The Hidden: Pigsticking 101

Comrade Chez — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 12:32:05 +0000

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

Comrade Chez — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:45:17 +0000

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

Comrade Chez — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:04:41 +0000

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

Comrade Chez — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:46:36 +0000

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

Comrade Chez — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:43:02 +0000

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!

Flame on!

A slightly tongue-in-cheek look at the W+M1 Pyro. Fairly decent quality video, though some real tards on the game end. With such a manic Pyro around, why the hell would half the opposite team play Spy? And watch out for the player’s attempt to turn himself into a S+M1 Pyro!

Minesweeper: The Movie

Comrade Chez — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:29:49 +0000

It was pretty much waiting to happen. I mean, after such runaway crossover hits like Street Fighter, Doom or Alone in the Dark, it was only a matter of time before someone went ahead and made a film version of one of the most popular titles ever to grace a computer monitor. And joking aside, I wouldn’t be surprised if Uwe Boll had considered it.

Street Fighter in 15 pixels

Comrade Chez — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:56:07 +0000

Gaming minimalism at its finest. I don’t imagine there are too many games out there that could be played with just 15 pixels, but here’s Street Fighter in lite/light mode. Reminds me of the graphics settings I used to use for Counter-Strike.

Star Fox in Iraq

Comrade Chez — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:57:23 +0000

Ever wondered what it would be like if the average pilot had to contend with wingmates like those in Star Fox? No, neither have I, but this little video from College Humor shows how it might go. Presumably if it weren’t a bombing mission, he’d have been left out on a limb hoping there’s a checkpoint nearby.

Do a barrel roll!

Sonic vs Pacman

Comrade Chez — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:32:02 +0000

Alternative history: if Sonic had been around when Pacman was at the height of popularity, would gaming ever have been the same?
