Zach has been a friend of mine for 6 1/2 years. He’s also a co-host on HFFL’s on Spirit of Fire podcast.
He took the ALS ice bucket challenge and nominated 3 other HFFL folks.
Good on ya Zach! Tetra, Pens, and Cheese, you’re on the clock buds.
I’d do this myself, but I just don’t have the extra funds to donate, otherwise, I’d have done this weeks ago.

Steve Downes and Jen Taylor the voice actors for Master Chief and Cortana respectively were nominated to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. They both stepped up to the plate. Check out the link below to watch!

I think it’s pretty darn cool they did it mostly in character too.

The following is a reblog from HaloWaypoint.
For this year’s show at PAX Prime, we’ll have Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 2: Anniversary playable on the show floor, a panel and panel signing, and The Halo PAX Prime Showdown tournament. You can qualify for The Halo PAX Prime Showdown at the ASTRO Gaming and Skullcandy Gaming booths on Friday, and only Friday. To watch the finals on Saturday and Sunday, just tune into Twitch.tv/Halo – the top 8 teams from the event will be duking it out for their share of $10,000.
