Giant Bomb on Halo Waypoint

Do you have an Xbox 360 and an Xbox Live Gold membership? Do you love Giant Bomb videos? Then check this out!


 LOOK MA I'M ON THE TEEVEE BOX!
 LOOK MA I'M ON THE TEEVEE BOX!
So for the past few weeks we've been in contact with the folks behind Halo Waypoint, Microsoft's hub for all things Halo on the Xbox 360. As of this weekend, the fruits of those labors have started to ripen, and you can now savor the sweet nectar of select Halo-focused Giant Bomb videos on your Xbox 360! Like it was fruit!  Metaphors!

We've currently got two videos up on Waypoint: there's "You Say Goodbye, I Say Halo" a featurette that does such a perfect job of compressing the punch-drunk insanity of our attempted six-and-a-half hour live stream of the end of original Xbox Live that it gives me combat flashbacks. If you're looking for more reasons to get pumped up about the pending Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, we've also got "Ask Me Anything: Halo: Reach Beta" where Vinny grills Drew and Brad about their recent hands-on time with the next addition to the Halo family. 

If you haven't already, you can grab Halo Waypoint through the Games section on your 360, or you can queue it up through Xbox.com. Once you load it up, just hit the Intel button, and you'll (as of this writing) see both videos in the What's New section. You will need an Xbox Live Gold account to use Halo Waypoint, but this is by far the easiest way (at the moment) to get some Giant Bomb video action on your big-ass TV. Also, I personally get really jazzed when I get to see Giant Bomb content up on the Xbox like that, and the more people that watch these videos, the better the chances are we'll get to do more stuff like this in the future!

Drew had cookie crumbs in the corner of his mouth for like 3 hours and no one told him? And he was on camera? Man, you guys.

" No, it's ok. I'd rather watch the Giant Bomb videos, and the other thousands of user created videos, online for fee. Paying for content that is free somewhere else is what is called as a rip-off. Besides Halo has been played out. It's old hat now. Who cares? "

" I dont have Gold (dont play online enough) or a good enough connection to just watch both videos without reason but I might if they are good enough but I have to ask if the video's are unuiqe. Is it the same stuff you can get here or is it only on Waypoint? If its only on Waypoint I might put in a 48 hour card I have lying around to watch it. "
Yeah there unique.

" @RazielCuts said:
" but damn Ask Me Anything, to redub the audio just rings so false,  'so what does this do? I totally didn't already know that from before when we made a video' 'Oh look at this gun, its new right?' "
It's not the exact same version of "Ask Me Anything" that's on the site right now?  Since that video was completely fair. "

Thank God someone else noticed how scripted the one on Waypoint seemed to be compared to the original.  Please, if you have to edit a video down smaller bite size chunks use original voice over or have someone else do the interview, because the one on Waypoint started to get cheesy around the end.  Don't like to hear my GB staff sell me things.

I'm thinking he meant the metaphors were in here, "As of this weekend, the fruits of those labors have started to ripen, and you can now savor the sweet nectar of select Halo-focused Giant Bomb videos on your Xbox 360!"  Not in the "like it was fruit." part.
