Your Browser History Tells Others Who You Are

I'm pretty sure I was the first Halo fan among us Pilgrims, and probably the hardest core when it comes to Halo. Halo appeals to me because it's like somebody combined Gundam and Star Wars.

The central figure in the Halo trilogy is Master Chief, the (supposedly) last of the Spartan-II genetically-engineered soldiers who made up the main military force humans had against the Covenant - the alien coalition of races who seem hell-bent on wiping out humanity for religious purposes. Like a Crusade in reverse, then.

Spartan-IIs wear a Mjolnir-class armor that packs as much punch (and costs as much)  as a small cruiser (a spaceship), so you can imagine the upkeep. Each Spartan-II is assigned an AI as a partner who fits into a memory card slot on the back of their helmets.

Yes. Seriously.

Because of the interaction between the Spartan II and the AI in their armour, there's been some... tension implied between Master Chief and Cortana, his AI partner.

If this were a shounen anime, they'd be kicking each others butts in Halo 1 and by Halo 3, they'd be unable to keep their hands off each other.

Well, virtual hands, since Cortana doesn't have a physical body.

Considering the complications of the Mjolnir armour, I wouldn't be surprised if Master Chief had wi-fi and a web browser in there. Well, somebody else thought of the same thing over at web comic Nerf Now!! with this strip entitled 'Rampant'

I can totally think of several different ways a web browser's history can be incorporated into a romance anime. I bet it's just a matter of time...
