9.13.09 marked the Sea Snipers second official guide signing at the midnight release of Halo Reach. Another great event for us. Only Rator and Midnight got to host the events but we had tournaments running, free giveaways from Halo Encyclopedias and guides to shirts and Halo Reach Action Figures. We saw a lot of the same faces from the MW2 release which was fun and met lots of great new people too. We always get lots of questions about how we got into the business and what it's like to work on these guides and we're always happy to answer. We really appreciate all of the support from our fans and supporters and hope that the work we put into these guides really helps you the players. I met a guy who asked if I wrote the MW2 guide then proceeded to tell me that what we wrote, won him $6,000 in tournaments! That's cool. That's why we do it. If what we wrote didn't help anyone, we wouldn't do it. We raffled off some of our swag and awarded some of it to tournament winners or trivia contest winners and want to thank Microsoft and Brady Games for the gear they provided, everyone loved everything, thanks guys! Big thanks to Game Stop, Brady Games, the Sea Snipers who went out of their way to to put in their time to do these events across the country, and especially all of the fans who showed up. You guys rock! Thanks to Ben Loomis of the Exton PA GameStop who always runs a stellar event, Corrine and Tyler from Microsoft for the swag they sent us, and Mike Degler from Brady Games for sending us boxfulls of goodies to give away too. Thanks again to everyone and see you all online! -[SS]Rator |
