Awesome, another Update, Good Job Urk!

  • 10.16.2009 4:02 PM PDT

Thanks for the update Urk. Sorry that you had to put up with Marty for so long to decipher his ramblings... but you translated well and it was well-received. When's the final deadline for character choice?... and will this be back-to-back with the start of script recording?

I hope next week you'll spend less time trapped in translating Marty's web of the audio world and broaden the spectrum of updatables!

Cheers none-the-less! I hope the rest of Reach is turning out to be even better than everyone dreamed it would be....

I wish I was still legendary.

That wasn't QUITE as interesting as I thought it'd be. A lot less news than usual, but learning about the casting process was pretty cool.

Wait...Stosh is a website designer, correct? Therefore, if he's working on new stuff, the website is going to be updated AGAIN either next year or in the near future - and if next year, it's gonna be a big one since he's working on it so early.

Also, hilarious quote:

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

.

I still submit that you guys NEED to cast Jerome the security guard as somebody. I mean, seriously, invent a character for Jerome if you have to. It would just be hilariously awesome to hear that voice in-game.

depends... who wants to know?

lol you guys should get a musician this time! i hear chris daughtry plays xbox, think maybe halo, im sure he'd be glad to do some voice actin' for you guys. and besides, a musicans job is to sit in a studio and record voices for hours and hours on end. what could be betteer?

  • 10.16.2009 4:15 PM PDT

nice update!

  • 10.16.2009 4:16 PM PDT

That was an amazing update.
i loved finding out how this process was taken out.
It's one of those thing i sometimes wondered about.

This is awesome. It would be really cool if you guys could put together a Weather-Man like animation on B.net. You know when your watching the forecast and you see a Doppler Radar animation loop of the last # Hours? I think it would be pretty baddass to have a similar, auto-updated loop of global activity on the site.

Dun wurry itz goin be K.

Very good update, good we are finally start to hear some info on Reach in these updates, can't wait until we get some more solid info.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

Man, there's a lot of Northeastern Russians playing some Halo 3. :P

I thought there'd be a lot about Reach in this update presuming from the description. I was a bit dissapointed, but it's cool finding out how voices actors are picked, and it's also weird to think that if somebody disagreed back in 1999/2000 about a voice actor, Master Chief might sound different, or 'Double Kill!' wouldn't sound the same.
Thought-provoking.

Out of Curiosity...What is the time range of the "Points of Light"?

Tres Dias.

Great update, I can't wait to find out which actors were picked for Reach.

  • 10.16.2009 4:32 PM PDT

▀▄Halo2, Halo3, Forge, Slayer, Snipers, BR's...▄▀ ▄

I think you guys should cast Brad Pitt, but he has to talk in the accent he used for Inglorious Basterds.

On another note, nice update! And shame on you Marty, you made Urk go sadface.

The orginal suicide dinosaur.

It just occurred to me that nobody in Russia is playing Halo 3.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

I absolutely love it when we get in-depth looks into the machinations of Bungie's aural bliss -- especially when there are tidbits involving the voice acting.

Being a voiceover hobbyist myself, it's great both as a fan as well as a would-be voice talent to get a sense of the internal decision-making and procedures, and the expectations that I should be prepared to exceed.

I wouldn't half mind an entire featurette revolving specifically around just that.

The funny thing would be seeing an Elite trying to put on a recon helmet.

Maybe one day someone in Madagascar will play a Halo game online. :)

Again, thanks for the update. Can't wait 'till we start seeing some real news start to spill out on Reach. Looks at the characters and game graphics and such. Someday.
