Will any other game get even 1/4 of the treatment Halo 3 is getting?

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

They will make a real Halo to hype Halo 4 release.

Fucking insane.

Seriously, how much money is being spent on the Halo 3 publicity?

They're making it into the biggest thing ever, but it's not even close, I mean has anything else released gotten this treatment?

 


Well, Super Mario Bros 3 had a whole movie made to hype its release.


 Are talking about "this movie"???

 

No, this movie:

 

 



^ I loved The Wizard movie as a kid!

If Nintendo's big three of SMG, SSBB, and Kart are all able to beat Halo in sales with not even half this advertising, I am going laugh my ass off.

 There are a bunch of video games getting movies, including Halo so that's not that crazy.

I dont care ... Halo has quickly morphed from a decent shooter to a prostitute :(

Some of you guys don't seem to get it. What you are seeing is history. This game is the first real blockbluster for this industry. This game is doing for video games what Star Wars did for the movie industry. In movies, this kinda hype is common, in video games we are now getting it for the first time. Be happy, you love the industry, don't you?

Yeah, all this has made me, a non-fan, hate the series that much more. I am really sick of hearing about the damn game.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
