TIME...TO DIE

 

[The Elite]

WTF is going to happen!!!

 

[Ten-Song]

WILL HE MAKE IT IN TIME?!

 

[Coldsnap]

running away from the crowd - bad idea

 

[Cday]

It'd be awesome if the screen just faded to white and said the end or something like that.

Or it could be goatse.

 

[Drakeon]

So, when's it actually going to end? It's 12:01 now.

Never saw an MMO die before. Thought something big or cool would happen and it was a fucking alert box.

 

[K.Sabot]

NOT LIKE THIS.

 

[Ten-Song]

AIR HORN!

 

[Gilgamesh]

AIR HORN!

 

[abombb]

That was actually depressing, seeing the game die like that and everyone saying their goodbyes. That was epic on the rooftops holding hands during a sunset.

The end of the WoW beta was pretty damn sweet.

 

[Tamanon]

Yeah, that was kinda a depressing end.

"Wake up"

"you have lost your connection":lol

 

[jett]

That bitch is getting her fuck on.

 

[Drakeon]

Gotta say, kinda anti-climatic. And by kinda, I mean really anti-climatic. Woulda been REALLY boring if not for the bombcast's excellent-as-always dialogue to accompany it.

 

[SpudBud]

Should have ended with the two guys on the roof.

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Did they say if they were recording it to put up later? I missed it.

 

[.nimrod]

damn, i completely missed it

 

[Cday]

They did.

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Great.

 

[Almak]

That wasn't exactly what I thought the end of Matrix would be, but whatever, it was one hell of a ride!

 

[Yoshichan]

They did.

 

[Frawdder]

Not Like This

 

[Ten-Song]

If they put the video up on the site after, I'm going to watch it again, close it there, and just pretend that's how it happened. And then I'll watch Blade Runner.

 

[firehawk12]

I'm curious... how did the Matrix end? :lol

 

[ant_]

I'm curious... how did the Matrix end? :lol

Wake up, Neo.

 

[drizzle]

The matrix ended...

Like this.

Much love was had for Pasqual (Pascual?), we'll never forget you.

 

[firehawk12]

Ah, so it was just wacky hijinks? I was expecting hoping the Wachowski brothers or whatever would show up. :lol

 

[vocab]

Seriously that was some great entertainment. They kinda felt sad by the end. They only played it for a couple of weeks :lol

 

[drizzle]

Well... the only thing out of the ordinary that actually happened was this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmKIU_6J0HY

Which kinda happened at the end, but we couldn't notice since they were lagged to hell.

Not really that much anyway.. The days prior to the actual ending were, technically, better, since they changed server modes (Halloween, Snow) and cycled through special skies (including the eyes one from the beta).


This is a playlist of what happened BEFORE the actual broadcast started:

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=5D63E39CE9339345

Camera testing shennanigans, mostly.. but fun as hell. That happend in the course of... 4 hours? It was mostly audio streaming and still images, but now and then somebody would happen.

 

[firehawk12]

I have no idea what happened there. :lol

Still, sounds kind of depressing... like the Tabula Rasa ending, where people just gathered around and waited for the servers to shut off.

I just remember how MxO was supposed to be heavily story-based and "canon" and whatnot, so I kind of thought something dramatic would happen. But I guess no one is going to put money into something that's going to be killed.

Woah that was creepy as hell. That happened to Giantbomb, but I didn't think it was that significant. He shouldn't have ran away. :lol

 

[BIVIANO!]

Giantbomb should definitely do more live quick looks or shows. 2,500+ people can't be wrong.

Giant Bomb Quick Look Little King Story

Giant Bomb Quick Look Little King Story

Nice. This is going to be good.

OT: Is there a free app that lets me convert .flv videos into mp4? The thing is, I would much rather seeing these quick looks on my iPod in the gym. And now I can download the videos as flash files only.

HandBrake should work.

Matrix Online: Not Like This - Finale - 66.56

 

[Psychotext]

I'm about 15m into it. So freaking funny.

 

[Moobabe]

That was kind of depressing; I think Robert Ashley had a section on the preservation of an MMO after closure on A Life Well Wasted that resonates with this.

 

[SPACECADET]

not like that

 

[firehawk12]

I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't post all 2-3 hours or whatever. :lol

Just finished watching the GiantBomb coverage. Was quite sad at the end. =/

Quick Look for the New Xbox Experience Update:

[Cday]

I bet if Brad went to My Xbox his avatar would be holding it. Seems like props would only show if either you or someone else looks at your profile.
