Posted on by

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.

Now that the first two HUNTtheTRUTH commercials have been revealed, I take a look at certain images of each that are near identical to one another and delve a little deeper into the possible meaning between them.

If you haven’t seen the video on YouTube yet, check them out HERE (Locke) and HERE (Chief).

Okay, now that you’ve looked at them, let’s look at those comparable shots. The top portion is from Locke’s commercial, while the bottom, is Chief’s. Continue reading →

HUNT the TRUTH Episode 01: A Hairline Fracture

This is a reblog from http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com:

Master Chief was born in the metropolis of Elysium City. Then known as John, he grew up like any kid in the Outer Colonies. Childhood playmates and school teachers share charming stories. But what happens when a single document throws everything into question?

      Episode 01. A HAIRLINE FRACTURE - Keegan-Michael Key

SPOILERS BELOW (if you didn’t listen to the episode above.)

Okay, now that you’ve listened to it, what do you think? We know that John was kidnapped at 6 years old. So his clone lasted for a whopping 6 years! Current records indicate all of the other clones died weeks after replacing the Spartan child candidates.

The comment by Dion, regarding everyone who went through the glassing of their planet and John rising up to do what he did, honoring the rest of the planet, is inspiring!

Video of the Avalanche remake in Halo Online (the PC game)

I found this through my friends at Podcast Evolved.

I wish the guy who made the vid would have gone into the bases as well as the side teleport rooms. He missed some very important parts of the map.

Seeing that the bases are UNSC really has me interested.

I did put a comment on his vid asking him to show us that too. If he does, I’ll repost it here.
