ilovebees truly walked so call of duty zombies could run 🙏

One piece of lore I love that I never see people talk about is the "Hunger" short story from the re-release of The Flood. It tells the story of a flood infection from the POV of the Infection form. It's creepy as hell.

Following the whole Iris campaign with my older brother back in the day, really was something else. Really can't understate how unsettling it was just the whole vibe of being in the earlier internet days downloading videos off of the forums and waiting for them to buffer in quicktime just to unravel cryptic messages of star coordinates and mysterious microorganisms.

As a Halo fan abroad (from Taiwan, to be specific), I've missed a lot of these ARG campaigns back in the days. Thanks to you, I now know what I Love Bees and Iris were all about!

Cortana letters make me nostalgic for something I never experienced. God Bungie meta lore is wild.

As an Iris alum who was there from the moment the "protesters" were found in times square and recieving that very first email with the "hidden link" I was hooked. I was one of the first 200 to unlock terminals 1 and 2, and was there for the others but the community had decided we would share the rewards with others who hadnt yet unlocked them yet. Ive kept the Iris symbol as my profile picture ever since. My gamerpic, the Tshirts and my print of the cradle of life comic from the first terminal are some of my favorite possession i have in my gaming life. Iris will always be a part of my life as it was one of the most fun and memorable summers of my life. The community coming together at HBO and then the ARG spinoff forum were all some of the best people you could explore halo with. Thanks for the video Luc and for reviving so many great memories ❤

It kinda sucks that we don't see many cryptic/mystery stories and ARGs in general these days (at least ones that gain wide spread attention). Espically in an era where everyone is constantly online, and telling stories like these should be incredibly easy now since you can reach a vast audience. Which is why I love Kane Pixel's Backrooms series, because how mysterious and cryptic it is and it shares alot of classic ARG elements (despite not really being an ARG).

There’s nothing better than a good old Hidden lore video after a long day 🙌🏼

WE LOVE HALO’S ANCIENT MYSTERIES

I love the way soma saw the flood approaching during a beautiful sunset. Its like the opposite of that saying about dawn being the darkest before day. Right at sunset, when night begins and the darkness comes. She sees the of the end of days at the end of the day. Purely symbolic.

I just love your storytelling and emotions. It is really immersive and your love for Halo Lore is leaking. Truly ICONIC

While I won't say I learned anything new, it was great to hear you go over some of the old Halo mysteries and stories that made part of my childhood great. I miss talking about this stuff with a few irl friends and the great people that used to be on the halo wiki. Gods I miss those times.

18:19 I've always wanted a Halo Reach spinoff where we play from the POV of the Succor spec ops crew during the Reach invasion, leading up to Alpha Halo. We could play as a customizable Kusovai, with Full-Jaw R'tas as our Carter and Thel as our Colonel Holland counterparts. Maybe foreshadow some Brute/Minor Prophet tension and some admiration for humans despite absolutely decimating them.

The 2000's era was a time that belonged to viral marketing campaigns. Seriously the way they were performed and how people manage to pull them off was phenomenal. We had Halo, District 9, Cloverfield etc. I remember being absolutely immersed in the Cloverfield viral marketing and I deadass thought some of it was actually real (I was 11 years old cut me some slack XD). As much as I wish we had more of this stuff in this day and age, sadly we will never get viral marketing campaigns on this level ever again due to how much the internet has evolved and how easy it is to debunk information. The reason they worked in the 2000's was because the internet was still in it's infancy and not many people knew if the information was real or fake. That's what made them so damn good.

Ah yes, nothing like a lore video to get my nostalgia cogs going

Dude your branch out content has been top tier, but I've missed these deep lore videos. Thank you for the amazing content!

so so so good! love these Halo lore videos! o7

My favorite has to be the deep dive on how every level of ODST relates perfectly to Dante's Inferno. It is absolutely insane... Great video as always!

My favorite piece of lore about ilovebees itself is that it existed on pay phones. During Hurricane Ivan a gamer went to one of the pay phones and the Bungie employee broke character and told him "Dude, it's a hurricane. Put the phone down."
