So what in the hell is inside this box!? This Half-Life inspired video has got me intrigued. If you haven’t watched it yet, I suggest you do because I don’t know how long this video will be up for. As you can see from the image above taken from their website, it seems like this is just a teaser of something bigger to come. But what is it?
I had posted another Half Life ‘viral’ like video not too long ago by The Purchase Brothers. These videos are a bit similar and I can only imagine what a full length film would be like if these two teams of fantastic filmakers combined their talents. Don’t skip out on these videos if you’re a Half Life fan. And if you’re not familiar with Half Life, I ask you why not? Do yourself a huge favor and go buy Valve’s “The Orange Box”. Seriously, it’s one of the best series in the game industry. You can probably even get it used right now. So that’s 5 games inside The Orange Box for probably like, $20. I know the economy is bad and all but c’mon, $20 for 5 awesome games? It was before and it still is, the best video game deal of the century. Check out the video below. I’ll try to find another version to post if this gets deleted soon.
EA’s Mirror’s Edge, Radicals Prototype, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, Realtime World’s Crackdown and even Lara Croft herself have all presented their abilities in the art of Parkour. It was only a matter of time until a company with the marketing prowess at the level of, oh let’s say.. NIKE, would take the idea and run with it… literally. Check out NIKE’s ‘The Runner: Exploit yourself’ commercial directed by Carl Erik Rinsch and produced at Big Lazy Robot VFX Studios. Watch it and then watch it again. Amazing.
