The First (?) TF2 Machinima... And It's Really GOOD! (Ignus Solus)
Nyteshade | 6:12 AM on 10.09.2007 9 comments


So I scrolled through the clogs and didn't see a post about this, but I worked all night so no bitching if this is a repost.

I was trolling my usual sites and came across this AMAZING TF2 machinima. It's called Ignus Solus, which is Latin and translates to "burn alone," a very apt title. It's about 8 minutes long and worth every minute of it. There's not much to say other than...

WATCH IT!



Just amazing, Valve should hire these guys and have them release stuff over Steam!

How did you buy a Nintendo on release day if you were born in 1984? (reading side panel)

My dad bought one, lol. He was a nerd for a little while back when he was an "executive," (he gave up and I kept going) that's also one of the reasons I started working with computers so early. He liked to bring home new "toys" that all the big boys carried.

So, technically "I" didn't buy it, but w/e.

Very nice piece of work there.

It has that Experimental, Silent Film type feel to it.

A+ for cinematography!

Added the "movie poster" for it because it's also bad ass.

@Squee - Yeah, I love how they manage to portray all of the feelings through the music, and basic interactions (and a cheer or two). It's amazing how much still comes across without dialog or facial expressions.

That was nice for not being all about the laughs (though the cow farting fire got an outloud chuckle out of me). The music was cool and was just really well done as far as directing. I hope they come out with more, except maybe a little more humor/story/something.

 about me

Alright, basic intro:

I was born in 1984, which means I grew up just a tad late to be an Atari front runner (still got one and played the shit outta it) but I did get to grow up with Nintendo. I've bought every Nintendo console on release day (Wii included, 32 hours outside of Wal-mart).

I'm a "hardcore gamer" but I detest the term and I won't fit into any damn mold! I LOVE retro games, and I think 90% of the shit on the game market right now isn't worth the time or money I'd have to spend to burn those shitty studios that make these games to the ground.

I hate the fact that the FPS genre has become so flooded it's hard to find anything good and not WWII, and I think the last good FPS was Half-life 2 (HL2+Source+Bioshock WTF PWN ALL).

I've been PC gaming since I was 3

Shit I've bought:

Nintendo - NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, N64, Game Boy Color, GB Advance (+SP), Virtual Boy (fun ass system imo), Gamecube, GB Micro (was a gift, I prolly wouldn't have bought one), DS, DS Lite, Wii.

Sony - Playstation, Playstation 2 (3 of em so far), PSone. Gonna buy a PS3 only if it's under $300, and a PSP when it's cheaper.

M$ - Winblows 3.1 up to Vista Ultimate (I bit the bullet and got Vista when I built my latest PC), Xbox. Gonna buy a 360 when the revamped 65nm version is down under $300.

The first computer I gamed on:
Name: IBM Personal Computer 5150
Processor: Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz (A beast!)
Memory: 64 KiB
Hard Drive: Ehhh... Nope.
Network card: Hehe... nope.

Monitor: 8" CGA graphic mode; 320 x 200 resolution.

My Current PC:
