    Crossfade, from QsKGlobal.Com, put together ‘Colors’, a vid that tells the story of a lone soldier who must leave his family and friends to go to war. The MPRRS liked the cinematic effects, and the editing in general. Check it out! 32 mb for the WMP9 version, 31.3 mb for the QuickTime version.(Louis Wu 19:29:11…

    xbryboyremix submitted ‘Showdown’ to the MPRRS – it’s a samurai movie. A lone samurai that confronts the enemy in a showdown for honor. Nice atmosphere, great camera angles, short, stays on point. Fun film! Grab it in WMP9 format (15.2 mb) or QuickTime format (15.4 mb).(Louis Wu 15:53:14 UTC)

    Foo Mo Jive points out that Podtacular Episode 80 is out (yeah, we were late on 79, but hey, it’s nice to catch up) – it’s a tip show, focusing on Lockout, and there’s an interview with the creators of the Codex machinima series. A bit over an hour, 57 mb. Get to downloading!(Louis Wu…

  • A Discussion of Halo

    by

    in

    A fan calling himself Gravemind has written a massive (45,000 words) look at Halo and Halo 2, with an eye towards making Halo 3 a better game. Anyone interested in looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the first two Halo games, and how they might be optimized going into the third, could probably find…

  • RT: Out of Mind Part Five

    OoM Part 5, the final chapter of Out of Mind, is now available for sponsors to download. I hope that you are spending your holiday weekend somewhere less hot than Texas. I think I saw a rock melt today. That takes a lot of heat. If you find yourself in…

  • RT: Every Con I’ve ever been to…

    Hey it’s Saturday! I don’t know what plans you all have for the weekend, but I hope they include visiting us at either of the events we’re attending this weekend (CNE and DragonCon respectively). Joel won’t be at either event, but if he was, it would go…

  • RT: OoM V and the ATL

    The final episode of Red vs. Blue: Out of Mind is now available to the public. You can find it now in the RvB Video Archive. Geoff and I have been having a great time at DragonCon here in Atlanta, despite the absence of any real dragons….

  • RT: A little pick me up…

    First of all, thanks to everyone who came out to see us over the weekend at DragonCon and CNE. They were our last two conventions of the year, and it was nice to go out on a high note. Now, on to today’s comic… We like to put on our lab coats and “experiment”…

  • RT: Eternal Sleep

    Blah Blah Blah, It’s Thursday and I’m grumpy for no reason. Anyway, today’s comic focuses on LACM (life after cartoon Matt), as we all try to pick up the pieces and move on. No doubt, you are all doing the same. I know we will all honor him in our own special…

  • RT: What I did on my summer vacation…

    Yo, I’m going to make this short and sweet, as somehow I managed to catch some kind of monster flu/cold thing in the middle of the summer in Texas, and will probably be dead soon. I wonder how you know you have bird flu? Today’s comic is the final part…

  • RT: Man’s Best Friend

    It is way too early to be this awake right now, but I digress. Today’s comic takes a break from the standard of chastising gus (a completely worthwhile venture), to unnecessarily poke fun at yours truly. I’m not sure if I have the power to fire Luke and…

  • Libertyville High Halo – Bigger, Badder, Uncompressed

    in

    A couple of days ago, we mentioned a performance piece that had been YouTubed – a bunch of folks in high school, playing self-arranged Halo music to their peers. It was a pretty impressive piece; even Marty O’Donnell weighed in with praise. Well, over the next day or so, a bunch of the people involved…

  • Detailed Comparison Suggests Return To Franchise’s Roots For Halo 3

    Gravemind80 has produced what may well be the single most exhaustive commentary on the Halo series to date, covering not only comparisons to Halo 1 and Halo 2 including each weapon and every vehicle, but single player and multiplayer level design as well. He caps it off with a series of mostly level-headed suggestions for…

  • Monsters

    imSuck submitted another vid to the MPRRS – this one is set to Matchbook Romance’s ‘Monsters’. It does a pretty good job at getting into the idea of subjective evil – good and bad being more an issue of the side you’re on than absolute positions – and it has some great battle scenes. As…

  • A Warning From The Overlord

    Today, I had to deal with several users trying to get access to other’s Windows Live ID accounts. The culprits were simply tricking some of you into giving your password away. While this particular case has been dealt with, I thought a simple security refresher was in order.
