I imagine testing a game like P4 would be exhausting. It's one thing to play a Halo level 50 times a day while checking for bugs. P4 is easily a 100 hour game with so many different choices - must be maddening.

haha yeah. the hours were insane and the amount of different conversations you can get from a single NPC almost killed us all! the thing that saved us was that it was an amazing game.

We went in as girls and boys and left men and women...

Back On Topic:

Any one think we'll have another Race to the Finish type ending? I enjoyed the fact that we finished the fight the same way we started it. I felt like a little throw back to those that followed the series since the beginning.

I'm afraid Bungie is showing to much of Reach. By the time it's out we are going to know too much about the game.

I'm afraid i do'nt agree. they've shown very little but the speculation and theories have been running rampant. I want to know more!

You should post in the P4 thread. There are a lot of people there who would like to hear your stories. Red Scarlet will probably marry you.

I would assume this is supposed to be VISR mode? Either way, that's incredibly sexy.

Got no clue what it is but it is apart of the new photos from toyfare on 1up. Sadly they don't have a wall thumbnails, you actually have to shift through 78 photos individually.

I like my connection. I can pull host a lot in MW2, which is good if you want to get kills. Alas, my connections for PC games is through my router, and I've not got the means to open more ports for it besides the Xbox Live ones I opened at the beginning.

Doing some re-reading of The Fountainhead. Did anybody else notice that there is a Catherine Halsey in both that and the Halo Universe? And that they are, in essence, opposites?

i had a halo related dream last night ("NERD!")

bungie went on to make a new trilogy following the mc and cortana after the halo 3 legendary ending. this new trilogy was distanced from halo, and had a new name (which i forget), and different gameplay. in a lot of ways it was presented like mass effect, with loads of character interaction and dialogue like an rpg, but also action packed "halo-esque" battles that could switched (by the user?) between first and third person.

anywho, it was super rad. i blame my week off from work and my ME2 marathon that ensued M-F.

343, get Bioware to start on this ASAP. They are the only people we can trust we a project like this. Bungie does the shooters, Bioware the Shooter/RPGs.

Pretty awesome information free update. urk does have a talent. He is feeding us little teasers, small bits of audio, and what is essentially a travelogue of his roaming around the office. It'd be really sweet to see Max Dyckhoff's Most Amazing Show on Reach, but for now we are left to salivate over our keyboards. 200 dudes...

Good job urk. You make your ancestors proud.

Sweet update. The voice clips sound awesome. Good to see Grifball being a standard gametype now.

After going and listening to Flight of the Bumblebee, my guess is that the scene urk witnessed was comically sped up. Here's to hoping that some hilariously fast footage shows up in a vidoc.

They didn't play for me in Chrome, so I re-opened them in Firefox. Try changing your browser, see if that works.

Playing Living Dead. Makes me feel like I'm good at Halo :D

Great update. That Avatar bit had me chuckling. Still not sure what role that pistol has in the sandbox. The only reason I can think of it existing is to give Bungie an excuse for making us scour maps for DMRs.

Yeah, I hope they work it into Skirmish.

If Kapura's suggestion doesn't work, try 'em at HBO, instead (no clue WHY they work in Chrome at HBO and not B.net, but they do).

I think it has something to do with Silverlight. I remember reading that somebody had to install it to hear the clips. Odd, because other silverlight applications work in chrome.

You guys have such horrible uploads, holy fucking crap!

And I am sure the majority of all Halo players are the same too, no wonder games lag!
