[META] Chud review - and I totally agree

Yeah, I admit that this whole axon chasing thing is getting out of hand.
And yeah, there will be another set of axons next week.

On the other hand, the story is being told in a very unique way and is
keeping me entirely interested. The axons also have a finite number of
777. They will end and something fresh will take their place.

No offense to anyone but if people start dropping off like flies things
will get back to a managable level.

Since i'm not able to enhotenate any axons, being in a different country, i can't say i'm getting sick of this thing. I can see what he means about not getting a worthwhile reward after 3 sets of axons tho'. I'd like something different sometime soon.

No-one ever said there was going to be a demo available, people just picked up on someone elses [spec] and ran with it. Despite Bungie saying they will never release a demo, people still thought they knew better. Sucked in to the the fools who got their hopes up for a demo

As the old saying goes:

The article says it's not a lot of fun driving long distances and waiting around for hours to answer the payphones. That does seem like it would be a pain, especially when they keep releasing new axons. But for me, living many hours from any axon spots and too busy with school and such to go driving out to get them, the game is still fun and interesting. The whole axon plot is starting to come together nicely.

But 700+

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go along with the whole 'cockpunch' thing. It was cool at the beginning, but at this point, they've beaten the 'axon' horse so repeatedly and so hard that it's not merely dead, the corpse's organic components have begun breaking down and merging with the ground beneath it.

Open Letter to the PMs: When something dies, you get a shovel, bury it, and then move on with your lives. You don't stand around the body, jumping up and down, yelling at the top of your lungs, "LOOK! I FOUND A DEAD THING! ISN'T IT COOL?"

The 'axon' puzzle/activity/hoopjumping/cockpunch is dead. Move on already.

Well, #1 - if he really thought Aug 24th it was going to be on the level of a Halo 2 demo, he wasn't paying enough attention. Let's face it, dancing robots were more likely and that just wasn't all that likely.

#2 - It's been sometime, maybe never, that I've had a Bangkok Surprise, but then again - I didn't hang around bullies. I'm going to guess that it probably feels a lot worse than anything from ILB. I'm really just pointing this out so that we realize when he calls people hyperbolic geeks, he's being a bit hypocritical.

However, I've also been fairly vocal in saying the PMs are skating a pretty thin line with the axons and the patience of some the players. It's one thing offer a big thanks to people who drive well out of the way for these events, but the weekly grind just has to be grinding. I haven't had a chance to enhottenate any axons, unlike my many Chicago brethren, so clearly I'm solely riding on the shoulders of those more dedicated.

This seems like an expirement in social engineering - I just hope the PMs didn't forget to carry a one over somewhere in their calculations.

A simple solution

[inpheaux]

it wouldn't be bad if the target wasn't 777. having to do ANYTHING 777 times will get boring. having to answer payphones 777 times is unbearable. sure, it's a widespread effort, but 777 is still a huge number. we'll get there, but it's far from fun now. . . . especially when the axon closest to you doesn't describe an actual payphone, but instead describes a point in the middle of a ring of 12 different phones.
