I'm hoping like hell we don't have to wait around over here for AGES for Ghosts of Onyx to be released. I hate playing the dodging-spoilers game on the Halo forums. And it looks like it's already started... I've seen posts sneaking in with quotes and samples (I've read one, don't want to go read a whole lot of them) but I just know it's going to get crazy.
Spoiler games suck.
( Though I might have been spoiled for something that could be important. )

Aaaand the ongoing saga of the freaking router.
Thought we were getting somewhere earlier - the thing was actually connecting. For, oh, about 1 second at a time. Then dying. So we called up virgin.net, and the guy did not seem to have a clue what the hell was going on. Usual checklist. What's plugged in, does x work, does y work...
And then mum went and unplugged the phone in an attempt to go 'yay, we haven't got anything else interfering with the line!!' Well done. >_> And the guy's saying we don't get 1mb internet. I know we get 1mb internet. I have checked the connection speed online. Maybe he knows something I don't, okay, but all the test I've done? Nngh. We might end up getting a new router - one of their Official Approved ones, just so we can actually put the blame on them if it cacks up too.
Tried to ring Belkin instead, but all we got was 'whisper'. Phone = suck.

The parental computer is being weird, so parents are taking a scorched-earth approach to fixing it. Everything onto the external HD and reinstall. Yay. :( Did they forget how long it TOOK LAST TIME? How many problems we had? I'd rather go and get Windows XP if we're doing this.
