Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I figured WP and Jen Taylor fans would be happy about this:

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
I don't get these 'Reap X' vehicles, lol:
Is it something Mega Bloks is making up, or is it canon from 343?
Subtle, but I could see it.
Too squarish, I think
Yeah I believe it's only for Xbox One. Signed up, hopefully I get in. It's rumored to start as early as tomorrow.
It was created to allow more set's to come from the licencing agreement:
This might seem a bit personal but, what is is like working at the Carnegie museum?
343i is cooking too much stuff at the same time.
I understand that when you intend to sell toys/books/comics/Tv series in addition to games, you need a perspective on design that has to be broad.
The notion of of big, expansive Halo Universe is ... a lie.
343i is rushing its design decisions to meet deadlines and be able to support a wide array of products.
Puts $60 for a game in perspective though.

HOLY SHIT YES.
Seriously voice commands on Xbox spoiled me. I never want to touch things again, seem so counter productive. Can't wait to just leave my phone in my pocked while walking and say "Bing, call my Mother, put on speaker" and never have to pull out my phone.
Also Jen Taylor. Really hope she talks in Cortana's voice.

I never know whether to cry or laugh everytime you post.
But you do entertain me with your naivety. Carry on.

I just want to mention how bad that update bulletin was.
"we played swat BTB wiith you guys! it was fun! BUY OUR BOOK, BUY OUR FAKE LEGOS"
(Insert picture of frankie and kiki and microsoft higherups milking a cow with a Master Chief helmet on)
"we played swat BTB wiith you guys! it was fun! BUY OUR BOOK, BUY OUR FAKE LEGOS"
(Insert picture of frankie and kiki and microsoft higherups milking a cow with a Master Chief helmet on)
The Forerunners designed the Halos to be opened for business 24/7.
I haven't read a bulletin in months. Well, fully anyway. I liked it when bsangel wrote them
...
Can't believe they're actually serious with that Mortal Dictata cover. It's awful.
actually. it fits right in with how I expect that book to turn out. Can't wait to read 400 pages of Halsey hating and clones are bad on tuesday

Why did they use Noble 6's helmet for that cover?
Isn't it Naomi's helmet? I can't even remember.
...
Anyone know what's up with the iTunes version of the book? Just noticed that it still says it is expected to be released on the 1st of Feb. Not going to bother getting it from there if I have to wait longer than everyone else

This is a joke right? Please tell me its a joke.
So many joke's so little time. Are you really that enthusiastic for every Microsoft product?
The helmet on the mortal dictata is Naomi's, she has armor that has the same aesthetics as mark V b.

wow
I know at least three people going into journalism or marketing (which is often a part of the journalism school), like, my brother.
I still don't know what I want to major it. I'd love to major in game design, but I've never actually found a school that has a good course for it. My brother tried at one school and was literally responsible, as a student, for rewriting the course. It was that bad, and this was at the largest non-public college in the state.
I'm also interested in film as well, and film schools are significantly more refined.
But then that is super expensive.

It has to be her, she is on the mission
of capturing her own father
Welp, kids are more and more comfortable of using tablets and sticks instead of buttons and pads.
Thank you

It's a wash really since taxes are really usually a lot lower than other places. I like being able to be control of my money personally.

Curious guys, why would you assume I'm joking or being naive?
In all honesty, voice commands are really productive and really effective, and from my use of them on the Xbox One, they're much better than any other form of control, assuming the voice recognition actually works. It's a lot faster, and it allows for better multitasking, and I honestly don't see a downfall.
I'm serious when I saw this, since November I don't know where my TV remote is. I don't need it anymore. Saying Xbox One simply turns everything on, and I can just "Xbox, Volume Up/Down/Mute" to do that.
Overall, the entire "always listening" system worms better than the "wait 5 seconds, hold a button down, then speak" system most phones have right now. It's really nice to just be able to say "Bing, _____" and perform a task while your phone stays in your pocket, and you continue walking, writing, working, whatever.
Also, add a little extra excitement just cause, you know, I like Halo and it's codenamed after Halo's Cortana and it's officially being voiced by the real Cortana now (which, when this leaked months ago, I even said on WindowsPhoneGAF that I would love for Jen Taylor to voice this)
But then again, your talking to a guy who plans to buy a Smartwatch and GoogleGlass this year, so overall I just get excited for new technology anyways.
So who do I report it to then
?It's not exactly hard to find but thank you anyway

So the new Halo Bulletin has a small thing on Mortal Dictata. The last part of it is a bit interesting.
My guess:
My guess:
Admiral Cole, 343 Guilty Spark, and wherever the Forerunners ran off to. Boom.

And yet this is 60% of the problem. It's not faster if you have to give the command 3 times for it to get through. The other 40% is that it's faster for repetitive actions to press a button than say that action every time. Click click click instead of "XBOX next list, XBOX next list, XBOX next list," which is why I start netflix (on my with 360) with Kinect, but then switch to a controller to actually browse most of the time.
The problem with phones in particular is that they're always with you and if they are always listening there's way more opportunity for error. You're going to end up accidentally binging all kinds of shit during the day.
Because that one time you said you didn't like No Man's Sky because the graphics weren't good enough.
I'm tempted to read that... but then again I tend to steer clear of those "previews". They usually end just as things get exciting and then you have to wait forever until the book comes out (I'm the kind of person that will start reading a book and won't put it down until I'm finished completely).
I read through the whole thing, it's not that interesting it doesn't tell us anything. Personally it's boring as well to boot not exactly encouraging.

Black Box maybe
Working on the show notes for HaloGAF Radio Episode 18. So far for news I've got Mortal Dictata and Team Slayer Season 1 coming to close next week. I haven't read any of the Karen Traviss novels I don't really think I could hold on a conversation about that. However, there's a lot of meat in the Team Slayer Top 200 stuff.
Any other news? I won't be recording until the weekend or early next week so we might get good news until then.
