We made an audio podcast for
@99percentinvisible about machinima, the art of making movies using video games. They also let me make it into a video podcast which was so so fun and I think really showcases both the power of machinima and what video podcasting could look like.

@pinnygrylls ,

@glorifiedmagnified 's This Spartan Life is one of my all time favorite web series and a truly groundbreaking iconoclastic work of machinima that explored in an alternately profound and deeply silly way what it means to be a human in a virtual world
8: machinima is on its way to taking over hollywood. I love the old Rampage games.
9: putting this scene from the ILL Clan's classic Apartment Huntin' machinima into a scene from
@playstack 's The Case of the Golden Idol actually makes a lot of sense in context
10:
@illbixby of the ILL Clan made a lot of great machinima after the golden age was waning, including an episode of CSI: NYC in which they catch a killer inside of
