Less than twenty-four hours, actually, but I couldn't resist quoting the greatest punk band of all-time, so forgive the mathematical inconsistency and let's jump ahead to the point...

Tomorrow; as in the day after right now, Halo: Reach will finally, officially, be out in the wild. That means...

Firefight! That means Forge!
That means Campaign!
Slayer!
Invasion!
Armor Abilities!
AR vs. DMR!
That means Noble Team - Carter, Kat, Jorge, Jun, Emile, Six!
It means the death of a planet.
The rise of heroes.
It means a whole lotta this...

It means Sssppppaaaaacccceeee Ccooommmbbbbaaatt!

It means more things than my fingers feel like typing.

It also means there are going to be midnight launch sales across the globe, so check the gaming retailers in your area to see who's gonna be open as today becomes tomorrow, so you can grab your copy and sprint, jetpack or roll your way home, tear open the plastic-wrapped cage that contains its awesomeness, slide the disc into your box and feast upon whichever of the kick-ass features you want to dive into first. You've waited a long time to witness Reach's fall, but the wait's just about done.

See you online.
