So I paid $10 today to change my Gamertag to DotFortune6 from JOE 6point0.

However, immediately after doing this, all of my XBL friends messaged me asking what it meant.

It is an Easter Egg from Halo: CE. That is all that I will say.

I am posting this on the forums to get the definitive answer on whether or not the majority of Halo players get this reference still.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Go into Halo: CE and start a new profile. Type the name of the profile as .fortune. It will pop up with some fortune from the sublime "Look unto the past, not into the future" to the totally meaningless "I like beans."

Hence the name.

Never knew this. I think I'll quickly check it out later.

Ah, good ol' .fortune

Not surprising for people to not know what it is.

Yeah. I thought a lot more people, especially on this forum would get the reference. Apparently not.

I knew it would have something do with .fortune after seeing fortune in your new gamertag. Nice name!
