2005 Machinima Festival This Weekend

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-to-see dept.

An anonymous reader writes that "Village Voice has a small article by Julian Dibbell about the Machinima Film Festival that takes place this Saturday (Nov. 12th) at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. The festival is also holding their annual awards on Friday night. For me, the highlight is their honoring David Wright for creating Keygrip (the program behind the creation of Quake movies like Blahbalicious and Operation Bayshield) - which is a nice nod to machinima's roots. "

    The use of Machinima is forbidden by the Teachings of Yevon!

    Pray with the Fayth for forgivness, for these transgressions.

    Or face the wrath of Sin.

    OK, this machinima festival is at the Museum of the Moving Image over in Astoria, eh? Well, guess what? There *is* no MotMI in Astoria, Ohio! This story is a total fraud!

    Seriously, can we get a little context?

    The 'Computer Space' Hot Circuits: web page dedicated to old arcade games is interesting. You can even download the ROM of each game and emulate it using MAME. FUN STUFF! :)

    Good quote:

    There are deeper reasons why these games endure. Arcade games familiarized an entire generation with computers and screen-based interaction. They remain an object lesson in game design. Despite their technologically complex origins, they can be experienced as simple but intense pleasures, with engaging play mechanics and elegant interfaces. --Carl Goodman, Curator of Digital Media
