Potato chips in the desert
Red vs Blue Episode 12 went live last night - it's almost all Machinima (as opposed to CG), and it's almost all plot. And it's quite good. Light on the humor - but heavy on the good. Go watch. Thanks, Bryan Newman.

A list of good games
IGN decided their last 'Top 25 Xbox 360 Games' list might not stand the test of time, so they revised it. (Looks liked they'd revised it already; if you step through the older version (which is dated 2011 now), you'll see that Reach is the only Halo game on the list, at #5... until you get to the final page, which shows the 2010 list, with Halo Wars at #17, Halo 3: ODST at #13, and Halo 3 at #5.) New list (thanks, Morpheus) puts ODST at #20 and Halo 3 at #13. Whee! (Louis Wu 13:03:07 UTC) (permalink)
