My brother in law asked for some Red Sox sketches. Being a die hard Yankee fan, naturally I refused. Now that they've gone and made it to the World Series again, it would be unsporting of me to refuse to acknowledge the accomplishment.
Go Rockies.

I finally got Halo 3. It's pretty rad. I'm glad I went back and checked out the first two. This one's definitely the best. Really shows off the 360. It reminded me of when I popped Super Mario World into the Super Nintendo back in the day. It was still Mario jumping on Koopas, but it was just so much more polished and delightful. I love the attention to detail that Bungie put into it. One of my favorite moments so far was when I was able to sneak up on a guy with Active Camo on Snowbound because I could track his footprints in the snow.
This pic is some hot Master Chief-on-Master Chief action from the multiplayer. It's an actual screenshot from an actual game which I think you actually see here.
If not just go to Bungie.net and search for Etchasketchist and poke around till you find it.
That's my friend Gibby pwning me with the Plasma sword on Construct. I won the match, but this is a little more representative of my noobishness online.
I'm getting better though. Soon I will be feared.

Congrats Steph and Paul! Now she has another one to add to her collection. All I got was a picture. Still don't know if it's a boy or a girl.
Update: It's a boy!
Update 2: and his name is Liam!

Check out his awesome organic farm.

The extremely rare vertical sketch. Always time consuming and the results are never exactly what you planned, but you get the idea: Pretty girl. Cute cat.

Covenant Grunt
I'm still catching up on my Halos. I'm a little over a third of the way through Halo 2 now and I should be ready to tackle 3 in a week or so. I'm really enjoying the time capsule effect. It's neat going back and experiencing something that blew everyone away 6 years ago.
The first Halo was undeniably awesome. I love how just as you've mastered all the Covenant baddies, the game flips and introduces the Flood which completely changes the dynamics. You have to use different weapons, move through rooms and corridors differently and instead of a feeling of being an efficient and graceful killing machine, you have to become a panicked, trigger happy freak in order to survive.
The sequel isn't really doing it for me so far. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the fact that the learning curve isn't there like it was in the first Halo. Going straight from H1 to H2 with nothing in between kinda ruins the learning curve. One of the great pleasures of video game playing is going up against a game that seems impossible and slowly figuring out the strategies and techniques necessary to beat it. That happened a ton in Halo. I kept getting stuck at checkpoints that seemed absurdly beyond my abilities. At first I was frustrated and thought this was poor pacing on Bungies part, but now that I'm breezing through Halo 2, I'm beginning to appreciate it more. Maybe H2 still has awesomeness left in it, but I'm dubious. Hopefully 3 will find the right balance. We shall see.
Haven't touched multiplayer yet. Doesn't really look that fun to me:

This one came in Sept. 2nd. It's now Oct. 1st. That gives you an idea of about how long you have to wait before the picture you sent in goes up on the site.
