Chat transcript here.
We've just been in the LPU chat with Mike, heres a roundup of what he told us:

The Ipod/ Iphone game:

• The game takes place in low resolution where you defeat an organisation that wants people to use high resolution. 
• Should be out in January 
• There will be A NEW SONG at the end of the game.

New LP album:

• Fewer but longer songs
• Artwork for the new album is already in progress and will be the best artwork yet.
• Theres a mix of Mike and Chester on the next album and one of the songs have a lot of rapping in them
• Will probably be explicit
• Lots of topics covered
• He wont confirm that Rick Rubin will be producing the album 
• There could be instrumental parts on the album

Other news:

• May be some fan packages with DSPs available soon
• They'll discuss the possibility of another LPU tour before they tour the next album.
• No plans for a Fort Minor album hes channeling his Fort Minor energy in new LP album
• Mikeshinoda.com is moving to wordpress to make it easier to use and connect with the web.
• It is unlikely that they will play much of the older (HTEP) stuff at shows.
• Mike sang and did the beat on a Cypress Hill track for their new album.
• Mike has a set of iGoogle headers coming out soon. 
• He said he might put up the tracks he did for the VMAs on mikeshinoda.com.
• The new LP.com will be designed around the game and LPU members will be asked to beta-test it soon.

We will get the transcript up ASAP.

Looking forward to hearing the Cypress Hill track and seeing the iGoogle headers.
