COMMUNITY IS CREDIT TO TEAM! Remember a couple months ago when Valve opened its doors to the creative Team Fortress 2 community?  They created a website for anyone with 3D modeling skills to contribute their own hats and weapons. Well, just yesterday, a new patch went out and added some of those community made hats and weapons.

Here are some stats one these new weapons:

• The Homewrecker – 2x bonus against buildings, 75% power against people
• The Pain Train – 2x capture rate, 1.1x damage from bullets
• The Dalokohs Bar – Max health increase by 50 for 30 seconds – Heavy

Tonight, South Park started its’ newest season and as always, doesn’t disappoint.  South Park is one of the few shows that always stays relevant with pop culture.  In the video below, the people from South Park Studios show that they keep up with sports (Tiger Woods), entertainment (gossip) and gaming (EA) news all in one clip.

We are about 4 months away from the biggest comic and entertainment convention in the world and already it’s mostly sold out.  If you haven’t yet bought your 4day or even single day passes, consider yourself S.O.L. until next year.  That is unless you’re the type that just likes to walk around the exhibit hall and buy things that are still left on the tables. If so, then tickets for Sunday are still available.

If you’re not able to go because of tickets or not being able to fit it into your plans this year, no worries. We’ve got you and the convention covered. So stay tuned!

Two of my favorite things have just mashed up so nicely together.  Lady Gaga and Eric Cartman.  In the video below, you can see and hear what it’s like to play one of the new downloadable songs on Rock Band. I think this is one of the greatest mash-ups I’ve experienced since peanut butter and strawberry jelly Smuckers.

Btw, tonight is the start of a new South Park season. Watch it!

Mike Wilford is a wonderful guy.  After seeing the shaky cam vid of Twisted Pixel’s newest project, Comic Jumper, on Joystiq, I immediately asked him for a copy of the video.  The very next day, not only did we get a copy of the video, but we also got screenshots, concept art, and sound files!

Enjoy the 10 minute long video! It’s such a treat. For concept art and sound files, go past the break.

Any progress? yet?

I’m tired. I’m sore. But just like the headline says, “it hurts, but it feels so good.”

I’m six exercising days into the EA Active 30-day challenge. Yes, six.  No, I’m not slacking. See, during the challenge, you exercise for two days, then rest for one. For each exercise day, you are given different number of exercises.  This is really good because you never do the same thing twice in a row.  You’re always guessing what is next.  Also, each day’s exercises are always harder than the last and I’m simultaneously loving and hating it. Especially during the exercises that burn my thighs. ugh.

Doritos is the last company that would come to mind when making an iPad parody video.  But then again, we should have seen this coming since Doritos is known for their viral commercials.

Can’t blame Doritos for trying to be as technologically advanced as Apple by just creating a bigger version of their original product.

Film Director, Peter Cooper, hardly tweets on his upcoming fan film’s Twitter account, OpChastity. But today, has has tweeted (or twatted?) some great news about the progress of his upcoming Halo fan feature film.

There’s a buzz in the air. Talk of a teaser trailer. Exciting times.

Don’t know what all this Operation Chastity stuff is about? Here, let me school you.  A young chap, named Peter Cooper had the bright idea to create his own Halo fan feature film.  The word feature means a full length movie.  Meaning nothing shorter than an hour. All props, scripts and filming will be coming from him and his team. Not from any big budget movie types like Peter Jackson or Neill Blomkamp.

Yea. This film is going to be big. How big? Peter and his team have already created their own Halo Warthog and debuted it the 2009 London MCM Expo.  After their unveiling, I was able to catch up with Peter and do an exclusive interview with him via Skype. Interviewing people from San Diego, CA all the way to London. Ain’t technology great?

To see more about Operation Chastity and follow it’s progress, head over the official website.
