Yeah, it feels like a lot was cut out or cut down in Destiny for whatever reason. They could've had more planets and areas for us to visit and they could've had more multiplayer options, but more relevant to this, Alpha Lupi doesn't seem like it went anywhere, and the Grimoire could've been done better, or its information could've actually been part of the game.
Hunt the Truth has me interested, but I'm too jaded to be excited about it, and I realize so far I'm just interested because of the mystery and the hinting at lies, not because they're actually doing anything interesting, if that makes sense. I'm not so much interested in the story they're giving or hinting at as the question of what the story will be and who's telling what lies to who.
Bring on Beta Lupi, please, preferably longer and with more content and interaction.

This sort of stuff is my bread and butter. You better believe that I'm devouring it.

The Halo series has always gotten superb stuff in the tiny things for its ARGs and ads. It's the little things that I see the most, and that peek out the hardest. The Believe campaign and ilovebees are two standards that I point people towards when they should know good acting and directing.

If you're going for "this universe exists" then you should have people talking over each other, and you should have people stuttering over their words a bit. (Listen to the latest audio log, and the older gentleman does this wonderfully.) People don't speak cleanly like in TV and movies. If you can find the right balance, then it highlights everything and makes it pop.

When I was a kid, my friends and I used to make cassette tapes of interviews and stuff. We were inspired by War of the Worlds, you know? But no matter how good people told me they were, something always felt horribly off about them. One day, I was watching a biography and somebody both stammered and struggled for a word. It made just a one-minute clip really stand out for me, and that's when I understood exactly how much that meant towards giving something gravity.

Think about how many films have something that might be considered a flaw in other movies, but in that one it somehow makes the movie better. That's what these bring to the forefront -- the carefully scripted flaws that make it stand out and truly seem amazing.

"I'm sure a lot of us are not that excited about Halo 5 coming out."

I am, but cautiously excited. Don't really want to follow the hype or adverts, just want to get the game when it comes out knowing zilch about it and be happily surprised lol.
Destiny was a dream crusher for me. Hoping 343 as many talented writers vs. many psychologists on hand ;)
