Heh, I'm on my ninth xbox headset now. 3 standard wired got stepped on, 2 standard wired got chewed up by my puppy, 1 standard wireless got chewed up also, 1 standard wireless went through the wash (okay, that one was my fault) and my limited edition Halo 3 wireless got chewed up by my puppy.

Reach's default will probably resemble Bumper Jumper. As long as I can get the True Halo Default layout, I'm fine.

Also, part 2 of my "Haters gonna hate" series is up on my youtube. It features a very angry MLG player who is mad because I went +18 on his ass on Narrows Slayer.. He is the definition of butthurt. Enjoy!

:lol :lol :lol How? Did it just rip straight off? Either that's a really shitty headset or a monsterous vacuum cleaner.

Don't underestimate vacuum cleaners, man. I had one eat my mic's wire just a few weeks ago.

Mine is like a frackin' black hole. It'll easily pick up my game cases, and can drag a controller around on the floor but it can't rip the wire off of my mics, sucks it up fine but won't rip off.

I guess its just a weak wire then cause it popped off like a twig in a tornado.

I think my headset is worth more than my vacuum, so I would be pretty furious is that happened to me. :lol

Finished the podcast. Jay seemed like a really cool dude, and there were some interesting tidbits about some of the audio changes in Reach. Brian's rant post-credits was also pretty funny. Hopefully we'll see the sandbox design pairing if not in the ostensibly "March" podcast, the one after that.

But wtf was up with like 4 minutes of silence after the end of the podcast? I was hoping for something else, but there was nothing. Are you guys just trying to boost the podcast time by adding extended pauses? I'm butthurt because I had nothing better to do than listen and see if there was anything. There wasn't.

Podcast summary: Ivan Ives may be making a new podcast opening, they don't talk about anything related to the Multiplayer trailer, and the only "new" content they extrapolate is the sound design system. Still pretty interesting.

Edit: from the twitters:

Did I hear "Sit down Mr Vociferous" at 28:40 :lol

Arent Coco and Voc part of 343, if theyre at Bungie studios are they just playtesting or are they doing more. Hmm.

Edit: Ah I get it, Luke must have killed him in the Beta

And Grunts not speaking English, NOOOOOOOO!

The podcast was great, I enjoy the short and sweetness of the new format. That whole thing about the Organic soda was great. Also, any ETA on the Gaf Montage, thanks again to all who's involved.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The dumpster behind 343i. David Ellis wore it to work on his first day, but had to discard it after he found out he couldn't fit in his cubicle. That and it didn't offer the mobility needed to accurately fetch Cocop his coffee.

Whenever I hear that, my gut wrenches as I'm reminded of, dare I say...
CMT

But I digress, I don't think that the masterpiece known as "Halo: CE" should be touched for another 10 years. Maybe then, computational power of Consoles (and PCs) will allow for a "Halo: CE" so real and truly deserving the title of "Halo: CE", that, well... you'd have to see it to believe it.

I can, will dream.

PC version uses the Xbox 360 controller, it runs on any kind of computer, and there is even mods that make it look better than Halo 2.

Click to expand...
I'm a fan of this. It feels more natural, despite going from Halo 3 back to Halo 2 and reloading with X. The armor ability being LB also seems better fit in the corner rather than X, like equipment in Halo 3.

Hey guys, just wanted to thank everyone for the warm wishes. I did get to bring my son home, kind of bittersweet, they did a sweat test on him and he was very salty, so there's about a 90% chance he has Cystic Fibrosis. Just gonna roll with the punches from here on out I guess, just glad he's home with us really.

The fact that he's back with you is really great news Ram. Cherish every moment with him, the power of positive thinking can really make a difference. Hope it all works out brother. You'll be in my prayers.

Keep us posted, will you?



I'm at college so i can't listen to the podcast. Could someone please sum it up for me?

Here's a rough summary, sorry if I missed anything as I'm super tired and braindead right now:
-Jay Weinland was the guest on this episode.
-Basically the sound system has been overhauled with new improvements.
- The guys didn't discuss anything about the trailer in great detail due to this being recorded before trailer being revealed.
-Brian and Urk looked at blueprints of new building. The new digs are apparently huge and the currently Kirkland place could fit into a 3rd of the new place. There will be no hot tub for sweaty dudes to relax in. The future place will have great new podcast room with a couch and will be in the front of the building so future guest can be external to the studio.
-New grenade sound is suppose to be awesome. When explosion is close to you, there is a deafing effect.
-New audio programmer made everything really cool
-The multiplayer announcer recorded the announcements for Reach with Luke, Urk and Jay(audio guru). Funny gems and out-takes will be on B-net soon™
-Ske7ch is slacking on his Vitamin intake due to Northwestern hippies denying him of his vitamin water.
-Luke is still out BR'in or DMR'in Voc. in play tests.
-The Alpha/Internal Beta is coming along pretty good, the Bungie guys are crunching at all hours of the night, parking lot is full 24/7.
-Marty had one giant two-week long recording session while this podcast was being recorded, thus he couldn't interrupt this podcast with his shenanigans.
-Jay went into how the language spoken by the covy is an actually real language Bungie has invented.
-They said jokingly how November will have 6 podcasts- but this might indicate a ship-date being in November. (This is speculation for sure)

Actually, that would be an excellent thing for Microsofts new internal Halo studio to do. Make a new engine for the Xbox 720 and remake CE with it, as a learning process. Launch game. That would bu fuck awesome.

So the podcast pretty confirms brutes are in the game as well.

They clearly said they were recording grunts, elites and brutes voices.

Firefight (or whatever it is now) is going to be incredible.

Hell, the game itself is already incredible. And we basically haven't seen anything yet.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be a great chance for the IWHBYD skull to further shine.


Best of luck, Ramirez. I'm happy for you that your son is home.

Hey Mr. Urk, any chance we can get a water update in this weeks update? Or maybe have Franky give a little special guest paragraph on his Halo: Reach water experiences. Water and weekly updates have something magical about them that I miss.

Edit: Really??? I didn't remember someone shooting a dead Spartan in the trailer. :/ At least that is what it looks like to me.
