Good Times...

[thebruce]

can't help it...
I've got a decent setup with the transcriptions and audio in an easy to follow, flowing order at www.thebruce.ca/ilovebees/TheAxonPlot.asp which can be downloaded in order.

Also, at creepy.thebruce.ca, the "Axon Week" chapters are narrative versions of the audio, where each scene is downloadable as an audio (that is, each break within a 'subject' separates a scene - eg, in a Jan subject, there may be 3 scenes, but they released the full Jan subject as one audio - I'm splitting the scenes into individual mp3's so that scenes can be crossed between subjects). If that's not confusing

I'll also be setting up an index page to download the scenes separately in full, in order, rather than going from chapter to chapter in Creepy...


and FYI, yes, there will be an update tonight heh

Augh! I just remembered that the Axon I went to is closed now! They closed the building it was in!

[Motoss]

The axon I tried to have activated (my school's payphone) is still operational, although it never got called.

One year ago today....payphones rang.

Dude, all I did that morning was read the Unforums and go to class.

Took a trip down memory lane today.

The 1st Boise phone had the # wrong on the payphonedirectory.org list. Once we got it corrected there, it was answered every week. That's where we took all the photos with Lt MadCow in his mjlornir armor etc. I stopped by this one 2 days ago as it was on the way to mail off the last of the ILB DVDs that were in my possesion.

Location #2: This is the phone that matched the coordinates exactly. It is part of an old abandoned gas station and we had almost 20 people there the first day to answer it (of whom I only ever saw Lt MadCow ever again). It is about 50 yards from the phone in the pizza hut that did ring and scared the poor pizza hut girls. Later to be the phone that was answered weekly by the Pizza Hut manager who eventually became Lt Furious Jack.


Final Boise Location: The infamous weephun-turned-in-the-Sleeping-Princess-from-here phone. Originally just the middle phone rang, but in following weeks all 3 started ringing (usually within about 15 minutes of each other ... thanks PMs ). This was also the location where I called the phone on the right and got some random passer-by to answer the middle phone the week no-one could make it.


Crazy times, good memories.

In addition:

My first attempt at an axon was the first week out near Paradise Valley (but not near enough to be out of a sea of creepy strip malls.) I still swear it was the phone at the bowling alley, since it was the only one we could find that accepted incoming calls, but I guess it eventually became consensus that the correct phone had long since been ripped off the wall at the gas station or something.

My first enhottenated axon was on September 11, 2004 in downtown Tempe, on the southeast corner of Mill & 7th. A buff, jock-looking guy who was nevertheless familiar with the Halo canon, including the books (!), had toted along his cheerleader-esque girlfriend, who of course thought we were all batshit insane. Bob (Cmdr Pegasus) was there as well, but I got the honor of answering the phone. Nothing like muttering "Apocalypso" into a phone on 9/11 in the middle of a crowded urban area. But we got a recipe3 axon (alt_burgundy) live all by ourselves, my second-proudest moment of the whole game

Awesome thread, guys.

[CoffeeJedi]

this is a great thread

i didn't get my axon until the second week, i was more of a [SPEC]'er than an axon hunter anyway

[Motoss]

I never answered any axons because the closest one was two hours away from me...and I was in school =(

[Lurking_Kouzou]

I never made an axons either (curse you assembly plant!!) however, This is right when I joined up, and I've been an ARG fan ever since.

Dear Bungie and 4orty2wo,
You are my heroes, forever.

Sincerely,
