Bungie Talks Reach to Waypoint
This went up yesterday, but there were problems with audio synch – looks like this has been fixed. The Halo Waypoint team interviewed Marcus Lehto and Brian Jarrard (in a funkily-lit space) – the discussion is different from many of the other interviews we’ve seen recently. Looks like cutscenes are going to be scarce (or nonexistent) in Reach! Also, don’t start thinking you’ll be moving around the universe; Brian confirms that the entire game takes place on Reach itself.(Louis Wu 16:30:16 UTC)

I could eat your eyes…
Can you mix love and war? Of course. Swing by Hawty McBloggy’s for a Master Chief decked out for Valentines Day. A little late, but hey – love is timeless!(Louis Wu 14:39:59 UTC)

Brian and Marcus at 1UP, transcribed
Jussy117, of the H3ITWP forum, transcribed the 1UP Podcast interview with Marcus Lehto and Brian Jarrard. Since you have to be a member of the H3ITWP group to read Jussy’s post, squidhands kindly reposted it at NeoGAF, where everyone could read it. Good stuff. (You can listen to it yourself, but it’s not very long, and the podcast is nearly 2 hours.)(Louis Wu 14:39:27 UTC)

Do I get another Christmas break, too?
It’s mid-February, but that doesn’t mean that a Halo-themed Christmas Tree isn’t welcome – this one even has Flame Grenades hung on it! Thanks, Hawty.(Louis Wu 14:38:56 UTC)

Love is in the air
I missed this nsfw-ish video highlighted by (who else?) Hawty McBloggy on Monday – but it’s pretty funny. Can you get jiggy on Xbox LIVE? This song seems to think so…(Louis Wu 14:38:01 UTC)

AH: Jack goes to X10!
Hey guys, you may have noticed I was absent towards the end of last week, if you are curious why, it was because I was out in San Francisco checking out Microsoft’s X10 event. There I got the chance to check out some major upcoming games and interview some pretty big people in the industry. You know what? Why don’t you just watch this video and see for yourself!
Also, keep an ear out for the big exclusive I picked up regarding Halo: Reach!

Podtacular 215: Decade of Games
Download | Shownotes
In the past decade, the gaming scene has changed dramatically. We saw the introduction of the Xbox and Halo, and the main competitors were Nintendo and Sony Entertainment. Graphics has had a dramatic improvement, 3D gaming has become the norm, and game music has evolved from 8-bit to orchestra and all-out rock. For this episode, we venture into our pasts of gaming over the past decade and visit some memorable moments. Former host JVB joins us along with guests ChuckieJ and AceofSpadesCard. We have some nice commentary from ChuckieJ as he goes through his list of big games and Brent has his Top 5 pick of the decade which will accompany this post shortly. Thanks to everyone who submitted their favorites and enjoy.
