Well, hello there, Gentle Reader.

Do you enjoy film? Do you enjoy prizes? Do you think Dom is the nicest person ever and someone you’d love to spend an evening with?
If so, read on!
Tomorrow night, Dom, Knuckles and I are gonna be doing an Oscar broadcast AHTV. We’ll start with the red carpet because fuck you guys, I wanna see the pretty dresses. Broadcast will begin at 4 p.m. Pacific/7 p.m East not sure how that’ll work for our UK viewers…. do they still show it live somewhere for you guys in the middle of the night? Let me know in comments. I’m mad curious.

Anyway, the contest. Here’s how it’s going to work:
-I’ve linked to Dom’s profile in the beginning of this post. Step one is go there.
-Step two is to private message Dom with your pics for the Oscars. (You can find a full list of the categories and nominees here)
-Dom has assigned a scoring system to the proceedings that I’m unaware of. Perhaps we’ll run through it during the broadcast, or maybe it’s math-heavy. Then we’ll skip it.

The top three with their Oscar predictions will receive select Rooster Teeth merch. If you want to know what the prizes are, I suggest you join us for the broadcast.

As ever, the stream is located at the AHTV page embedded in our site, or conversely, check out the Ustream page. If you want to view the video or accompanying chatroom in their own individual pop up windows, those links are for that.

I’ll see you there, movie fans! I look forward to getting my ass handed to me in the head-to-head predictions against Dom.

Be sure to check Achievement Hunter for information and videos about Bulletstorm!

I just read that (and yes, I’m still on vacation, posting from my hotel room) copies of the cancelled NBA Elite 11 are now appearing on Ebay for big bucks. That got me thinking… if AH got a copy of that game, we could make the rarest Achievement Guides ever! So far I haven’t seen any copies of an Xbox 360 version, but if any of you know where we could buy one of these pieces of rare and wonderful history, let me know in the comments!

Alright dick tits, for those that didn’t get Bulletstorm this week, the community’s coming through with some gaming sessions you can get in on:

First up, yours truly is hosting a multiplayer gaming session in Blur. No specific achievements, though I expect there will be some earned naturally. Alcohol is optional, but highly recommended.

It’s Fails time! Who wants a slice of cake!?

The Bungie Weekly Update is online at Bungie.net (and in our Weekly Update Archive) – full of bizarre speculation, GDC info, and more than a few awesome screenshots. Definitely worth a visit – but if you’re on a slow connection, you’re gonna be waiting a while.(Louis Wu 00:48:30 UTC)

Flying too close to the sun on wings slathered in hot sauce.

AchievementHunter has posted Fails of the Weak Volume 23 – and once again, lots and lots of people die in embarrassing ways. Great fun! Thanks, munky-058.(Louis Wu 20:35:18 UTC)

According to NowGamer, Frank O’Connor talked about the potential interactions between the Halo universe and Kinect – don’t worry, he’s not looking to make you play full-contact Halo. They’ve been looking at ways to make it work with Halo: Waypoint, for example. Sounds like appropriate use of technology! Thanks, xmoosev3.(Louis Wu 19:53:15 UTC)

Back up your braggadocio with empirical evidence.

This level has it all!

Now it’s time for some international love.

Take a look in the mirror.

You may have your hands full with a LASO run through ONI Sword Base – but Tyrant has his sights set on bigger things. This week, his guide for The Pillar of Autumn will help you defeat what is definitely one of the most convoluted Reach level out there. Sixteen movies make his words clearer, while the text itself is chock-full of tips and tricks and caveats to watch for. Check it out – then go beat this massive level on the hardest difficulty of all! (Louis Wu 17:08:36 UTC)
