Episode 4 contains a sizeable interview with Bungie’s KP – lots of ‘favorite’ questions, user-submitted questions, Bungie questions, all mixed in with general abuse of KP… good stuff. Well over an hour, 43 mb. KP shows up about 15 minutes in. (Louis Wu…

    Wow – it’s been a while since our last mention of Tied the Leader… but boy howdy is there a lot of new content there. (No, I don’t use that expression very often. No, I didn’t get it from the TTL crowd. It just seemed appropriate.) Interviews (2), Clan Profiles (2), link roundups for folks…

    Let’s face it: if the Halo 3 Public Beta is our new Great Journey, then the Prophet of Truth is a liar, because some of us are going to be left behind. Not everybody who wants to can get in. If everybody could get in, there’d be no difference between the beta test and actually…

    That quote from Chris Butcher just won’t die, even though Bungie addressed it in the most recent Bungie Weekly Update – but Stuntmutt shows why it might not matter so much in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 20:15:25 UTC)

There’s something amazing about being able to create artwork that looks this good with a tool like Paint… (I could do without the soundtrack, though.) Update: here’s the second part of the drawing. Thanks, newDeviLedeT1.(Louis Wu 18:43:35 UTC)

    Years ago, Mike Miller created ‘Legend’, and a followup, ‘Legend 2’ – these were basically Halo 1 campaign montages showing some really elegant gameplay at Legendary difficulty – the trick wasn’t so much the difficulty, but the style with which the gameplay was performed.
