What a blast the whole event was. From drinks and dinner the night before, slipping into play the day before and keeping folks away from the snipers by escorting them from the front door...

Suckbex sure did rule, however, my impression of the day-after party at Deans was that you (Frankie) and Sketch were schooling the psyjnir guys, not being schooled.

Till next year. No, scratch that. See you at the release.

I have a few questions. Where did you get that pizza? What new form of life did you find on it? and how many casualties were there caused by it?

Yea, I heard Suckbex was good, but who knew he was so damn geeky looking. You guys should really take his picture off the front page. He makes my eyes hurt.

Well, if it means anything to you, your need to catagorize people as "geeky" makes me weep for the future of humanity.

Congrats on a another FanFest. I was at Last year's event and it was total ecstasy.

With as many Halo fans out there, it is impossible to let more than a small fraction into an event such as this. It sure is too bad that 90 people were allowed in when Sketch said only 50 would be selected from the lottery. I checked the FanFest chapter on the 7th column and as of now and last week before E3 only 29 members are shown. (Granted a couple of those are Bungie employees.) Seriously, letting all the webmasters of the popular Halo sites automatically in is BS. So what you're saying, is unless we have a site dedicated to Halo which receives hundreds of hits/visitors a day, we're not fans.

A "weighted lottery" is a horrible solution to the problem of how to decide who gets in or not. This year's FanFest was advertised on HBO (and other sites I'm sure) so for those who sat staring at their monitor had a much better (read: weighted) chance to get in versus those of us who work during the day and check their mail and news at night. Lord knows how many people actually applied to get in. Last year it was first come, first served and wasn't advertised on many sites. (My buddy actually found out about it on the TXB forums.)

I have a 7th column chapter, have been to E3 for 3 years now and was able to get to go to FanFest 2K3. I'm not a big enough fan I guess, now am I??

I sure hope Sketch comes through with a Halo 2 event before it comes out like he mentioned in one of the first FanFest announcements. Here's looking forward to the Penny-Arcade Expo, as well.

The first thing Pete and Frank said after "nice backsmack" was "We can't wait for Fanfest". These guys do everything they can for the fans. You have to understand that Dolbex eats, breaths and sweats Halo. He's possessed!

p.s.

dolbex is my halo plaything

I think some people recieved personal invitations, like Louis Wu and Co. from HBO. The weighted lottery did seem to work out in a strange way, but maybe the people I recognize recieved personal invitations. Only 50 people were selected for Fanfest, but there were 90 people there. I am interested to find out how the lottery worked though.

Sounds like quite the experience. What fun!

  • 05.19.2004 12:46 PM PDT

I was wondering how do you get into FanFest? Also, Whats up with throwing away all the secrets. Believe or not, I take pity on people like you Frankie, who know everything about Halo 2, and won't have a surprise come November. I was also wondering, Frankie, if you could send me private Microsoft Paint Mister Chief drawings, I laugh my guts out at many of those.





Ya, ya, I know. My signiture sux, I'll Change it!!

Ooooh, ahhhh, I just thought of a really cool idea.

At fanfest it would have been awesome to get the voice of sarge as your voicemail message.

"This is Sargent Johnson. Chris isn't here right now, he's at the library."

"It's better to be dead and cool, than alive and uncool!"

I'm not saying everyone who plays Halo is geeky, I play and I'm not geeky. I was just joking and saying that Dolbex looks geeky. And believe me, Dolbex is good at Halo and I'm sure he can take a little joke about looking geeky.

Hey ObbiQuiet,

Do you always speak in riddles or do you say whats really on your mind. If you think that everyone on Bungie is a moron, they say it just like that.

Didn't think that you would.
