New Poll. Also, Pyroman sucks.

Big thanks to everyone who is still visiting and checking this site after our initial Season 5 announcement in May. Yes, we are still here. Yes, we are working on Season 5. We recorded all the audio for episode 1 over a month, and said audio has been sitting around on Pyroman’s hard drive since then. Why? Who knows. Perhaps he was too busy with his girlfriend. Perhaps he was busy playing Halo: Reach. Perhaps none of these are valid excuses and he’s just a big fat lazy bastard?

Yeah, I’ll take the latter option.

Anyways, we’ve been discussing if we really need to animate the character silhouettes (at the bottom right of each previous episode) anymore. Animating them didn’t really add a whole lot to the past episodes in our opinions, and required more work than we felt it was worth. That said, we want to know what you, the faithful few, think about the subject. Do you care if we stop animating the silhouettes with the purpose of getting out episodes faster/more consistently? Do you feel that doing so will cheapen the series, or take away from the “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ experience? Did you even notice that they were animated in the first place? Are we overthinking this waay too much? Probably.

Thanks for sticking with us! I’ll see about throwing up a preview on our YouTube page for all our subscribers when we get a couple more episodes pumped, hopefully in the very near future.

New Episode + Cutoffs Coming Monday

mrsmiley — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:10:11 +0000

Hey folks. Not that a ton of people come to this site (at least, people don’t leave comments), but I wanted to let anyone who interested know that we just finished episode 407 of MCT3K. Pyro had to take a break for finals, and to vacation in Florida. I’m sure he hated every minute of it.

I will also FINALLY start on making some new cutoffs for you guys. We will be posting these on our own YouTube account, so after you watch the episode on Monday, check it out for the extras! Also, be sure to watch episode 407 until after the credits. You will feel awkward and touched inappropriately.

MCT3K Season 4 Coming Jan 18!

mrsmiley — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:19:02 +0000

That’s right ladies and gentlemen, after a much needed break from doing nothing, Master Chief Theater 3000 will resume it’s epic riffing in the next season, launching this Monday! We will be making an oh-so-easy target out of Halo: ODST this time around. We have plans for the next season as well, and yes, we’re still working on a new series. Stay tuned for new MCT3K, new videos, an new newness!

Coming Soon: Something Completely Different

mrsmiley — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:09:13 +0000

I recently stumbled across an incredible gem of a video. It’s so awesome, that it practically riffs itself. This has absolutely nothing to do with Halo, or even video games for that matter.

But it is, in fact, hilarious.

Pyro and I will be riffing said video in multiple parts. Prepare for a very special, and very vintage episode of Master Chief Theater. If you’re a fan of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 PSA episodes, you will absolutely love this.

Coming Soon.

Quick Update

mrsmiley — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:13:42 +0000

Hey all, just wanted to leave a quick note to let you guys know that we’re still alive! We’ve started work on MCT3K episode 303 this week, so that should be out this weekend… ish. I’ve been quite busy with work and some other side projects, so I have excuses.

Also, my wife Delaney had episode 3 of her Dinnylan series, but like a noob, forgot to save it and lost everything. Noob. I’ll bug her to get it finished again.

Also, I was in San Francisco for GDC (Game Developers Conference) most of last week, and wrote up a ton of stuff for an iPhone gaming site I write for: www.iPhoneGamesNetwork.com. So if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch and wanna see what’s going on, check it out.

Also, I like cheese.

Anytime now….

Pyroman — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 05:21:53 +0000

The newest episode should be up very soon. It’s already been given to Machinima, so it’s up to them when they will upload it. Sorry for the delays and what-not….Next week is the Season Finale! Yayayay.

Holiday Hours

mrsmiley — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 15:10:36 +0000

Hey guys, just thought I should make a quick post explaining our lack of regular vids. Explanation: it’s holiday season. We’re busy. As much as we would love to keep with the weekly MCT3K release, it’s getting tough as school, work, and family events are getting more frequent. We’re still here though! We should have the next MCT3K, and next PAX out soon. Thanks for your patience!

No MCT3K this week… sorry!

mrsmiley — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 04:04:20 +0000

Due to the fact that in the course of 3 days, I will be both arriving from a business trip, moving to a new apartment (with my wife), and then leaving on another business trip, I’m simply not gonna have enough time to get the recording done for episode 207. Also, Pyro has some midterms coming up, and plenty of slacking to do. This won’t happen often, but we’ll be taking a break for (hopefully) just this week’s episode.

HOWEVER, Pyro has put together a very special treat for you guys that will be released this weekend (?), so stay tuned!!! It will change the internetz FOREVER.

MCT3K Season 1 Bungie Intro Video

mrsmiley — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:33:53 +0000

When I was at PAX, I delivered the first MCT3K Season 1 DVDs to Bungie. Pyro and I made a fun little intro to the DVD, which I just posted on our brand new YouTube channel. Check it out, and be sure to rate/comment/subscribe!

Master Chief Theater 3000 – Episode 11

mrsmiley — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:08:40 +0000

The Season 1 finale is finally out! Machinima.com was gracious to release it a bit earlier than usual. I know a lot of people have been waiting for this. Check out the rest of the episodes on our MCT3k page.

On a personal note, I’m not gonna say this is the funniest episode, but I think it has it’s moments. It was really difficult to riff this one due to lack of dialogue, heh. Be sure to rate/comment on YouTube, and stay tuned for Halo 2 in Season 2, starting September 5th!

UPDATE: We had about 10,000 views and 300 comments, and then Machinima.com pulled the video off! I’m not sure why, cuz I can’t get a hold of Pyro. They resubmitted it, but now we’re starting completely over again! Shafted!

UPDATE 2: I chatted with our man over at Machinima.com, and apparently the original video had their logo added to it, even though we already added it to the original video. So yeah… it was pulled. Oh well, go ever there and watch/rate today and tomorrow to make up for it!
