The podcast really made me happy. I put it on my ipod and played some rumble pit while I listened to it. Great job guys, I love it. I can't wait for another one!

Although I often read the weakly update, this is my first post in the forums. I heard about the new "podcast" from xbox360fanboy and was excited to come check it out. My excitement soon faded as I realized that there is no bungie podcast. There's some audio clip posted on the site, but I can't see any way to subscribe to the so called "podcast" and I can't find it in itunes or any other podcasting client for that matter. A podcast is a podcast because it's a media file enclosed in RSS. If it's not using RSS to let people subscribe to it, then it's not a podcast. What you've got is a link to an audio file; not a podcast. Sorry to be a terd.

Good update overall...

As for the tattoo, all I can say is, *cough*Extremist*cough*...

I enjoyed the slice of Bungie work and life you provided in the audio update.

My one complaint would be that the intermediate music was too loud, which made understanding speech too difficult. The length is fine, but please cut the volume back so that the speech of the update is readily comprehensible.

My Xbox Live gamertag: RoosterQ
"Here they come to snuff the rooster, he ain't gonna die." - Alice in Chains

Most of the update was cool. The podcast was all right, some GREAT info, cool sounds. Here's my comments on the yawntacular parts:

1. It could be a half-hour. An hour is just too much for a podcast, IMHO.
2. Why does almost every podcast start with 2 dudes talking in overly mellow voices and it takes them five minutes to get to any info beyond "Hey what's up. I'm X, and we'll be bringing you Y."
3. Cowbell jokes should have died long ago with SNL's sense of humor (circa 1983.)

I only list the complaints but overall the podcast was good stuff! Thanks!

The podcast highs and lows:

Highs: The theme tune, improvisation, news, live anywhere and waaaahmbulace parts.

Lows: The middle part, I just couldn't keep concentrated. Oh and I really hope you will hire actors for the voice parts, because they sounded terrible. Just the worst acting ever!

Otherwise, I loved it. Can't wait for the next one. ;)

It took a little while to get running. I appreciated the extra information behind Marty's epic commercial jingles - knew he had done them but thought it was clever way to introduce the podcast.

Not sure about hearing it every week though...

Will it keep me from tuning in? No, just that it seems to not carry that ... "longevity" that goes with something like that.

Really looking forward to Halo 3. Really looking forward to some of those LE Mylar Prints related to Halo 3 (hint hint). Thanks to all the Bungie staff for keeping everything running smooth as possible on the Halo 2 side and here's to a successful Halo 3, and to whatever projects are beyond.

Sweet podcast! You guys should maybe have a podcast feed page. I like storing podcasts onto my PSP as my mp3 player, and with PSP Media Manager I can add the podcasts' feed urls to subscribe to and keep the list updated.

Funny... loved the theme song to the podcast, didnt know you guys could sing so well.

He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great.You gave a wide place for my steps under me,and my feet did not slip.I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back...-Psalms 18 34-40

The new logo is at a good start. Just a few more changes and it'll look great. The Podcast was entertaining, but was quite slow for my taste. Three minutes worth of information drawn out for 55 minutes seemed a bit much, but it was the first. It will get better I'm sure, and I'll keep listening to them.
