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.

HOME is finally here!!!

So after many frustrations today  (forgetting the cable, server crashing, etc.) HOME BETA is finally out and for anybody with a PS3 and a PSN account for the grabs. 

The interface looks like something that apple could have created. Games can be created and launched within HOME, no more excuses for not inviting your friends to kick some arse with you in R2. 

Every location has to be downloaded, with a size averaging 32mb and taking about 3 minutes to download (Comcast 12mbs here) and can be downloaded in the background while you explore other areas. 

The movie theater not that impressive, looks just like any other theater but at least the videos play in HD. Too bad people get in the way if you are seated, and yes that redhead is Hayley from Paramore in the Twilight music video, damn I'm so happy to see her at home to bad is not mine :(

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?
