Join Brian, Eric, and Kevin as they nobly perish in Halo Reach (the game this time). Feel free to skip the nerd-session that was Episode 22 and jump straight into the fucking confusing action that is the prequel game to the legendary Halo: Combat Evolved. Is this the tearful goodbye to Bungie after years of Spartans, Elites, and Flood before they moved onto the interpretive pastures of Destiny or the shitty end to a beloved saga as it was handed off to the hellish step-father, 343 Industries? At the end of the day, Halo 2 was better.
We just wanted to clarify a few things:
- Sorry for the late posting. We had a few re-recordings of the episode to make sure that we did justice to the story and gameplay.
- There will be a couple bonus episodes released with this episode. They have little to do with Halo, but for anyone pissed off at the gaming industry for milking the consumer dry, please listen to the micropayment discussion. We have fun endlessly arguing about it and hopefully you will enjoy our debate.
- I (Brian) apologize for the mistakes I made in during the podcast, specifically with regards to Bungie's involvement and the DMR. There really is no excuse. All I can say is that I was half-way through college when this game was released and may have a bit of a blurred memory from that time period due to lack of sleep, energy drinks, studying, and drinking. Please forgive me and feel free to give me shit on Twitter @utterdissent.
We hope to have the next Halo Episode (Halo 1) released sometime in December. There will be a review of the novel First Strike between that and Halo 2 if you are interested in the story behind Master Chief and Johnson returning from the Halo ring to Earth.
