It’s awesome enough that Rooster Teeth would rig up a Ford with a third-person camera, to attempt to drive like one does in a video game. What really makes this video shine are the Yakuza extras karate-kicking the test subjects.
Paragon Studios takes its City of Heroes Mission Architect to the next level, inviting comic book author Bill Willingham, Rooster Teeth Productions and cartoonist Scott Kurtz to author special missions for the game.

Rooster Teeth achievement-centric site Achievement Hunters managed to land their hands on an early copy of Dead Space from Electronic Arts.
Starting on Monday the hunters will be releasing video walkthroughs of how to grab the achievements in Dead Space. “Dead Week” will also include contests, live broadcasts and other Dead Space material posted on the site.

Just because you don’t live in Sydney doesn’t mean you have to miss out on meeting some of machinima’s biggest names.

Burnie Burns, one of the lead people behind the Halo machinima Red vs Blue, and co-founder of Rooster Teeth Productions, will be coming out next month for this year’s Sydney Film Festival.
If you’d like to talk to Burns about his work, or machinima in general, he’s scheduled to host a Q&A session on June 18 at 7:30PM at the Telstra Experience Lab. The lab can be found at Level 2, 400 George St, Sydney.
The SFF 2008 is host to two other machinima-related talks – one on June 18 at 5:30PM with Frank Dellario (Electric Sheep) and another on June 19 at 5:30PM with Chris Burke (This Spartan Life). These sessions will also take place at the Telstra Experience Lab, and all three are free of charge.
Be sure to hit up the SFF website for more info.

Now, clearly, these are production values in the upper 1 percentile, and we’d expect no less of Rooster Teeth, and I’m not gonna hate on it. But can I ask a question? How come any elected-office character in a military-genre movie has to have a condescending Southern accent?
It’s like a British friend of mine once said about the stereotype of his accent: “If I am in a Star Wars movie, then I command the Death Star.”
That said, I can’t wait to see (and hear) where this is headed.
