Meant to put this up last month – Nine Inch Nails performs Wish with The Dillinger Escape Plan. Have to say I wasn’t that impressed with Puciato’s vocal on DEP’s cover of this but this performances is straight awesome.

I couldn’t take it.

don’t remember where I snagged this from, but there you have it – the sleep forever pill.

It may take a minute for the GIF to load.

So, that’s how it’s done?

I had been updating here with the goings-on of Halo quite often, so I thought I’d pop back in quickly to talk about the Mythic Map Pack that was just released for Halo 3. It’s 800 ms points and has 3 new maps that include Sandbox, Orbital and Assembly. Assembly is a cousin to Midship from Halo 2, Orbital is a great hallways map that reminds one of Elongation only much bigger – and Sandbox alone is worth the 10 bucks because of the ability to build in the sky bubble and the crypt as well as the default playable area. Sandbox is Foundry to the max(TM), only much bigger and as close as we’ll ever get to a full-fledged level editor in Halo 3 (and is, by the way, what they had alluded to last year).

Here is my first creation on Sandbox, called 712342 (download from my Halo 3 file share). It’s a very small two-sided map in the sky (pictured) designed for (what else) Fiesta gameplay. Aside from the requisite falling fusion cores, a nasty trap involving skids in the middle of the map makes one question the choice of grabbing the overshield in the middle.

And this next pic isn’t on the new map, but it was taken during the same session and I had to share it.

(Consider the fact that fusion cores fall repeatedly in the middle of Fight Club, so it’s pretty likely that the green random isn’t going to live very long)

i thought computers were supposed to be more precise than this? I can’t count how many times this green garage band slipped on their timing. Oh well – still pretty impressive that you can make some old machines emulate Queen.

ya know, i kinda rolled my eyes at the tax day tea party thing – but billy bob neck here makes it hard to argue with the concept of teabagging for Jesus.

id pay somebody to strip the audio from this and put it to a clip of some good ol’ Halo 3 teabaggin’.
