It’s about time to talk about everybody’s future favorite game again. This time we’re covering a wide gamut of stuff. Here are some suggestions for things to send in for the show:

1. What do you think of the price hike for the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 to $130? Which edition do you plan to buy?
2. Which are you more excited about: The fiction and art book from the limited edition, or the storyboard art and master chief helmet in the Legendary edition?
3. What do you think of the new Bungie.net? What do you like or dislike about it? Have you found any new secret corners Halo fans would be interested in?
4. How do you think Halo 3 will end? Any ideas on the storyline?
5. If you were a designer for Halo 3, what else would you put in the game? Think of things like maps, weapons, game types, vehicles, or other features. Get creative!
6. What is your favorite color?

Got an opinion on one of these or something else Halo 3 related? Let us know! Just click submit news and tips on the right side of the screen and send it on in with your gamertag so we can forever immortalize it in podcast history. It takes like two seconds. Deadline is Thursday night at about 5:30pm and the earlier you send it, the more likely we’ll read it on the show. Now’s your chance, so get typin’!

As reported by rapture here the Shadowrun Non Disclosure Agreement has been lifted allowing the beta testers to fully talk about the game without worrying about getting a lawsuit slapped on them. This comes soon after a not so smart beta tester decided to break the NDA and post a video of himself playing the game on youtube. The genius also forgot to blur out his gamertag. As I currently understand, videos are still under NDA, but people can now talk about the game without restrictions. Whether or not the lifting of the NDA is related to the video leak is not known, but it doesn’t matter since the cat is already out of the bag. Now, does anybody have some cool things you’d like to share (ahem…) about your experience with the game so far? I’m pretty interested in this game from what I’ve seen of it, but discussion has been limited because of the NDA. I do know that a whole bunch of people are registered for the beta invite, and many more will be invited in the near future.

On the new version of www.Bungie.net we are now able to see our total stats. I was able to copy and paste my stats for all to see. Let’s see what you’re made of.
