How to make your wallpaper not suck
prometheus has put together a nice little guide on creating wallpaper - it's like an art guide, but specifically tailored to making images that work well as a desktop pattern.

Master Chief to Watch Over You
Wow, nice. Tarzan posted a couple of pics on our forum of a wall mural he's painting in his room. Fantastic work - even MORE impressive when you know it's coming from a 13-year-old! (Louis Wu 21:38:08 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo Effect, indeed.
Wheee... Goldman Sachs raised estimates on Microsoft today, citing (among other things) 'upside from the company's Halo 2 game'. When was the last time a company that grosses $40 billion a year had its bottom line affected by a video game? (Louis Wu 18:40:22 UTC) (permalink)

A Rough Draft
A new Subzero Rivalries has been posted. I'm listing it because we've listed all the previous ones - but this one's humor is rather juvenile. If you're easily offended, don't bother visiting, and if you do, we don't need to hear about it. Thanks, MarkHawk. (Louis Wu 16:15:12 UTC) (permalink)
Okay, DOUBLE your money back.
Hehe - sometimes a free planet ain't all you bargained for. Check out today's Calvin and Halo. (Louis Wu 15:55:26 UTC) (permalink)
