Come closer.A little closer.Closer.It doesn't matter what 4E actually turns out to be.  Or that Halo 3's graphics are similar to Halo 2.  Or that the fourth Star Wars movie didn't recapture the magic for everyone who saw the first three.It's the event itself that matters.  For the moment, we are all united in our hope, our doubt, and our interest in the hobby we love.  In a sense, speculating about our hobby's future is a hobby unto itself.You don't have to agree with everyone, but ranting about peoples' excitement over a landmark event on a board dedicated to that very excitement seems a bit disingenuous.</blockquote>
