Forced Enjoyment 4, Chapter 2
Please enable JavaScript to enjoy this flash-based video. Find out how at this link.
Today brings forth the next Forced Enjoyment video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I hated making it. The framerate issues that you see in the video are due to the game, not to the capture/editing. Apparently the graphics processor in the Xbox couldn’t handle all the crab awesomeness.

G.R.I.E.F. Trailer
You might remember Smooth Few Films – they’ve been making machinima for quite some time (with lots of accolades), and have dipped their toes in the Halo 3 world (The Over-Achiever, The Bag Boy, The GunStop Way) – looks like they’re back, with a trailer for an upcoming project called ‘G.R.I.E.F’. As usual, high production values, huge potential – looking forward to the actual series! Huzzah! Thanks, Rosco-128.(Louis Wu 12:56:01 UTC)

In-Game Portraits, Made to Order
You might remember last week there was a mention of Project Pangea, in which The Handmade Hero was building portrait screenshots of those who asked. He was kind enough to build one for me – I hadn’t realized I WANTED one, but the final result is actually very nice. (Bungie.net is really iffy right now, so if that link doesn’t work, try it later.) If you like what you see, contact him!(Louis Wu 17:17:23 UTC)

Weta’s Unique Statues – Nearly Gone
A couple of days ago, the Weta Workshop released their second podcast – there’s an interesting interview covering the development of the Halo 3 silver collectibles. Three of those four unique pieces have now been sold on eBay – Master Chief and Grunts finished up at $3,050, Master Chief and Arbiter at $2,113.88, and Master Chief and Flood brought in $1,843.81. The silver Cortana statue is currently at $1,650, but I doubt it’ll finish there; the auction ends in about nine hours – if you want a shot at this, you’d be well-advised to be online at 6:29 pm PDT, for that last-minute bid. Go listen to the podcast, and then get ready for that final bidding!(Louis Wu 16:16:56 UTC)

OmGs’ Halo 2 Montage 3
Z pointed out OmGs’ 3rd Halo 2 Montage – I don’t miss Halo 2’s gameplay at all, but I do have to say, I miss those maps! Almost 7 minutes long, a hefty 290 mb. Check it out.(Louis Wu 13:59:48 UTC)

Arby ‘n’ the Chief S3E02: Wedding
Will Ludwig was the first to point out the latest Arby ‘n’ the Chief episode, but Xmoosev3 provided a link that gives you creator notes, and links to both Machinima.com and YouTube versions. The video itself is just over 8 minutes long, and shows what happens when Arby and the Chief go to a Halo wedding. I gotta say, it was pretty funny. I feel almost bad saying that. But it was.(Louis Wu 13:53:23 UTC)

SBG BTB Tourney – The Finals are On
We got writeups from both TruthPastor SBG and NAMLOCO SBC about the SBG BTB Tourney Semifinals – Saved by Grace was victorious over the Swat Krue, and Tied the Leader beat Outcast Reborn, so these two teams (SBG and TTL) will meet in the upcoming finals. If you want to watch the SBG matches, they’re in NAMLOCO’s fileshare (dated August 19). The TTL games are in TTL Gilthanis’ fileshare (same date). Close matches, good games… and the showdown will take place at the TTL Labor Day LAN in Chicago! Good luck to both teams.(Louis Wu 13:25:01 UTC)

Halo: The Ballet
Taco Power was asked by a friend for a song to use in a university project demonstrating modern ballet – the end result mixed ‘Halo’ and ‘The Siege of Madrigal’. The dancers are amateurs – but it’s pretty cool to see Halo used in this context!(Louis Wu 13:23:37 UTC)

AH TV goes live in one hour!
Just a reminder, Achievement Hunter TV goes live in approximately 1 hour. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Geoff will not be attending (he is seeing a doctor about his MASSIVE CRAB OUTBREAK). The part of Geoff will be played by another actor to be named later.
Anyway, if you want to see us kicking ass in Madden ’09 check here in just about an hour!
Let me reiterate: the CRABS WERE MASSIVE.

AH TV: Great Success!
Alright folks, Achievement Hunter TV had another successful broadcast. In just a couple hours of play I managed 12 achievements for 410 gamerscore. We had over 650 unique viewers during that time as well. You guys kick ass!!
For those of you keeping count, I (Jack) have picked up a total of 18 achievements live on Achievement Hunter TV, Geoff has picked up 0. Zero. Geoff = Virgin, Jack = Wilt Chamberlain.
For those of you who missed the broadcast, I managed to save pretty much the entire damn thing in three parts. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
Special thanks goes out to Fantasy Football Fools for sponsoring this madness!
Geoff’s crabs go MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH!

EA does viral RIGHT
This pretty awesome. Levinator25 on YouTube uploaded a video from last year’s Tiger Woods title showing off what he considered a funny glitch:
Some companies would probably get all pissy, showing off a bug in their title. Well, like all good programmers say, “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.” EA responds with this:
Now that is some badass marketing. Bravo EA.

Today we pick up three different touchdown achievements in Madden NFL 09, and I embarass myself in front of the entire internet…for your pleasure. I expect this to hit Digg and then I have to get reconstructive surgery to hide from the shame. Enjoy!
