  • RT: New site design!

    Hey guys. It’s Monday, and not only do we have a new episode of Red vs. Blue for you later today (9PM Central), we’re also pushing out our brand new site design. Sponsors have been testing this over the weekend for us and we’ve had some great feedback. So, I suppose you want to know, what’s new? This new design isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade, there are some brilliant new features that will hopefully make the site easier to use.

    1. Search


    You may have used our search tool before, but it was pretty difficult to find, and it didn’t always bring up relevant results. Now, we’ve pulled a Google, and we’re placing Search prominently on the new navigation bar (more on that in a second). Not only do we have a new placement for the search form, we also autocomplete your results! Try searching for a character, and we’ll bring up results that include that character. What can you search for? Just about every damn thing. Your friends, users you’re watching, comments you’re watching, forum threads you’re watching, games you’re playing, tournaments you’re participating in, Forum Mods, Site Admins and RT Staff profiles, and video series such as Red vs. Blue or Captain Dynamic that you may want quick access to. You can even use your keyboard to quickly navigate these results, use the up and down arrow keys to navigate, and hit the enter key to go to that result. Simples!

    2. Carousel


    We’ve got a brand new module on the front page that we think you’ll like. We call it the “Carousel”. It will, every few seconds, rotate through some of our newest videos and links of interest. It looks pretty shiny and it means you can catch up on what’s new in Rooster Teeth really quickly, and really efficiently.

    3. The Awesome Bar


    We have a new navigation bar. It looks great, it feels great, it makes love great. It follows you down the page as you scroll, so you can easily navigate to any section of the site without having to scroll all the way back up. Say for instance, you’re in a forum thread, and you want to go back to My Homepage. You can just hover over “Members”, and click your way back home. Easy peasy.

    However, we recognise that some users have really small screen real estate (like those on netbooks), so we’ve created an optional setting to allow you to turn off the auto-scrolling. You can turn it on and off as you please, no hard feelings.

    4. User Wall


    We have a massive community, and we wanted to surface our users even more. We wanted to find a way to showcase logged in users on every single page, not just on the “Users Online” page, which at the time seemed like an insane idea. Several design iterations later, we settled on what you see now: the User Wall. It sits on the footer of every single page on our site and pops up the avatars of users signing in, and you can even click on them to go to that user’s profile. It’s a really cool design and you can find yourself watching it for minutes at a time as people pass by.

    But again, the feedback from Sponsors has shown us that not everybody wants to have this distraction (it’s just too good), so we’ve made another optional setting to let you turn off the user wall completely.

    5. New Site for Comics


    RT Comics now has its own website at roosterteethcomics.com! It also has a feature none of the other sites have, randomised styles. Every time you visit the site you’ll be given a random aesthetic based on some memorable RT Comics moments. We’ll be adding more to the rotation soon, so feel free to let us know what styles you want to see.


    That concludes our brief tour on the new site design. Stay tuned, because we have even more cool stuff that has yet to be released. Catch you later!



  • AH: Marvel vs. Capcom 2: Five Achievements


    Got a fun guide for you today guys and girls. It’s from “Mr Achievement score” Brownman, and shows how to get five quick Achievements in the XBL version of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.

  • Who wants Grif jerky?

    Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 7 – Bon Voyage – is now online for sponsors, and will be up for everyone else in a couple of hours. Sarge, Grif, and Caboose head out together… while Simmons, Donut, and Lopez try not to get in too much trouble. I think it’s a wash. Of sorts. Go watch. Cause it’s funny. UnSilentSlayer started a thread in our forum.(Louis Wu 23:46:49 UTC)

  • Halopen Pencast 12

    Firestorm12 let us know that the 12th Halopen Pencast is now online, with discussion of machinimating (never heard that before!) from the point of view of the various roles in a production. About an hour and a half. Go listen!(Louis Wu 22:21:50 UTC)

  • ONI and NMPD Logos – writ large

    Stephen Loftus took a bit of time and cleaned up a couple of cool logos found in recent Bungie assets – swing by his forum post to view the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence logo, and the New Mombasa Police Department logo!(Louis Wu 19:27:30 UTC)

  • RT: 'Splode This

    The most impossible question to answer is “where do you get your ideas”, that being said, I think Gus and Burnie are on to something here.

  • AH: Mothership Zeta Today



    Hey Everyone,
    Just a reminder that you can go get abducted by some aliens today in Fallout 3. The new Mothership Zeta DLC is available, and comes with some sweet new weapons, armour, achievements and other cool things.

  • Halo Wars MEGA Blocks – now available

    Xorian pointed out that the Halo Wars MEGA Blocks toys are now actually available (we mentioned them a couple of times earlier this year, but they were still ‘coming soon’). (You can’t buy them directly from MEGA – they’re all listed as ‘out of stock’ – but the ‘Where to Buy’ link will show you some stores that carry the products, and some quick checks showed that both Target and ToysRUs have some of these products in stock. Target has the Scorpion, and TRU has both the Scorpion and ‘Aerial Ambush‘.)(Louis Wu 17:39:54 UTC)

  • Summer Mythic Recon Challenge VIII: Crow’s Nest

    Tyrant’s having a busy summer – but that doesn’t mean he’s taking away your chance to win Recon on schedule. While he hasn’t quite finished the last couple of levels for his Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough v2.0… he HAS completed the films showing how he does them, and you can use these, as well as the other resources mentioned in his Bungie.net news post, to complete the Crow’s Nest challenge this week, for your shot at Recon armor. It’s the 8th of 9 stages of the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge… get to work!(Louis Wu 16:56:00 UTC)

  • In Plain Sight – but not

    The latest Tag and Release feature on Bungie.net looks at Camouflage – or doesn’t. (Hidden Spartans are hidden.) Go look!(Louis Wu 16:48:48 UTC)
