After the success of last week’s photo contest, we’re moving to video. To the winner goes the spoils. That’s going to be a DVD box set of RvB seasons 1-5 and the Reconstruction DVD.

The challenge is to record yourself doing a line from anywhere in RvB in the voice of that character. Easy enough right? Use a webcam or any other kind of video camera. You can present that in any way you want. Really don’t care. BUT, it must not be longer than 10 seconds.

Fine Print/Legal Mumbo Jumbo:
– You need to be a registered member of RT to participate. Sign up is quick and easy.
– Start the video by saying and showing a sheet of paper that has your member name on it and the episode you are quoting. This does not count in your 10 seconds.
– Name the file “MEMBERNAME_VideoContest”
– Quicktime files are preferred (.mov, mp4 etc) but avis are ok too.
– Upload it here http://upload.roosterteeth.com/upload.php
– Please try to record as big a video size as you can without going to HD
– Rooster Teeth has commercial reuse license to all videos submitted to the site.

I want to remind everyone that we stand committed to the judging criterion of what makes us say, “holy shit that’s awesome”. Entries are due Saturday night at midnight. Entries will be strung together in a video that will go up this weekend and the winner will be featured by his or her self next Tuesday.

What’s up folks? I told you I’d be coming back soon with more videos, and today brings forth another Shadow Complex tutorial. This one is a quick guide to helping you pick up the God-like “Walkin’ on Water” achievement. Easy as pie.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out the ultra-badass Shadow Complex Interactive Item Map we have up as well. It’ll help you on your way to 100% in no time.

Hey guys, long time no see, how ya been?

Really quick, I’m back, making videos and other fun things for you and the rest of Achievement Hunter. (Mainly just for you though…) I’m out in sunny California, living it up with moviestars and swimmin’ pools. Good times.

Now then, back to important stuff, over the past few days I’ve been working on a guide for Shadow Complex to help find every single item in the game. You can check it out right here. Special thanks goes out to Ray Brown from Bitmanic.com for helping me make the map look insanely cool.

Use the crap out of the map, and spread the word. I’ve got to get back to making some new vids for you folks. Until then.

The Ring of Life – part 5 of 6

As mentioned in this week’s podcast, today’s comic is loosely based on a true story.

Happy Friday gamers and gamettes,
Today’s video is brought to you by none other than Lopez_55, and is part three of his four part series on nabbing No Fear, and Feared in F.E.A.R. Check it.

Thanks to the cataclysmic announcements made at this year’s BlizzCon, Gus has essentially been rendered mute. I’m still on the fence about whether this is a good thing or not.

…ToeJam & Earl!

Remember the SEGA Genesis Poll I posted about last week? Well yesterday was the last day to vote, and it looks like the results are in. ToeJam & Earl will be the next game that SEGA brings over to XBLA.

“Whoa, but wait a minute! What happened to Earthworm Jim, I thought that was going to win for sure!” You are probably saying right now. Well it looks like from mass popularity, Gameloft will be picking it up.

So expect ToeJam & Earl AND Earthworm Jim to be appearing on the Marketplace sometime in the near future.

After a heated 4 hour debate among the RT staff and Caleb, Cuxim has come out on top in the Grifball photo contest. But wait! As a consolation, 5 members will compete in a poll to be crowned The People’s Champion. Look in the comments section of this post to vote for your favorite.

Voting ends on Tuesday and will coincide with the next content challenge! Who will win The People’s Vote?
Clever_Dave, Ithica, camopants13, EdoSens, or amedeus

So you may remember last week I told you all about the new Mass Effect DLC right?
No? Well, it’s a good job I’m telling you now then!

The new DLC pack titled “Pinnacle Station” will feature a top secret Alliance space station, bringing 3 new achievements in at 50G a piece. The pack costs a mere 400 points, and players will be trading storyline for pure action as you’ll be taking part in fight rounds.

And if that wasn’t enough, new Avatar items have come up on the Marketplace so now you can kit out your Avatar with Alliance armour, N7 shirts and Normandy crew shirts. There’s even Ashley’s white armour available for you gaming chicks out there.
So, for all the details check out the Marketplace page and download today!

NB – Your character must be a Spectre to enter Pinnacle Station.

When a mind is so totally blown, as was the case in the last comic, the effects can be life altering.

August 24th, 9:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time I leave my house. Covered in leaves. “It’s time.” I say to myself. An air of menace in my voice.

I arrive at my destination at approximately 9:27:32 EST to discover the predictable; I’m the first person there. Al, the resident manager of this particular establishment is inside somewhere. Doing… pushups or something, trying to kill time while I, simultaneously sit in my car reading World War Z until it’s time to make… well, a complete ass of myself, most likely.

Ten o’clock rolls around and my good buddy Al unlocks the doors. Shortly thereafter, Steve (another employee) arrives, admittedly still a bit drunk from his exploits in the hours before arriving to work for this night.

In no way am I ashamed to admit that I am the only person in this particular GameStop who is not an employee (however, by the end of the night, even my status of employ would change). I am most certainly the only girl… and the only one in a corset as far as my knowledge extends.

I stand before the boys in a denim skirt covered in actual leaves from the Cannas in my front yard stapled all around me, a green corset, some truly irresponsible heels and some tastefully green makeup. Needless to say I will be the only one in costume on this night. Which means it is also doubtless I will walk away not only with the first copy of Arkham in the store, but the gift card as well.

It’s at this moment that I will point out to the exceptionally slow that I am an unapologetic nerd with a huge soft spot for any and all things Batman. Had the game been released two months later, I would’ve been dressed to the nines in an exact replica Harley Quinn costume from the game.

Getting home with my copy of the game in hand, I immediately got to work. This video is a labor of very, very sleep-deprived love.

I hope you all enjoy it.
Fin.
