Robert Rodriguez says nice things about Halo
goCHIEFgo noticed an interview with Robert Rodriguez at IGN – and one of the questions had the director waxing poetic about Halo.“My 12-year-old was playing the original Halo again on campaign. He was like, “This is so cool.” Just watching Master Chief step out for the first time, and seeing him relive that for the first time. He probably never really played it like that. It’s amazing seeing how it still works cinematically after 10 years. It goes to show good storytelling will never go out of style. In fact, that’s what’s needed in movies today. Storytelling needs to be even better than ever because that’s how people are absorbing stories now, is through interactive.”
Great thoughts – and you should be getting more chances to look at exactly what he’s talking about in the next couple of days! (Louis Wu 08:11:11 UTC)

One hour, and one hour only
As you might expect, the Halo Bulletin published 2 days before Halo Fest starts is pretty focused on… well, Halo Fest. You should read it. Really. (It’s in our Halo Bulletin Archive, too.)(Louis Wu 03:25:38 UTC)

HBO: We’ve Got Your Booty Covered
The irony is not lost on me that I might be the one making a mention of someone posting something that’s already been reported. With that said, two of HBO’s more veteran members engaged in a bit of forum play in their efforts to report the new website launch for Crimson: Steam Pirates from Bungie Aerospace and Hairbrained Schemes. The upcoming iPad game looks to be an absolute blast, and is getting a lot of people excited. So much in fact that both Mid7night and Hedgemony let us know about it. Technically, Mid7night posted it first, but Hedge is Australian, which means he lives in the future already, so maybe he wins. Either way, check out Crimson!(GrimBrother One 15:29:03 UTC)
