Well, I'm not trying to be a party pooper here, but the truth is, if you're going to pick up a phone and pretend that who you're speaking to is anything but an actress, then you shouldn't break that fourth wall either, and say "I LOVE HALO!!!" It's just bad form. I know you were most likely joking, by the couple of smileys on your post, but this didn't deserve its own topic then... But if you were serious, then it's a serious "behind the curtain" event to bring the game "Halo" into this instance. It would be an inconsistency that would make Melissa have to do something strange or just plain hang up, to deal with, in-game... It's just bad form... (sorry for repeating that, but it's what separates us from those who make up 99.999% of the posts to Dana's Blog, for instance...)

I absolutely agree, though I do think that Scarr is on to something. Alas, next weeks question will be something different (assuming there will even be more questions), but I think that a brilliant answer would have been "Marathon", "Myth", or "Oni" (to wit, these are games developed by Bungie, who created Halo). Clearly not a meta answer , but more of a sly wink that might illicit a good response.

Of course, I think that the best conversations have been the most relaxed and "natural". My favorite story is Krystyn's -- she wasn't trying to be "in character", and didn't have time to fully parse out her answers and think of anything "clever"... and the result is one of the more interesting dialogues that we've with Melissa seen so far.

I think I would have been more subtle and chosen "craps." Since the object is to get a "7" which is a sly reference to Bungie also Razz
