Some “Frequently Asked Questions” about Pyrosmile and MCT3k. Well, actually no one has really asked these yet… I just anticipate that at some point someone will. So… maybe “Future Asked Questions” is more appropriate. Yeah, that works.

How was Pyrosmile/MCT3K started?
Check out our about page for a short history about how this all got started.
Who does the voices for the characters?
Pyroman: Master Chief, Miranda Keyes, Sarge
mrsmiley: Arbiter, Guilty Spark
Who does the writing for MCT3K?
Pyroman and mrsmiley do the writing for BOTH the Arbiter and the Chief.
When are the episodes released?
Unfortunately, this is pretty much determined by the Machinima.com overlords for the most part. As of now, we do not have a regular release period, as we don’t have a “normal series” at the moment. Check the site often for new releases!
What recording equipment do you use?
Both Pyroman and mrsmiley proudly use Blue Snowball Microphones along with standard Pop Filters.
NOTE: Pyroman didn’t get his Snowball Mic until the season 1 finale episodes. Hence the crappy quality before, haha.
Do you guys record together?
Sadly, no. Pyroman lives in Bakersfield, CA, and mrsmiley lives in Sacramento, CA. They record their lines separately, and then use voice chat online to discuss them and make any changes. The have been able to make videos together on a couple rare occasions though.
Where did you get your Halo cutscenes?
We got our game clips from here, a sub-site of Halo.Bungie.org.
What software do you guys use to edit your movies?
Video: Vegas 8&9, Adobe After Effects CS4,
Audio: Sound Forge 8, Vegas
Do you guys plan on riffing anything besides Halo?
Yes.
Do you planning on riffing the first two Halo games?
Done.
Do you get paid for what you do?
Not much, but we do make some money for the videos of ours that are posted on YouTube by Machinima. All based on views.
Is mrsmiley the same guy who did Halo Babies?
Yes.
Is Pyroman that naked drunk guy I saw last week?
Yes. Yes he is.
