Its the master of pokemon here to talk about some of the big things that are going on; Halo Legends and Halo Waypoint(they are the only ones that i know about because i spend too much online in Halo 3). Halo Legends, I think is bad for Halo. I was a pokemon fan(if you couldnt tell before)and I think that anime for a FPS is a bad thing. It just doesn’t seem right. I strongly disagre with the FPS anime because it usually ends up being bad. Moving on to Waypoint, it seems like it took way too long to be created. Waypoint will be one of my fav parts about the 360(halo 3 is one of the few things that beats it). I just hope that the whole overdose of halo things in the news wont make me like it less. Maybe the anime and the Waypoint will actually make me like it more. Well im going to drop out now because I feel that this is super long and I dont want to type much more because its almost 1 am for me(I dont like Indiana). So im going to leave with a simple “KOFT”.

Hey guys itz teh funnehboi, tuggen inn onn teh failebooat. Well enough gooooofin around, I honestly think that if 343 has their way with master cheif (whoops that’s sexual) theyr going to totaly destroy halo, and everything bunjie has worked hard for. The way I see it. 343productions thinks that because they own master cheif, if they don’t give the name to bungie, they can make a random game involving mc,and all the little halo nerds (and duststorm) will go out and buy right away. Then, even if it’s a game similarto peggle, they’ll get a huge profit. But, bungie pulled a sneak attack by make halo: reach, a halo game that has nothing to do with master cheif.because of that, 343 needs to find a creative way to put mc into their own storyline. But, if bungie can keep a steady flow of halo games, 343 won’t be able to make anygames, they’ll slowly fall apart, and soon bungie can just buy mc’s name, and then they can start making mc games again. I pretty much have the next 5years planned out in my head. No where in those years will dusty get a girlfreind(haha just kidding buddy :D) Lancelot will try to legaly marry garrys mod, and I…eh who cares. Well, shoutouts to dusty chuckie fishy razza 119 Lancelot for helping me hook up halflife and tf2, slipknot for giving me night mares, and as always keep on fraggin…ya know what? Let’s mix things up a bit today. Keep on fraggin annoying spycheckers who light the entire team on fire trying to find the one spy that’s already stealing the breifcase. And of course, no ones there to stop him because the spychecker lit us all on fire and we died(ya, this actualy happened) this is funnboy78, sighning out, and signing into steam, peace

stallmeplease

Hey guys it is the official watch stealer of podtacular,stallmeplease, and I would just like the quickly state that I think that the new 343 studios is a good thing. It will allow bungie to grow to do bigger and better things.
Keep on fraggin uber l33t pwner for stealing my arms so i cant steal watches

moose0030

Bonjour (French for hello) all of Podtacular-land, this is moose0030 from the Great not-so-white White North here to bring you some of my great thoughts and opinions. First off I will start off with the Halo anime Halo Legends. I think this will help spread Halo word in areas that may not like North American shooter like Japan and Asia. The next big news was that the Halo Chronicles project was cancelled which is good and bad news. It’s good because this means that Hollywood can’t ruin Halo. The bad is that we’ll never know what the movie could have been and if it could have been the first good videogame movie. Some more news is the announcement that Halo: Reach will be Bungie’s last Halo game. Again this story has both upside and downside for Halo FPS fans aka all of us it’s bad because that means some other developer like Gearbox will make another FPS or they will have spread to other genres like Halo Wars did. All I’m sayin is Halo Hero (Guitar Hero) or Viva Halo (Viva Piñata). The good news is a new IP for Bungie which I think will help distinguish themselves as a great developer instead of the Halo guys. It also means another good Bungie franchise. The last piece of news is Halo Waypoint. All I can say is yippeeeeee! Actually I’m not that excited but I think it will be cool. The only fact that confuses me is why this wasn’t announced and confirmed at E3. The only reason I can think of is not enough time at E3. So there you go now can don’t have to listen to whoever is reading which will read what ever I say apple sauce and captain porpoise. Keep on fraggin the trucks who are transporting stallmeplease and his clones on there way to Dust Storm’s house which is used as Naynay’s HQ.

Ok well this is my take.

The halo anime is a stupid idea. They should have continued with the movie itself it looked good.

With the whole different director thing that just seems weird and esspecially with how the animation will look different.

Keep on fraggin’ everyone cause they must bowdown to me… The king of maccas

This is the king going offline

TheSlayerMayor

Hello it is the SlayerMayor. I can’t wait for Halo Legends to come out. It seems like it will have a great story behind it. I don’t have much to say about halo waypoint because it will probably be restricted to gold members on xbox live. Halo Reach will be great because it is made by bungie and bungie is awesome. Speaking of new announcements, there will be a new series of books called “Forerunner Trilogy” set to be released in 2010. Lastly I have a question. Did anyone on the podcast get halo helljumpers and what did you think of it?
