info_outlineWelcome to Shortcast! These episodes are sponsored by our supporters on our ko-fi, and cover games that can't fill a full Bookclub season, and aren't locked to just RPGs!
This Time: We play Levels One through Five of Halo: Combat Evolved, ending after the cutscene where Cortana sends us out of the control room to go stop Captain Keyes.
Next Time: We finish the fight, as well as talk about some multiplayer!
If you'd like to play Halo, and somehow don't have a copy, you can pick up the disk for the OG Xbox (playable on all 3 xbox consoles) for a few bucks, the Anniversary Edition (playable on 360 and Xbone) for about 15 bucks on disk, and 25 bucks on download from the Xbox Marketplace, or the Master Chief Collection, for Xbone and Steam for about 60 bucks, which also gets you the whole series.
There was also an old PC version of Halo 1 available that you can probably find out there somewhere.
If you'd like us to cover more short games, help us get a long game out of the way first, and head over to ko-fi.com/rpgbookclub and donate! All donations go towards unlocking the next Short/LongCast series.
