 		[PRESS] Halo / Halo 3 / Iris
Various -new- news regarding Halo
Report in various media sources covering Halo related material... try to only report significant articles - major news sources or articles with new info. There's a lot of general coverage out there, but mostly stuff that's already known, or bloggers and such.


Variety: Fox taking a shine to 'Halo'

This is funny:
Quote:
...the huge popularity of the vidgame series, Dekel said he's confident his division can continue to sell licensed products in the next few years until a fourth "Halo" game comes out.

Yup, he's informed Rolling Eyes hehe

Eurogamer: MS explains Halo viral campaign

ARGN: History is Circling Back Upon Us, Like - Dun Dun DUN - A Halo!

Teamxbox: Halo 3 ARG in Full Swing, Official Web Site Updated

IGN: Halo 3 Mystery Unravelled

MTV: MTV Games' initial coverage of the NYC SOTA rally

Oh, there'll be more games, just not in the present story arc. Halo Wars being one example. MS isn't going to let their cash cow wander out of the pasture and starve.

 		yes but "fourth" implies Halo 4 Razz
he'd have been better saying "next" imo, which is probably what he was meaning...
anyway, discussion here to a minimum...

 		on 2nd thought, just post it... other minor references could be posted too, just for the fun of it Smile If it's big news or revealing news, I'll add it to the top post.

The crazy people are far more interactive in SF than they are in NYC. Most of the crazy folks in NYC just kind of talk to themselves and generally mind their own business. Their San Francisco counterparts actually step in front of you and attempt to engage you in conversation about the end of the world, or, I actually saw a parade of people that belong to the "society of the ancients", people who believe that aliens built the pyramids. This is a crapload more entertaining than the guy outside Penn Station who just swears at you!

 		This one's funny - interview with the guy who owned a cell phone with the # that appeared on the XBL AdjutantReflex gamerteag and got overloaded with phone calls...

Hushedcasket: College student gets hundreds of cell phone calls due to HALO 3 viral marketing campaign

This makes me sad:
Quote:
Q: Any females calling?
A: Sadly, no. No females are this obsessed with the ARG, I guess.

He need to join up here!

Thankfully unfiction's got dem girls! I mean, no one can hold a candle to Kona, Phaedra, HitsHerMark... Cool
hehe

 		Article about the college student who cell # was the number on the AdjutantReflex XBL Gamertag (links to the interview at hushedcasket)

* Halo 3 AR Game Players Hound College Student, Run Up Phone Bill


Someone who got hooked on Halo (well, says he became an 'halo geek' though he's played Halo 2) -- because of the Halo 3 ARG.
Bought the first novel and he loves it Razz
