Hm..I'm guessing the mystery sound is a turrent hitting of some piece of metal? And about that dialog, keep that srg. johnson one hatting that brute, it was halerious! And those other funny baning letters were so funny too.

Hey, great job on the first Podcast!

I just have one main issue with the Podcast. You have probably already noticed this issue and will avoid it next time, but I'll speak of it anyway. After announcing "Interview" or something rather, Halo music is played. My problem with this is that the Podcast speakers converse while the music is playing at the same volume. Because of this, it is difficult to hear the speakers while the music is playing. I suggest that next time the music should be played at a background volume once the speaking begins. Other than this, the Podcast was great.

I really enjoyed being able to listen to the kids with "less than average" intelligence whine about getting banned for being, well, dumb. If these kids have to cheat to enjoy Halo 2, or games in general, they are a true disappointment. "Waaaambulance" is an excellent part of the Podcast, as those kids deserve as much humilation as allowed. Nice job, Bob.

Once again, great job. I look forward to the next time.

Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

The Waahmbulance is funny, but for some reason, I feel like these idiots are receiving more attention than they deserve. If your response in the podcast somehow combats idiots, I'm all for it. Otherwise, I'd like to see us move on to more important matters. Like Halo 3, bungie bs, community, etc.. Do -blam!-s really deserve anymore attention than our disembodied soul?

I liked the Halo3 logo.

The Podcast was “all right”
Cut the fat! Less fat more meat!
You guys are good at mofo-ing an BS-ing!
The Waaaaaaambulance sucks.... I could give 2 SS about those losers!

Get some dedicated PR people... you guys suck at explaining HALO, your own game!!
An so did Wilmer Valderrama when he came on Late Night with Jimmy Kimmel for Halo2!
The Mclees, Frankie, and that other guy... did a crappy job of explaining Halo3 an not giving away new stuff. My grandma could have done better than that!!!

Frankie had this --I so do not give an S about this-- look on his face in those Bungie interviews. Way to go!

I don't like the logo too much. I mean the shape of it is good, what I'd expect, but the colours are too dark. Sure, your trying to make it look, old and beaten but..the dark murky colours aren't right, but good update besides.

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day
Posted by: RhythmKiller
Posted by: Krazy_J
I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

The Halo 3 logo looks great, good job! And the podcast was just outright hilarious, especially the Whaambulance and all the talk about Halo 3. I'm looking forward to the next podcast.

You guys need some chix there you know that?
I'd do a music bed if I were you. It'll cover up any potential dead air long enough for you to get your next line of topics going.
Give Bob the emails before he reads them so he's not stumbling over misspelled words (Bob FTW)
Try to get a show clock going to you have an idea of where the shows going, exactly what your talking about, and cutting the time down. An hour show is a LOT to do. It's also a lot to listen too.
And come guest on my radio show.

Finish the Fight

IT was awsome i come from podtacular and i think u guys should make an episode with only the wammmmbulance it was an awsome show

  • 09.24.2006 6:58 AM PDT

A witty signature.

Finding your spot after accidentally closing it is pure hell.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

Great Update guys keep it up im in the process of moving right now so i dont get many chances to play XBL or read the updates so this one was a great one to come back to.

  • 09.24.2006 7:10 AM PDT

Reach is hot garbage.

The WWU was great. A decent amount of new information and some new pics. I'm really interested in the behind the scenes stuff like the Halo 3 logo's creation. I think its safe to say that the rest of the fans would agree. The podcast was also excellent. Different segments and people make it varied and not a bore to listen to. And please, keep the Whaambulance segments short and sweet just like it is in epsiode one. Some background music at a really low volume wouldn't hurt though. Incubus 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Movements of the Odyssey from the Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume One would be great candidates for that.

That was a great Pod-cast... especially the Waaahmblulance part. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Especially the one about the Standbyer.

The waaahmblulance portion of the podcast was great! It's great to here your logical thoughts on the illogical. By the way, SNL fans you are. Keep it comming.

Good update, Podcast is a great Idea, BUT, Please cease with all the pointless banter in the beginning of the cast. I believe I speak for the majority of people when I say we just fast forward to the good stuff ( Mystery sound, outtakes, and of course the waaaaaaaaaaambulance). Keep up the great work and I can't wait to download the ringtones to my RAZR.

Best fracing update I've ever seen you guys put out! I loved the podcast (3rd time listening to it right now).

FIrstly, your opening song is so ghetto! Funny as hell but ghetto none the less!

My only complaint is your censorship of the "f**k" word & related. Halo is a MATURE game, we all know the word well. Halo 2's LEGENDARY mode inspired more usage of the word than anything & everything in history, trust me. Stop censoring the word! Fracers!

I would love to hear some more emails from cheaters asking they be unbanned. I got so many laughs from that!

Please don't shorten the podcasts either! In fact, make them exactly 60 minutes! 60 minutes of entertainment!

By the way, the mystery sound... I theorize it's something to do with the Covenant. Maybe a Wraith... only time will tell!

Keep up w/ the PODCASTS! They are totally awsome! EXCELLENT UPDATE, BUNGIE-BOYS! By the way, talk about the Halo Movie a little bit. :)

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

You asked for feedback so here is my feedback.

First of all I really enjoyed it.

Now on with my pro's and con's.

PRO's

It was great to hear about Halo 2's matchmaking playlist updates and what is going to happen soon.

I really was surprised to hear that Marty is the creator of the Flinstone's Jingle and the Mr. Clean jingle. That gave me a silly grin and an unexpected chuckle. I would love to hear how his transition into gaming came about.

The mystery noise was a very nice addition and I hope it is something that continues throughout the podcasts until Halo 3 is released.

The updates on Halo 2 Vista were a nice, I enjoyed hearing how the game is being touched up for higher resolutions and to know that Bungie while not making the port still has its hands in it's creation.

The snippets from the Bungie staff were hilarious as well, its funny to hear them trying to sound like the characters/voice actors.

Do some more of the WHAAAAAAmulance stuff as well, MY .02....but have people make up voices and sound like it's a call in complaint. In other words tear into them some more.

I know not a lot will be revealed until the game date is set and until we get closer to the release date. I like the mystery noises and vauge explinations of the Halo 3 humpday for example and would like to see that tradition continue.

Here are some things I would like to see added to the podcast................

CON's/Suggestions MY . 02 of course..................

I would like to hear more news updates about the movie, even if it is to say there is no new news.

I would like to hear info about the novel, or future novels as well, even if its to say nothing new is on the horizon.

A monthly touch on new toys, shirts etc heading to the b.net store or other vendors.

A rant from a bungie employee, (not an interview, just a rant) with new people each week. 30 seconds or so would be great, about anything really, work conditions, someone playing jokes, etc.



A blurb about me.

I am not terribly active on the forums, there are numerous reasons which would take too long to explain. But I am checking this site and a few other impoortant ones everyday for b.net news and 360 news. I look forwards to the weekly updates and have since they first started. So you could call me a long long time reader.
