For the first time, I feel as though I wasted my time reading the update.


You actually read the updates?

All I do is read the headlines, and if it's interesting, skim read.

But mainly, I just look at the pictures.

It could have been better... I was disappointed.

This comment could have been better... I was disappointed.


You cant deny the fact that as a fan, these recent updates have been less then stellar. Most of the stuff is just in-jokes and other esoteric topics about fellow employees. It may be funny do you, but to me its just another lack-luster update filled to the brim with nothing of use to me.


An update that includes over 2 hours of podcast is anything but useless.


Does the podcast mention when the Mythic maps are due out? Or describe the maps themselves? If not, it IS useless.


They do talk about the mythic maps but they just say that all six maps are done, they are ready to be shipped but they dont know when! the majority of bungie wants the maps out the door as soon as possible.......but at the end off the day the decision to announce release dates etcetera rests mainly with the publisher, not with bungie!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Short and sweet with lots of pics...

Just the way I like it Luke!

Where's the Mister Chief again?

Those Forge pictures were amazing. Even after spending a ton of time working on maps in Forge, I doubt I'd have the patience to do anything like those pictures.

The Webmaster pictures were great as well. I really want one of those gravity hammers. If I could get one, I could go as the Webmaster next year for Halloween and scare the crap out of everyone.

And thanks for the Podcasts (even if they gave me the WORST lag yesterday when I was trying to play Living Dead while downloading them,) they gave me plenty of entertainment on an otherwise long and boring 3 hour drive. Permission to use "pump their butts" in the Pregame Lobby, Luke?

No one can complain until they've listened to the podcasts.


Why must I be forced to listen to the podcast to learn of any information of real interest? I don't understand why any information from a podcast can't simply be posted here.

I find it strange that the podcast is being featured so prominently when it is the one thing on Bnet that is treated like a red-headed stepchild. The podcast is not released on a regular basis; it's only released when time and interest by Bungie's employees permits, and its publisher allows, which is fine. But I find it silly to ask people to chew up bandwidth (so much so that they had to host it off of this site) and clog up storage space simply to learn information that can be easily posted here.


Yes, God forbid you actually have to do something to learn something, not just have it splattered on a screen for you. Many people like the podcasts, myself included, and they provide an excellent look not only into the Bungie Products, but the actual people behind them. You can't get tone and inflection from looking at something on a screen nearly as well as you can from an actual audio file. And how much space is it really going to take up? Listen to it, then when you're ready, simply delete it. Lazy.....


It's not about my "doing something." It's a matter of time. I don't have the time to listen to a 60-90 min podcast which is mostly filled with mindless banter with a few tidbits of information about the game in there. All the "good stuff" could easily posted here on Bnet in text, with links to pictures or other media.

Wow, what a bunch of whiny little babies.

I, for one, would like to thank Bungie, particularly Luke and Brian, for producing and hosting the podcast. I thoroughly enjoy listening.

Also, please feel free to get a life if you're so worried about when the new maps will come out that you need to complain about it CONSTANTLY.

Wait...In the E3 Podcast, why did Joe say Recon will be out Winter?
Because that was recorded over 4 months ago... Back when Recon was meant to be announced 6 weeks earlier than it was. The schedule has changed since then.

I know that games can be put off, but by a year?? All I want to know is what happend..

Did anyone else have around 15 minutes of dead air at the end of the lost show?
Yeah I was wondering about that as well - either way it was a fun show!
