The saga continues on Halo Waypoint for The Mona Lisa motion comic. Still building, but getting better and better. Go check it out! Thanks to General Vagueness who also mentioned it on our forums.(GrimBrother One 15:40:31 UTC)

Hitmonchan107, just before heading out for a weekend of debauchery and pantsless reveling, stopped into our forum with word of an interesting aside in an interview with Epic’s Cliffy B. Apparently, the Master Chief COULD have been in Gears 3, but the idea was nixed by Microsoft because Gears is a bit too… bloody. Go read Cliffy’s description of what might have been!(Louis Wu 13:23:43 UTC)

Bones153 wanted to give folks some serious incentive to complete this week’s Weekly Challenge – four copies of the Defiant Map Pack (or the equivalent in MSP, if you have it already) for the 4-player team that could score the highest and have the most fun. Read his (well-documented) post for full rationale, and rules – but be aware that it was supposed to happen last night at 10pm, so you’re just reading to see what fan love can lead to. (Sorry I didn’t get this posted yesterday!) Update: I’m wrong – you’ve got a week and a half! (Thanks to munky-058 for pointing out the rules addition I missed.) Get your team together, and win a ton of points!(Louis Wu 13:23:10 UTC)

DeviantART’s Mesmeretics released the first official poster for Halo: Faith (the fan movie we’ve been seeing lots of recently). Suitably grandiose! Thanks again, munky-058. Update: Looks like Grim noticed this yesterday (and I didn’t). Oops!(Louis Wu 13:18:50 UTC)

If you’re playing Stockpile, and you have an epic encounter, what better outcome could there be than to turn that into a machinima of sorts? Thanks to GAF’s Account Attempt #4 for pointing this out. Made me laugh.(Louis Wu 13:13:08 UTC)

SonGoharotto stopped by yesterday with another rewrite of his version of Pillar of Autumn, a rewrite of his version of Halo, and a brand-new release – Truth and Reconciliation. The overhaul of the original Halo script (to bring it more inline with newer canon material) continues!(Louis Wu 13:10:50 UTC)

Fails of the Weak Volume 32 is now online – this shows that there are still plenty of silly happenings in Halo games, and lots of them result in funny death. Go watch! Thanks, munky-058.(Louis Wu 13:08:09 UTC)

Alright folks, this does it. We’re wrapping up the last of the fatalities in Mortal Kombat today. We’ll end it all with the Stage Fatalities for every character spread across three videos. Enjoy!

These next two Portal videos put us very close to wrapping up the single player campaign. I think there’s probably one more for us to film after these (until more awesome easter eggs are found). First up is our guide to finding the “Singing Turrets” easter egg.

Next up we have a guide to getting the “No Hard Feelings” Achievement, as well as a pretty spoilerish easter egg. Watcher beware!

Continuing our awesome guide in Lego Star Wars 3’s Minikits I recruit Brownman to join in and help us stop those Separatists!

Tally ho chums of the internet! Amidst the celebration of the Royal Wedding, I do my duty to Queen and Community by bringing you this week’s Weekend Hunts:

I know you are all watching your TiVo recordings of the Royal Wedding. Why don’t you stop for a few minutes and watch this?

It’s an absolute onslaught of community videos today, if you’re allergic to links, you might wanna look away now

• Our first video is from Shovelmage, as he gets Going for Gold in Portal: Still Alive.
• Soothersayer57 and BioHRay flawlessly pick up Tin Boy and Iron Boy in the arcade classic Super Meat Boy.
• MrCheevo hits a dead end getting the Fatal and Tragic achievement in Homefront.
• CreepyDoll picks up a plethora of Portal 2 achievements off the beaten track of the main story.
• NightHawk673 hits fast and deadly, getting the Speedy Warrior achievement in Dynasty Warriors 7.
• Xngine has a delicious frosty treat (I assume) getting Pistol Whipped achievement in Homefront.
• Nand dives deep to become the Pit Master in Mortal Kombat, picking up an achievement in the process.
• Finally DexterGrif19 loses the family pet, in the What Cat? achievement guide for Half-Life 2.

Neeew Video! Earlier this week we had the pleasure of working with Jon Graham. Jon as many of you know is the creator of Arby ‘n’ the Chief. This mashup didn’t really start off all that great. We had never seen Jon before and we weren’t expecting him for a few days so there was… some confusion. We got it all sorted out later. Luckily, Sal Black, a documentary filmmaker from Austin, was at the office with his crew shooting a little featurette on Rooster Teeth life for a local film fest. He let us borrow the footage so we could share our embarrassment with you.

Arby ‘n the Chief creator Jon Graham popped in to the RvB offices. Hilarity ensued. Check it out! (note that the video will be completely live to the public at 9pm EST, but is up for sponsors now).(GrimBrother One 23:30:48 UTC)

The team from the Halo: Faith fan film have a new teaser poster, and what a beauty it is. Go and check it out! Thanks to Munky-058 for catching it.(GrimBrother One 23:26:47 UTC)

Today’s Weekly Update doesn’t disappoint in the awesome factor, especially when it comes to the All-Stars collection. Some amazing stuff in there. Add to that some very interesting matchmaking data, a funny Blame Stosh, and Neo from The Matrix (kinda). Go and give it a look!
