Just caught a snippet in the Don Box Building 42 video from Scoble that discussing Halo on Channel 9 is not allowed. Why?

He meant playing Halo on Channel 9.
Your TV has to be set to Channel 3 for it to work. -
If you listen carefully he said they are not allowed to discuss Halo *2* on C9. Apparently the MS secret police asked them not to.. So he freaked out cause when Halo was brought up he had no clue what was going to be said.

And I come back to you now - at the turn of the tide
Anyone here following the "I Love Bees" game?
Some of us here are going to some of the "axons" that go hot tomorrow. There's one in Redmond by my favorite movie theater. -

Yeah, I was thinking of Halo 2 when I said that. Just wanted to avoid editing later on. I'm lazy.

Sounds like an interesting ad campaign/marketing strategy if nothing else. Maybe Microsoft can someday approach the ingenuity of the infamous "free tacos for everybody" campaign that Taco Bell ran when the space station Mir was plunging through the atmosphere.

Can someone please clue me in? I'm Xbox-impaired. But it looks like there are some magical locations in my area that will "go hot" tomorrow. Unfortunately the traffic around these locations at "zero hour" should be pretty awful.
Are they giving away free tacos? LOL -

That video did have one edit (jump from one place to another..), anything 'interesting' happen in that time? -

Thanks... I just wasted about an hour of my life researching this stuff. It's hugely brilliant viral marketing though -- I don't have an Xbox and now I want one
Some of the writing, which nightmarishly describes someone's experience "waking up" as
a some kind of disembodied cyborg, is really well done.
This is also a good source, as you can see the posts evolve over time:

But I think they had better be giving away whole Xbox systems if they want me to show up downtown at 6 AM!
LOL - I just went to ilovebees.com and IE crashed. Maybe it's not viral marketing after all?!?!? Could it be -- could it be --
? -
A free taco giveaway.
Seriously, the Ilovebees thing came up here:

LOL! Yum, tacos! Maybe Taco Bell will do special Xbox tacos with black taco shells filled with green glowing meat. *gag*

It's too bad that channel9 was left out-of-the-loop on this.
I have a Halo2 entry on my blog with 260 comments.
A month ago I had a "We love bees", and the comments keep coming...I'll do a "I love bees" in the morning and we'll see what happens! -
I love beesWell the day is upon us, do you love bees? Do you love games? How about a good story? How much do you know about GPS Coordinates? If you are at the right place at the right time you might find some answers.
Axons are going hot. Codewords and status updated here.
For the calls, "Operator" and then your location's codeword seems to be the correct answer.
Phone in field reports to the ARGN Axon hotline: 866-395-3681 -

Yeah, someone asked to be cut out.
Actually, part II of the video will be up next week. I didn't realize they had cut a whole bunch. Sigh. -
Thank-you Melissa, the "Operator" for yesterdays excitement. Now where are we? What do we know?
I think the party is just begining, some say there are 567 AXON's waiting to GO HOT. Stay tuned, this could go all around planet Earth.
