My YouTube channel has reached a milestone I’m quite proud of.
1,000 Subscribers, baby! BOOYAH!
Party at my place.
Feel free to bring your own refreshments.
I have uploaded my video guide to machinima, entitled “Machinima, Explained.” This video is for those of you with friends who don’t really know what ‘machinima’ is. This video defines the term ‘machinima’ and provides several tips on making your machinima successful.
“Machinima, Explained.” has been featured at our affiliate site TheRunningRiot.com as well as being named “Machinima of the Week” and featured at Hawty McBloggy’s gaming blog. Awesome! Please be sure to check these websites out.
EDIT: “Machinima, Explained.” is also featured on the Bungie.net Blog,
the “Tuesday Afternoon at the Movies” news post on Halo.Bungie.Org,
and the “Featured Videos” list at Machinima.com.
Woohoo!
In other news, I’m working on scripts for future Mad Thought of The Day episodes.
College Semester, Spring: Completed.
Summer: In Progress.
Obviously, I have more time for machinima now that I don’t have school to worry about for awhile. Expect to see Mad Thought of The Day: Episode 5 out soon. I’m also writing a dramatic machinima simply titled: Inquisitor.
In other news, I picked up Sims 3 yesterday and I’m quite tempted to make a machinima or two using the Sims engine. Who knows, maybe it’ll be a series one day!

The new Mad Map Tour is online. Like all of my Mad Map Tours, I take players on a comprehensive tour of the map. I cover everything from Weapon Spawns, Basic Strategy, Objective Spawns, and how players are able to grab Sandbox’s skull.
Mind you, if you don’t want to know the skull location in the video, and you would rather find it on your own, you can stop watching after the credits roll =D

Mad Map Tour: Sandbox Questions
Q: Why didn’t you tell players about the Sky Bubble and the Crypt?
A: My Mad Map Tours cover the default layouts of the Multiplayer maps as found in Matchmaking. I make these tours so players can learn a map easier, find out where everything is, so that when they jump into a Matchmaking game with the map, they aren’t lost and they’ll actually have fun. I will not be covering Forge-only aspects in the Mad Map Tours.
Q: I found the skull another way! Why did you show it the hard way?
A: To be honest, I was just messing around in Forge with a friend to test the “Guardian” lasers. We built a tunnel out randomly, trying to get as far as we could. By coincidence, we found the Skull =P
“Dude, add me on Facebook.”
So through Machinima.com, I have been able to get myself a Director Page on Machinima.com’s Facebook. You should definitely head on over if you have a Facebook of your own.
