Lots of words and three sweet videos.  Check it out.

"Hey everyone! I bet you didn't think you'd be hearing from me so soon after my last Mandlbaum did you? Well, I have a special treat ready just in time for the Holidays! Way back in July 2008, before I even knew of submitting Machinimas into B.net, I released my very first (High Quality) Machinima : '403.'

Well, recently I fell into the opportunity to change the soundtrack to something more suitable and unique, and decided to go ahead and revamp the whole movie! All the audio and video has had it's quality raised considerably (No HD though, since it wasn't originally shot in HD). If I do say so myself, this movie feels and watches considerably better with these changes. In lieu of this occasion, I figured that I'd give this movie the big release it always deserved! You may even notice that it stars one of Halo 2's greatest Machinima actors: Frank Sixer from HollywoodHalo! (Ah, the memories.)

As for the plot, here it is: Three Friends enter a Big Team Battle game whilst in the middle of an interesting conversation regarding Recon Armor (back when it was rare). Along the way, they run into the many types of people you encounter on XBL: The N00b, the A-Hole, the Sniper, and more! I tried to make this movie as close to a real-life BTB game as possible, I think it worked really well. In fact, I think all Halo players have lived this game once or twice!

YouTube - Part 3 Remastered

Each video also has in-video (as well as in-description) links to the next and previous parts. With a total running time of around 16 minutes, this video is sure to put a smile on your face and have you ready to go kick ass in BTB with your buds! So sit back and enjoy this remastered TripleZeroFilms classic! (Overdone head bobbing and all!) And as always, Adult Language. Happy Holidays everyone! See you in 2009!"

Where's Mah Dooble EXP?! 

Posted by urk at 9/2/2010 5:52 PM PDT

Fix your -blam!-, Bungle!

So, yeah, This week's Double EXP Weekend is running a little behind. I blame Ninja 0n Fire. (He tells me that some fairly large updates are being deployed and as a result, we'll likely not see the Double EXP Weekend go live until tomorrow, or, *gulp* "later").

When it is ready to go, we'll let you know.

Feet first into awesome.

Looks like ubald unleashed another render over at HBO. This one's a WIP and part of a much larger collection that will ultimately serve as a webcomic. But you should check it out now.

Top 10 Halo 3 Kills on The Pit: Episode 59 

Posted by urk at 8/30/2010 9:00 AM PDT

You know the deal.

Anoj didn't submit his latest entry to Comm Chatter, but they gang at HBO picked up the slack. Besides, even without Anoj's familiar wordplay, we all know what this video's about anyway. There's like ten kills. You can submit your own for next week if you're astute enough to figure out how to make it happen.
