ANOTHER NEW VIDEO – Gman Squad: The Lost Tapes

Xanatos — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 21:48:42 +0000

Two new videos in a week? What the F? If you liked the Gman Squad, there’s no way you won’t like this. This is a new video made entirely of footage from the 2008 Gman Squad Episodes 1 through 4 timeframe. I feel this is how the series should have always been like, editing-style wise. All the footage is either alternate takes or never before seen extras. Ten fun minutes. Check it out -

NEW VIDEO – The Garrysmod Secret Agent

Xanatos — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 23:39:29 +0000

A new short machinima video that’s a take on James Bond and the spy genre. Few Goldfinger references in there, especially the obvious one near the end. I liked making this, pretty fun stuff.

Hearts and Brains continues this Sunday with Episode 2

Xanatos — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 07:00:14 +0000

Oh hi, Mark. I felt like the first episode of Hearts and Brains was a breath of fresh air again. Was glad to see that it was a near-instant success. It got some recognition in a Kotaku post and received a ton of positive feedback, so thank you all mucho for that!

Since it has been deemed a series from the get-go, Episode 2 is knocking on completion’s door. Expect to see it uploaded and released to Machinima.com’s networks on this coming Sunday. Same ‘ol raunchy humor, and more zombie comedy featuring two fine derelicts in Rod Masters and his pal Gabriel. The series begins to develop now, as this second episode introduces (more in-depth this time) the character of Sasha. She is Rod’s personal assistant, caught up in the same dilemma as everybody else..

The time it should go up would be around 3AM EST. What? You’re not staying up after the wee hours of the morning after Saturday night? Guess you’re just going to have to do your best Jagger, then:

Take care,

BRAND NEW MACHINIMA “Hearts and Brains Episode 1″ RELEASED!

Xanatos — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 08:59:40 +0000

It’s called “Pretty…Woman?”

This is the project I’ve been posting about the past couple of months, and the pilot episode has finally reached completion. A lot of pretty legit editing and Garrysmod recording went into this. It already looks as if the response is very positive, so start thinking Episodes 2 and 3 pretty soon. It’s a Garrysmod Machinima comedy involving zombies, and, well, this one just happens to involve a zombie hooker. Sounds like wonderful subject matter for little Johnny. Enjoy.

What began as just another day in the life of Rod Masters suddenly takes a drastic turn when the escort service sends a rather eerie lady to his apartment.

Two-part Interview: Cabooss15 and Xanatos

Xanatos — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:02:27 +0000

So this was a very impromptu thing, but a guy by the name of Cabooss15 (goblinsrevenge) sent me a private message on youtube asking for a quick interview. I haven’t been up to a lot lately – just the usual mix of personal problems and internets, so we added each other on skype and did the interview right then and there.

Xanatos — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:15:55 +0000

Well, it’s here. Getting all sorts of interesting comments already. “Tears of joy were streaming down my face when I saw this in the subscription box,” “See you in a year,” “So good you will feel the dust!”

Check it out. Our popular, infamous series is back with a new, crazy episode. Number eight. We even have a nice little cameo from Sam T. in here.

GMOD Machinima Tricks – Episode 2: One Man Machinima-making Army

Xanatos — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 05:24:02 +0000

Sup bros!!! New video up, this is another brief machinima mini-tutorial for you Garrysmod dawgs. The last tutorial (Episode 1 – Green screens and spaceships) was a little too specific, so this one is a bit more vague all-around. It’s basically about using all of the Garrysmod tricks and your console to be able to make more for your movie entirely by yourself, without having to deal with an online server and inviting all your bros to help you out in your movie. So check it out, honky.

Counter-Strike Minute 91

Xanatos — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 05:55:09 +0000

An old pal of mine, DrMattDestruction, has had a very ongoing Counter-Strike 1.6 series on youtube called “CS Minutes”. The premise of these videos are that he records everyday happenings in ESEA CS1.6 league “Pug” games, and compiles them into these videos. So far he’s made over 90. That’s pretty impressive. A few times he has asked pals to “guest edit” the videos. So after he asked me, I just went gung-ho with a bunch of silly add-ins. Meh. It’s just a handful of us having fun. Why not.

The new “Gmod Machinima Tricks” just got finished tonight. This second episode is about being a “one man machinima-making army”. I’ll be sending that off to the Machinima.com guys shortly, so expect that soon too. In the meantime, though:
