Halo 4 Leaks, Bans and Sabotage

This article from TorrentFreak goes into the detail, but to summarize, the pirates are getting vindictive.

If you pirate a game, you should not be surprised if the company takes some action against you, such as permanently banning you from XBox Live, in response. 

Even though every Halo game has been pirated, this time some people have actively taken to trying to spoil the story for the rest of us. Choosing to pirate a game is an active act, and one should not be surprised if you might find comments on a pirate post that might give the story away. But posting spoilers in various threads, putting up a YouTube video of the game's ending is going beyond the pale. 

If you do not want to spoil the story, be careful what you search before the release.

Mass Effect 3 Updates and Demo

I promised myself that I would not download the demo for Mass Effect 3. I am anticipating a great ending to the series and did not want to spoil the story. I lasted about 8 hours.

This post will give you some information about the demo and updates about Mass Effect 3. No spoilers will be in this post, but links to information off of this blog may contain spoilers. I will warn you in the link so you can decide if you want that information.

Firstly, the demo: it contains two levels of the game.The first level is very basic, teaching you some of the controls (but by no means all of them). If you watched the Fall of Earth trailer, the first level of the demo will not provide significant spoilers. There are a few character revels, but this info has been previously released through the Voice Cast Revel video. If you are really jonesing for a fix of Mass Effect, playing this level will not ruin the game.
