I’d Say the Article was Incrediblinterestasticing.
SonofMacPhisto wanted to share a rather great article by the incomparable “Yahtzee” from TheEscapistMagazine. His article focuses on what he considers the key cornerstones of an enjoyable gaming experience, something re refers to as Context, Challenge, & Gratification. He uses the ending sequence in Halo: Reach as a moment that felt got it quite right. It’s really a nice read, especially for fans of the video game industry in as a whole, and definitely worth your time. Go and check it out, then stop back by to discuss!(GrimBrother One 22:53:00 UTC)

So THAT’S What Happened to the Rooster
RC Master did his due diligence today by making sure we didn’t miss a very special video from Bungie to Rooster Teeth thanking them for some honey-glazed holiday cheer. You can spell “Happy Holidays” without “Bungie!”. Well, I mean you could, but then they wouldn’t be very happy would they? Just check out the vid…(GrimBrother One 22:41:12 UTC)

A close look at Anniversary’s Terminals
Cody Miller stopped in this weekend with word of a new article, written by Rampancy.net’s Narcogen, on a site dedicated to pointing out some story issues with Halo Anniversary. Narc’s pretty unhappy with the way the new Terminals fit into the game, and while he overstates the problem (the ‘added details’ he laments on the Anniversary viewscreens were, in fact, in the original game), his arguments about how this new information meshes (or doesn’t mesh) with existing information are compelling. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 17:25:38 UTC)
