Amazing! Thank you soo much. Very Cool, sweet logo. Haven't listened to all the podcast yet (i'm at friends house). But I really cant wait until I listen to this Halo 3 sound effect i'm hearing about.
And very interesting to hear that Marty made the Mr. Clean jingle and Filnstones.
And I also can't wait to get Halo phone stuff. Very cool update in a long while that doesn't just have Frankie teasing us.

Great update Frankie. My only complaint would be that the podcast is not in iTunes nor do you have a feed for it that I know of. That would be great if you could get a RSS feed in iTunes so it would automatically update the podcast with the new episodes. I'm downloading the podcast right now. Man, there must be a million people downloading it all at once because it going really slow. Thanks for being Bungie.


Yeah I was sort of hoping for an RSS feed to subscribe to.

Maybe next week? :D

All I can say is...

Bravissimo!

These are the kind of updates that give me sustenance... and a reason to hate the fact that Noguchi already has his own -blam!- to do his dirty work.

One little random piece of info and a mystery sound is all we need.

And an interview with Joseph "The Scribe" Staten or "The Dude" himself...

Australia always gets left behind

Guys the podcast was awsome, especially the good ole waambulance. It had everything a fan boy would want to hear, great stuff, although if you could somehow have more audience involvement (dunno how) it would be perfect. keep up the great work. Halo 3 logo looks SWEET

The download was really scary fast... i downloaded it in 3 seconds.... and i shouldn't be able to do that! Ya for 17Mb/s downloads that shouldnt exsist. Not to mention!! It was only 50 megs and the Mp3 is only 55:00 minutes for me... what happened to it being over 60 meg and over an hour in length???

Nice podcast!!! And great themesong. More cowbell.

The mystery sound is either a large open room with various gunfire and vehichles or a texture room. Easy as pi. Yes I spelled it right.


Sounded like gunfire. Then arrows in flight. Before impact. But I'm sure I'm way off. We even hear a few of 'em going on at the same time.

I actually had the patience to sit through and listen to all of that since I had a lot of time during a terrible thunderstorm. That was fun to listen to. And of course, the Whaaaaaambulance always delivers.

Can't wait to hear another one, no matter what it's about.

Did anyone notice the tiny picture of a silver/white monitor. The Arks monitor?

AND THUS IS LIFE

Wow what a great update. I love the song I can'twait to get that as my ringtone. The update made my week so thankyou. That mystery sound is going to haunt me for a long time while I try and figure out what it could be. As I listened to the pod cast it just made me more and more excited for Halo 3 not to mention it pretty much made you guys the best game developer ever. No other game company can compare. The more I thought about my excitement the more I was reminded of the first month or so of playing goldeneye on the n64, I lived in Colorado at the time, and it was during the winter, My cousins and I were all up at our grandparents for our school break for about 3 weeks and every day we would wake up and play goldeneye, we would go eat some breakfast and then we would play some more goldeneye. Go outside for awhile and then play more goldeneye. I think you get the picture; we played a lot of goldeneye. Halo has done the same and even better with Xbox live. I can’t wait to just hang out with my friends and experience the great game you are making. I just thought I would share the memories the pod cast brought back to me. Thanks again for all the effort you put into your games, and especially for all the love you show to your fans. Thanks for all the great times and here is to all the memories ahead.

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

I have a great idea for a podcast, get jason jones and let him spew about how he feels on the subject of how halo has taken off, his feelings on all the press and media attention around the halo universe, how he feels about the online aspect as far as cheating and modding is concerned, and where the hell he has been hiding.

That was a really cool podcast, and the fact that they made it longer then 5 minutes (55 minutes to be exact) was very cool. (ts always nice to really be able to listen to something for a good while, and really learn a lot about the producers and designers, their background, personality, job, etc.

I liked the content in this podcast, but some of the things i would like to see more of are the developer interviews. Personally i would really like to hear a interview with Joe Staten (probably wont get that since he will probably be too busy) and an interview with the ever-elusive Jason Jones (again, probably to busy to deliver an interview).

As for the sound bites, some were really cool, some were utterly disturbing (theme song), but the dialog bits were very funny. As for my take on the mystery sound, i think it might be a raw version of the scorpion tank sounds (treads, gun firing, bullet impact).

cool podcast guys, i cant wait to see the next one.

The RSS feed should go up with the next episode, and yes, you'll be able to subscribe from iTunes.

MY XBOX DIED THAT'S WHY.

I loved the podcast! You guys are doing great. Love the deadpan humor - it just needs more uncomfortable silence..........
Sound levels were a bit off - couldn't hear Frankie when they went out "on location" and some of the music needed to be toned down.
But to be honest, I'm listening for content and you guys did a great job of mixing it up with the Optimatch segment, sound effects stuff (my fav this week) and Waaahhhbulance was great! Please keep the guy who was reading it! He did great. I forgot his name, sorry. (Naguchi's B****h or something like that...?)
The only other suggestion would be what a few others have been suggesting -- listener mail or questions you guys could answer on the show, maybe give a question of the week prize to a listener who's question you liked the most?

Was Alta's cussin' part of the dialog or was she just mad that day? I'm confused. lol Either way cortana sounded cranky!

Okay, I'm done.
:P
Great job, guys!

All right! I want to listen to the podcast from my PSP. (its kind of boring sitting in front of the computer for almost an hour.)


I think the best part of the podcast were the sound effects. You guys should do more of those from Halo 2, since theres thousands of lines, they should revisit some of those old ones, maybe some Halo 2 secrets.
