.fortune

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

List of fortunes

 * All your hard work will pay off.
 * Everything lies in silence.
 * If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway. (The very basic and first of "Murphy's Laws")
 * Nature always sides with the hidden flaw. (Also a Murphy's Law)
 * Never wear your best pants when fighting for freedom.
 * Rest is good, but idleness is its brother.
 * Smile when you're ready.
 * You cannot fall off the floor. (Also a Murphy's Law)
 * Your luck is about to change.
 * I like beans.
 * NOTE: THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE!
 * Sorry, this fortune is temporarily out of order.

Trivia

 * This joke is also present in Marathon.
