Hey guys, when you are done breaking our site and buying too many RTx tickets, why not check out the newest Fails of the Weak? Yeah?

Curious about the Rooster Teeth offices? Check out the Rooster Teeth Productions Office Tour Video. This week was busy for video releases. Yesterday, we released a commentary of the Angry Birds: The Movie Bloopers by the RT Bullpen and a Director’s Commentary for Immersion: Video Game Foods. On Thursday, we released sponsor only commentaries for Videogame Car, Side Scroller and Zombie Headshots. On Wednesday, the 2nd ever video Drunk Tank came out featuring Gus, Joel, Matt and Burnie. They rehashed the history of Rooster Teeth for the 8th anniversary week. And of course on Monday, the Red vs. Blue Season 9 Trailer was released. Don’t forget about AHWU, HORSE and Fails of the Week at Achievement Hunter. Happy Hunting.

Lance Rutledge sent along another batch of Halo sculpts – we’ve added them to his gallery page here. He let us know he’s got a Facebook page devoted to these little guys, as well – check it out! (Louis Wu 18:04:45 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Hitmonchan107 found a music video, created by spar7acvs, which does a pretty neat job of matching Halo Reach cutscene video to the lyrics in a song by White Lies. Give it a watch!(Louis Wu 16:36:04 UTC)

Heh – fun. Apparently, a Forza 4 internal video leaked yesterday (it’s in a lot of places – here’s one), and about 1:10 into the video, logos of car companies whose products are in the game are shown in rapid succession. Included in this series is Asklon – the company behind Halo’s Warthog. (They’ve made other vehicles, which is good – since the Warthog is not built for speed.) Thanks too Jayshum for pointing out the thread on a Forza forum.(Louis Wu 16:28:32 UTC)

kokobear (who used to upload here as Jamie98s) is back with ‘The Adventures of Koko Bear Chapter 1‘, a very different sort of Halo machinima. In fact, Halo doesn’t even make an appearance until three minutes into the video. (World of Warcraft’s model viewer helps out at the start.) I’m pretty sure hallucinogens were involved in the writing of this machinima – but the end result is oddly compelling. Will Koko survive his meeting with the Watermelon King? You’ll have to watch the next chapter to find out!(Louis Wu 16:01:26 UTC)

Mr.Sci-Fi pointed out that the Halo Faith team has confirmed (via Twitter) that they’re filming today. Looking forward to what comes out! (Louis Wu 16:00:40 UTC)

A few weeks ago, we pointed out an odd series of posts on our forum – an ARG, of sorts, had kicked off. When it got bigger than our main forum could handle, it moved over to args.bungie.org. Yesterday, Arithmomaniac came by to inform us, regretfully, that the game had wrapped up – sounds like participants really enjoyed themselves! (Yes, this was fan-driven and fan-created. So the folks who were only interested in participating if this were ‘official’, from 343 or a similar group, did the right thing by staying on the sidelines. Those who played, though, seemed to feel that the lack of ‘officialness’ did nothing to hurt the actual game.) Hopefully we’ll see a post-mortem down the line, but for now, all of the content is available in our ARG forum! (A sincere thank-you to Dagoonite for setting this puppy up in the first place, and pretty much forgoing sleep for the last month.) (Louis Wu 15:59:56 UTC)

itsmyyard stopped in with word of Spartan Warrior, his gameshow where contestants run an obstacle course and are ridiculed for mistakes, but winners have a shot at a Kinect. Highlights from Tournament 2 are live, and signups for Tournament 3 are available. (75 people ran the course in Tournament 2. Nobody won.) (Louis Wu 15:59:29 UTC)

AlphaGamma let us know that Chapter 3 of his Frostbite series is now live. Some neat cinematography, go and give it a look!(GrimBrother One 13:52:13 UTC)

If your desktop background has been feeling ignored lately, or maybe it’s simply gotten a little stale, the Bungie Weekly Update will have your problem solved for the immediate future. Some simply incredible pieces of art from the Halo community in there. Bookended by some Jeff Steitzer epicness and a funny Blame Stosh, this BWU is a fine entry in a grand tradition. (As always, you can also read it in our Weekly Update Archive.)(GrimBrother One 00:44:54 UTC)

So the Defiant Map pack has been out in the wild for about two weeks now and it’s time to reflect on what the community thinks of the first non-Bungie Map Pack for Reach and the beginning of 343 Industries’ take over of the Halo franchise. While the maps are amazing pieces of art, some of the Forge functionality is missing, which leads some people to question the ability of 343 Industries. They are still young in the Halo franchise and we are hopeful that they produce quality Halo content. Brent plays switch-er-roo with GLewis and we have Kete from The Running Riot and CMNeir, MidgetDance, and DoobsMcGee from Halo Reach Tricks and Social Stupidity. We may have been partially side-tracked from playing while recording… Enjoy

The discussion around the possibility of a remake is still very much alive where we still have no idea what to think about the whole situation. We hare hoping that this year’s E3 will shed some light on the situation. In the mean time, all we can do is speculate and talk about what changes we would like to see and not see. Greg and I are alone again this week, but we managed to crank a new one out within a week. Enjoy

So, today marks the eighth anniversary of the start of Rooster Teeth, but in a twist we have decided to put some birthday presents out there for you! First off, the long awaited Rooster Teeth Comics Year Four book is now available in the store! It features all the comics from year four of RT Comics as well as commentary for each of them. We also have a limited supply of signed Red vs Blue Recollection Box Sets available for purchase as well. They’re just like the regular Recollection Box Set, but…you know, signed.

Now for the super awesome part. If you enter the code rvb8iversary during check out in the store, you’ll get 10% off your entire order. Pretty sweet.

We are also going to put tickets for our RTX community event on sale at 2PM Central Time today. We will make a news post at 2PM when the tickets go live giving site sponsors first crack at the tickets. There are only 200 tickets available, and we are capping sales at a maximum of four tickets per purchase. RTX will be held May 27th through 29th and I posted some details about it in my news post here if you’re interested. Attendees need to be 18 and older or accompanied by a legal guardian.

Thanks for the comic idea, Burnie.

If you’re a sponsor you can now buy RTX tickets here. There is a limit of four tickets per purchase, if you order more than four your order will be cancelled. Also, you have to be 18 or older to attend or attend the event with your legal guardian. Tickets are now sold out. See you soon guys.
