EP005 - Arbiter: the alien, the myth, the legend, the taco truck owner

This week on the Spartan Talk podcast, we discussed the Arbiter. What is an Arbiter? How did they form the 'position' and why? Who is the 'current' Arbiter? We also announce a really cool contest that you can get more details on here! You can listen in browser here or check us out on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, TuneIn, and MixCloud. You can also learn how to get involved by checking out our Interact page! EP005 - Arbiter: the alien, the myth, the legend, the taco truck owner content 00:00-1:00 - Introductions 1:00-6:15 - More discussion on H5G not having split screen. Discussed an article on Engadget by author Philip Palermo, which pretty much sums up our thoughts. We then went on to complain more about this silly decision by 343i.  6:20-10:20 - The H5G Limited Edition, the one that costs a whopping $250, won't have a physical game for now. 343i sites the reason for this being time constraints. While digital downloads are certainly the way to go for most media these days, paying $250 for a Limited Edition and not getting physical media kind of doesn't make sense. Then we start talking about remastering Reach... for some reason. 10:30-14:30 - Discussed the latest H5G vidocs and the trailer for Halo: The Fall of Reach animated series. We are super excited about this! Then we ramble about how there should be a Halo movie. Come on now! 14:45-20:45 - Discussed a quick HCS update, if you could call it that. We spend time talking about Raid on Apex 7, the announced H5G Warzone map that is four times larger than anything the franchise has ever seen. We discuss our thoughts on Warzone in general and how this map can play into it. Halo meets Titanfall meets BF4 meets COD perhaps? 21:15-end of cast - we discuss the Arbiter. We look into who the Arbiter's are. How did they come about? What have they done? We talk about how the Prophets used them for getting rid of those they thought could take over and those they thought were shamed for some reason. When we learn of the Prophet's deceit in Halo 2, the current Arbiter rises to the level of hero among his kind. What does the role of respect play with the Arbiter?
