Personally I am very interested as to what is going to happen in 6 days (10th of August) more than I am interested in the 24th. Perhaps it will have something to do with the 24th, and give more of a hint to what it all means, which I really really hope is true. I don't think , on a side note, that it will be released on the 24th, you do not create a marketing campaign based on a certain date and then lie about it. It just doesn't happen, and it has never happened.
I am also interested as to whether or not DANA will start posting again on her blog spot. Her last one was kind of cryptic and creepy so I am pretty excited to see what is going to happen on the 10th. Will the site just transform more violently into something different, or just get more f%$cked up.
For those web heads out there, the site is composed of mostly div align tags, that's why it so easy to create a random chaos of the site that is different each time. It's pretty awsome. I think I spotted only one table on my quick glance at it. But...for fun sake lets take a look at the script shall we.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.2">
var chinatime = new Date(2004,7,24,6,7,0);
</SCRIPT>
<script language=Javascript1.2 src="countdowntochina.js"></script><BR& gt;
countdown to china!? didn't dana say she was going to bejing?
But this must have been mentioned before right?
but I digress. I think my point is that this form of marketing (ARG or viral marketing) is really fun. I mean when has an ad in the paper been fun and interactive on this level. there were whole games made to emulate this effect. And not only that but it has sparked such interest for me in the game, that I just did not think was possible (and I had already loved halo) I think it would be a shame to release the game on the 24th. I want more! give me more excitement before the big day! What could the 24th be, it could be any number of things; it could be the start of a promo campaign, it could be a epilogue to the game, it could be the company line, it could just be more mystery! Either way, halo 2 will come when it comes out, at the momment this is more fun.
