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

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.

demi · « **Reply #11 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.

wow, so now they're writing up interviews of people who beat the game? this makes game fuel look like a classified ad.

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.

I KNOW WHO FRAN IS YOU ASSHOLE

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #18 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.

Fran >>>>>>>>>>>>> Jen, don't even mention Jen in the same sentence as my Fran

Fran is the hardest of the hardcore! She founded Official Dreamcast Magazine and has been with Future for like 12 years and is totally aawrrrrrrrrrrrsome

Ignorance of the Fran is no excuse!! You fuckin die!!

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #21 on:** September 10, 2007, 01:57:05 PM »

A woman that was Chief Editor of both ODM and OXM?

I apologize for my ignorance. Jen can't hold Fran's jockstrap.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #22 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

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2007, 02:34:34 PM »

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #28 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.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #29 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:08:53 PM »

Reyes looks kinda Chinese in that pic but I'm guessing that she's Filipino?

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

brawndolicious · « **Reply #30 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:18:04 PM »

there's a game fuel slurpee. it's supposed to turn your pee green.

When I was in college, Fran came over to my dorm room to "play videogames."
