Title: interview w/ first person to beat Halo 3
Post by: Smooth Groove on September 10, 2007, 11:30:55 AM: http://www.gamesradar.com/us/xbox360/game/news/article.jsp?articleId=20070907144820314094&releaseId=2005000000000000000350&sectionId=1006&pageId=20070907144940830028

She celebrated with a big bowl of ramen. What does that mean? Even Japofags should play Halo 3.

GamesRadar: You're the first journalist - the first fan outside of Bungie and Microsoft - to see and play Halo 3 in its entirety. How does it feel?

Francesca Reyes, Editor-in-Chief of Official Xbox Magazine: You know? I think I was kind of in a state of shock for most of it, especially after I finished the campaign. I was happy, yes - but it didn't really hit me until I was back in San Francisco and eating a big bowl of ramen at some neighborhood joint. I sat there at the table with my bowl of ramen and a copy of Wired (the one with Master Chief on the cover which I bought for the flight home) - and I thought to myself: Wow. I can't believe I just did something that hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting years to do. I can't believe I just did something that I'VE been waiting years to do. It was one of those epiphany moments when I got really, really happy and realized how much I loved my job. You kinda wanted to call all your friends up and blab on and on…but because I'm still under embargo, I can't exactly do that, so I have to just be happy knowing what happened, even if I can't tell anyone about it.

I SAID WHO WANTS TO FUCKIN TOUCH ME'

halo 3 is going to be awesome, but the stupidity of the prerelease hype is almost turning me off

Post by: demi on September 10, 2007, 12:44:13 PM: I don't really feel hyped for it. I know it's coming, but the hype just doesn't feel there like Halo 2 was.

I'm more interested who leaks it on the net first.

Which is funny cause Halo 3 has potential to be a much better game.

Post by: demi on September 10, 2007, 01:08:11 PM: Well, it just seems like they're focusing more on getting Halo 3 plastered on anything and everything, rather than stuff like ilovebees.

It's like, I get it - Halo 3 is coming, I'm gonna buy it.

Maybe they're trying to "expand the market" like Nintendo by giving the spotlight to someone who doesn't look like a stereotypical Halo gamer. Xbox 1 kinda had a stigma of being a console that's only suitable for 20s-30s men who want to play PC games on a console.

Yeah I agree, this time around things are definately less clever.

Post by: Smooth Groove on September 10, 2007, 01:50:38 PM: I've never heard of Fran Reyes before. It was pretty surprising to see that she was given the Halo 3 assignment. I was expecting a manchild like Luke Smith. That's pretty cool of OXM though. There's no chance that EGM would have selected Jen Tsao to do the same thing.

Post by: Smooth Groove on September 10, 2007, 01:57:05 PM: A woman that was Chief Editor of both ODM and OXM?
:bow

I apologize for my ignorance. Jen can't hold Fran's jockstrap.
Title: Re: interview w/ first person to beat Halo 3
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on September 10, 2007, 02:01:34 PM: yes, Fran is the awesomest woman in the gaming industry and awesomer than 99% of the guys, too
she's an old-school RPG japafag tho so good on her for learning to love Halo

Woah thats kinda fuckin creepy
Title: Re: interview w/ first person to beat Halo 3
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on September 10, 2007, 07:07:07 PM: I figured it was because 911 is 119 in Japan and they're trying to make Halo more popular in 7-11s in Japan so they gave him the 117 number.

Is there any special Halo slurpee? I haven't been to 7-11 in ages.
