Alright, this might take some time to explain and may contain spoilers to the Halo 2 site ilovebees.com...

So, as many of you know (or don't know) when Halo 2 was released, a mini site was set up. The URL was flashed for only a moment during the Halo 2 theatrical commercials. Before the game came out this site hosted a so called "Alternate Reality Game" where real people could interact with this character though random payphones and get more content about the game. Don't ask me, I found the site way after it was all said and done...alright, where was I? On this site is a set of "radio dramatizations"(for lack of a better phrase) and one of the main characters was a young doctor(he was a graduated med student not assigned to a hospital) named Kamal. As the story progressed, you found out that his younger sister was kidnapped by a government agency and used in creating a weapon project (for those in the know, it was the SPARTAN II and the ONI AIs...Where is this all going?

Think about it...Young brilliant doctor...with a kidnapped, tortured and crazy sister? Haven't we seen this before?

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Some of the better ones are "Red Button"/"Heroes"

I used some software and turned a few of the Wav files into Mp3s so I could put them on the Ipod...

Anyway, I thought that would be an interesting note...

Umm, I guess it takes all types. I play a fair bit of Halo2 myself, but this stuff ? How die hard must some folks be for them to have produced this stuff.......I'm short on words here.

I don't know about Firefly references, but I did catch quite a few Starship Troopers references.

Well here's the thing, this was Bungie /Mircosoft run...it was quite impressive if you think about it...all I wanted to say, Kamal and Simon are similar in many ways

While not 'Firefly' related, there is of course the Joss Whedon connection w/ Halo2, sorta. Julie Benz a.k.a Darla from Angel, is the voice of Miranda Keyes.

Hmm... Miranda
