Podcasts about Halo 2

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Paul Sztorc, CEO of Layer2 Labs, about Bitcoin's evolution, the limitations of the Lightning Network, and how his ideas for drivechains and merge-mined sidechains could transform scalability and privacy on the Bitcoin network. They cover everything from Zcash's zero-knowledge proofs and “moon math” to the block size wars, sound money, and the economic realities behind crypto hype cycles. Paul also explains his projects like Zside and Thunder, which aim to bring features like Zcash-style privacy and high-speed transactions to Bitcoin.

He describes Zcash as a model for achieving anonymity through zero-knowledge proofs and explains how Layer2 Labs aims to bring that same level of privacy to Bitcoin without introducing a new altcoin or token.The failure of current Layer 2 solutions: Paul argues that existing Bitcoin Layer 2s like Lightning and Rootstock are flawed—either custodial, inefficient, or deceptive. He compares today's crypto landscape to the dot-com bubble, full of overhyped projects and scams that will collapse before the genuine solutions survive.Sound money and political accountability: The discussion expands beyond technology to economics, as Paul highlights how unsustainable government debt and spending distort incentives. He believes Bitcoin could restore discipline to fiscal systems by forcing real accounting and limiting the political capacity to inflate or borrow endlessly.Corporate Bitcoin strategies are often misguided: Paul criticizes companies like MicroStrategy for treating Bitcoin as a speculative treasury asset instead of using it for real utility. He argues that investors should just buy Bitcoin directly rather than buy shares in companies that hold it, since intermediaries introduce unnecessary risk, fees, and opacity.Drivechains as Bitcoin's missing scalability link: Sztorc presents drivechains, outlined in his proposal BIP300, as the practical way to scale Bitcoin. Drivechains allow multiple Layer 2s to exist simultaneously, each optimized for specific features like privacy, larger blocks, or smart contracts, all while using the same 21 million BTC.Lightning Network's structural limitations: Paul dismantles Lightning's core assumptions, pointing out that it cannot scale globally because each channel requires on-chain transactions and constant liquidity maintenance. He calls Lightning a “Theranos of Bitcoin,” arguing that it distracts the community from genuine, scalable innovation.Merge mining and the path to Bitcoin's future: The episode concludes with Paul describing merge mining as the mechanism that unites L1 and L2 securely, letting miners earn more revenue without extra work. He envisions a Bitcoin ecosystem where optional, diverse L2s provide privacy, speed, and flexibility—anchored by a lean, reliable L1 base.

I denne episode snakker Johannes, Alexander og Anders om Halo 2 – spillet der tog alt det fede fra etteren og skruede op for det hele.Vi dykker ned i historien om Master Chief, der vender tilbage for at redde Jorden (igen), og The Arbiter, der pludselig begynder at stille spørgsmål ved hele Covenant-religionen. Der er kæmpe aliens, religiøse fanatikere, plot twists og en slutning, der efterlod alle med åben mund.Der bliver nørdet, gennemgået historien fra ende til anden og snakket om, hvorfor Halo 2 stadig holder den dag i dag.Så læn dig tilbage, og kom med os tilbage til dengang Xbox'en glødede og "Finishing this fight" blev et ikonisk øjeblik.Klippet af Emil Holt Hosted on Acast.

That and a hell of a lot more.

This week we talk about Halo 2's Anniversary content, Death Stranding finally coming to Xbox consoles, Nintendo confirming features for their next console, and more. Happy 20th Anniversary to Jak 3, Ratchet and Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal, Everquest 2, and Halo 2.

Halo 2 is 20 years old this week and I intend to celebrate that. Halo Studios already seems better than 343i. College football is coming down the stretch and I have some thoughts about the playoff committee's initial rankings.

Starting off with a new piece of homebrew for the PS4 which allows modified PS4 owners to watch 3D videos on their 3D enabled displays or even PSVR headsets! The original Xbox gets some more love with the release of Xbox Content Archive Tool and the Halo 2 HD patch, the latter of which allows for Halo 2 to run at proper 480p or of course HD resolutions natively. We also cover a lack of MIG Switch updates, news of a clone device called the UnlockSwitch... All coming back to MIG Switch? PSP also gets a ton of love with the Aiseirigh unbricker finally being released for ALL models of the PSP, along with a new cIPL and a new release of Despertar del Cementario which also all work on ALL models!

You read that correctly, the state of the gaming world is unreal, as in Unreal Engine. As the GDC is fully underway, there was still a lot of news to get through. From Epic games having their state of Unreal, to Saber Interactive breaking free from Embracers embrace, to the failure of the PSVR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection taking a nosedive. Also Popeye, The Cat in the Hat, and The Never Ending Story are all making some kind of comeback, The Acolyte gets its first trailer, and Dune Pt. 2 continues to sizzle as the box office. That and a whole lot more.

A bit of a late episode this month, but we have a jam packed one! Tons of original Xbox news this time around with an HD patch for Halo 2 in the works on top of Halo 2 being back online on Insignia. Unlocking orphaned hard drives for the original Xbox becomes easier thanks to PrometheOS. We also see an awesome advancement for Xbox modchips with Modxo, a script which allows custom Xbox BIOS to be flashed to a RP2040! The PS3 is still getting updates almost 18 years later in the form of 4.91 so we cover the firmware update as well as the latest custom firmware released for it, PS3HEN, HFW, and PS3 Toolset all updated for 4.91 support. The bulk of this episode here goes over the start, and finish, of the lawsuit against the Yuzu team.

This time, we play Halo 2 and relive our most fond memories!

This episode has long been in the making. Back in August I shared on social media that I finally was having my mom on the show, though I kept it vague as to what she was coming on to talk about. This episode is a bit hard to describe what it's about, but at it's core it is a very personal episode for me. I'm joined by my Mom, my friend CJ and my friend Jamie to talk about the various memories of gaming growing up. And while this isn't focused solely on memories of a games, console or genre; it is focused on memories of gaming with friends.... kinda. In the episode I call it gaming in a social space, if that even makes sense. This episode is filled with stories of times when I would play games outside of the standard living room setup or the classic game night sleepover. It is about the times when video games were bigger than the worlds they inhabited on the TV. This episode is about Rocking Chairs, Halo 2 and LAN Parties.   Songs used: 1: Name: Donkey Kong 64: Jungle Japes (Vector U Remix) Artist: Vector U Album: N/A https://soundcloud.com/vector-u/jungle-japes 2: Name: Dragon Roost Island Artist: Mikel Album: Zelda & Chill https://gamechops.com/zelda-and-chill/ 3: Name: Sierra-117 Artist: Laura Platt Album: N/A https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03198 4: Name: ReMix - StarCraft "Creep Colony" Artist: Cory Johnson Album: N/A https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04269 5: Name: Melee (Smash Bros Remix) Artist: James Landino Album: Smooth McGroove Remixed https://gamechops.com/smooth-mcgroove-remixed/ 5: Name: Out of Time  Artist: Mykah Album: Halloween EP https://gamechops.com/halloween/ 6: End Song: Escape from the City (City Escape) Artist: Super Lofi 64 Album: N/A https://gamechops.com/escape/   Check out the Bit by Bit Foundation! https://www.bitbybitfoundation.org/ Support the Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod Want to buy some Still Loading merch? https://www.teepublic.com/user/still-loading-podcast

In 2022, we -- the Brothers Moriarty -- sat down to discuss Xbox's seminal 2001 launch offering, Halo: Combat Evolved. We loved it, and we promised that we'd get to Halo 2 one day. Well, today is that day. Released late in 2004, at the back-end of Xbox's truncated lifecycle, Halo 2 is widely-considered one of the Xbox brand's highest-quality and most important games in its two decade-plus history. And candidly, we can see why. With expert gunplay, a fun sci-fi story, and a brisk runtime reminiscent of its generation (and which we frankly long for today), Halo 2 has us not only gushing about a title one-in-three OG Xbox owners purchased -- which is an insane attach rate -- but has us longing to play Halo 3, too, which we will certainly be getting to in short order here on KnockBack.
