Hey guys,

Got an Email from Chris Burke over at This Spartan Life.  He's got a cool campaign for his award-winning machinima in the works, thought I would make a mention for one of the best Machinimas out there.

"This Spartan Life NEWS 

*This Spartan Life cast members in "virtual dream date" shocker!*

*After a long hiatus, TSL is back from meat space and diving headlong into game space for a new episode.*
And to promote the new video, we are offering a virtual dream date with our own Amber of the Solid Gold Elite Dancers. The beautiful but deadly Amber has agreed to go on a virtual date in Halo 3 on Xbox Live, with anyone who pledges $200 or more to our *Kickstarter.com* project.
Being an independent media company means always having to be creative with raising funds and Kickstarter is about as creative a fundraising tool as we've seen. So we thought we'd bring something unique to the deal and offer much more than the usual tee shirts and credits in the video. A date with Amber is something a gamer will never forget (if he survives.)

But maybe Amber is too much for you and you'd prefer a more relaxed date. Well then, Fyb3roptik and MC Aero are ready and willing to sweep you off to their multi-player Casbah and show you the most romantic spots. Plus, pledges of $25 or more automatically get entered into one of three *monthly raffles* for a date with a TSL cast member.
Go to our kickstarter.com page for the full details:
