I promised I would film the events at the Halo 3 release taking place at my local Gamestop, but I lied. I had every intention to do so, but I learned that my video camera didn’t feel like working too late to make any late plans to get a replacement. My apologies. Luckily I had my trusty iPhone on hand, and was able to take some pretty interesting pictures using that. Before presenting those to you, I would like to publicly thank Gamestop for doing such an awesome job at moving customers through. Each person was asked to pay for the game prior to 12AM, at which point all you had to do was get in line, flash your receipt and ID, then in turn your were handed your copy of the most anticipated title this year. I was about 200 people from the start of the line and was out of the mall in 20 minutes. Really, just a great job. Alright so some pictures and descriptions for each. The headline image is that of my receipt and a Diet Mountain Dew. If you were wondering, Diet Mountain Dew is the foulest diet drink of them all. Stay away. Stay far away.

Erik. I call this one the ‘action shot’.
