Sure, we've all got plenty of games to play, but our listeners depend on new Fancast episodes. It is like nourishment for them, and we will not be accused of starving our poor listeners. No, we will provide you with a new Fancast. Nay, we must. So, um, here it is. This week we take a brief look at the important news of the week. Fear not though, for our news may be short, but our second half is jam-packed with sweet, gooey goodness. We take on an entire bag full of fanmail and begin our long awaited and spoiler-filled discussion of Halo 3. Warning to those who have not finished the campaign, our spoiler-ridden discussion begins at 1:03:00 and ends at 1:25:44.
The rest of you, enjoy.

I really doubt it. For one, MS just gave the folks at Bungie 20 million in bonuses, two, MS actually owns Bungie and the Halo IP.
Now, I could see folks leaving Bungie due to being so rich they just don't feel the need to work anymore, but "Bungie" isn't going anywhere MS doesn't want it to.

I'm just wondering cause you guys didn't mention anything about beating the last level on legendary were there is another cut scene after Cortona Says I'll Miss you. Let Me Know what you think about that part.

I'm just finishing off the last few minutes of the previous fancast (teh haloz was taking up all my free time!)...Done. There, now onto this fancast.
Rich...were you the first in line?
Guilty pleasure for all of you...YOU ALL LIKED VIVA PINATA!
AND DO NOT READ THE FLOOD!
LOL...If a store associate makes a ludicrous comment I'll step in. If they insist, i might start spinning on the spot. AHAHAHA
I've gotten good at taking out Grunts that run at you with the primed nades. Just shoot em in the face.
As for vehicles, I LOVE driving them.
Yea, I hate that flood thing that shoots at you. I think it's Dustin's idea...lol
As for the skulls, I put it on normal, and turn on 4 different skulls.

LOL...Knuckles. Funny as hell.
FUCK. I pressed enter before I was done. GRR
The ending was weird. I didn't understand WHY they thought he died until I watched the end.
The Warthog ending was AWESOME! I did the ending the first time through!
Greatest Fancast EVAR! SO MUCH HALO 3 LOVE! :D (Speaking of which, I still need to read Ghosts of Onyx.)
And no, people DO NOT READ THE POST.
Outtake: LOL.

Hey guys, just finished listening to the fancast this week and wanted to help clear some things up when it comes to the new flood forms you were talking about.
There are three new flood creatures in H3 and they are part of the 'Pure Flood Form' family. The buggy looking ones are called pure form crawlers, then you've got the pure form ranged (those bastards that shoot those needle things at you, frick I hate those things) and then there's big bastards, the pure form tanks.
The thing that's tricky about all these guys is that they will change form depending on the situation. If you're hanging back they will transform from one form into the pure form ranged, or if you get close to them they will transform into the tanks.
You can find all this info on bungie.net :)
