling of an unproven developer? Honestly, I'd give my eyeteeth to know that the only things getting tweaked were the graphic resources and sound effects.

H: 4, the Chief wakes up and has, what I swear looks to be, a sound suppressor. It's a year and a half away so details are sure to be scarce. I did notice his armor was sporting a few more polygons, however. Further proof to support my theory that Cryo Sleep is good for your 'skin'!

Here are the trailers:

Well, that's done. Back to reading McCaffrey novels.
