I thought the Hunter was the tallest Halo creature (when standing straight up) . . .

then again, they never even had a hunter on the chart . . .

hmm . . . Maybe that was a clue about their next project . . . HMMMM . . .

AH HA! You guys thought you were really clever not showing us anything but I figured it out. I knew all along that the next game was going to be the long awaited PImps at Sea! I can't wait to get my pimp on! Since I'm the first one to figure it out what prize do I win?

how fun was that? Anyway, I noticed the Marathon IV on the pen board 11 minutes in and had to check the forum to see if others caught it. It sounds like bungie planted some other teasers in the video. BTW, I can't tell if it's the ridiculous belt or the boxers worn under the tight jeans, but Frankie was sure walking funny. Maybe he's not used to so much sunshine. Now you know why he rides the chair elevator.

Nerd Rage - It makes the internet go 'round.

Not teasers, just screwing with us.

The hunters are the tallest, the Halo Manual lists them as twelve feet tall.
This is the reason the hunter wasn't on the chart, it is simply too tall for the chart, the doorframe is only so high.

Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

although the video was void of pretty much anything about the new project, one thing frankie said caught my attention. It was something like, "if we gave you any hints at all, you guys would guess exactly what we are doing" (sorry its not an exact quote, but QT is being dumb and won't let me scan). I was thinking that if this was going to be an entirely new project, than ther could be no way we could figure out the game just from a few screen, or hearing some music. This makes me think that TNP is going to be a sequel of a previous game. At first I thought this meant Halo 3 was coming, but then I realized that there are many fans who would easily recognize older games, such as marathon. What do you people think? Am I reading too much into this?

Also, the tour was awesome. Very funny. I hope I can get my hands on some of the "swag" that frankie plans on pulling from the garbage.

Finally, does anyone know whats wrong with my QT? Every time I FF, RW, or drag the bar, my screen goes solid green (after a small amount of time, say 5-10 seconds), and I have to exit the player and open it again to get picture back. I still get sound, though, when this happens.

I wonder if I could jump off that balcony!
NICE Kitchen!
Good update Frankie

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

please give us a wmp version!!!!!!

  • 02.17.2006 11:19 PM PDT

Top notch video, and by top notch i mean utterly pointless, and by utterly pointlss, I mean highly entertaining and by highly entertaining, I mean... well, that's kind of self explanatory. Points for Peril and Gorillaz, as always. What a swell experience it would be to visit the studios, let alone work there.

ok so umm? outa curiostiy, did u splurge on an edditing system, or was this what you could manage in like premier or i-movie...oh, and ditch the 3 chip...looks like poo, the thousands of dollars in color corection is all good, but u guys could pick up the new cannon xlh1 for about 8 grand and shoot in hd on a mini dv tape...also...the final text needed a nice linear wipe


and if the brutes are the tallest...where do the hunters stand, or the buggers, and proffits? (not that there taller)

so next time you have a video project send me an email, and get a camera man, ill eddit your stuff for free considering all the fun youve given me...

  • 02.17.2006 11:54 PM PDT

Well, quas, if you were subjected to editing the film, who knows what kind of "top secret" things you may find. And who knows who you'll tell and who who you told will tell and who who they told who you told will tell. I don't think so bud.

I really really hope all of those useless things go on sale... and are affordable. Looked like a lot of cool stuff in your little junk pile... yep. One man's trash is another man's treasure. = )

Super cool sound system/piano marty!

Your kitchen is like an old lady's though. An old lady with no taste.
But the snack... well they were incredible.

And the pillows man! those were nifty.

Very nice air conditioner. Chrome right?

So, once the "next project" is out, can we see more?

This was one great delivery:

My job sucks, I wish we had a beanbag gaming pit. Anyone care to switch for a day? I can promise you a ride in a military helicopter. ;)

Well, although I feel like with all the teasing Bungie is doing with the game, I'm having video game blue balls, I'm hoping that them NOT telling us what it is means they won't have to change the release date a million times again. Halo 3 would be spectacular, but honestly, as long as the game has great live play, I'd be satisfied. One can only play so much nba2k6 and halo2.

Does anyone else have the feeling that they're reading Jesus speak in the Bible when the mods talk with the white text? Seriously, I'm not religious, but it's kinda creepy.

And thanks for taking the time out to make the video of course.

Made this account before I had live.

I actually think that the only reason the hunter was not on the chart is because it is not that big. Its armor makes it appear tall but really it has to be much shorter since the actual "hunter" is just the orange sac on the inside that is full of alien life forms.

And also, the music that Frankie and Marty played seemed to lean more towards sea music and pimp music. So if he was outright lying when he said they were making sure there were no hints in the video, then my guess would have to be Pimps At Sea.
