The Hal Halpin thread

[Thefremen]

So why not have a Hal Halpin thread? I think the Q&A went well today, and answered most of my questions (exceptions being when will that ps3 drawing will take place and if the Halpin bros took on the Waschowski bros in a team dm game of ut2k4 who would win).

I hope more people join the ECA, it's much better idea than joining PETA after all.

Great idea!

:D

That was an excellent session (http://gamepolitics.com/2007/01/19/ask-hal-halpin-today-on-gamepolitics/) with GP readers and Hal yesterday...

I'm definitely joining the ECA after I get a job and make some money, after getting myself a new computer of course >.>

Okay, so about 2025, then?

I'll tell Hal to keep the light on for you...

Hey Guys. I've been trying to make time to read through Comments on GP and Threads here in Forums, and I have to say that I'm regularly blown-away by great feedback (both of the constructive and complimentary types) and sense of humor of our members and GP/GC readers.

One of the nicest names I've been called was leveled by "Simon Roberts" in a post related to by brief participation on that CBS spot last week, where he called me the Highlander! Hey, I'll take that one! And it's a lot better than a few years ago where there was a whole discussion about my old hairstyle - which had mixed reviews ;) So to answer the question, I'm 38 - born September 1, 1969.

As for the not-aging... I wish that were the case! It is something that I hear often from colleagues in the business now that I think about it, but that's likely to due to the aforementioned sticking with the same haircut for a long time. :)

I don't believe it's been announced yet, but I'll be doing a Q&A at PAX in August with Geoff Keighley - so I'm sure there'll be a lot more of my secrets exposed.

OK, back to answering media questions about GTA and helping ECA master the universe! Thanks again for the kind words.


-Hal.
