Xbox As An Indie Movie Studio

Posted by Zonk on from the gotta-love-machinima dept.

jhsiao writes "The NYT has an article about machinima and movies set entirely within video games. In the article they interview a number of machinima artists including the folks at Rooster Teeth Productions who brought us Red vs. Blue." From the article: "He created a comedy series called ''Red vs. Blue,'' a sort of sci-fi version of ''M*A*S*H.'' In ''Red vs. Blue,'' the soldiers rarely do any fighting; they just stand around insulting one another and musing over the absurdities of war, sounding less like patriotic warriors than like bored, clever video-store clerks."

    What am I missing?? Doesn't one purchase a computer game to PLAY the game, NOT to sit around, "rarely fighting", with voiceovers for some god-aweful comedy?

    I don't know about you guys, but RvB has to be the stupidest thing around. I for one, enjoy Halo, like, as in actually playing it.
