The Hidden: Pigsticking 101

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Part of a possible forthcoming clip montage for the Red Army, here’s a funny little scene from our recent The Hidden: Source MOD night. Watch it on the higher quality settings for a hope of spotting Subject 617 dodging in and out!

Note: I should probably point out that The Hidden during this scene was being played by someone who actually knew what they were doing, i.e. not one of us.

Source Wars: Day of Defeat vs. The Hidden

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

As part of their little series pairing off various Source-engine games and mods, machinima.com contributors Xanatos and the Janus Syndicate set up a match between The Hidden and the Wehrmacht from Day of Defeat: Source. The Germans fare about as well as we used to. Watching this actually brings back fond memories of the original Aliens vs. Predator!

Left 16 Dead Server Hack

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Ever wondered why Valve restricted Left 4 Dead to just four players? Aside from the fact that they could make a catchy title out of it? This video shows a server hacked to allow a bit of extra support to join. Well, I say a bit, the zombies even find themselves outnumbered at some points. But aside from the worse pings, lack of tension, outnumbered zombies, and the hours waiting for people to enter the safe house, it seems L4D could at least technically cope with it. So if you’re finding the game hard, one of these servers just might be for you!

Dr. Blu Parody

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

I’ve heard of sneak teasers, but this is going too far. After combining two of the greatest forms of entertainment, this little video cuts off just before the episode’s about to start! Very well made little parody of Dr. Who. And as someone pointed out on the original thread, nice use of the supply cabinet as Tardis stand-in! How else does all that ammo and health fit in there?

Left 4 Dead: 8-bit

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Finally, a version of Left 4 Dead that will run smoothly even on this machine! With today’s release of Left 4 Dead 2 obviously stealing all the limelight, I thought it only fair to spread a little love for this rather amusing creation from Eric Ruth. Just turn the clocks back twenty years and imagine the hype that would’ve surrounded the release of Left 4 Dead in 8-bit fashion, this is what is rather modestly termed a ‘de-make’ of the original. Slated for free release in January, and including all of the maps and monsters of the original, be sure to check it out!
