The Pillar of Art is Standing
The day has come - and man, have we been waiting for it! The Pillar of Art contest results have finally been posted. Details, and images of all the entries, can be found on the Pillar of Art site... but we'll recap the basic stuff here.
- First Prize: Adam Vehige ($250, and a signed piece from Bungie)
- Second Prize: Richard Menchaca ($150)
- Third Prize: Russ Leach ($100)
- Special Award: Geoff Chang (Red MC action figure, as seen on the webcam)
There are also (as-yet unannounced) prizes for some of the younger submitters; we haven't pinned down exactly what's available yet, so we haven't decided how to divvy up the loot - but that's coming. Also coming are artist bios, and their explanations of their work. (We simply didn't have time to get all of this into web-friendly format in time for this post.) The gallery showing for all of this work will take place on July 5, and details will be posted as the day gets closer. Congratulations to everyone who entered - we had a tough time! And to Richard Menchaca - we hope this prize makes a decent birthday present for you today. :) (Louis Wu 16:22:50 UTC) (permalink)
Halo links
A few links for you: Tekkomix was one of the sites kind enough to contribute bandwidth to the mad trailer rush last week - they also host a Halo clan, The Shadows. Brandon points out Installation 07, a Halo forum that needs some new members. And Alberto wants us to know about LANWARRIORS, an Italian Halo clan. Check 'em all out!

X-Factor Hype Heats Up
HemoGloben noticed that IGN has a hi-res trailer for tonight's X-Factor special on the Discovery Channel; if you're not an insider, you're stuck with a WMP9 version, but Insiders have access to a 32 mb QuickTime version. It'll definitely whet your whistle for this program! (Along those lines, SketchFactor forwarded a fun little promo graphic (67k) from FilmOasis yesterday - check it out!)

Bloody Murder
Red vs Blue episode 10 is out now for sponsors... this has got to be the funniest episode yet. It's also HUGE; it's almost like they slapped together two episodes to make up for last week's missed episode. (They weren't slacking, they were serving you folks more than a terabyte a day of Halo 2 demo trailer goodness, so don't be givin' 'em any lip.) If you're not a sponsor, registered forum members will have access late Saturday/early Sunday, and the rabble can grab it Sunday afternoon. This one's really big... but really worth it. (c0ld vengeance was the first to notice on our forum, I think.) Update: whoa, didn't catch this first time around... but the voice of Blue Command (and his mouth) were supplied by a special guest - Randall Glass. Way to go, Randy!
