Your ability to extract pretty clear facts from ingame jokes amazes me.

I think I should have put "as an aside" in there somewhere.
Though, having gyrocopters and steam tanks running around, with ghouls that look like genestealers and orc shamans that look like space marines in robes...
As an aside, weren't "orcs" purple pig headed monsters before WHFB?

Think GW got bored with the old colour.
Actually, I'm not sure. I think one word is more general than the other. I think goblins are orcs, but you also get the other sort of orcs (hobgoblins perhaps? Cant remember).
So, when you see a goblin, you can call it an orc or a goblin, because goblin is a subset of orc. I think.
Anyway, from memory, isn't "Yrch" or something the elvish word for orcs/goblins?
Er...I mean...I love Yahtzee, he's so funny in everything he does, even if I am only a mindless drone and understand nothing of it...I also love his games despite never actually playing any of them...squeeee

I really enjoyed the "Under new management" sing on the earth, the head-crabs with disguise and the flying shit
I've never really played a Halo, and I probably never will as I have never considered the X360 a console for my needs, but if a pc version comes that will run on my machine i might give it a shot.
I don't think there's anyone here who isn't excited about the next review, whatever game will be one it.
Let's just hope that with all the negativism Yahtzee puts in his review he never makes one of Assassin's Creed. That might be the end of a lot of good view points whenever I get it.

Anyhoo, does anyone know what the insult at the beginning (accompanied by a ravenous critic chasing a rooster) is? I can't quite make out the whole thing.

That would be "bunch of cock-eaters to a man as they are". The rooster is a play on words, or "pun". Hope that clears that up.

BUT, as for the HL vs Halo debate, my take on the whole situation is this. There are a lot of FPSs famous for their single player campaigns (Half Life), and other for their multiplayer (CS, Quake 3, UT) how many games out there are famous for both? That list is gonna be pretty short, and I'm gonna save you the surprise and tell you, Halo's gonna be at the top.
