uuuuuuhhhhhh, 11+9+4=24!? i realize that 11.9.04 is the release date, and something weird is happening on 08.24.04, but what else... there's also stuff with giant bees, r.i.p, and 9 billion. HELP!

hehe. nice update, mr. Frankie. my favorite part was around where you mentioned the skinheads and the $2,000,000 Xbox. you'd think they'd send you some bodyguards. how crazy things would be if you'd been mugged or something... but I guess that'd only attract attention, so they just take their chances with you, eh.

It's kinda nice to take a break from Halo 2 updates and bees. they kinda get a little repetitive sometimes... not that I'm complaining or anything.

anyway. nice update. thanks.

I think that is the funniest Update I have ever read. I burst out in laughter about half way through. These are the quotes I found the funniest:
* I saw a comic array of efficient German prostitutes and a gang of actual Skinheads. My head was freshly shaved and one or two of them actually nodded agreeably. I nodded back and quickly hobbled away, the 30 pounds of Xbox and 200 million dollars of software loaded on its hard drive, weighing heavily on me, all of a sudden.
* Then when I took my seat, he muttered, “Bloody yanks, they’ve got *#%#@$* buses for *#$@%! like you.” Aah, dear olde England.
* The flight back from London was bizarre, because I was actually hallucinating from jetlag and lack of sleep. Sick of flying, I suddenly remembered that I have an eight hour flight to the Yucatan Peninsula in exactly seven days and had a near panic attack. But I got through customs, shaking and sweating like my bowels were packed full of heroin and Swiss currency.
* When I got back, Mango asked me if I’d ever been to Singapore…

Not much Halo 2 related information, but one hilarious update Frankie. Good job!

yo i think i know y they have this major crunch time. theirs like big time celebs out there, like justin timberlake, who pay big to be one of the first to play it. maybe, this puts more preassure on bungie to get all the little bugs out faster for celebriteies. and this mite explain y their in a hurry to get the game ratings from europe. anyways, its just a theory, but i do now that justin t. is gona be the first person to ever really play halo 2. he paid to comp to do so.

While your trip may not have been the most pleasant experience, it sounds like the trip was important. It's so great to hear that Halo 2 is very near completion. That is insane, and an excellent insanity at that. I'm happy for the update Frankie. Keep up the great work.

Well the packaging for the game has to be printed, the CDs need to be burned and the outlets need their copies. 24th woudlnt be possible as game retailers would have to be told that the release date is at that time. If this happened i think it would somehow be leaked onto the net.

Basically, Halo 2 gets a PEGI (Pan European Guide Information) rating of 16+ in the whole of europe. However, this is only a guide, meaning that any kid can legally buy this game. It's only a guide to the consumer.

But let's just say that you knew that already... 8-|

I don't care how much Halo 2 infow was in that update, but it made me laugh and thats worth more than anything Halo2 information can give me (yet). The body twitch at the exact timing it happened was the funniest crap I've seen in a long time.

I'd have to agree with a few others that something weird is going on with the added date numbers and conspiracy stuff. If not, than it'd at least make a good fan fiction story about Bungie ;^)
