Well, if you haven't already seen it, go look up bungie's newest Vidoc. They released footage for the new forge mode in Halo: Reach. After seeing it we are all very optimistic about the future of Halo: Reach Forges.
Currently (in my opinion) the best map creator out there belongs to Farcry 2, but once Reach is released, that title may given to Halo's newest installment. The only thing that Farcry still has that it doesn't look like Reach will have is a terrain editor, but we'll see.
In other news, Richard and Mackenzie have returned home after quite an awesome week. Several of our videos are still in line to be released on Youtube, so we took a few days off of filming to enjoy the trip. But don't worry, there will be no delays in episode releases. I am currently in the process of editing episode 76, so the stuff we've done recently wont be released for a few weeks.

Fun, but not in the Sun
Richard (Dragon munday) and Mackenzie (Mackynz) arrived on Saturday to hang out for the week.
So far we've gone to the flea market several times to buy swords and knives, gone to one of my swordsmanship classes, made midnight runs with Caleb (TNS Tasadarr) to walmart to buy Magic: the gathering cards, played lots of video games, and lots of Magic: The Gathering.
We don't have anything currently "planned" for today, but I'm sure we'll figure somethin' out. On Wednesday we'll be going to a wolf howling, and on Thursday they'll be heading back home.
The rest of the week should be pretty fun.

Left 4 Dead anyone?
The guys and I have been kicking around the idea of bringing Greetings From Riverside back. Again, this is only an idea, I'm not confirming anything. There were a lot of problems we had back then with making the series though. For one, it took up A LOT of time to film, record lines, and edit. About a month of production for each video.
So, if this is to happen we need to fix a lot of things. One of the main complaints was the acting. Back in the day I don't know what it was but our acting really sucked. Mainly because of the whisper screaming and crap, but also the general "read from this page" tone that everyone carried. We have some ideas on fixing that though.
Secondly, time management would have to be dealt with. I'm heading off to college this fall, and with classes, and another job, I will have a pretty full schedule.
There are other problems we'd need to iron out, but a lot of people seem to want the series back, so we'll consider it. If anything though, it will probably turn out to be next summer's project.
Onto other news, a new episode of Halo 3 Forges was released. Unfortunately the video was titled wrong, I'm trying to get that fixed asap, but for now, here's the link.

I'M ON FIRE!!!
Hope everyone had fun with their flaming helmets yesterday, I know we did. You'll see us with ours on Episode 73.
Yesterday's events couldn't have been timed better, the release of episode 70, the RvB Deja View, filming an awesome map, and flaming helmets. A very good bungie day.
Today I'll be editing and submitting episode 73, it'll probably come out in about 1.5 - 2 weeks. On youtube at least, all of our videos go up on Machinima.com very fast.

From GOS, With love
Thought you all might enjoy this. It was the last rocket we shot off on the 4th. Ironically it exploded just over my neighbors backyard.

Filming, Fireworks, and Forgers
Last night I had some of my old friends come over, relatives to TNS Tasadarr. We did some sword fighting and shot of a good amount of fireworks. Lots of fun.
Tonight we're filming another episode, a little late due to the holiday, but the videos shouldn't see much of the delay. We found a new talented forger, so we will probably be using one of his maps tonight. Some of our viewers may notice that we've been using a lot of maps from specific people such as DIEabolical D. The reason for this is because these guys are excellent forgers, and we can rely on them. If we have a slow week, we look to one of these guys for a map.
I believe that since Reach is coming out this fall, a lot of the forgers out there have given up on Halo 3. We're gonna keep "Halo 3 Forges" going until Reach comes out, and then we'll move on to "Halo Reach Forges." But we need you guys to keep forging if we're gonna be able to do it!
Some tips for sending in maps, I know a lot of our viewers want their map featured on the show.
1. Send us the map via Halo 3 Recommendation (put it on you file share, and recommend it to Wwolf655 or Kenburn)
MAKE SURE TO LEAVE IT ON YOUR FILE SHARE!!! Too many times people have recommended me a map, only to find that they had taken it off their file share.
Please do not ask us to come to your party to look at your map. It's not that we don't want to talk to our fans or anything, we just need to look at a map from a distant perspective.
2. Try to be neat on your map. It's hard for us these days to take maps that are not geo- or ghost-merged anywhere. Show us that you really put your heart into making this map, make it look nice.
3. DO NOT NAME YOUR MAP "RECON"
If the map name is "Recon" I will NOT look at it, for the simple sake that it's usually one of those scam maps just to get your map popular. Bungie has never and will never give out Recon just because you recommended a map to 10 friends. Go get it from ODST.
And just as a side note:
We do not send maps to people, you have to download them from our file share.
You do not have to be our friend to view our fileshare.
We do not have to send you a message for you to view our file share.
Send us a chat invite, then view our profile, then view our Halo 3 File Share.

Halo 3 Forges Episodes
Halo 3 Forges Ep. 71 has now been edited and sent to Machinima.com.
A lot of people seem to think that uploading our videos is just as simple as it was before we got sponsored. The truth is that it is actually quite complicated now. There's paperwork to fill out, files to send, and then the wait for Machinima.com to upload it to youtube. Remember I just upload it to their website, they're the ones that put it on youtube. They try to put our videos up on our desired dates, but with the higher up directors videos going out, sometimes we have to be set back a little for the big guys.
Strange thing has been catching on in the Studio. Everybody now seems to like Magic: The Gathering (The card game). And yet none of us have the real cards. We've been playing on the Xbox-live arcade game for the past several days, having become quite addicted.
Last night Richard (Dragon munday) declared "We are getting some of these cards when we're down there Cameron." So yeah, I think we're hooked.
Oh yes! And our machinima payment finally arrived, a day late, but better now that they've got their whole payment program complete. Our check this time dropped a considerable amount because we didn't make a specific quota due to several delays earlier this year, but it was still a good amount. I think that gives Mackynz enough money to buy his plane ticket. Richard is driving down so that's not gonna be a problem. I've gotta find out if my financial aid for this fall will be able to cover my textbooks, if not then I have to save a very large portion of my cut. With traveling costs (it does cost quite a bit of money to drive from Raleigh to Ely) plus the cost of textbooks, I'd be looking at a pretty large bill.
By the way, new episode of Halo 3 Forges was uploaded to youtube today. Check it out!

Welcome
Hey guys, this is Kenburn from Game Over Studios,
With the recently passed E3, our view count diminished quite a bit, so we decided to hold off on filming till the end of the event. Now that it has gone and passed, we've started filming again.
So far 3 episodes of H3F have been filmed, 2 of them already edited and submitted to Machinima to be released onto youtube.
Another thing I should mention is that episodes should be coming out more often in the future. We are now bumping up our filming schedule to two episodes of H3F a week. How quickly these videos will be published to youtube is still up to Machinima.com, but we're hoping they bump up our rate of releases with all the episodes we will be posting.
If you want to get a heads up on what's coming, just search for our videos on machinima.com, you won't be able to download the map direct from us until the video is up on youtube though.
In some non-professional news, Dragon munday and Mackynz will be visiting my house later this month. I'm hoping to get some footage of us and our antics throughout the week they are here, and probably post it for fun on our channel.
Just as a heads up, this blog will be posted by me (Kenburn) at all times in the future. So it doesn't necessarily represent the views and opinions of my staff.
-Kenburn
