Video games as art

Todays post isn't actually referring to video games as an artistic medium.  We are actually referring to using video games and their peripherals as a means to create art.  These were taken by my good friend Greg Samson.(Gamertag Samson303)  They were shot on a Rebel XSI.  More to come.

Podcast #2 is up

After a long hiatus of blogging and the podcast, Jeezy and I recorded a new podcast last night.  Check out the podcast and also make sure you subscribe and leave feedback on iTunes for us.  It should be pretty entertaining.  We talked a little WoW and about the new Halo 3:ODST.  We go a little into the lore of the Halo universe and we speculate on what Halo Reach will be.  Also we give a couple shout outs to a few friends around the office.  Hope you enjoy and leave feedback.

+15 Frost...

Anyone who likes Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog should check out The Guild .  A really funny web series especially for any mmo gamer.  You can also download all episodes from Xbox Live and Season 2 is even in HD.

Who are you...?

Today a few of us were talking about the avatars in the NXE and how closely you can make your digital self resemble your real life persona. Although it was touched on briefly, I though it would be kinda cool to show your avatars off. Log in to xbox.com and manage your profile and you will find a picture of your avatar which you can copy and paste to a new post.   So what do you think?

A friendly reminder!

 I was reminded last week by Newton 3.0 , that some features in the NXE may still be unknown or just not used to yet.  If you login to xbox.com and go to the Xbox Live Marketplace page, you can que up downloads for either game content, or video content.  This is your Xbox tip of the day.

NXE - One More Day to GO!

Well, it's released to the masses tomorrow November 19th, but if you were vigilant you could have gotten an invite to get it TODAY! Unfortunately I wasn't but what's one more day? It's a totally revamped Xbox dashboard which makes it easier to get with friends, find movies, games, and many other items in the Marketplace, and it looks cool. Plus there's avatars. I know it's kind of a rip off of the Wii interface, but hey it looks a lot better than the soon to be replaced dashboard. Look for my Mii, I mean avatar tomorrow!

Left4Dead, looking good!

So the talk around these parts lately has been the Left4Dead demo that went up last week.  Many a people has requested I download the demo and play with them, ranting and raving on the mechanics of game play.  Since it is released today, I thought I would let you know it has gotten pretty good scores.  I know at least one blogger here is definitely picking it up.
