Machinima Festival and News
Hugh Hancock writes: "Machinima (real-time 3D film-making in game engines, what used to be called 'Quake Movies') has a bit of a grab-bag day today -- the New York Times (registration, blah) is running an article on it, prompted by the announcement of the first Machinima-only film festival, sponsored by NVidia!"
Brilliant article. Very intrerresting and has me interrested in looking for such films. It seems I'll reopen my Quake 1 box soon. :-)
The only gripe I have about the article is about this snippet of text :
For instance, one might put a terrorist's head on an opponent's body.
That, my friends, is bad journalism. Stop thinking 9/11 and give the rest of the world a rest and stop adding terrorist consipiracies and references to everything you write.
Even tough I sympatize with the american people about the tragic events of 9/11, please lighten up and realize that there has been people who've cried for longer and harder than you in a lot of countries devastated by war and terrorism and that it took you two towers and the death thousands of rich americans to realize the horror of MILLIONS of poor 3rdworld habitants.
Sometimes, I think that americans put more value on their life than other people. It's not rare that thousands of people get killed in a week in some countries due to terrorist activities. But you never hear of them, and you people don't care. But 2000 rich americans, oh... this is much more important.
I'd like to have someone prove me wrong on this... and someone who will say other things than "F*** YOU, A**HOLE." But maybe that changed with 9/11, and you people finally fell back from your cloud.
Welcome to the real world.
