Looking (way) down the road
Silly me, thinking that coming up for air once meant things would level out a little… While you’re waiting for the return of our regularly scheduled events, check out this article at Bloomberg. Bonnie Ross is the focus of a piece on women in gaming, and while there are a number of interesting parts, what stood out to me was a comment she made about the goals of the studio with respect to the life of the Halo franchise. I posted this on our forum a couple of days ago, and the discussion’s been pretty lively – join in! (Louis Wu 23:33:30 UTC)

Podtacular 455: Gods of the Damned
Halo: Nightfall had some high anticipation going for it when announced that 343 would be working with Ridley Scott to produce the origin story for Agent Locke, who will be a prominent character in the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians. While it was a pretty good production, it didn’t live up to the standards of Forward Unto Dawn, which told the origin story for Thomas Lasky. It received mixed reviews from many of the Halo fans, with the opening episode leaving much to be desired. With all 5 episodes of the series out, we give our opinions and thoughts on Halo: Nightfall.

Drinking Games Ep 5 – Screen Watchers
Once upon a time, we let you know about a group called TeamSexy (most of the posts were in 2003 and 2004, though there’ve been a few references to SexyJosh in the following five years) – they liked Halo, a lot. Recently, they’ve been hosting a series called Drinking Games, and in honor of the release of The Master Chief Collection, they devoted an episode to Halo. I found it pretty entertaining. Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:14:00 UTC)
