TBCS Machinma?

[noopypoop]

Anyone ever think of making a machinma with a cast of TBCS people only? if it succeeds it would be a great way to bring in people to the site.;)

[simon275]

What game though? A pc based game would be the best. Maybe BF2 as a lot of people on the forums have it.

[Drum Thumper]

BF2 would get my vote. As would Warcrack.

This is something that I've thought about doing as well. Dunno how well a fantasy script would fit into modding though...

[noopypoop]

Not really has to be modding realted, just something funny to get people interested. I mean look how popular Red vs Blue is now.

[Quakken]

for every good machinima, there are 50000 bad ones.

for every good machinima, there are 50000 bad ones.

But those bad ones are made by people who think they are funny and only use content they think is funny, when in reality the rest of the world doesnt. The fact that we have many diverse people from around the world, we could get a sense of what everyone thinks is good and funny. With that,this can be pulled off.

[Drum Thumper]

Who says it has to be funny? Look at my Custom User Title: It is not the tale, but he who tells it. Lots of people don't realize that none other than Stephen King wrote that back in the late 1970s.

Now granted, I'm no Stephen King, but I like to think I can spin a yarn or two if need be.

[simon275]

Oh yeah we got some great talent here. I am sure we can come up with something.

I know I'm old, but what's a machinma?

I would think that bf2 would be a great one, but using that Realistic mod thats posted in the games section.

I like the idea.

[noopypoop]

Or we could do americas army since its free?

So it's an online engine that we could log onto and play against eachother?

[crenn]

Sort of. It's using games with multiplayer functions.

Red Vs Blue used the Halo series to create their own series. If you go onto their website, you can see a few of the episodes.

If we do this, it should totally be in Gmod. I can picture it now... Jon doing the voice of Gman, instructing us on the next Modder's Challenge, tons of people scrambling to build the greatest Modder's Challenge mod out of garbage and seagulls...

[DZ469]

Maybe BF2 as a lot of people on the forums have it.

unfortunately, i don't :( maybe we could use halo. I know, i know, its not
original, but it is great for movies. Of course, maybe im just being lazy and
should just go get BF2, but whatever :D

That would be pretty damn fun... and it's only like 10 bucks

Gmod 9 is free.

[noopypoop]

Gmod 9 is free.

What are the specs for gmod?

[.Maleficus.]

If you can play HL2 you can play Gmod. It's all the Source Engine.

[noopypoop]

I dunno if i can play it. Probably not tho. /me goes to check

[DZ469]

Umm, whats the Gmod? I have HL2 so i can get it but what exactly is it? Oh and where can i get Gmod?

[Ichbin]

Garrys mod, otherwise knwon as GMOD is a Sandbox Modification for the Source engine that allows the user to play and fiddle with the source physics engine in a "Sandbox" sort of mode.

It allows you to create/build/animate(If you try hard enough) whatever you so want.

Here's a good example of what you can do in Garrys Mod.

For some reason it comes up as broken :(, just click the link.

[danthegeek]

GMOD gets my vote as well. Its free and you dont need a great pc to run it.

Also it is freeware. With Red vs. Blue they lucked out. Microsoft was well within their rights to sue them but they decided to team up (More publicity for Halo).

[.Maleficus.]

Yeah, if we all started a multiplayer Gmod game, this could work, and be (potentially) funny. Scrap-heap Modder's Challenge, a la Gmod!


Edit: Downloading Gmod in case we do do this.
