I see the lawsuit now...
You know you've made it when they start copying you. Red vs Blue has gotten quite a bit of positive press recently, and rightly so - they're doing wonderful things with the art of Halo engine moviemaking. And now... they've spawned a tribute group; Salmon vs Teal. We should make it clear that these guys have nothing but the highest respect for the RvB crew... they just want to show it with a parody series. The first installment is up now; it's available in two formats, a large (720x480, 12.3 mb, QT) and a medium (400x300, 5.4 mb, QT). Grab the one your bandwidth allows. You can comment on the project in this forum thread. Update: Both versions of this film have been mirrored by That Weasel Television - always great to have extra bandwidth!

Strykerwolf - in the spotlight again!
We've mentioned the Counter-Strike skin made by Strykerwolf a few times since it was released to the net over a year ago... but it looks like it's getting more press now. LeAtHeRnEcK points out that it's been made Skin of the Day over at CS-Nation... check it out! (Louis Wu 19:18:31 UTC) (permalink)
A plethora of pictures
Cybrfrk has posted 106 pics from E3 on his website. Some have been seen before (on the b.org E3 coverage page) but many, many of them are new. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 17:36:51 UTC) (permalink)
The Wegg?
Some of Stuntmutt's One One Se7en episodes are turned in early, but involve topical (at the time of creation) subjects; I worried a bit that the joke would be lost by the time the strip was aired. Today's strip is a perfect example... it involves the Megg easter egg, which was found over a month ago. Luckily, however, it showed up on our forum again this weekend... fortuitous. Take a look - it should make you grin. (Louis Wu 16:15:16 UTC) (permalink)
E3 highlight flick now available smaller
Back on May 13, we mentioned a non-shakeycam movie being distributed by Gamespot; it was 9.7 mb, in .MOV format. (It's basically a highlight reel, but it's direct feed.) It was (is) a free download, but you have to register with Gamespot to get it. Well, that same movie, in a smaller form (320x240, 3.4 mb, MPEG) is now available WITHOUT the Gamespot watermark, over at GamesRadarUK. Thanks to 3Suns for the heads-up!

G4's got some Halo 2 coverage
Gantry points out that episode 211 of the show 'Filter' on G4Tv (next airing this Thursday, 3:30 pm) covers the Most Anticipated Games of E3 - and Halo 2 is number 1. Watch it if you've got it! (If you just can't get enough of G4's Halo 2 coverage, they've also got an episode of Pulse covering E3 (in which Halo 2 figures prominently) showing Tuesday morning at 3 am...)

The Junkyard goes Halo 2
Ryan 'Mhaddy' Matthews of the Junkyard writes to let us know that their Halo 2 section is now online. Content is sparse (because info about the game is sparse), but it will be filled out as the situation warrants. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:02:28 UTC) (permalink)
Ouch.
We posted a series of desktops on Saturday; 6 of them were variations on an existing wallpaper, done by a completely different person, who wasn't consulted about (and doesn't approve of) having his art modified. We've yanked the 6 offending pieces. Just a heads-up. (Louis Wu 02:54:29 UTC) (permalink)
Communication is important.
I HATE using the front page this way - and I won't, any more. To whoever uploaded a 125 mb archive to our ftp area this evening (upload finished a bit before 7 pm EDT), without an email address, we'll simply toss this. (It doesn't have to be made public - but we need it in order to contact you about your submission.) If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this clearer to uploaders in general, I'm all ears.
