This is the story of a man, John-117, the Master Chief. This is the story of America. Of Bungie. This is the story of developer crunch, of sleeping in the office, of grandiose expectations, and of delivering on them (albeit imperfectly).

The name itself “Halo: Combat Evolved” is a corporate compromise between Bungie artists and Microsoft marketing shills.

This is the story of multiplayer so good that it made mothers across America weep. It’s the story of staying up all night at your friend's house because nothing besides this moment matters.

We present this podcast to you as incomplete as any analysis of a seminal game is bound to be.

“Halo – it’s finished”

“No. I think we’re just getting started”
