I've mentioned this elsewhere but an FYI:
If you want Halo 3 for Campaign, then by all means grab it.
However, if you want Halo 3 just for multiplayer, then grab Halo ODST. ODST comes with a second disc that is Halo 3 multiplayer but better; it contains all the downloadable maps, which DOUBLES the number of maps you have and some of the newer ones are really great.
Also, the ODST disc functions as a invite key to the Halo Reach Beta multiplayer that kicks off on May 3rd and runs for 2 to 4 weeks.
Halo Reach is especially interesting to me as it's Bungie's last Halo game. They spent the last 3 years tearing down and refining the Halo 3 engine, allowing a fivefold increase in polygon count and a substantial improvement in the networking. It apparently runs with less lag than Halo 3 and the leg there is very small (though vital in some kill or be killed instants).

I believe that many here will be able to empathize with this Wondermark strip.
Portal is awesome, especially the ending part.

I don't know what you are talking about.

Yeah, there's a fine line between an invigorating challenge and beating your head against the wall.
