Argh this podcast had one of my random pet peeves- when someone says that Halo's soundtrack has random chanting in it for no reason.
It's not random at all! Didn't anyone ever pay attention to the fact that the enemies in the Halo games are a zealous collective of species called the covenant? I had a friend who is a musician and a music major in college and he was like "man I love the Halo theme, but why is their chanting in it lol". Marty is a great composer, and he does everything deliberately in his scores.
But on another note, I was listening to the Halo 1 soundtrack after playing anniversary and thought to myself, "wow, Halo didn't deserve a soundtrack this good when it first came out." Don't get me wrong, Halo turned out to be one of if not the best game on the original XBOX but before it even came out, we knew nothing of how great it would be. But the soundtrack is just phenomenal, especially for the first entry in a new IP on a new platform that was being shunned by the critics pre-release. It's amazing that such an awesome soundtrack was put into it when the 3rd and 4th entries in other popular game licenses often contain bland, unmemorable scores that try to sound like generic hollywood music.

Odds are, they were just told to sprinkle in a couple of references and chuck in a few random mysterious dates to make the Internet go crazy (why is the 13th crossed out? WHY?!)
Either that, or all of these are true, and the game will be launched at an 80's disco.

If you guys think about it, this is a kind of Naughty Dog game. I mean the Uncharted games have been based off stuff that exist in history books that have a "what if?" story built around it. The Last of Us is based off a real life fungus that controls the minds of small insects and they are building a what if story around it.

I tried to download the update twice and it gets to the point where it asks if it's okay to do it, then the PS3 beeps twice and resets to the XMB. The Skyrim update went fine after that, so I don't know what's up.
I wish they'd put back some of the postgame stuff from 2, too. Why'd they get rid of the medals and cheats and stuff?

The only thing i noticed about aiming was that running and gunning was so damn difficult. Back then they used to auto-lock, now your aim bounces all over the place, costing me tons of deaths in corners.

Can they bring back UC2's AI and Textures? No? Then UC3 will continue to be the worst game in the series. Still fun but not the defining game it should have been. And creating the script on the fly is really starting to damage the experience. 3D did its share of messing things up as well. Degraded textures being just one example.

Just voted. Picked Batman: Arkham City for GOTY. Best performance by a Human Male is going to be close. I thought all the voice actors were worthy of the award. Ended up picking Nolan North though.

Spike doesn't have any idea what they're doing. Look at the list.
By the way, Skyward Sword is listed as a game of the year contender? What?
The game isn't even out yet. LOL. Good job Spike.

I have 101 of 100 treasures, I found on that was not on the list on the stage where you stick your hands in the holes. Is this odd or am I missing something?
