  • Halo 2 Cutscenes… now in Hi-Def

    Sometimes things only get done here when people do them, and then tell us about it. Not long ago, HaLo2FrEeEk, of Clan Infectionist, contacted us about some hi-def (720p) versions of the Halo 2 cutscenes he’d created, using Halo 2 PC. They were beautiful… and big. So we’re sharing the load. If you visit the…

  • Friday Caption Fun – a Hit

    Hawty McBloggy found that her Friday Caption Fun experiment last week went really well; there were over 100 entries from users, some of them very funny. Go read what folks thought of the last entry… and think up your own witticisms for the new one she just posted!(Louis Wu 15:13:36 UTC)

  • A Rare Humpday

    Bungie played the guys from Rare this week in their Halo Humpday Challenge – apparently, they were forced to play at the crack of daw- um, 9 am. Poor guys; I hate having to get up that early. Even with that ridiculous requirement, AND some sneaky player shenanigans… they STILL won (though only by a…

  • Humpday Challenge: Taking the Air out of Rare

    Cheery Cockney chappies their futuristic timezones collide with us this week. Some of the testers from Rare threw down the gauntlet.

  • Halo music from the Austin Wind Symphony

    Adam Grumbo let us know that the Austin Wind Symphony will be performing “The Music of Video Games” tomorrow night, at the Bethany Lutheran Church (which I assume is in Austin – the website makes ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of how to find the locale – there’s not even a street address to Google); Adam will…

  • Friendly antagonism

    Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip might actually provide an alternate explanation for Stuntmutt’s decision to retire One One Se7en…(Louis Wu 19:19:51 UTC)

  • The Making of a Custom Spartan Helmet

    Hawty McBloggy found a video made by Richiedude, of the 405th, showing the evolution of a fan-made Spartan helmet. Pretty cool!(Louis Wu 19:18:25 UTC)

  • RT: Facade

    Sorry today’s comic is a little late. I accidentally drank two bottles of wine this morning, and just realized i’ve been staring at a wall for 3 hours. Kids, don’t drink. dggeoff

  • RT: License to Drive…it into the ground.

    I am not a huge fan of TV. I have shows I like to watch, but the majority of time, I find myself making fun of whatever’s on. So, I can’t say that I was very concerned when I heard about the writer’s strike. Most sitcoms seem like they’re constructed by…

  • RT: Forced Enjoyment / New Contest

    Hey everybody, Jack here again with a brief update from the land of Forced Enjoyment as well as to kick off my next Halo 3 scavenger hunt contest for some pretty badass prizes. As you may have seen last week I began volume two of Forced Enjoyment…

  • RT: Social Responsibility

    Griffon has insisted that I preface this comic by saying that it is 100% true, and that she should not have to go to hell for writing it, as it was really more like transcription. dggeoff

  • RT: Grifball.com and the World of Tomorrow

    Why hello there! My name’s Ben, I’m a newbie to the Rooster Teeth team. Some of you may know about our totally awesome Grifball.com website. If you don’t know about it, I just told you, so that’s sort of a paradox. Either way, I’m the dude in charge of running…

  • RT: Drunk Tank Week 8

    This week’s guest in the tank is our resident comic writer, Griffon. Metal Gear Solid 4’s creator says that the game won’t fit on a 50 GB disc. [link] Geoff — Sounds proportionate to the people who’ll be playing it. Jason — I just watched…

  • RT: Like father like…

    Ahoy-Hoy all, I don’t know if you’ve seen the latest Bungie update, but in it, they announce that Grifball is being added as an official Halo 3 gametype this weekend. Head on over there for specifics. This is hands down one of the coolest moments in Rooster…

  • Halo 3: The Show

    Sep7imus alerted us to a note on the website of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, a Hollywood comedy theater. On Thursday, March 20, at 9:30 pm, they’re hosting ‘Halo 3: The Show’, based on (well, duh) Halo 3. A panel of celebrities (including Halo 3 voice actors Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk) will discuss the…
