If anyone is near Kent Ohio I plan on leaving work and being here 41.153867 -081.356250 at 9:59. Although the time stamp for this coordinate (if it is a time stamp) says 6:59 PDT. Is that pacific daylight time in military time?

I wonder if that site looks better with mozilla or IE.

If that's true...the xbox will finally live in this happy home. :up:

There is a payphone in Kent at the above locations. Although reading the other site they don't think that anything will happen at these locations. I still plan on leaving work for a bit to check it out. What can it hurt.

My GPS coordinates appear to be on the capital of Texas grounds, just a short walk across the street. I'll take a quick break and check that out too!

While you are there look for a payphone. I will attempt to update if anything happens. I have been actually hoping it is more than just a call. How can everyone participate if it is just a call?

el_jer 08-23-04 03:52 PM

Here is the contact email on the site if anyone is interested:

[email protected]

Maybe someone can ask why the HALO video references that site?

el_jer 08-23-04 04:09 PM

I just relized how old this news is by looking at the Bungie forum. My brother-in-law has a friend who works MS and gets him Xbox games. He told him that he would be busy in Sept. or Oct (i can't remember) referring to a new game. I said HALO 2 is not out until Nov and he said that he heard it was coming out early. This was about a week ago. Now I am wondering!

I think from a PR standpoint it would be a mistake. When I worked at EB the attention major releases got on release dates was incredible. They should ride the buzz that will be created. Maybe a demo will be available or they will announced a new date after that counter expires. Who knows

All too weird for me. I just like to play games not relive an x-files epsiode.

Just walked over to the capital building (Austin, Texas), and there is a payphone on the first floor on that side of the building. :o Hmmmm. I guess I'll be there tomorow at 14:41 PDT, (4:41pm cst)

Looks like there are two locations at the Burbank media center in L.A., I'll try and drop by tomorrow.

MrPink 08-23-04 06:14 PM

David Stein are you going to be at the Kent location? I read your post on the other forum but I am to lazy to sign up. Are you going to be there at the time listed or are you going to be there at the EST?

<b>MrPink:</b> No, I'm visiting the downtown Cleveland locations. One's across from the Rock Hall, and the other two are on the Case Western Reserve campus.

If you're going to visit (and I strongly encourage it!), be sure to adjust for your time zone. The times are listed as Pacific Daylight Time (PDT); 12PM PDT = 1PM MDT = 2PM CDT = 3PM EDT. So for Ohio, add three hours.

Thanks David. I just want to make sure that I should adjust my time. Are you going to speculate on what may happen? I am currently trying to locate a small tape recorder so i can record the potential phone call. I bought one of the small recorder devices that attach to the back of the phone.
I'm excited about going. My wife doesn't understand why I am going but my boss at work is understanding and going to let me leave first thing in the morning to go and check it out.

JM 08-23-04 09:20 PM

My guess is that absolutely nothing special will happen at any of these "axons." I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Outlaw 08-24-04 12:49 AM

whoa, I just got back from my axon, incredible -eek-, I would have never expected something like that to happen. I can't go into any details, but let me tell you this, Halo 2 will rock your socks!

Kumar J 08-24-04 01:38 AM

I don't wear socks when I play Halo :)

Can't go into any details? What is Bill Gates going to come to your house and take you out if you give away any info? ;)

New message at ILB website.

Hey Outlaw, which site did you go to?

Hey sfsdfd, what is the chatroom for this stuff? I've seen #ilovebees and #beekeepers listed, but never what server they're on. I've tried all the major ones and coming up empty.

goLUCKY 08-24-04 11:17 AM

Mordred, go here for the Java chatroom

Thanks!

JM 08-24-04 12:07 PM

Well, it looks like the payphone theory panned out after all. I wonder what the deal is with those coordinates that aren't near payphones... As a side note, apparently sfsdfd activated one of the axons. I've seen the IRC log of his description of the call elsewhere. Perhaps he will show up here with more info soon. Good job sfsdfd!
