In Case You Missed It

Last night, Halo Community Live streamed online as hundreds of viewers sat and watched differnet videos and interviews with various people and groups who are a big part of the Halo Community, Young Street included. If by chance you missed the interview MCQ22 did with me (it was near the beginning of the show), then click here or head on over to Halo Community Live's You Tube page. They have their interview with me as well as some others uploaded.

Halo Community Live

Tonight starting at 7:00pm EST, the guys over at Halo3Mythbusters.com are putting a little show called Halo Community Live. Think of SNL but made by the Halo Community. The show will consist of some machinima shorts, interviews with the big names in the community, and much more. The show is pre-recorded but will stream live on a website called Mogulus.com. Some of the names that should be making appearances on the show are Darkspire Films, Bryan Simon, Halo 3 Mythbusters, ForgeHub, The DuoGroup, and of course yours truly Young Street Productions (its an interview I had with them). The good thing about mogulus.com is that you don't have to register or anything like that, it's very easy to use. Plus, there is a chat room so you can see and talk with all who is watching the show. So, at 7:00pm EST (that's 4pm EST for those of you on the West Coast), the show will start. It'll be a good time, you'll definitely see me in the chat room.

By now you're probably trying to digest the epicness that is Episode 9. But here's another piece of tasty goodness you'll need to work on. Hawty McBloggy has posted the ballot for the 2008 Best of Halo Awards. The categories range from Best Map to Best Machinima Series. And guess who is on the ballot? None other than US! That's right, Forecast The Series has been nominated for Best Machinima Series! Jump on over to her page to vote for Forecast the Series, maybe even get your mom to vote for us too! The polls will be open until January 7, 2009 @ 11:59 PM PST. So what are you waiting for, go now!

Episode 9, The Season Finale

Episode 9, A Change of Plans, is now online. Click here to see the episode.

This is the Season Finale to Forecast, what a awesome journey it has been. I want to thank all of you for your continued support and interest in the series. Without it, this show would never of become what it is today. We'll see you all again after our short break. Keep those emails and messages to us coming. Just because we aren't making new episodes, doesn't mean we aren't around. Oh, and you'll probably see a few shorts between now and the new Season.

Enjoy the New Year!

Christmas Time!

Merry Christmas everyone! Well, I hope you all got everything you wanted this year. Anyone get an XBOX 360 and Halo 3 this year? Well if you did and also got Xbox Live, let me know, maybe we can get some big custom games going this weekend.

Well as you all know by now, Epsiode 8 is out. If you didn't know that, then you need to stop what you are doing right now and watch it. Now hopefully after watching the episode you all saw our announcement that Episode 9 is coming out next week and that it'll be our Forecast Season Finale. We will be taking a break for a little while, recovering from Season One, start the writing process for Season 2, relaxing and playing some Halo for fun not just for work.

I'm guessing that our vacation will be about 6 months, but we'll try to make a few shorts to hold you over until Season 2 premiers. Don't worry, we'll be working on Season 2 during our time off, episodes just won't be released for a while. I don't have an official date when the first Episode of Season 2 will be online, but we'll continue to give you updates here on what to expect.

The exciting conclusion to Season 1 of Forecast the Series will be released the morning of December 29, it'll be a great way to end 2008. Now, I'm going back to eating my body weight in dessert! Merry Christmas!

Mid Next Week

So the news you all have been wanting to hear...Episode 8 will be released sometime next week, before Christmas. Many of you have probably seen me online in custom games in Halo 3, which would mean I'm busy working on the episode. However, don't let that stop you from sending me invites to play with you. I'd love to play Halo online, whether it be custom or matchmaking, with any of our viewers. If I don't respond to your invite, don't let that get you down, it just means I'm working on the episode. With that said, I will be making some time this weekend, away from the episode, to play some Halo 3 online. So send me those invites!

Progress

Filming is continuing tonight on episode 8. Things are moving along quite well. Many of you have sent me messages wondering when the next episode is out, and all I can say is it'll be out when its done. We don't want to rush the production of the episode, especially since we are now getting extremely close to the season finale. But don't worry, we aren't going to take so long on the episode that it'll be the New Year before you see some more Forecast. I can guarantee that it'll be out in the next few weeks. And on a positive note, you'll see the season finale before we ring in the new year. December will be an exciting time for Forecast viewers. I'm hoping to be able to upload a few screen shots to hold your Forecast appetite for a bit.
