In Response To: Penny Arcade Game Day Early Report (Exogenesis)
: I'm sure the PA, and maybe Lanwerx will probably have reports with pictures
: and all that stuff. But I'll just give you the early (late?) lowdown right
: now.
: There was plenty of Crazy Halo Madness. A beta version of Halo PC was there
: (although I wasn't playing it) and there were several two-Xbox networks
: going on. My team got fourth position in the amateur tournament, losing to
: the best team there (who went on to get second place) in a humiliating
: 50-7 or something like that. Oh well. I found a cardboard tube in the
: trash and got Gabe and Tycho to sign it. I think Gabriel might have
: actually misspelled his name or something on it. I don't know.
: I found Major Tom there. I never actually got to play on the same game with
: him though. I think Neo Alucard X was there too, but I'm not sure.
: Bungie was there, of course, showing off Halo 2 on a projector screen with a
: fairly good sound system. The quality is at least 100 times better than
: the videos released on the internet. Plus the first time, I was very close
: to the front. Prime viewing space. SketchFactor just cannot hit that
: jumping Ghost, though. The second time through I had terrible seating, but
: whoever was playing it decided to do things a little... differently. He
: shot the Marines in the head (although they take no damage) and actually
: got flipped out of the Ghost. They showed the intro there that they also
: used at the Fanfest, with Sarge yelling out the demo guy. I love that
: little "kick their sorry behinds" graphic.
: Oh, and I'm not sure what the "special surprise" might have been,
: but Bungie brought along some action figures for the PA guys to give out
: as they wanted to. They might have been prizes for the trivia contest or
: the tournaments or something. They looked damn nifty up close and in the
: (packaged) flesh.
: I'm signing off now, so I hope I didn't forget anything. I'm also hoping that
: I can flush the caffeine from all that Bawlz out of my system too...
