I was just coming on to post that I hope they're paying him enough to replace that shirt, but you beat me to it.

I may not be on the cutting edge of fashion, but why are guys dressing like this? That's a ridiculous outfit, how do you expect to be taken seriously when you are dressed like that? :)

Eh? I think you mean Halo Chronicles. With all those people, it's going to be amazing... At least so i hope. If he's producer, we can only hope it's going to be as good as MGS 4.
