  • No Dev Kit For You!

    by

    in

    KP pointed out that in lieu of a real Halo Humpday Challenge, there’s another Halo 3 random match writeup; you can pore over it for clues about Halo 3 multiplay, as some on our forum have done… or you can read it and be amused and move on. Clearly, it was written specifically so that…

  • Xbox 360 To Get 100Gb Hard Drive?

    Spong is reporting that the X06 Korea event gave details on a 100Gb hard drive unit for the Xbox 360. No official confirmation, or word on pricing or availability. Not sure why such news would surface first in Korea, so take this with the usual helping of salt you reserve for Spong stories. UPDATE: Microsoft…

  • Universal, Fox Pull out of Halo Movie Deal

    in

    Wow. Big news this morning involves the Halo movie – looks like Universal and Fox have both pulled out of the deal, citing fears of ballooning costs, and an unwillingness on Microsoft’s part to budge on the existing deal. According to Variety, where I read this story (thanks, runnersdialzero), this doesn’t spell the end of…

  • Fox, Universal Pull Funding For Halo Movie

    Cinema Blend and CanMag have two completely different takes on the same event. Apparently, just before making an initial payment, Universal and Fox asked Microsoft and the producers to lower their profit-sharing on the Halo movie. Microsoft refused, and now Fox and Universal are out of the picture. Cinema Blend says this means the Halo…

  • Humpday: Community Team FFA

    Last night the Community Team had a few Free-For-All Halo 3 games which ended up being the Humpday for this week. Don’t expect to find any new Halo 3 info, but if you enjoy general Halo tactics and vagueries then this Humpday’s for you! And yes, it was because Xbox Live was borked.

  • RT: Monday Monday

    Its Monday morning and you know what that means – time to get back to your lousy excuse for a job. Since you’re probably not doing any real work anyway, why not check out Episode 79 of Red vs Blue? You can get the Quicktime version here or the WMV over…

  • RT: Fighting the good fight

    I’m typing this from the office during a creepy storm. As always, Burnie and Matt are scared and hiding in the closet. Apparently the thunder is too much for them. Anyway, I should wrap this while we still have power. Today’s comic is below.

  • RT: It’s all about trust

    It’s Thursday and someone in the back of the office is blaring the Ramones, which is really odd since no one back there has any taste in music. They usually listen to Celine Dion or Clay Aiken. I guess I should stopping looking a gift horse in the mouth…

  • RT: Friday the 13th / Episode the 80th

    So despite Jason running around the office today in a hockey mask trying to scare us, Matt and I were able to finish Episode 80. It’s now up in the video archive for sponsors, and will be available to the public at it’s usual time on Monday (assuming anyone…

  • RT: Hangover city

    Today’s comic is posted below – barely. I’m so hungover right now that typing on my keyboard feels like being punched in the brain. Remind me never to party with two-year-olds. I can’t hang.

  • RT: It’s official…

    Today the Rooster Teeth community site officially surpassed 500,000 registered users. That means there are now 100,000 users for each full-time staff member. Try to take it easy on us. Thanks to everyone for making this site what it is, and…

  • RT: Episode 80 and RT Comic

    Heyo, I have a bunch of crap to talk about today. First and foremost is that Episode 80 went public yesterday. You can get it here if you haven’t already. Also, today’s comic is posted below. All I will say about it is that truth really is stranger than…

  • RT: Matt is a jerk

    Today’s comic touches on the fact that Matt is an inconsiderate jerk. Everyone in the office knows it, and now you can too. Also, Burnie will be speaking at The University of Chicago in Champaign Urbana Saturday. So, if you are bored and in the area, check…

    Doug Godfrey has been working on his own Halo models for a while (search our news database if you’d like to see older bits) – recently he submitted a work montage to the MPRRS, and they liked it. It’s a teaser of what’s to come – it’s only a minute long. You can grab it…

    A TTL Gunslinger stopped by to point out a new article at Tied the Leader – a discussion of the 24 hour XBL blackout that took place a couple of days ago. Fun read! There’s also a clan profile of Podtacular – go read!(Louis Wu 16:28:02 UTC)

  • Community Heatlamp Special Edition: BrentGamer

    This week, I had a chance to interview a man who loved by Podtacular Members everywhere. Unfortunately, I’m too lazy to do an interview with that guy just yet, so I present to you a Special Edition of Community HeatLamp where I interview myself, BrentGamer. How are you doing today Brent? I’m doing pretty good.…

    downrodeo found a short excerpt from Ghosts of Onyx at a Canadian Amazon website – if you’re not afraid of spoilers, go read! (I’m not saying there ARE spoilers – I’m saying that there isn’t a single unified idea of what ‘spoiler’ means in this community, and it’s almost guaranteed that some of you will…
