  1. Oh no! by cliffy2000 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No machinima category! Or does that count as animation? Seriously, they're bound to bore /. readers without a machinima category. (Or some sort of IP-related lawsuit to rant about.) But seriously, will the technology ever progress enough to be seriously considered? And MORE seriously, will SOMEONE please come up with a better name than machinima? Gah!

    I had a bit of a browse last year, and there were some pretty cool flicks. Hopefully this year it is as good. Good for filling in time.

    Obviously, somebody has to point out the Academy Awards Of Halo Videos to them. It may not have the best technical effects, but RvB has a reasonably consistent story line, and it's gotten a good number of long belly-laughs out of me.

    i doubt it. there are no gender issues, minority ascending, or strongly environmental issues in it.

    Flame me if you will, but honestly-- we did a Palm App for Sundance a while back, and there is a definite slant to things there...

  6. Homestarrunner Sundance Special? by PoisonousPhat · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Sorry, it had to be mentioned eventually. Not that it would actually happen, but it would be amusing to find that a homegrown, word-of-mouth supported creation were to beat out a more highly-funded studio's work.

    Comedy is an art form.
