I was just about to post this, and yes, it is amazing. I think it should be clarified though, that this wasn't made by some dudes with free time and some skills. The Purchase Brothers are professionals who make commercials and such, so while their budget may have been limited, I don't think it would be too far off to assume they certainly had the right connections as far as getting it to look as amazing as it does.

My only problem is when those two guys talk, it just kind of hurts. When guns are fired though, its Nirvana of the highest caliber.

Sweet, sweet powers that be, this just made my whole week. It may even make my month, depending on how the rest of February goes. I am so happy this is just the first part in what looks like an incredible series.

I saw the other stuff on the Purchase Brothers channel. The Coke Babies commercial seemed to imply that Coca-Cola will cure global warming. It's there for just a second. It's like some sort of subliminal "coke is great" message that isn't true, regardless of how good Coca-Cola is.

The iPhone Everything one is pretty cool, but it's also the only other thing on the channel right now.
Can't wait for more.

I would but I hate walking, okay? UH!

You know, I wouldn't mind acting in that. I mean, I bet there are a lot of people that wouldn't mind acting in that, I mean, shit. But I think I could possibly do a good job. The problem is, I haven't had any acting training and very little experience, and have no connections whatsoever. If I somehow do have some sort of obscure connection, I don't see it. Well, I do know these guys... oh, never mind. Not this decade. Maybe one day when I've actually made an effort.

Until then, if I'm still interested, I should practice by making my own crappy videos. Don't worry, I wouldn't force them on the world if they turned out shit (which isn't out of the question). And I may never get to it anyway, and just go in another direction entirely. I'm at a point in my life when I want to do everything, and I could just end up doing nothing if I never motivate myself. Pfft. I don't know.

And what's with hands, man? They're like little creatures at the ends of your arms that crawl around doing shit.


I agree. About that sound they make, I haven't played Half Life 2 yet (which I'm ashamed to admit, I just haven't gotten to it, I'll play it soon though) but I know enough and have seen enough about it to realize it must have come directly from the game. It just felt weird, out of place. They should find some other way of putting it in. When you hear it in the game, is it supposed to be so loud like that because you can hear it over some radio? Then maybe it should be quieted down, like the pistol, since both are things that only sounded so loud in the game because it was from a closer perspective.

Brilliantly put together, totally caught the vibe that HL2 set with city 17, the only thing that needs work is actors lines, but than again they didn't have very many lines.

That was pretty intense. I'm a huge fan of Half-Life, but I couldn't believe the video's only been up for four days and it's had over a million hits.

I've already mentioned the new cut of Part One in another thread, but I didn't mention the exciting teaser they've released, and besides, it deserves to be mentioned here, in the original thread. I can't wait until the next part comes out. I am beside myself with anticipation.
