This commercial has been on the TV for a while now, and it appears that the company BuzzBeeToys has made a nerf gun very similar to the Spartan Laser.
Here's a pic:

taking pictures of tvs with cameras often yield that really grainy low quality look. and its not as bad as when my laptop's graphics card half killed itself and could only do 4 bit color. i didnt even know 4 bit color existed. that shit was ridiculous.
as far as the dart gun goes, i would not be surprised if they tried to make it look a little bit like a halo gun. how many kids both A) whore the laser in halo 3 and B) think real life guns are cool? its right around christmas too. im sure it would sell better if kids thought they were playing with a spartan laser dart gun.

This was posted months ago it was some cheap ass company trying to make money off halo while at the same time not voiding the ip by directly copying it so much it could be thought to be the same.

That's what colour scheme the Windows boot screen is... at least up until XP -- not sure about Vista or 7 but I think those too. (Edit: No, apparently not... Apparently Vista and 7 both dropped the 16 colour limit).

yeah that makes sense. i was being a tad sarcastic when i said i didnt know 4 bit color existed. im currently running vista with 32 bit color on. logging in and seeing everything in 4 bit surprised me. i couldnt find my way around for a few minutes.

yeah wow. i didnt have any of those cool nerf guns. i had the little ones you have to pump 300 times to make the dart go 5 feet, and half the time the dart never flew out. all these nerf commercials now have these adolescents running around with commando gear and automatic dart guns. apparently lying like that sells the product. if i made the nerf commercials it would be a 5 minute montage of me chasing my cats around the house in my underwear. at least there would be some truth in that.
and at like 2:50 in the montage i would start that painful process of finding all the damn darts. and got help you if one of them broke.
nerf is srs business.
