(hosts Foo Mo Jive, JVB, Dan Hsu)
I’d like to ask what exactly you do as editor in cheif of egm. What are
your responsibilities, and jobs to do before each issue is released? Also,
how many people does it take to put together a single issue? And is there
ever a struggle to finish the pieces before a deadline is reached?
1) How the heck did those images from the September issue get on the
internet so quickly? Did someone get an advanced copy or were those
images taken from an employee? If it was an employee, do you have ways of
finding out who leaked it (the way Bungie had it’s way of discovering the
identity of the folks who leaked Last Resort and Epitaph?)
and 2) I’ve seen the scans of the leaked images (don’t worry I’ll still
be buying a copy when it comes out) and it seems you’ve gotten a lot of
insight into Halo 3 from Bungie. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you tell us if
there will be a clan system for Halo 3? I haven’t seen anyone from Bungie
or anyone else even touch this subject, and I’d really like to know.
Keep up the good work at EGM, Dan, I can’t wait for the September issue!
How did you get your start in gaming? Most especially becoming an
Editor-in-Chief of a large magazine.
Hi, I’ve listened to a few of your shows and decided recently to join. I
think you have a great podcast and its good to have something that mostly
revolves and talks about the “Halo Universe”
For Dan Hsu, I’d like to ask him about how he deals with content and
releasing information in his magazines. How he gets in with great Halo
information and what is done when their are potential leaks, not saying
that there has been any big ones lately, but what is done when their are?
Hi, my question is “You seem to know a lot about Halo and its birth, what
would you say is your most memorible moment in playing the multiplayer?”
First off great job with EGM. It’s the best gaming magazine I have ever
read.
Anyways, I am really interested in getting into Game Journalism. If all
goes according to plan, I will be the News and Review Lead Editor on a
sizable gaming site me and some of my friends are working on.
Right now I am co-leading the Review Frenzy. (a small group of video game
reviewers in the Podtacular community) I have done a few reviews and I
am working on my next one (The Darkness) and my first try at a video
review.
I was just wondering if you had any pointers for an amateur journalist.
(how to find news, what to report and what to ignore, how to get the
attention of developers etc.)
hey dan! question from randomness: Have you read harry potter and the
deathly hallows? if not, do you plan to? please answer as lengthily as
possible lol.
What does it take to become Editor in chief of a big magazine like 1up?
So Dan, what’s it like to work at one of the greatest places to us gamers?
Also what’s it like when you see someones face while they are reading EGM?
And what do you like the best from all the info of Halo 3?
I was wondering if you have any intimate knowledge of what will happen in
halo(i’m not asking you to tell anything specific, i’d just like to
know).
P.S. Shout out to Jrule2
hey podtacular this is SGO lonewarrior and as for this weeks special guest
Dan i have only one question (this sort of differs from person to person
but still I’m curious). how did you get into the halo games? for instance
i started playing the halo games at my best friends, uncles, brothers,
cousins house. trust me some of the people i know played halo for the
first time in another country. so i was just curious as to how you got
into it.
shout outs to Angel Leviathan, GreenEggsAndSam, the ultimate whale, the
giant purple sausage, Lilkuke, The First Marine.
What’s your opinion on those who have leaked the magazine? Does it affect
money the magazine makes, and the surprise impact it makes?
Also, what’s your favourite new weapon?
Hey Dan “Shoe” Hsu! I justed wanted to say I LOVE your magazine, and I’m so
glad I’m subscribed to it! I got some Halo related questions for you…
1. During your time playing Halo 3 (beta and onwards) how do you think
Halo 3 has changed since the first time you’ve seen it?
2. How many employees at Bungie can you beat at Halo 3?
3. After Halo 3 bombs, all of the review crew’s ‘Now Playing’ will be Halo
3 right? lol.
4. Have you ever got your hands on “Sierra 117”? (the first Halo 3
campaign level) If so, how was it?
Thanks! EGM is my fav. gaming mag!
hey podtacular, and welcome Dan Hsu. I have a few questions about the
halo 3 article from your magazine. First, have you seen the different
armour varients, and if so what advantages do they provide. Next did you
see anything about the flood. And last, Can yoiu go into detail about the
Forge thingy. Thanks for reading my letter, and keep bringing gaming news
to desperate players like me.
There comes a time in every Podcast’s life when it finally spreads it’s
wings and finally allows a Magazine Editor to guest host a show. With the
addition of Dan “Shoe” Shu, we have now had the pleasure of having two EGM
Editors join us on the podcast, and the resulting multimedia rendezvous is
always entertaining. To celebrate this joyous occasion, I have compiled a
list of question for Mr. Shoe:
1. How heavy is Kathleen Sanders’ chihuahua, and how long were you able to
hold it up in the air by the back of it’s shirt at E3?
2. What is harder to deal with: Fanboys making unfair comments on your 1UP
Blog, or Shawn Elliott getting drunk and doing his nerd impersonation?
3. Are the 1UP Servers ever going to get upgraded, or will it still take
me 3 hours to download an episode EGM Live three years from now?
4. After playing Western RPGs and writing for a major gaming magazine,
which is truly mightier: The pen, or the sword?
5. Who is your daddy, and what does he do?
Thanks for coming on the podcast, Shoe. I know that Foo, JVB, and the rest
of the Podtacular really appreciate it.
Heres my question: Dan, as a Halo fan yourself, how do you feel about Halo
3’s features and balance?
Hey a few questions for you.What was your reaction to Halo 3 when you
first saw it last year,and did you get to see any of the new weapon at
that time ex:assult rifle,brute spiker or any of the other ones you
mention in the new issue of EGM
Tell Dan i love EGM and GFW!!
