Halo 3 Makes Having No Life Totally Epic

Special Report by Ian Fawling
   

SAMMAMISH, WA - I patiently counted down the minutes at EB Games until midnight on September 25, 2007 to capture the hoards of Halo 3 nerds unleashed, as I witnessed them pour through the front doors like spider monkeys at feeding time. "Having no life at this moment is so worth it and totally epic", said Travis Garner, who admitted waiting in line for over ten hours for his chance to purchase Halo 3, even though many of the neo-nerds waited for only four hours, which was sufficient enough time to leave with a pre-ordered game in hand. Opening night seemed tame compared to the iPhone launch back on June 29, when rabid throngs cheered first blood.

It was no surprise that the Halo faithful quickly scurried off to their cars in fast pursuit of untold glory after cashing out. I was expecting massive crowds and a lot more cheering when EB Games dropped the black plastic cover over the windows. That was not the case here. I did spot one noob in the group sporting a Halo 3 logo fade on the side of his head. That's commitment!

Early reports are indicating that retailers sold through 1.8 million copies of Halo 3 during the first 8 hours of release. I would expect rampant reports of absentees at school, with Halo sickness kicking in at many places of employment around Western Washington on Tuesday. Mark your calendars for this official nerd holiday, where having "no life" actually means that you're "living the life", though it's a virtual one at best. (more photos here)

I have found a couple of very interesting things, kudos on a great job. I just started my own and would appreciate any feedback or advice you may have. I had a pretty busy weekend so not a ton of new stuff, but still had a chance to add a couple of new cheats:

Thanks,
