Artwork Update
Long time coming (as usual) - but there are 32 new images in the Miscellaneous Art section. Renders, sketches, paintings - lots of good stuff! Go look. Wallpaper coming in the next day or so. (Louis Wu 15:18:19 UTC) (permalink)
Remix Planet
The July issue of Wired magazine has a nearly 20-page section on remixes - how creative projects involving the work of others have grown in recent times. They look at everything from music and art (the obvious) to movies (Tarantino, anyone?) to cars and candy. The final piece is a two-page, visual spread, showing the last 100 years or so and some of the remixes that have happened in that time. The final image of the spread is... Red vs Blue. Not bad! (Large chunks of this content are online - including the first half of the 2-page spread. Read them soon, though, because that link won't work once the August issue hits the stands.)

Strip Number 343.
You knew it was coming, right? Wow - when Stuntmutt first submitted some strips for a pun-filled Halo comic strip in 2003, who knew he'd make it all the way to 343? (And with jokes like this one, it's STILL a mystery.) Congrats, One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 12:28:22 UTC) (permalink)
Not so Strategic Strategy
For folks looking for strategy tips for the new maps, you might think that the Strategy pages at Xbox.com (Backwash, Elongation, Gemini, and Relic - no Terminal yet) would be a good place to start - but you'd be wrong. Well, the Relic and Elongation pages have some MINOR info that might be helpful - but mostly, they're just summaries of the maps. Bummer. (Louis Wu 12:13:30 UTC) (permalink)
The right tool for the job
Last Friday, XerxdeeJ added an item called 'Wish List' to his Halo blog, 'Tied the Leader' - it looks at add-ons he wishes he could buy for his Xbox... that would go with games he wishes he could buy for it. The piece spawned a pretty sizeable response from 3Suns - who suggests that his playing ability in Halo 2 might be tied to the shortcomings of the controller he's forced to use. It's more a discussion of ergonomics than a whine - I'm not sure I agree with him (my thumbs seem to fit the controller better than his do, or something), but it's a thought-provoking post. Give it a look! (Louis Wu 11:22:11 UTC) (permalink)
2old2type, Ep 4
DSmooth points out that 2old2play has posted episode 4 of their podcast news summary, 2old2type, on their website. They discuss everything from the new map pack to nudity in video games - the download is 29 mb, available via BitTorrent. Go listen! (Louis Wu 11:10:20 UTC) (permalink)
RvB collection at Frag Nutz
Razgriz points out that Frag Nutz, a Halo 2 clan, has the full collection (Episodes 1-57) of Red vs Blue online for registered user download (with permission from Geoff of RvB). If you're looking for any of these, swing by! (Check out the rest of the site while you're there.) (Louis Wu 11:05:44 UTC) (permalink)
The wins keep coming for Team 3D
MLGPro's Dyslexia sat down with Team 3D after MLG St. Louis to talk about their win, and about playing in general. A good read - go check it out! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 11:01:51 UTC) (permalink)
