To make sure things are completely fair, I used an extremely proficient random number generator. The number it gave me corresponds to the number of the comment under the contest news post. Here is the proof:

So that would be commenter #339… which is LegacyXI! He put things so eloquently and simply in his post:

“Hey you should choose me.”

Choose you we did. The Mythic Map Pack code is in the mail. Enjoy.

But wait, there’s more!

I mentioned a second giveaway in case you didn’t win this one. I also mentioned that it would be “in the mail…” Most of you didn’t figure it out, but I was speaking of our Pyrosmile Mailing List. I sent out an email to the mailing list earlier today giving everyone on that list 8 hours to send me an email to enter the second drawing.

Only 5 people emailed me.

So out of those 5, I did another random number pick, and BOOM, second winner! That winner is Kevin Weibe (didn’t get an online handle for him). Ironically he was actually the first person to respond, and the only person to actually reply to original email (which was the proper instructions for entering).  Congratulations! Code is also in the mail for you as well.

For the 99.9% that didn’t win…

Don’t worry! There will be more contests in the near future. We tend to reward people who participate in things like the forum, mailing list, and YouTube subscriptions first before the general public. If you stick around, I think you’ll find we’ve got a nice little community going here.

Cheers!

That’s it! I will randomly choose one of the lucky members to win. The contest will end 24 hours from when Machinima.com decides to release the Season 3 premier.

Good luck!

I hope you all are having a fine holiday time, celebrating whatever it is that you celebrate. To help spread holiday cheer, HaloBabies.net recently finished round 3 of it’s Happy Halodays screenshot contest. Above is the winning entry. Check out the full post for all the Xmas Halo goodness! Don’t forget that there is still one round remaining, so get going on your New Years screenshot to win some free MS points!

Pyroman and I got interviewd by Matt Mogle of Machinima.com a short while ago. It’s a nice little audio gem containing the following:

1. Pyroman sucking at being interviewed
2. Me talking WAY too much
3. Both of us making asses of ourselves
4. A bit of insight into how the whole production process works
5. More of us making asses of ourselves

Sounds entertaining! Check out the actual post here, or go straight the audio interview here.

Before your panties end up in a massive bunch, let me explain. First thing, this is only a temporary thing at the moment. Personally, I hate ads, which is why HaloBabies.net has been ad-free every since it was first launched years ago. Second, the ad really isn’t that bad. No animations, no sounds, no accidental mouse overs. It’s just that pic and that’s it.

Finally, the ONLY reason Pyro and I even considered this, is the fact that, well… it’s MST3K!!! RiffTrax and MST3K are the sole inspiration of Master Chief Theater 3000, and that’s a fact. If there is one site who should get our support, it’s them.

So all you have to do is click on the ad, buy a movie or two (they are like $.99-$4 each), and we get a small percentage of that. Hopefully that works out for us, cuz it costs money for equipment, hosting, etc. That and we spend a lot of time on these!

I just saw one that rivals even DigitalPh33r’s work! The cinematography is breathtaking, the writing is good, and dare I say it… it has GOOD VOICE ACTING. I was especially impressed with the Elite voice filter, which sounds almost better than the actual game! Check it out here (I would recommend watching the high quality version), or watch it below. Was I right?
