Big-Ern over at Battleground: Halo got the man himself (no, not The Man, he left Bungie awhile ago) to interview him about his involvement in the Bungie community, what it takes to keep HBO purring along like the sleek white blue-eyed albino kitten it clearly is, and some other stuff about goats that we won't mention.
