Sacred Icon: A Halo Podcast

Everyone has a story behind their discovery of Halo. It's that unique story, that unique perspective that gives us different views on the series. Here to share his journey is our friend DientedeHombre.

Journey back to 2012 with us as we unpack the emotions we felt the first time we watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Listen if you wish, but we can't guarantee you'll return the same if you do.

MCC's launch had us at an all time low, but we'd be lying if we said Halo 5's Beta didn't bring us right back up. Let's go pro.

Bryan became a father, Josh went on vacation & 343 released the road map all in the time since we last recorded an episode. Having said that, it's time to cover the first half of Amazon's The Rings of Power. They call it a MINE. A MINE!!

Bryan and Joshua reminisce on all the nostalgic memories they have with 343's era of Halo. It's our last recorded podcast before Bryan became a father. Keep it Sacred.

We share our history with the greatest fictional universe of all time- The Lord of the Rings, before making our definitive tier list of all the Middle-earth video games ever produced. We're going on an ADVENTUURREE!!

Why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up. 343 Industries picked themselves up and then went above & beyond. MCC is a phenomenal product that everyone should play.

Everyone knows about your Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Final Fantasy & Tony Hawk but what about Cool Spot, Toy Story 2 or Ape Escape? Let's get nostalgic.

We've all had a game we were hyped for but then felt let down by. Usually this was because it didn't live up to our own expectations of what the experience could be. MCC on the other hand...didn't work.

Everyone has that one specific Halo game that resonates with them more than any other. It's dark, rainy & the jazz music is oddly soothing...this must be Halo 3: ODST.

Joshua is back for revenge after his devastating loss in the first character draft. Does Bryan have what it takes to stand his ground for round 2?

Everyone has a Nintendo story. However, Josh's is a bit lacking. Here to help me coerce Josh into playing Breath of the Wild is the biggest Luigi fan on earth and our friend Greenplumber.

They say there are five stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, depression & acceptance. Well it's something similar for The Master Chief Collection. Join us as we embark on this four part series taking you through the rise, fall, redemption and aftermath of MCC.

It's the episode we've had in the pocket for quite some time. Like many, we ADORE the world of Final Fantasy VII. What makes us different however, is that we got into the series really late. It's provided us with a unique perspective that we'd like to share. Let's talk Remake, Rebirth & Crisis Core but most importantly let's STICK IT TO SHINRA.

The Star Wars show everyone was waiting for has finally concluded. Bryan and Joshua discuss the highs, lows and ultimately whether or not it lived up to the hype. I'm not your failure, Obi-Wan.

Bryan & Joshua are enamored by the breadth of content at our disposal through the Halo Encyclopedia. We're here to share with you some of our favorite details as we encourage you to grab one for yourself. Damn, it's good!

The goal is simple. We each choose 10 video game characters. You choose which team would win or which team you like better. FIGHT.

We comb through the latest gaming announcements and share our thoughts. Did you think Halo would have a bigger presence?

If there is one thing we know, it's that there is never enough content for our faithful listeners. It's video game announcement season and we have THOUGHTS. Here is two hours of sweet, sweet content to chew on.

Bryan & Joshua's unfiltered thoughts on Halo Infinite seven months later. We exist together now. Two corpses, one grave.

After years of discussion surrounding Halo Infinite and the Halo Television series we knew we needed a proper palette cleanser. We're going back to where it all began and this episode is most definitley not a natural formation.

Regardless of where you stand on the Halo Television series, we implore you to tune into this episode all the way to the end. We share our honest thoughts, both pros and cons. It's been a wild ride.

We invite friend of the podcast Andy (aka Sparkeys) to share his history with Halo before we get into this week's controversial Halo TV series episode. From Andy: "Shoutout to my Halo buddies Corey Seese, Mike Zinsmeister, and Jeremy Winter! Also shoutout to my wonderful girlfriend Carly Kuhlman, who always "gives me something to think about."

Master Chief is the embodiment of what makes a character iconic. Join us as we dive deep into all things Halo. From season 2 content, episodes 6 & 7 of the TV series, all the way to the man in green himself. You do know how to pick 'em.

Halo Infinite has a bunch of new content on the way as the Halo television show gives us perhaps the best on screen representation of this universe yet. Our thoughts may surprise you.
