.fortune

Template:Ratings

In the Xbox version of Halo: Combat Evolved, if you create a new profile (or edit an existing one), or creating a map name and call it ".fortune" (dot located with shift on), a random saying will appear on the screen.

The ".fortune" on the text box will then also instantly disappear, thus rendering ".fortune" an impossible account name.
