Er, so, have the bees missed the boat? Is this for a future package (maybe tomorrow night, with lots of nice shots of crazy people getting their copies at midnight) or did they just decide not to use all this?

P.S. Do I ask too many questions? Wink

I don't know man...I just watched it (I recorded it cause I was in class) and it doesn't look like they'll do anything more than this IMO.

It is my belief that the media isn't so nice to video games and it's fanbase...

Anyone manage to get a recording of it? I didn't know it was on tonight, and missed it studing for the chem test!

Nope, nothing from us on it. The reporter said she would call yesterday but didn't. She also said that they would be getting a film crew out sometime in the future for another report, we'll see how that goes, but I'm not sure I'm going to get my hopes up.

This story's got a pretty short expiration date - it'll all be old news by next Tuesday, when Half-Life 2 comes out. I'm pretty pumped for that... got it Steam pre-loaded and purchased already... PC Gamer called it "arguably the greatest game of all time" and gave it the magazine's highest rating ever (98%). Of course, they gave Far Cry a 97%, so I'm taking it with a few salt shakers.

Seriously, though, they should do another report focusing on the fans and ILB, considering they've probably got hell of footage at the midnight release parties et cetera. I know a lot of people here at ASU were coordinating a "Halo 2 Sick Day"; the majority of participants weren't even "gamer" types. I think it's really cool that Halo 2 has broken down so many boundaries between "video game nerds" and the rest of the general public, by generally being nothing more than an awesome game to play with your friends. Smile

Almost as awesome as the community brought together by ILB!
