News Editor Dave Rudden celebrates a birthday and we all come back to a relatively quiet Monday in the news cycle. The Halo: Reach beta officially kicked off for ODST-owners, though, so that's something. Here's some stuff we decided not to post:

John: Me too. I'd love to go, but there's STILL an insane waiting list.
