Halo - The Future of Gaming

You'd think this is a possibility with all the Halo3 tie-ins.

Have you ever played Halo? Will you?

I haven't. I'm not much for first-person-shooters. Especially player-vs-player ones. I just suck. Still, Halo3 looks to be graphically beautiful, and there is something a bit cathartic about blowing away digital enemies. I'm just not going to drop $350 on an Xbox 360 then another $50 or more just for a single game.

People are doing it, though.

The Guild - Episodes 1 - 3

This is for all my gaming buddies:

The Guild - Episode 1: Wake-Up Call


The Guild - Episode 2: Zaboo'd


The Guild - Episode 3: The Macro Problem


Yes, that is Felicia Day, Vi from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A couple others look vaguely familiar, but none of their names (from the credits) ring a bell.

Anyhow, funny stuff!

And eerily familiar overtones. o.O

The Ballad of the Noob

This was hilarious! And, yes, according to the video's creators, they are aware alliance and Horde cannot actually talk to each other, let alone trade items.

You may want to turn this up a little, as a few spots get kinda hard to hear.

The Brothers Tauren 2

Meh, not nearly as funny as Red Sky Foundry's first one, but humorous enough. This was posted to YouTube on November 8, 2006. Being that was almost a year ago, the chances of The Brothers Tauren 3 being made are not looking so good.

Red Sky Foundry also did a SIMS machinima (movies made from video game captures). It can be found at their woefully un-updated website. It's pretty funny, and the SIMS game seems well suited to making your own movies in it.

Wonder what a WoW SIMS game would be like? Hmmmmm ...

The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time

I know, double update. Don't fall over in shock.

The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time is a slick looking trailer, isn't it? While not big-budget, summer blockbuster, special effects laden eye candy, it looks polished, clean, and interesting.

And it is a real movie being made.

Don't believe me? Go visit the Legend of Zelda Series website.

It is an in dependant film not associated with, nor endorsed by, Nintendo. It is also apparently wallowing in delay. Even so, the trailer is something tot be proud of, and it looks no worse than the typical Sci-Fi Original Movie plopped onto your television every week or two.

I'd watch it. Not sure about paying to see this version, but on TV or free download? sure, I'm there!

Pac Man: The Movie

The premise of this parody is actually quite good. Spirits, or perhaps ghostly aliens, invade after a technology labs' experiments go horribly wrong. It is up to them to stop it ... using the newly developed Particle Acceleration Capsules!

Okay, it's not really exactly what the fake movie trailer is all about, but I sorta like my premise a little better than the one they sorta show. Still, this is hilarious. The best bit is at the very, very end!
