10 years the original Quake was the height of gaming technology. A few months after the game’s release a strange phenomenon previously not seen started appearing around what was then the internet. They where called ‘Quake movies’.
They started as simple promotions for multiplayer clans, but some eventually developed in to their very own little art form.
This is one of the first Quake movies that started to plow this new ground, The Artifact. The narrative is shakey at best, but I still find it fun to watch with a scoop of nostalgia.
If nothing else I really recommend watching at 06:20 when a lovely little poem; “The Rocket Room” is being recited.
It’s a little piece of gaming history. Long before games like The Movies where ever conceived …
Blahbalicious and Operation Bayshield are two other, slightly more refined examples of this phenomenon.
Zeitgeist
Posted in Movies with tags Zeitgeist on January 8, 2008 by NoviThis thing is one of those “Can’t stop watching” pseudo documentaries. It should probably be taken with a few truck loads of pinches of salt, but it’s quite entertaining and thought provoking.
This thing sure proposes some super wonky conspiracy theories…
