Horrible Halo site of the day

by Ken Weeks { Jul 20th 2006 at 2:00AM }

When the best thing about your Halo machinima site is a picture Chuck Norris as Master Chief, you're in trouble. You're also probably trapped in the throes of puberty. Reader Bill says his Mom won't let him play Saints Row. He also says his site "so horrible it's funny" and needs some traffic. I'd say the emphasis is on horrible, but here's a little link love to take the sting out of Mom's censurous attitude towards simulated gangland violence.

I understand some of my movies suck, but my friends and I worked extra hard on our newest video, Alien Attack. I hope you guys find at least that one funny. And thank you so much xbox360fanboy! They say every dog has his day. I just had mine, thanks to you.

And by the way guys, I might be able to get Saints Row. I'll just have to stretch the truth about the content it contains.

Bill Massie, im vary tempted to sue you for the 5 minnutes of my life I wasted to find out this is the absolute worst machinima site on the internet.. This sight makes me forget every lamb WoW Machinima I have ever seen. Besides the picture Chuck Norris as Master Chief, you kids got alot of work to do order to master the machinima thing....

PS: I hope you get kidney stones the size of plasma gernades!

Death by Sea, was actually suprisingly funny. I guess the post about how lamethesite is kinda set me up to think anything that was slightly good would make me laugh.

Kudos to you and keep trying. Also the chuck norris picture is pretty brilliant. Don't let anybody else say its lame.

wow why are so many of u guys such arses, give some constructive criticism instead of throwing insults at the poor dude...dickheads..

If you want constructive advice, here you go. Real machinema takes a serious investment (I realize you're young and this might be a problem). You need things like microphones and a computer that can capture video (instead of recording the screen with a camera). Also, make sure you base your movies off of a good script. Don't base your movies off of a concept. Concept sketches are funny in principle but don't have solid dialog to back them up (Saturday Night Live has a BIG problem with this these days). A good script can even make people forgive your unfortunate recording setup.

That's it. Have fun and good luck!

Goddamn it I'n not that young! I'm 14 years old, and I even have a job. On our newest movie, Alien ATttack, I did write out a full script. That is most likely the reason it is our best film yet. And I don't know where I can buy an external capture card...

As much as I, and many other 360 fanboys appreciate the active community; to me this just sounds like an invitation for all the wanna-be RoosterTeeth (RoosterTeeths?) out there to ignore the MPRRS http://mprrs.bungie.org/ and submit their halfhearted machinema straight to 360fanboy. Not to suggest that I want less news, but generally speaking when these cries for help become published, it only makes others cry louder.

Dang nam-it, I forgot the other part.

@Bill- Dazzle makes a relatively inexpensive card ($50) http://tinyurl.com/cpl4v that is RCA/S-Video to USB. The only problem is that, while it is recognized by XP and Windows Movie Maker 3, it generally will only cooperate with the atrocious prepackaged pinnacle quickstart pack-in software. I find for my novice machinema it does its job well enough

On that note, I have a garbage collection of novice machinema on my even more pathetic site (msn spaces) Feature me Ken! http://www.spaces.msn.com/xgscratchpad
