Hey guys,
I met up with Shyguy after the first round of the Omegathon. Nice guy, ironically though, not shy. Hmmm....false advertising perhaps? Special thanks for tracking me down. Hope to see you again next year.
I did make it to the finals and lost in Halo 3. Having never played Halo before, I thought I put on a good show. You guys can probably find videos roaming around youtube if your interested in seeing how I did. The good news is that I'm automatically entered into next years tournament and I'm supposed to get a nice chunk of credit on a gift card. Oh, I also got to keep the sword, a Wakizashi, that Tycho gave me on stage. The shorter sword of the paired Daisho, the Wakizashi is also known as the "Honor Blade" due to it's use in the decapitating of defeated foes in an honorable fashion.
Here's some more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WakizashiI'm actually liking the parallel of defeating next years Omeganauts in an honorable fashion. If I get to the finals next year and win, I will pass on the Wakizashi to the losing Omeganaut. Hopefully, it will become a time honored tradition.
