Starting on Monday the hunters will be releasing video walkthroughs of how to grab the achievements in Dead Space. "Dead Week" will also include contests, live broadcasts and other Dead Space material posted on the site.

If you want to catch a glimpse of what an achievement walkthrough video looks like, check out the Achievement Hunters take on finding the Holocrons in The Force Unleashed over on their site.

Now, clearly, these are production values in the upper 1 percentile, and we'd expect no less of Rooster Teeth, and I'm not gonna hate on it. But can I ask a question? How come any elected-office character in a military-genre movie has to have a condescending Southern accent?

It's like a British friend of mine once said about the stereotype of his accent: "If I am in a Star Wars movie, then I command the Death Star."

That said, I can't wait to see (and hear) where this is headed.

The only thing worse than tech support is Shadowrun tech support. I hope Rooster Teeth pump out as many vids for 1800-MAGIC as they have for Red V. Blue. Brian Crecente

Before everone gets their panties in a bunch - THE VIDEO ABOVE IS NOT THE PSA THAT IS AVAILABLE ON XBOX LIVE. Instead, it's an example another video Rooster Teeth have done before with their Red Vs. Blue series for the New York Video Festival's Wild Wild Web Program. Equally as funny, but the walkthrough available on XBL is way funnier.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Kim Phu

You know, P.A.N.I.C.S. — the parodic F.E.A.R. machinima by the Rooster Teeth boys — is about a year old at this point. Heck, Brian even wrote about the first couple of episodes a year back or so. But I'm replaying F.E.A.R. now — still jumping at every site of Alma, the spider-crawling ghost girl — and it tickles me more than ever. So I've congregated all five parts of the P.A.N.I.C.S. series into one post. Hit the jump for the next four parts. Don't thank me, it beats writing for my paycheck. Florian Eckhardt

Zany Rooster Teeth's second installment of their F.E.A.R.-inspired new P.A.N.I.C.S. machinima is available for download. It's a bit like Ghostbusters if while Winston was getting eaten, Ray, Peter and Egon sat around doing nothing.

Calling the Ghostbusters really isn't an option now. Let's face it, Harold Ramis let himself go and Dan Ankroyd just doesn't have "it" anymore. Seeing this void in ghost extermination, Rooster Teeth (the guys behind Red Vs. Blue) launched a new machinima series using in-game footage from F.E.A.R.

The mini-series is part of the MTV's coverage of Sierra's upcoming FPS F.E.A.R. Rooster Teeth will be putting up a new clip each week leading up to F.E.A.R.'s Oct. 18 release.

Clive Thompson has a an interesting, though oddly dated, story in the New York Time Magazine this past weekend about machinima, the artistic blending of in-game footage and voice acting to create cinema.

The seven-page piece does a nice job of hitting some of the high-points of the art form, like Red Vs. Blue and Strangerhood, but still manages to feel like it's written in a vacuum. There's no sense of why it was written when it was written or where machinima is headed and there are some real mach gems that Thompson passes over. It is nice to see Rooster Teeth getting the Times treatement, I was just hoping for some sort epiphany.
