Jack Walters thinks he’s ready for active duty again – but all may not be as it seems. Great effects, astoundingly high compression (so that a 15 minute 640×480 movie weighs…

    Over at the Red vs Blue website, OboeCrazy posted a new vid (you won’t be able to read that without an RvB account) – It’s a realization of the Barenaked Ladies song ‘Bank Job’, in the Halo engine. She took a great song, and made it live – it’s a beautiful job. I have one…

    by

    in

    This came in yesterday, but I forgot to post it.

  • A Wee Joke.

    by

    in

    You might think, from the title of today’s One One Se7en, that it pokes fun at Nintendo’s newest console. You’d be vastly overestimating Stuntmutt’s maturity level, though…(Louis Wu 16:26:31 UTC)
