Hawaiian Pig brought to everyone’s attention a special feature going on at G4tv.com called Videogame Deathmatch. The particular battle he let us know about is Halo: Reach vs Starcraft 2, and it’s a tight one! (That’s what she- never mind) Go and cast your vote!(GrimBrother One 14:28:42 UTC)

Hello Citizens,
We’re rolling out a new short today, Unusual Suspects, which features cameos from some of our favorite supporting RT players, and an awesome new track, “Talking That Shit,” from Lamar Hall and Jeff Williams.
We’re also doubling up on content today for sponsors, with a new alternate ending version of the DMV short. And If you’re feeling inspired after seeing all the extra material, you might try creating your own hilarious message with our new custom license plate t-shirt. Remember, people will see you wearing it in public, so the more embarrassing the better.

Geoff and I are beautiful snowflakes. Enjoy!

The song featured in last weeks’s short, “Talking That S**t” is live on iTunes and Amazon MP3 for all those who requested it! It’s also up for anyone looking to download it on their iPhone as a ring tone. Our pal Jeff Williams composed the song along with Lamar Hall who you might have heard in the “I am the Best” track on the Revelation Soundtrack. Guy has talent.

You’ve heard whispers about it. Some people said it was just a myth. But now, I’m very proud to reveal it’s finally really real, and really downloadable from the App Store.

How much does this amazing app cost then? Well, since it’s the only app you’ll ever need (who makes calls these days?) we decided to price the app very aggressively at FREE. So you’ve got no excuse, go download it right now to your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Alternatively, just search “Rooster Teeth” in the App Store. You will not regret it.

And to top it off, we’ve got a brand new app-related comic for you today. Check it out below!



Peace.

Whoa. FyreWulff pointed out that starting tomorrow, and running through November 29, Halo: Combat Evolved will cost 400MSP (a 67% price reduction) – if you don’t have a copy, $5 is a hard price to pass up! (There are a bunch of other games with vastly reduced prices – check his post for full details.) Update: KP clarified that the list from Kotaku (which is where FyreWulff found this info) was incomplete; Halo will ONLY be on sale on Friday, November 26. Keep that in mind when you’re gearing up to purchase…(Louis Wu 22:56:16 UTC)

Frank O’Connor talked to Kotaku recently about the idea of a Halo movie – he really sounds pretty positive about the whole idea. Thanks, CaptainTony! Update: looks like Kotaku might have… um, gotten some of the details wrong. Thanks, Frankie.(Louis Wu 20:37:42 UTC)

Goosechecka sent along another piece of Grifball news – Signups for the European Grifball Winter League opened today, and will run through November 27th. Play starts on November 29. Full info can be found at GrifballHub.(Louis Wu 19:45:44 UTC)

Grim already mentioned the Waypoint Noble Map Pack gameplay – while you’re over there, they’ve got a couple of other videos you might enjoy watching. There’s an OutREACH feature with the 405th’s Adam Grumbo, and a trailer for ‘Franchise Player’, a new Grifball miniseries coming soon to the channel. Go watch!(Louis Wu 18:35:17 UTC)

ElzarTheBam noticed a review of the Noble Map Pack on GamesRadar – videos of all three maps (look at the maps, not the gameplay) and some written impressions. There’s also a sentence which might raise a few eyebrows:

In fact, they’re giving us 30% more Halo: Reach next week for absolutely free.

We haven’t goten confirmation from Bungie or Microsoft yet, but I’d assume that’s a mistake; Gamestop, for example, expects to sell this product for $10. Right or wrong, though, the review is a decent look at the upcoming maps. Update: looks like GR corrected the post (thanks, Decommissioner) – the maps are not free. (This should come as a surprise to NOBODY.)(Louis Wu 17:24:20 UTC)

BierWiser found a pretty cool video clip from a game on Spire – and filmed it from a number of angles, so you could see what was going on. Luckiest player EVAR!(Louis Wu 17:23:39 UTC)
