Subtle, small, but it’s got to be a nod.

YouTube – Introduction.

Very , very cool stuff.  Simple, but effective.  My friend Del said that this spawned on the SA forums, it’s a series of videos.  The first one explains the situation, and they are putting up more what looks to be pretty frequently.  I love this stuff.

I know it may be cliche at this point, but the Blair Witch thing has always stuck with me.  I love the concept of the narrative of the story being seen through the eyes of the protagonist.  At this point it could probably be considered a genre in it’s own way.

They are like zombie movies; each zombie movie sets up ‘how’ the zombies came to be.  Some spend a good amount of time on it, others glaze over it.  These ’shakey camera movies’ have to justify why someone needs to film themselves or their surroundings.

OH MAN.

PLUS IT LITERALLY HAS MY NAME ON IT.

Heya!

Just a reminder: 8pm tonight, myself and my friend Aaron will be picking up EndgameRadio where we long left off! The mysterious Episode 200!

If you’re not familiar, my friend and I have been running a web radio station and podcast about gaming culture for a few years; every Wednesday night for 199 (almost) consecutive weeks! We talk about games, gaming culture, game design, play some cool music and hang out with our fans. We’ve been on hiatus for a little over a year now, but it’s time to get things started up again!

Tune in tonight to hear what we’ve been up to, what’s gone down in the past year, and what we have planned for the show and the station!

Check out the site at 8pm PST tonight!
