TLDR: The cancel mob thinks they've won.
Earlier this year, I got a phone call from legendary Halo composer Marty O'Donnell to ask me if I thought I could get ahold of some old school Xboxes. Like... A LOT of them. Not knowing if I could, I went ahead and said yes.
Since then, we've been planning an epic Halo LAN party.
Couches? Dukes? OG Xboxes? Yes.
A guest list that includes OG Bungie Halo developers? Yes!
Mountain Dew Game Fuel? No. Apparently they don't make that any more.
We secured an amazing venue and had a great plan. The venue staff were all in and understood the vision. They geeked out on the call and asked Marty fan questions.
...until something changed very suddenly.
Somebody got in touch with the venue and they backed out on us over political affiliation and the fact that Marty is running for U.S. Congress in Nevada's 3rd district.
I've got to say, that story sounds a little too familiar to me. All we want to do is play games the way they are intended to be played and celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest games ever made on as close to original hardware as possible.
Look, I can't even vote for Marty. (I would if I could). I don't even live in his district. But I know that when this event happens (wherever it happens) it is going to be legendary.

Finish the Fight!
Core memories: UNLOCKED.
To celebrate 25 years, we asked fans at XBOX FanFest Los Angeles to share their favorite memories with us. If you're coming to @gamescom#XBOXFanFest, stop by our memory booth to share your stories!
@tanomuzeA I had the privilege of living in Okinawa for four years. The people there are some of the most respectful, polite, and honorable I’ve ever met. Their traditions and history are truly admirable, and the island’s natural beauty is perfectly reflected in the character of its people.
