A terrifyingly open and plain-spoken Matt dropped by our forum to answer a large basket of questions about the current workings of Bungie. He talks about hirings, b.net, the future of the Myth series, the Bungie West team, fanfests (as in there will be more and better, ) and many other things. Definitely worth reading.
However, he doesn't mention the wall-hugging hippos--and he also says he can't talk about Chris Butcher's impending horrible doom. The connection seems obvious...
