Well ThumbPad readers, I was lucky enough to be sent to a Microsoft event this past week and I gotta tell you, it was pretty damn good. I got to see Halo: Reach in action as well as play a bit of the Firefight mode, see some Kinect being played before my eyes, as well as listen to Buzz Aldrin. What the second man on the moon was doing here to promote a video game I have no real idea... But I'm not complaining. It was an interesting night which I'll now tell you about and I took quite a few pictures. Unfortunately I'm a terrible photographer.
