Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk will all be lending their voices to Halo 3 in what appears to be a large portion of the game. you will play the main character of the game, a character called “The Rookie”, who has very little to say. However, the three whedonverse actors will make up the other members of your team. In the case of Nathan Fillion, you will not only hear the actor, but also see him. When the character removes his helmet, he has a striking resemblance to Nathan.

If you are looking for a sample of what the characters will sound like in the game, look no further than the recently released HALO ODST ViDoc. The “trailer” is narrated by Nathan Fillion’s character, and introduces each member of the team. It gives you a good opportunity to hear each of the other actors in turn. Check it out:

20th Century Fox and The Multiverse Network announced today that they are working on a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Massively Multiplayer Online game.

The game will be unique to the growing number of MMOs in the market by having two modes- a 2D flash, web-based version, and a fully 3D world with a dedicated client. The game will be hosted inside Multiverse’s “Multiverse Places”.

Very little was said about the gameplay or story,  the only tidbit of info came from the Executive Producer of Multiverse, Corey Bridges, who said “when the Buffy team finished the television series, they created the perfect launching point for an MMO, where everyone will feel like they’re an important character in the ongoing story.” This seems to imply a connection to the current Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 comic book series, featuring hundreds of activated Slayers acting as a paramilitary unit.

This announcement also lead to the very unfortunate news that Fox is delaying further development and release of the announced-in-2006 MMO, Firefly. Originally set to be released in 2008, the game has yet to have any major presence; no screenshots, trailers, or betas have hit the scene, and now it seems none will until the Buffy game is completed.

The Buffy MMOs push into development includes a beta later this year.

We are very proud of how this episode turned out because of the new equipment and just the fact that we are getting more comfortable in front of the microphone. You will notice a HUGE jump in quality today.

First things first, we had to give some love to our new friends over at http://www.singleservingofcoke.com. These two were an inspiration for us to loosen up and be more natural. Plus they have to be one of the funniest podcasts we’ve come across so far.

The best news was given at the top of the show, though. My sister has converted to Buffism. Then we answered a request by Buddy at SSOC by giving our favorite buffy episodes.

SaberJ (Randy):
1. Once More With Feeling
2. Hush
3. Chosen

Freak_Zombie (Wayne):
1. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
2. Doppelgangland

Then I brought up Adam Curry and his Gnomedex Speech. Then I gave my take on the future of online content.

Randy brought the news this week and we got alot of info for you.

We then reviewed War of the Worlds. I gave it 5 out of 5 and Randy gave it 3 1/2 out of 5. I have a feeling that we will never agree on movies.
