It was alright, I can only see it working with someone you've already done properly though.

So.... When i read Ringworld this summer i only slightly thought that the halo series was modeled after it. Now i come onto Bnet and i see you have an interview with Louis Wu... Which is the name of the main character in Ringworld... wow.
Must be just a bunch of coincedences!

Yeah, the interveiw, i think was better over msn, but i would like it more if you either stayed on topic, or at least eplained what all the random stuff was about a little more elaborately, for example, us casual bungie sight visitors and game players do not know who eskay is

The Empire is law. The Law is sacred.

Funny interview, I also liked the bit about Halo 3.

lol haha nice interview.... glad to see you two getting along so well actually I thought the questions were a necessary part so the questions were perfect for getting people to know Wu better...he seems pretty cool in a dorky kinda way lol j/p but seriously he knows how to host good LAN parties, or so I would guess

  • 10.11.2006 5:54 AM PDT

Loved it. Funny and informing. Sort of...^^

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

If you want read the book Halo was inpired from its Starhammer by Christopher Rowley. Has many references from the main character Jon to his friend living on corridor 117.

You want some honest opinions, KP? You want the tru7h? You can't handle the tru7h! Well, I like ranting, so I'll say it as it is.

The idea was good, interviews should be more laid back and you got that one nailed. However, the formating was more troublesome. In my opinon, it would have been better with a KP: and LWU: instead of bold and not bold. I know that it looks a bit weird when you do that here (on b.net) but using the interviewers name in bold helps a bit.

Even though the interview was laid back and funny, we didn't really learn anything from it did we? An interview (usually) has a purpose, and I'm still trying to find the purpose of this one. You tried to introduce Lwu early in the interview, but yet I can't really see it anywhere that he is the one who runs Bungie.org. Sure, it was mentioned in the other interview with him, but I didn't see a link to that one anywhere.

(Insert all the good stuff people have been talking about for five pages here)

Well, that's what I think, you asked for it and you got it. kthxbai

I really liked that interview a lot. It seemed really authentic. I like that you adress the issue of not being able to release information without having to do it in a really formal, official way. That is one thing that bothers me; all the red tape surrounding any comments at all from the Bungie staff. I suppose that comes with any intellectual properties though. Anyway, I felt like I was an active participant in the conversation. It was very engrossing. I appreciated it. Thanks.

Im liked this format alot, as well as the "adventures of style". It felt just like an aim chat between me and my freinds, lol. Keep it up! It was very entertaining. And the little sprinkles of Halo 3 goodness were most appreciated.

Personally, I liked it. It was more insightful while also being more laid back. Almost like I was listening in to a conversation online. . .

Oh, I was!

ZD: Real name is Zebediah Dingleberry. Once ZD’s rock band makes the big time, all we’ll have left of him is his insatiable love of BBQ corn nuts and some guy named People’s Champ.

KP,
I loved the interview. I think you should do them like that from now on. Organization Smorga....mmm smorgasbord...

What I don't love is the fact that you stole my Halo2 emblem (or at least most of it).

And my tendency to use a 2 letter gamertag.

Wtf - it's like we're universal opposites or something. Like bizzaro-world.

I liked this new format. Though I hate internet speak, is it so hard to use full words and sentences. Hell just complete phrases are good enough.

I liked the way the interview was layed out, easy to read.
What I liked about the interview was reading about the Halo1 Lans and the video. I like H2 for the graphic and the online play,
I laughed though watching them with the warthhogs on bloodgulch. I remember those days, they were a blast. I played on XBConnect for a couple years so I was able to enjoy Lans and online both. Thanks for a blast from the past.
Oh and the pistol? It rocket in Halo1 on RatRace and HangemHigh.

That was a great interview and a lot of fun.

Anyway, Louis / Claude should either be in the Video Game Hall of Fame or the Marketing Hall of Fame. Because he's done something, with Bungie.org, that is genuinely unique and has revolutionized not only video game marketing but marketing in general.


ya got somthin brown on yer nose there.

I found the real-time chat to be entertaining. I think more of those would do the community good. Just watch it about the wifey in the kitchen thing, that will ruin any guy.
NOTE: (wife in the kitchen disclaimer added because my wife is looking over my shoulder)
Peace Out

I found this interview a little pointless to be honest. Please stick to the old format.

For once, I actually read through an online interview. You actually kept my attention.
