Conversation with PM irvine (Alex Irvine) in #bk

Sorry, my logging died right about the end of this chat transcript, but there was probably no more than 2-3 minutes before Alex said goodbye. But here's the (completely unfiltered) mini-chat transcript with PM "irvine" from around 5:30pm today.

[5:27:30pm] * irvine has joined #beekeepers
[5:27:39pm] <Col_DeathDefi> 2 people on x-box live, and 2 people per x-box on LAN
[5:27:40pm] <certron> yeah, nyc had 4 up front doing 1on1 and 1 at the top.
[5:27:44pm] <Avatrix> in NYC, one xbox for live, and four Xboxes NOT on Lan (so it was 1v1 on each...)
[5:27:51pm] <Col_DeathDefi> gah
[5:27:57pm] <certron> anyway.
[5:28:16pm] <Col_DeathDefi> but then a TV broke
[5:28:19pm] <certron> Sad

[5:28:24pm] * darkphan has joined #beekeepers
[5:28:30pm] * ZaZen has joined #beekeepers
[5:28:34pm] <Col_DeathDefi> so we had 4 people on 1 x-box and 2 each on the other 2
[5:28:34pm] <Avatrix> Halo 2 is just so great, the TV couldn't take it, eh?
[5:28:51pm] <certron> the halo busted out of it.
[5:28:53pm] <Col_DeathDefi> haha
[5:28:56pm] <Col_DeathDefi> I don't know what happened
[5:29:01pm] <Col_DeathDefi> they lost a tv I guess
[5:29:04pm] <certron> I'll come back here and post a link to my pictures later.
[5:29:08pm] <Col_DeathDefi> because they said they couldn't use it anymore
[5:29:10pm] <certron> probably in about 3 hours
[5:29:22pm] * darkphan is now known as Guest5952097
[5:29:23pm] <certron> i guess there isn't much interest in here anymore.
[5:29:28pm] <Col_DeathDefi> I got to play the LAN game
[5:29:28pm] <certron> see ya!
[5:29:37pm] <Col_DeathDefi> but didn't get to play on live
[5:29:41pm] <Avatrix> anyway, I'm taking off too
[5:29:48pm] <Avatrix> later folks
[5:29:50pm] * RedFox has joined #beekeepers
[5:29:58pm] * Avatrix is now known as Avatrix|movie
[5:30:10pm] <irvine> how many people here played the ARG w/o being a Halo fan?
[5:30:12pm] <ZaZen> so, anyone get a reply bout dvds?
[5:30:13pm] <irvine> curious
[5:30:22pm] * Guest5952097 is now known as darkphan
[5:30:24pm] <Col_DeathDefi> I was playing on LAN and then I heard Krystyn's voice (they had all the sound including the headset voice in the theater speakers)
[5:30:25pm] <Kybard> irvine: i was initially not a halo fan
[5:30:31pm] * Darklord sets mode: +h darkphan

[5:37:53pm] <Crispy`> Oh, Irvine is here?
[5:37:53pm] <voipme> I can't shower you with enough praise
[5:38:04pm] <voipme> unbelievable job
[5:38:06pm] <irvine> you're welcome to try Wink

[5:38:08pm] <Crispy`> irvine: What'd you do in the ARG? Very Happy

[5:38:08pm] <Gupfee> Didn't I meet you at the Revere, MA premiere of AI?
[5:38:09pm] <bagsbee> irvine: I have never played Halo
[5:38:16pm] <irvine> gupfee: yeah
[5:38:18pm] <Gupfee> Smile

[5:38:33pm] <irvine> I wrote first versions of a lot of Jan and Kamal
[5:38:41pm] <Admiral_Torque> so what was the training exercise....Halo 2 preview?...and what is the DVD like
[5:38:43pm] <Crispy`> Nice
[5:38:44pm] <irvine> plus a big piece of the Chawla infiltration
[5:38:45pm] * DarkStorm peeks in to catch the post-game discussion.
[5:38:51pm] <Crispy`> There's another Main PM in chat right now.
[5:38:54pm] * Gupfee is still waiting for the Beast novel you and Sean worked on ;(
[5:39:00pm] <Crispy`> But you guys can try and guess her yourself. Wink

[5:39:02pm] <_343_GuiltySpark> The Chawla dialogues were a remarkable piece of work. Congratulations.
[5:39:06pm] <irvine> it was 86ed in some kidn of IP fight
[5:39:08pm] <irvine> thanks
[5:39:12pm] * celina63 seconds Gup
[5:39:30pm] <RedFox> wow, thanks irvine
[5:39:30pm] <Crispy`> irvine: I cannot thank you guys enough for doing this.
[5:39:32pm] <kleinlowe> Hey, Irvine... Thanks for the great game. Question, though - if someone's interested in being a PM, what's the best route for them to investigate?
[5:39:47pm] <Gupfee> I wasn't familiar w/Halo at all before ILB
[5:39:48pm] <voipme> I just want to know if the voice actor for Jan is hot
[5:39:55pm] <Crispy`> Combining my favorite game into a world of mystery and constant learning...it's brilliant.
[5:39:56pm] <Gupfee> but I got into the back story via the novels
[5:40:05pm] <irvine> kleinlowe: no idea. I got into the Beast because I knew Sean, and then when ILB came up, there were only so many people who had done it before
[5:40:12pm] <irvine> never seen Jan's actor
[5:40:15pm] <irvine> I live in Maine
[5:40:21pm] <krystyn> Hiya, irvine! Woo woo!
[5:40:23pm] * colin|afk is now known as colin

[5:40:37pm] * incitatus has left #beekeepers
[5:40:46pm] <irvine> thx
[5:40:50pm] <DarkStorm> It was a great job, yeah. My kudos to everyone involved. I'm sad it's over. Smile

I sort of stumbled across the ilovebees.com site because of a link my friend sent me... it must have been a few days after the honey bottles went out. NEither of us have played Halo.
[5:40:50pm] <irvine> you guys made it happen, though
[5:40:56pm] * ViVeRANT has quit IRC (Client closed connection)
[5:41:04pm] <krystyn> woo woooOOOOooOOoooOooo
[5:41:06pm] <Admiral_Torque> just wondering
[5:41:07pm] <krystyn> !chocolate
[5:41:07pm] * Gupfee gives krystyn a platter of chocolate chip brownies and a Dove bar

[5:41:15pm] <krystyn> and hi, Crispy`
[5:41:17pm] <Admiral_Torque> how did you guys choose who to send the honey bottles to?
[5:41:18pm] <onearm> Hey irvine thanks for all your work. ilb= my first arg
[5:41:22pm] * ViVeRANT has joined #beekeepers
[5:41:37pm] <irvine> A_T: no idea. I was I think writing early scenes then and not involved
[5:41:39pm] <_343_GuiltySpark> irvine: and we also steered some wrong ways, as far as we know... with the Princess being revealed much too early.
[5:41:46pm] <RedFox> ILB was the first ARG I watched:) participated a little, but watched all the time
[5:41:51pm] <irvine> what, you want to be perfect?
[5:41:56pm] <Crispy`> lol
[5:42:03pm] * Lemures|away huggles redfox
[5:42:04pm] <Bill> voip, Jan's VA a 50 y.o. soccer mom from Ohio
[5:42:09pm] <krystyn> baha!

[5:42:46pm] <Bill> irvine, what was your role?
[5:42:52pm] <RedFox> I just kept watching for the story...it sucked me in
[5:42:59pm] * Bill sets mode: +o irvine
[5:42:59pm] * Darklord sets mode: -o irvine
[5:43:00pm] <Crispy`> http://www.tvtome.com/images/people/205/4/24-27463.jpg <--- Jan.
[5:43:00pm] <krystyn> My mom's a 61 yo goose whisperer in the Chicago suburbs
[5:43:03pm] <Bill> doh
[5:43:04pm] <RedFox> was like a building novel, even if you didnt play much
[5:43:13pm] * Admiral_Torque has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[5:43:15pm] <Col_DeathDefi> That's Jan?
[5:43:17pm] <Col_DeathDefi> for real?
[5:43:17pm] <Crispy`> Yeah.
[5:43:19pm] <irvine> wrote initial drafts of a bunch of Jan and Kamal scenes, plus the Chawla infiltration
[5:43:20pm] <Col_DeathDefi> cool!
[5:43:25pm] <_343_GuiltySpark> He had already answered that. Initial Kamal and Jan versions, and most of Chawla dialogue.
[5:43:36pm] <voipme> ha!
[5:43:37pm] <irvine> people come and go
[5:43:54pm] <Nova> Hiya irvine, maybe you can answer my question Very Happy

[5:44:01pm] * Admiral_Torque has joined #beekeepers
[5:44:07pm] <irvine> glad to finally connect with y'all; it's been fun watching the interplay on the boards
[5:44:11pm] <Bill> i hit /clear before I realized we had royalty
[5:44:11pm] <irvine> Nova: ?
[5:44:29pm] <Admiral_Torque> irvine: how did you guys pick who got the honey?
[5:44:31pm] * Col_DeathDefi is sleepy
[5:44:35pm] <Nova> I'm just wondering why Jersey decided on the name Durga. Was it the Hindu goddess thing or was there some other reason?
[5:44:35pm] <irvine> dunno
[5:44:48pm] <Snooper_1989> Doo doo doo... *dance*
[5:44:49pm] <irvine> you'd have to ask Sean
[5:45:01pm] <Crispy`> Yeah.
[5:45:03pm] <Crispy`> Call Sean.
[5:45:05pm] <Gupfee> Durga is appropriate given her place in the pantheon
[5:45:05pm] <Crispy`> Get him in here.
[5:45:06pm] <Crispy`> Very Happy

[5:45:11pm] <kleinlowe> Yeah!
[5:45:14pm] <onearm> doesnt durga mean inaccessible?
[5:45:17pm] * Col_DeathDefi thinks the person that played Jan is hot
[5:45:32pm] <_343_GuiltySpark> irvine: we hope for a high-ranked PM to pay us a visit some time. Do you think they might decide to talk to us? Or is it only the junior PMs that are allowed to emerge from behind the curtain?
[5:45:33pm] <Gupfee> geez, take it to #stalkers
[5:45:39pm] <celina63> lol
[5:45:41pm] <RedFox> lol.
[5:45:46pm] <irvine> I think the others are just buried
[5:45:48pm] <RedFox> ILBStalkers
[5:45:52pm] <irvine> you'll be hearing from them, is my guess
[5:46:02pm] * Soup4Brains has joined #beekeepers
[5:46:04pm] <Crispy`> There is a Major PM in here right now.
[5:46:08pm] <Crispy`> Which I've told you 5 times.
[5:46:14pm] <irvine> I think the honey stuff will be revealed at a later date
[5:46:17pm] <Soup4Brains> umm...why did my torrent stop, close, and then refuse to resume?
[5:46:24pm] <celina63> I'm assuming that what's going on for them right now, is reconnecting with family/reality Smile

[5:46:25pm] <_343_GuiltySpark> Crispy`: having one present and conversing with one seem to be two different things.
[5:46:25pm] <Crispy`> Uhm.
[5:46:28pm] <Crispy`> Soup4Brains: Shhhh.
[5:46:29pm] <kleinlowe> Yes, yes, but he/she/it isn't talking.
[5:46:35pm] <Soup4Brains> ?
[5:46:35pm] <Gupfee> Soup4Brains: Durga stopped it
[5:46:37pm] <Crispy`> _343_GuiltySpark: Well, the Major PM is sleeping right now. Smile

[5:46:48pm] <RedFox> hehe
[5:46:58pm] <Admiral_Torque> and the whole axon Idea was ingenious....i wasn't really into Halo until you guys crossed it with Geocaching
[5:46:59pm] <Soup4Brains> Seriously what gives?
[5:47:12pm] <Col_DeathDefi> There is a PM in here?
[5:47:13pm] <Crispy`> Soup4Brains
[5:47:14pm] <Crispy`> Who knows.
[5:47:22pm] <Crispy`> But don't talk about..."THAT" with a PM in the room.
[5:47:25pm] <celina63> Col, yes... Irvine
[5:47:27pm] <Soup4Brains> anybody else having the same problem?
[5:47:33pm] <Crispy`> Soup4Brains, Shhhh.
[5:47:40pm] <Soup4Brains> shhh what?
[5:47:49pm] <Crispy`> There's a PM here, let's not discuss "That"
[5:47:58pm] * Gupfee sets mode: +h irvine
[5:47:58pm] * Darklord sets mode: -h irvine
[5:48:00pm] <Soup4Brains> PM?

[5:48:10pm] <Crispy`> :\
[5:48:15pm] * Gupfee thwaps Darklord in his little stupid bot head
[5:48:29pm] <Soup4Brains> should i ask them for a DVD then ? :/
[5:48:33pm] <Col_DeathDefi> lol
[5:48:40pm] <Crispy`> Email Dana.
[5:48:42pm] <irvine> hi5, Col
[5:48:44pm] <Gupfee> no, you should follow the instructions in the blog
[5:48:51pm] <Admiral_Torque> who actually has the DVD now?
[5:48:53pm] <Soup4Brains> I'm not on melissa's list, I don't think
[5:49:04pm] <Beowulf> yawn
[5:49:09pm] <RedFox> I'd love a DVD, but other people deserve one first
[5:49:24pm] <Col_DeathDefi> The question we all want to know... Is it over now?
[5:49:29pm] <Nova> irvine: Did you guys get to interact with the VAs much during the process?
[5:49:38pm] <Admiral_Torque> no...just wait til 2552 lol
[5:49:38pm] <DarkStorm> I sent a few e-mails to the Sleeping Princess (got no reply, though), so my e-mail addy *may* be recognized.... Wink

I'm guessing it's over, if the PMs are revealing themselves.
[5:49:43pm] <Soup4Brains> lol
[5:49:48pm] <irvine> I live in Maine. All of the recording was done in LA
[5:49:59pm] <Soup4Brains> blah. see ya later
[5:50:01pm] <PatamonKid> I sent a couple e-mails to Mel
[5:50:10pm] <Crispy`> I sent one before they told us to send after the event
[5:50:14pm] <Crispy`> And then I sent one this morning.
[5:50:22pm] <Nova> My knowledge of US geography is limited, but I'm going to take that as a 'no'. Smile

[5:50:29pm] * Soup4Brains has quit IRC (Quit: My own twisted corner of "teh intarweb" (a major work in progress): http://soup4brains.getoffmynuts.com)
[5:50:30pm] <PatamonKid> ...
[5:50:32pm] <Admiral_Torque> irvine: were you guys surprised to see people with ILB signs in the background of the discussions of the presidental debates?
[5:50:32pm] * Crispy` nudges irvine. "Hook me up with the DVD? ;D"
[5:50:37pm] <irvine> yeah, I'm 300+ miles away
[5:50:38pm] <Col_DeathDefi> Irvine, i've seen your name in here before I think.. Interesting being the spy if you have been in here before Very Happy

[5:50:40pm] <PatamonKid> My gf gave pics of me to her lesbian friend Neutral

[5:50:42pm] <irvine> I mean 3000
[5:50:52pm] <irvine> must be some other irvine
[5:50:55pm] <irvine> my first time
[5:50:58pm] <Col_DeathDefi> ahhh
[5:50:59pm] <Col_DeathDefi> ok
[5:51:00pm] * fireballs_cats is now known as fireball
[5:51:09pm] <Nova> Wow, a really distributed effort, then.
[5:51:18pm] <irvine> yup
[5:51:21pm] <Col_DeathDefi> Question: Irvine, were there ever PMs in this chat room?
[5:51:24pm] <Beowulf> <3 Neutral

[5:51:31pm] <Crispy`> There's been PMs in here 24/7
[5:51:33pm] <Nova> And you guys managed such a great job of running things. That just makes it all the more impressive.
[5:51:35pm] <irvine> I imagine there were lurkers
[5:51:40pm] <irvine> thx
[5:51:43pm] <Col_DeathDefi> cool
[5:51:46pm] <Crispy`> *cough* *points to AnthraX101*
[5:51:49pm] <TuxKamen> irvine: Sorry, idled like nuts but--I never played Halo before playing this. I still might not, but I might rent it. Smile

[5:51:52pm] <Admiral_Torque> will there be any confirmation that a DVD will be sent
[5:51:58pm] <irvine> dunno
[5:52:01pm] <irvine> not my dept.
[5:52:11pm] <RedFox> yeah, this makes me actually WANT to buy an XBox:)
[5:52:12pm] <Gupfee> heheh, AnthraX101 is not a PM
[5:52:16pm] <DarkStorm> I don't have an Xbox. Or a PC. So probably no Halo for me.
[5:52:20pm] <Crispy`> I know he's not.
[5:52:22pm] <Crispy`> But.
[5:52:23pm] <irvine> I've never played the first halo
[5:52:25pm] <irvine> want to now
[5:52:28pm] <Crispy`> He knew all along who was in here.
[5:52:33pm] <RedFox> irvine, agreed:)
[5:52:43pm] <Gupfee> Crispy`, many of the mods knew who the PM spies were
[5:52:48pm] <Gupfee> or at least suspected
[5:52:50pm] <Crispy`> Gupfee: Sad

[5:52:55pm] * celina63 is considering renting an XBox and Halo 2 from Blockbuster or something
[5:52:57pm] <TuxKamen> Likewise. No excuse with it out on the computer.
[5:52:59pm] <Gupfee> especially after Jane outted herself accidentally
[5:53:00pm] <Crispy`> So you know who else is in here, right?
[5:53:02pm] * fireball still has no idea
[5:53:03pm] <Admiral_Torque> so is the Dana character a relative of a PM?
[5:53:04pm] <Crispy`> Oh well yeah.
[5:53:05pm] <Col_DeathDefi> I loved the story, especially the cliffhangers
[5:53:06pm] <kleinlowe> Irvine: ILB had me set to buy an XboX and Halo 1 and 2 untill my transmission ate the cash.
[5:53:14pm] <Crispy`> Jane only talked with Siege88|Work for like a half hour yesturday.
[5:53:14pm] <Crispy`> lol
[5:53:18pm] <irvine> f**king cars
[5:53:36pm] * argn has joined #beekeepers
[5:53:43pm] <Crispy`> irvine: Did you guys have access to the Halo Bible?
[5:53:46pm] * PatamonKid is getting an Xbox and Halo 1 and 2 for Christmas now because of ilb
[5:53:46pm] <celina63> hahaha!
[5:53:47pm] <irvine> yeah
[5:53:49pm] <Gupfee> this was a few weeks ago Crispy`
[5:53:49pm] <Crispy`> Omg/.
[5:53:52pm] <Crispy`> Gimme one.
[5:53:56pm] <kleinlowe> It's such a great story. I always thought Halo was Just Another FPS.
[5:53:57pm] <Crispy`> Gupfee: Did she?
[5:53:58pm] <irvine> suuuuuure
[5:54:02pm] <Gupfee> yep
[5:54:02pm] <celina63> ooooo Halo Bible
[5:54:07pm] <_343_GuiltySpark> Gupfee: could you elaborate on the outing? Who was careless enough?
[5:54:07pm] <Gupfee> ask her about it
[5:54:07pm] <Crispy`> Gupfee: When?
[5:54:10pm] <Crispy`> Ok./
[5:54:30pm] <kleinlowe> Is ILB consdiered Haloverse canon?
[5:54:40pm] <Nova> Halo's story is great, just as Marathon's was before it. Bungie does good game stories.
[5:54:40pm] <Crispy`> _343_GuiltySpark: Jane AKA Dana.
[5:54:43pm] <kleinlowe> Will there be Offical Halo Novels with Team Jersey?
[5:54:53pm] * fireball sets mode: +a irvine
[5:54:53pm] * Darklord sets mode: -a irvine
[5:54:55pm] <irvine> on canonicity: not sure
[5:55:00pm] * fireball kicks darklord
[5:55:01pm] <irvine> on novels: also not sure
[5:55:06pm] * Allan has joined #beekeepers
[5:55:21pm] * sitefry has joined #beekeepers
[5:55:27pm] <argn> what is on the disk that went out at the sites?
[5:55:30pm] <Crispy`> sitefry!
[5:55:32pm] <Crispy`> Another PM is here.
[5:55:33pm] <Admiral_Torque> what's it feel like to be bombarded with questions from adoring fans of something you were a good part of?
[5:55:42pm] * sitefry is now known as strifey
[5:55:44pm] <Col_DeathDefi> So, was the storyline made by bungie, and they gave u the wavs to put on the site?
[5:55:44pm] <DarkStorm> My only question is... what's next for the Hive? I really liked this one.
[5:55:49pm] * Darklord sets mode: +h strifey
[5:55:55pm] <Gupfee> Beast III!!
[5:56:00pm] <Gupfee> Wink

[5:56:02pm] <Beowulf> O_O
[5:56:02pm] <RedFox> lol
[5:56:05pm] <bagsbee> Garfield ARG
[5:56:07pm] <TuxKamen> Find the Forerunner Kittens!
[5:56:07pm] <irvine> Sean and elan did most of the story work far as I know
[5:56:12pm] <irvine> questions are fun
[5:56:42pm] <celina63> HAHAHA
[5:56:48pm] <celina63> Beast III: Save The Kittens
[5:56:54pm] <Gupfee> heh
[5:57:19pm] <argn> so the countdown that is on the site now, that counts down to when the covenant will attack earth in the story?
[5:57:28pm] <Crispy`> Yeah.
[5:57:34pm] <Crispy`> I'm gonna be waiting for that date.
[5:57:35pm] <argn> nice touch
[5:57:45pm] * Ikkarus has quit IRC (Quit: no fate but what we make (EOF))
[5:57:52pm] <celina63> it's gonna be a long wait Smile

[5:57:55pm] <argn> hehe
[5:57:59pm] <kleinlowe> I didn't think ILB would be possible to close with the satisfaction it was.
[5:58:02pm] * strifey wonders if some rabid ILoveBees/Halo fan is going to try to cryogenically freeze himself until that date
[5:58:14pm] <Crispy`> Rofl.
[5:58:18pm] <Col_DeathDefi> Irvine, were you Puppetmaster 2 from the article on Wired.com?
[5:58:18pm] <Crysm> sounds like a plan!
[5:58:23pm] <Crispy`> You get unfrozen and there are Sirens blaring and you're like "Wtf?"
[5:58:26pm] <argn> ***only to wake up and be really confused***
[5:58:37pm] <RedFox> I will be back later, thanks again irvine:)
[5:58:39pm] <kleinlowe> Closure is hard; that's why soap operas are popular and cheap. But you PMs did it well, so a major kudos to you.
[5:58:42pm] <TuxKamen> Unfreeze, siren, plasma shot to building.
[5:58:44pm] <irvine> Col: no, I've been completely in the bg until now
[5:58:48pm] <Bill> i'm sure someone will make a Chaula Base level
[5:58:48pm] * Siege88|Work has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
[5:58:50pm] <g_adams27> So irvine, did you just write your parts of the dialog and then finish? Or did you watch us here and in the forums to see what we'd do?
[5:58:52pm] <irvine> endings are indeed a bitch
[5:58:57pm] <Col_DeathDefi> ahh cool cool
[5:59:00pm] <TuxKamen> Hm.
[5:59:05pm] <irvine> I wrote most of what I wrote without ever seeing this forum
[5:59:11pm] <argn> hwo long was this in the making?
[5:59:14pm] <argn> *how
[5:59:22pm] <DarkStorm> Were PMs watching the Unfiction.com boards, too?
[5:59:23pm] * Siege88|Work has joined #beekeepers
[5:59:24pm] <irvine> all will be revealed
[5:59:32pm] <Col_DeathDefi> O_O
[5:59:34pm] <TuxKamen> Story-related question: What do you think happened to Jersey and Kamal? Is that open-ended, or did you guys have a definite idea?
[5:59:36pm] <colin> they always watch the boards
[5:59:37pm] <kleinlowe> Yay!
[5:59:38pm] <irvine> I checked out unfiction once the Apieary was up and running
[5:59:39pm] * fireball sets mode: +a irvine
[5:59:40pm] * ChanServ sets mode: -a irvine
[5:59:45pm] <argn> will it be possible to pick up a copy of the disk that was distributed?
[5:59:48pm] <Crispy`> All will be revealed?
[5:59:49pm] <Crispy`> When?!
[5:59:50pm] <fireball> well. progress. Razz

[5:59:53pm] <irvine> Tux: dunno
[6:00:01pm] <DarkStorm> .. yeah, are there any DVDs left? Wink

[6:00:09pm] <Nova> I'm curious as to who came up with the idea of doing an ARG for Halo 2 in the first place. Microsoft? Bungie?
[6:00:13pm] <irvine> Crispy: dunno. I was just talking about background game-planning
[6:00:15pm] <colin> can i get one sent to australia?
[6:00:18pm] <Crispy`> irvine: Ahhh.
[6:00:25pm] <irvine> can't help with DVD questions, sorry
[6:00:31pm] <Beowulf> It's siege! Run for the hills! :X
[6:00:31pm] <Crispy`> irvine: How long have you guys been working on this?
[6:00:42pm] <Gupfee> Tacky Fanboy Tactic #1: Asking Game PMs for swag
[6:00:47pm] <Bill> since the Hive is spawn of Microsoft, the relationship was already there
[6:00:53pm] <TuxKamen> Nobody has received any confirms from Dana, as far as I know, so it might be a bit premature.
[6:01:09pm] <TuxKamen> All that mountain-o'-crap would probably have to be sorted first.
[6:01:17pm] <Admiral_Torque> will there be any kind of t-shirt we could get??? lol
[6:01:23pm] <argn> hehe
[6:01:30pm] <PatamonKid> Yay for Halo2 tshirts on sale tomorrow at eb games or somethin
[6:04:06pm] * Demosthenes has joined #beekeepers
[6:04:07pm] <TuxKamen> Admiral Torque: I suggest our fine, fine products at www.cafepress.com/ilovefleas.
[6:04:11pm] * strifey wonders if its tacky asking the PMs to be on your chatroom dating show
[6:04:11pm] <DarkStorm> True. "Dana" probably has a mountain of e-mails to sort through. IT's a good thing gmail has so much storage space Wink

[6:04:13pm] <Demosthenes> hullo
[6:04:25pm] <irvine> Crispy: Other people were working on it for quite a while before I got involved
[6:04:28pm] <Crispy`> Hi Demosthenes.
[6:04:32pm] <Crispy`> irvine: Ahhh, ok.
[6:04:32pm] <TuxKamen> I think I need to add a shirt with today's final code sequence. Smile

[6:04:32pm] <Nova> I've got one of those cafepress seek behold reveal shirts on its way right now.
[6:04:41pm] <Crispy`> irvine: Can you swipe a copy of the Halo Bible for me. ;D
[6:04:43pm] <Demosthenes> Damn, the ILB DVD torrent from the Netninja Wiki sure is loading slowly Sad

[6:04:57pm] <Crispy`> ...
[6:05:03pm] <argn> how many people have asked for free stuff? Let's keep a tally. . .
[6:05:25pm] <argn> we are at 4,567,7423
[6:05:25pm] <irvine> Crispy: for one billion dollars I will do this.
[6:05:33pm] <Crispy`> irvine: I'll save up.
[6:05:33pm] <strifey> At least nobodies asked for his car or something yet
[6:05:40pm] * fireball sets mode: +a irvine
[6:05:41pm] <irvine> you wouldn't want it
[6:05:42pm] <kleinlowe> I don't want free stuff. I want a peice of the action. I want to know where I can sign up to work on the next one.
[6:05:43pm] <fireball> Yay!
[6:05:45pm] <Nova> irvine: Are you going to get into halo 2 in the wake of all of this stuff? Are we going to see you online in xbox live?
[6:05:57pm] <irvine> I'd have to buy an Xbox
[6:06:00pm] <irvine> my wife would kill me
[6:06:03pm] <Gupfee> heh
[6:06:15pm] <argn> so saying all will be revealed. . .should we jsut keep an eye on the site?
[6:06:22pm] <strifey> They can't spot you a free Xbox? Bad Microsoft :-p
[6:06:23pm] <Gupfee> my husband can probably make his case for one again
[6:06:24pm] <irvine> always a good idea
[6:06:26pm] <Admiral_Torque> TUX: just flea stuff no bees?
[6:06:29pm] <argn> is there another good refrence that I should know about?
[6:06:34pm] <Demosthenes> I need a TV. I'm moving out from home tomorrow and I can't play Halo 2 unless I have a TV
[6:06:36pm] <Demosthenes> ;_;
[6:06:40pm] <TuxKamen> I am a flea++ specialty store. O_O
[6:06:44pm] <Crispy`> irvine: Is there any one some of us could get hired for an ARG?
[6:06:47pm] <TuxKamen> Other shops have bee stuff, and better logos.
[6:06:49pm] * Beowulf is a certified Flea++ speaker :X
[6:06:58pm] <Crispy`> Or is it a "Hey, I know you, come do this for me" thing?
[6:06:59pm] <Nova> When I get halo 2 I'm going to hook it up to a projector and lock the door for about a week. Very Happy

[6:07:10pm] * Snooper_1989 is a certified PHP coder...
[6:07:12pm] <Demosthenes> XD
[6:07:13pm] <irvine> C: no idea. I knew Sean, he knew my work, and it went from there...
[6:07:14pm] <TuxKamen> If you have ideas for new shirts, I'm all for ideas.
[6:07:21pm] <Admiral_Torque> where can i find it..i wasn't ever a big fan of the pious flea
[6:07:28pm] <celina63> HAHAHA... new MS Certification: Flea++
[6:07:40pm] <celina63> however, you will soon have to upgrade to Flea.NET
[6:07:41pm] <Crispy`> irvine: Ahh, ok.
[6:07:48pm] <DarkStorm> Flea++ is just corrupt SPDR Wink

[6:07:48pm] <strifey> Crispy, make your own ARG, make a name for yourself, and you'll be set. I think it goes for everything in life, the more connections experience you have, the better off you are.
[6:08:01pm] <strifey> connections/experience
[6:08:02pm] <Crispy`> strifey: You know about me and Siege88|Work's right?
[6:08:03pm] <Col_DeathDefi> Irvine: Did the writers of Ilovebees correlate with the writers of Halo 2 so that the storyline would flow correctly when one picks up Halo 2 from the stores and starts playing the game?
[6:08:37pm] <irvine> attention was paid to continuity
[6:08:44pm] <TuxKamen> flea.NET is syntactically equivalent to Honey anyway!
[6:08:46pm] <Col_DeathDefi> awesome Smile

[6:08:53pm] <argn> will the characters from ILB have cameos in the Halo2 storyline?
[6:08:58pm] <irvine> dunno
[6:09:02pm] <[twilight]> No
[6:09:09pm] <g_adams27> Irvine, what sort of rewrites did you have to do when weephun ratted out the SP?
[6:09:13pm] <celina63> irvine, do you know if any of the ILB characters are in Halo2?
[6:09:20pm] <Crispy`> lol
[6:09:21pm] <Bill> we got that answer earlier
[6:09:23pm] <celina63> whoops, repeat question, sorry!
[6:09:29pm] <Nova> look two lines up Smile

[6:09:29pm] <Bill> h2 story was locked down months ago
[6:09:34pm] * Crispy` pats celina63 on the back. "It's ok. Very Happy

"
[6:09:39pm] <Bill> no ILB stuff in it
[6:09:39pm] * Col_DeathDefi wonders how twilight knows this
