CS For Kids hits 10 million views

Community News 15 Comments »

Not even two years since it was released and Counter-Strike For Kids has just passed the ten million viewcount mark today in the afternoon. It’s been consistently getting views since it got uploaded to the Machinima youtube channel and is the #1 most viewed video (that isn’t the trailer for Avatar) out of their entire 9000+ video set on the regular channel. Last November I put out a “CS For Kids: Extras” video that served as an addendum to the original release with commentary, behind the scenes look, and a little introduction.

I just want to say how happy I am to be responsible for making a video that went up on youtube and machinima.com that was an instant viral success enjoyed obviously by so many people. Everyone else who helped I hope feels the same way, and thank you all – cast, crew, and of course, our awesome audience. Going to go put the birthday cake at Billy’s house now.

We should be seeing a new short video this week. Team Fortress 2 and other source game updates broke the Source SDK faceposer, so that put the TF2 video on halt. So, in the meantime, I got to work on a GMOD mini-tutorial video that you will see up on the web in a few days maximum.

Sup. I’ve been ill the past four days but the TF2 movie is still making a little progress. Shouldn’t take too long to finish it completely, just waiting on voiceovers from people before I can make some more serious headway.

To hold everyone over for the time being, here’s a compilation of some good footage from some not-so-good cameras shot last year (beginning of June, ‘09) when a bunch of us went to Columbus, Ohio, uploaded on JsXanatos. Good times.

Peace!

We’ve finally began production on a new Team Fortress 2 machinima that will probably be about 3-4 minutes in length. It felt good to record and edit some footage again. Expect to see some actual changes around the website and such to make it useful again. I keep posting a bunch of random stuff on the Facebook, but it’s time to get interest back into jsclan.com again. I’ll be trying to make more posts on here from now on, but I’ll probably keep the site posts just for updates on new videos, release dates, releases, and noteworthy happenings.

Here’s what we’ve seen on the Xanatos facebook page this past week:

“Clyde talks about Current Events” (click to enlarge)

“Xanatos and Wolfer talk Mother’s Day”

wolfer: did u hug ur mom yesterday
xanatos: ya
xanatos: did u
wolfer: yeh i hugged ur mom
xanatos: WOW

And last, but not least…. “PROGRESS!”

Thank you all for waiting so damn long for us to come back from the grave, and I will keep you posted on the production of our new video.
