The Spirit of Fire podcast episode 15: Locke and Master Chief commercials discussion

Spirit of Fire Podcast LOGO_R-sm

On Sunday, March 29, 2015, two Halo 5 Guardians commercials aired during the season finale of the Walking Dead. The first featured Locke, while the latter featured Master Chief. Both were near exact in shot and sequence, but with very different dialog. These were part of the beginning of the HUNTtheTRUTH campaign, leading up to Halo 5.

In this podcast, my co-host Zach and I discuss those two commercials at length comparing scenes. In fact, if you want to follow along with what were talking about in a visual manner, open up this link in another window.

Beyond this, we talk more about the HUNTtheTRUTH campaign. Specifically Episode 1: A Hairline Fracture of the Benjamin Giraud reports.

After this we discuss the newly amounted Halo Online game.

So please listen in on our discussion and let us know what you think about the topics we discussed as well as our speculation on it. Oh, I should note, my microphone wasn’t picking up my voice as well the whole time. So the volume of my voice seems to drop a little, then raise back up. Apologies on that. I’ll be looking into that issue to fix this for the next podcast.

This episode of the Spirit of Fire runs about one hour and 20 minutes.

The Spirit of Fire podcast episode 14: The Halo Master Chief Collection: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Spirit of Fire Podcast LOGO_R-sm

In this episode, we talk about all things regarding the Halo Master Chief Collection. The title says it all, the good, bad and ugly. Before you take a listen, I want to point out that I really don’t like having podcasts with a negative tone, this one however does have that tone to a degree that draw from my personal experience with the game as well as my co-host Martin. It also includes anecdotal info from fellow Halo gaming friends of mine and their experience with the game so far. Continue reading

The Spirit of Fire podcast E3 2014 edition!

Spirit of Fire Podcast LOGO_R-sm

We recorded this shortly after the reveal of the Master Chief collection. It would have been done LIVE, but I had some technical issues. Those being I had WAY too many windows open. 4 live streams, the blog, twitter, Waypoint and more….My computer just couldn’t handle all the Halo goodness. The program I use to record crashed, so we had to record after. Unfortunately that meant that Martin one of my co-hosts wouldn’t be on as it was already about 2am his time in Australia.

However, my co-host and long-time friend Zach was with me. We talk for about 45 minutes regarding the Master Chief Collection. Here is is about 5 hours after and I’ve got SO much more to talk about. But I’ve left that to blog articles, preceding this one and forthcoming.

An extra edition of the Spirit of Fire Podcast: Halo 5 Guardians Theories!

Spirit of Fire Podcast LOGO_R-sm

We just recorded a podcast two days ago…Yet here we are again. This time Martin and I (well mostly me) talk about my theories about the new character as well as the location of the concept art.

You’ll forgive me that my voice might sour a little muted. With all of the talking I did with other fans about Halo 5 Guardians in the past two days, my throat has become a little irritated. But I just HAD to get these theories out to you to listen too and hopefully form theories for yourself.

Fore-warning…a bit into this episode, my dog passed gas…I had to turn the fan on, so it may be a little hard to hear for a couple of minutes. (Apologies on that, and YES IT WAS MY DOG! lol)

Without further ado, here is our episode. Spirit of Fire: Halo 5 Guardians Theories
