So I was bored and decided to look at the pictures from Matt's phone of his desktop. Then, because I was very bored, I decided to try to read some of the file names on said pictures. Then, I realized that I could piece together some important pieces of information about Matt, and PS2 by doing this.
Case in point: Please examine the most recent desktop picture in which Higby shows us the Vanguard from inside the vehicle... Left side.

To begin, I noticed that Matt operates on what appears to be a "puffy" network. I can only begin to speculate what this means, but I don't like the sound of anything that rhymes with "fluffy"
First, I can't help but notice that Matt has been playing Battlefield Three on his computer. As lead design on the NEW FPS of the future, I can't imagine WHY he would be referencing and playing the FPS of the past. Its inexcusable!!!
Secondly, Matt has an icon for Microsoft Outlook - What self-respecting game designer these days would be caught DEAD using email. Its the new snail mail compared to twitter. Again, inexcusable.
Now, onto some of my finer points.
I can not help but notice that Higby has been accepted in the DOTA 2 Beta, and he has not graced us with pictures or leaks in regards to games that are not his own. If he REALLY wanted to communicate with his community, he would share everything and anything about games in his life. How dare he withhold information from us!
Additionally, It is very clear that they plan to milk us for all we're worth - Take note of the "planetside-X" icon. This is obviously an indication that they plan to take the series multiple directions at the same time ala the megaman series - Mega man 2, AND Mega man X! They thought they could sneak it past us, but we're too smart!
Ok, Lame troll is done trollolololing.
In all seriousness, I DID notice that there are 6 files that indicate that they are continent design files. Is this an indication of how many continents there will be at launch? Pure speculation, but that seems like an appropriate amount for launch?
