Wait... simulated reality? My head hurts.
Okay, this isn't Halo-related in the slightest, I don't think - but it DOES hold some interest for those of you who follow Bungie, the company, and the people that (used to) work for it. According to USA Today, there's a new reality TV show coming soon - Xquest will be brought to you by Ron Howard (who looks NOTHING like Ritchie - or Opie, for that matter - any more) and Brian Grazer, and will take contestants into space - well, simulated space. Simulated space? Yeah - "the travelers and viewers will be transported to space virtual-reality style, thanks to high-tech graphics and the help of co-producer Alex Seropian, a creator of the popular Halo game." Wonga! Is this what Wideload is doing after Stubbs ships? Thanks, x amount. Update: Thanks to a story in Variety (which isn't reachable without a subscription, unfortunately), I now understand this has nothing to do with Wideload; Seropian is also a principal of Spectrum MediaWorks, a company looking to tie together television, videogames, and 'networked media' - and it's under this umbrella that he's working with the Xquest project. (The Variety article specifically discusses the lack of connection between this project and Halo, in any form.) (Louis Wu 19:01:43 UTC)
