Perfecting Stand-Up Comedy Using Quake?

TheNomad writes "Many of you probably know about Machinima, most easily described as 'filmmaking within a real-time, 3D virtual environment', but did you realise that some people are taking it a stage further, and performing improvised Machinima comedy live, using Quake II? There's an interview with the ILL Clan on Machinima.com, talking about their live Machinima work, of which the latest part is called 'Larry & Lenny on the Campaign Trail'."

I'd hardly call this "perfection"

The medium of comedy is of no matter. Comedy is comedy; be it written, performed, filmed, or digitized.

It's quite possible that to some comedians, not being able to hear the reaction of their audience would be a distinct advantage. Just turn loop a laugh track mpeg while they're playing, pretend it's an audience, and they get an ego booster while their audience gets . . . never mind.
