RvB vid, theme on XBLM
According to Major Nelson, there's a new Red vs Blue Holiday Video, and a Theme for your 360, available on Xbox Marketplace. (No pictures I can find online, yet.) Thanks, darthbob100. (Louis Wu 18:13:19 UTC) (permalink)
Off The Top Of His Head...
Today's One One Se7en is much more understandable if you're British. (Louis Wu 15:17:54 UTC) (permalink)
Makin' a Buck
This popped up yesterday, but I forgot to mention it. Apparently, one of the UK sites that has been given a set of beta slots to give away to fans has decided to SELL those slots. Microsoft was not amused, and warned any site caught doing this would be cut off from all future Microsoft goodies. (Presumably, the slots that were sold will be voided, as well.) If the site you love is SELLING slots instead of giving them away, run; as Evil Otto puts it - "the only thing you will purchase is disappointment." Thanks to Red_Breast for the first heads-up. Update: looks like that Britbox article has been yanked - Deadguy71 found a different one that's still live, at HEXUS Gaming. (Louis Wu 13:33:40 UTC) (permalink)
LifePod Episode 3
Merecatfish points out that LifePod 3 is up - highlight is an interview with mapmaker NeuroKoNeza. 30 minutes long, 28 mb. Check it out! (Louis Wu 03:59:16 UTC) (permalink)
Alternating Blockbusters
Red_Breast found a story at totally360.com (and 3Suns found a similar one at 2old2play) talking about a snippet in an upcoming issue of EGM - apparently, they're claiming that Microsoft's gameplan is to alternate Gears of War and Halo releases, to help stomp on Sony and Nintendo's marketing buzz. The biggest problem with this gameplan is that Bungie has already said that Halo 3 is the end of this story arc, and (while they haven't said they're throwing up yet) they've been working nearly exclusively on Halo for the past 7 years. At some point... you'd think they'd be tired of it, even if Microsoft isn't. Maybe the 'Halo' after Gears 2 will be Halo Wars? (Louis Wu 03:51:14 UTC) (permalink)
MLG News Ticker
3Suns pointed out a bunch of new stuff at MLGPro.com - there's an interview with Carbon, a story about Legit (who recently left Storm Ventures) joining Legendz, filling StrongSide's slot, and the MLG side of the WSVG/MLG tiff this weekend at the WSVG finals. Good fun. (Louis Wu 03:46:53 UTC) (permalink)
The Heretic Drama Trailer
Nerrolken, of the Edgeworks Entertainment team (the guys who created the Codex Series last year), sent word that they've released The Heretic Trailer, the first of two. This is the Drama Trailer - the next will be the Action Trailer. It gives you a taste of the storyline of the upcoming Heretic series. It's available in QuickTime format (12.6 mb), and WMP9 format (7.2 mb). Looks to be a fantastic series! Check it out. (Louis Wu 03:41:22 UTC) (permalink)
