[SPEC] The .wav files origin Okay, I posted this to another thread, but I'm going to give it another shot here, in the hopes to actually get some notice. It was buried pretty quick earlier.
I was just looking on imdb.com for the Halo 2 cast list, thinking that if we could identify the voices we might be able to tell what exactly it is that we have been listening to. In other words, is it in game movie clips? The start of Halo: The Animated Series, etc.?
I also thought we might be able to match some of the names we've heard to in game characters, since they're usually listed with the cast.
Now, what's strange is that while there is a listing for Halo 2, when I clicked the link for the entire cast, the page comes up blank. It's like they don't want us to have that page, and I can only assume that Bungie could politely ask them not to display it until closer to release (and perhaps after ILB has run its course.)
So am I being paranoid or what? You tell me. Here's the link to the IMDB listing: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412799/
The link for more of the storyline doesn't work either.

IMDB relies on user-submitted information, mostly: FAQ about this here .
It's almost certainly all blank simply because there isn't any reliable info on the game yet, and not because Bungie's made any kind of request to IMDB.

Fair enough, but I'm still somewhat suspicious. (Or maybe I'm just being dense.)
I guess what's mostly bugging me is that there is the beginning of a plot summary, the beginning of the cast, but the detailed pages are missing.

they all worked fine for me, there just isn't much info there, because all we really know is master chief jumps off a ship, on to the earth..and then he runs around and steals a ghost
okay we know a little more, but that just sounded funny.

Okay, so NOW they work fine, sure. But what about BEFORE? See, NOW they know they're being watched carefully. So they release an edited version of the page and...
Okay, I can't keep it up. Temporary web error + too much ILB= a paranoid SaintConfused. Forget I brought it up at all.

It also depends on who does their VO, and if it's Union or non-Union... I know that, sometimes, if it's a non-union job, you can't list who does what voice, only list the names of the (non-union) voice actors.
... And I thought it was "I shoot with my heart."?

Ah, gentle correction, HitsHerMark. While you kill with the heart, you shoot with the mind.
If, of course, you have remembered the face of your father...

Now, if only we can get King to actually FINISH the series instead of going off to the side like Wolves of Callas or doing other things. HATE being teased....

Out of curiostity, Tony, what did you mean by
