According to this news post, a contest was held to have the Large Hadron Collider renamed, and among other awesome names such as “Black Mesa” and “42″, the winner is “Halo”.
It seems Microsoft will attempt to sue CERN for this. Most likely, they will fail (because Europeans always win in the end). They will then attempt to sabotage the Hadron Collider by replacing the test sample with something downright stupid, and cause the resonance cascade.
OF COURSE! If the Combine take over Earth, imagine how much money Microsoft will make! Combine weaponry and technology powered by Microsoft Windows! They’ll be rich (it’d also explain why the Combine are such poor fighters compared to the HECUs from Half-Life 1)!
Good luck to all of you in the upcoming weeks, and remember to keep an eye on our blog for more “informative” posts.
