HL2 Marketing Project - THE AFTERMATH!

[blade 24/7 365]

Well it was 24 hours ago that I did the fabled HL2 Marketing speech, as a benchmark we were told that it shold be 10 min long, mine was 41 min ! My tutor told me afterwards that it was very good and that he thaught that the best part of my project was the reaserch, and as they say in the movies 'I owe it all to you guys!'! Without your help and cooperation i would not have been able to create such a large portfolio (honestly you should see the thickness of it! :naughty: :naughty: ) and convert so many young people to the way of Half Life & Half Life 2.
So heres my official list of thanks:
Valve, for sending me stuff as examples of marketing
The forum users of HalfLife2.net, for the excelent respnces for my survey and questions!
My parents, for bringing me into the world
My pet Dog, for being so intimidating, it stopped my mim harrasing me
God, for being great
and final, and most importantly...
ME!, for being that damm great! :naughty: :naughty:



Ok,ok the dog and me were jokes (hell i dont even have a Dog!?!).
Now onto the matter of rewards, as promised in my last marketing threads i wanted to reward you all. As stated before i got some stuff from Valve, I wish to spread the joy so, here we go:
To win a unknown prize to you (and me) i want you to state what you think i found out about the target audience of Half Life from my reaserch, in these catagories:
Age range
Gender
Hours of gameplay a day
Played Half Life 1?

PM me your entries, you have just 7 days to do this, last call comes at 4:00PM GMT on Friday 2nd July 2004. so get those entry coming in!
Dont worry if you dont win, there will be a general reward for everyone to make sure i reward everyone!
Good Luck!! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

well done with your project.

marketing is one of those things on the interphase between art and science
and needs both creativity and skill

(says me hoping I'll win now )

Gender male
Hours of gameplay a day 3
Played Half Life 1? yes
