Halo 2 fans defy reality

Here's an odd one for you:

It seems despite Microsoft no longer supporting the original Xbox Live game servers, some die-hards Halo 2 fans are still playing.

For over 10 days now since the switch off on April 15th, a group of 20 or so have been playing the game by simply not turning off their Xbox's.

Some have been dropping out due to things like net troubles or over-heating, and are unable to re-join, but there are still a few who remain.

Perhaps this reporter has simply misunderstood what "ending support" actually means... but how can gamers still be connected to something that isn't supposed to exist anymore?

Spooky.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Makes sense. With the PC many new "instructions" from M$ and the Game Devs themselves don't not come into effect until a re-boot or shut down. Pretty extreme gamers, if you ask me. Might be a World Record in the making.
