…because, I tell you, if I’d purchased and played Halo 2 back in 2004, I’d have been fuming for 3 years about that “ending.”

That’s a little harsh, I guess. I’ve seen and read a lot worse cliffhangers, and some of them won’t ever be resolved. Beyond Good & Evil comes to mind. The Architect of Sleep comes to mind as well, but that’s pretty obscure. I’ve run in to a surprisingly large number of people who read it and remember it, though.

As it is, I only have a couple of weeks until the game with the real ending comes out. So I guess I’ll be picking that up early on.

The week of the 25th has a few other things happening… Heroes season 2 starts, and I’ll be recording it since NBC had their little snit and yanked it off iTunes… Legion of Super-Heroes season 2 starts as well, and I think Stargate Atlantis season 4.

Oh, right, and I have classes starting on the 24th. That will put a bit of a damper on the whole week-long orgy of fanboy delights. Still, I have my classes scheduled, I have my student loans figured out… things are all coming together for, I guess, my Sophomore year? It feels weird calling it that since I didn’t take full time classes last year. Let’s call it my Freshman+ year.

So – 13 credit hours, a full time job, the new TV season and videogames. No problem.

I’m so dead.
