    Just an FYI - if I go missing in the immediate future, everything is probably all right - I'll be playing Halo 2 for an indeterminate amount of time once it's released tonight at 12:01am.

    Anyone else calling in sick tomorrow?

    You'll be envious to learn that my roomate got to go to a special event here in DC that was by invite only, where he not only one a copy of Halo 2 to arrive overnight, but he also won a t-shirt that says "go earth" on the front in blue letters. I uh, feel a cold coming on, do not know if I'll be able to make it into work...cough cough...oh and those calendars might be late... just kidding! On the calendars anyways. :) I'm still gang-bangin' with GTA and now this. Then Metroid Prime 2 next week. Ugh, the rush of the xmas games.

    Two words - punk nice person.

    There are rumors going around that there won't be enough copies to go around tonight... hopefully just rumors, though.

    Danny, shouldn't you be leaving for the store about now? You'll want to be close to the front of the line. I imagine there are already people parked at the door if this game is going to be so much in demand.

    Whew! Don't worry everyone, I'll be able to start saving the world tonight after midnight. I stopped by GameStop on my lunch break and payed for my order of Halo 2. Apparently if you pay for it fully then you don't have to stand in line and wait.

    The guys at GameStop are expecting to be there till at least 2:30am tonight. Hopefully taking turns in the back playing.

    Metroid Prime 2, Halo 2, and StarCraft: Ghost... yes, these I do need to get. I envy you Danny, that you've already got Halo 2! So, what are you doing tomorrow? Want some company? *eyes your copy of Halo 2* :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Right, you just have to wait in line with the other 200 people who paid up front :) OK, how many bring their laptop with them and sit down just outside the store to start playing ASAP! ;-)

    I've got visions of Danny starting on his second bottle of Visine eye drops and his 3rd pot of coffee with a frightening smirk on his face as he blasts the dickens out of his opponent...the one being controlled by a 12 year old geek who dreams of becoming just like Danny!!
