Have you ever wished you could simply say a word and have a can of Red Bull delivered to your desk while in the middle of a raid?  Have you ever wished you could send commands to your character with your voice?  If either of these have been wishes in your life then you should head over to Microsoft’s “Sync Your Life Contest”.  The contest asks you to submit a 15 second clip showing what you would voice activate in your life.  Ford has tapped Gameriot to reac…

Possibly one of the funnier machinima films I have seen in awhile.  This entire comedy team at the site: thosearentmuskets.com is really talented.  Well, enjoy this.  I just wanted to share.EMBED NOT WORKING LINKAGE::::http://www.thosearentmuskets.com/sketches/smashbros.htmlhttp://www.thosearentmuskets.com/sketches/smashbros.htmlhttp://www.thosearentmuskets.com/sketches/smashbros.html

After what seemed to take forever, the long awaited winners announcement for the Blackbird Machinima Contest has arrived. Oh and there was drama regarding our Vote Down button (Don't think we'll make that mistake again), votes for hire (what are ya gonna do?), and proxy voting (shame on you). While we managed to remove the proxy votes, there was nothing we could do about people offering gold for votes or those that voted other videos down. We couldn't do anything about the vote down button on…

Ok so to start things off this morning, before things get busy with the competitive scene and our GDC coverage. I want to share this with you from the makers of "A Day in the Life of a Turret" Video after the jump...

Can't get enough Machinima? Good. Here are parts 1 and 2 if you missed them:Part 1Part 2The use of Meatloaf alone is enough to win any video a place in my heart, but this Fubarius production goes above and beyond. Way beyond.WoW: It's All Coming Back to Me NowCategory: Music VideoIt's easy to overlook quality machinima spoofs and remakes, but when I'm watching a piece of Machinima and I actually forget that I'm watching a computer animated piece because the facial e…

There is nothing quite like starting off your morning with a semi-amusing video.  Thus, I am here to share with all of you a parody of one of my most hated songs, "Soulja Boy", TF2 style.  IT'S OFF THE CHAIN!...I promise to try and never say that again...

 Besides being an avid gamer I’m a huge fan of movies and an amateur connoisseur of short films. Naturally, this predisposes me towards liking Machinima, but I’m not necessarily easy to please. The Best of Machinima is going to have to do more than throw out internet shorthand and game culture vernacular to make it onto this blog. Things like physics videos, while often very cool looking, are also not what I’m looking for. With that in mind I have scoured the internet in search of videos that use imagination, comedy, cinematography, and voice acting to their utmost.…

We have had a few great Halo vidoes posted here at Gameriot and everyone seemed to love them so when I saw that Gloob.tv had put together a top ten including some of our well known favorites; I couldn't pass it up. Halo 3 video stuff is pretty awesome and I think the stuff players have done with it speaks for itself. I can't wait for more big games to adopt in-game filming. We've got a workaround for stuff like that on PC because of applications like Fraps but many console games have gone under …

These guys put together one of the funniest machinima films I have seen in a very long time. LeetWorld produces many machinima films and you can find it all here: http://youtube.com/profile?user=LeetWorld "If a turret *****es about its job and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? You bet it does. "A Day in the Life of a Turret" catches two turrets on the job during a typical day at the Aperture Science Enrichment …

I've recently started playing around with a (relatively) new piece of editing software called Edius. Edius is particularly fun to edit with, because it has one of the best real-time video engines on the market today. That means virtually no rendering (and waiting) while editing your films. I decided to push the software to the limit and edit this 1280x720 60fps movie. It truly was a piece of cake. I encourage any video editor to check out Edius, and my little movie of course too! &qu…

Kenion Goes Naruto Style I am reinstalling my WoW now, so i have some time to write my first blog post. While waiting for the nearly 900Mb patch to install, I had some time to check Warcraftmovies.com . The first thing that got my attention was "Kennion - Black Rose". My first thought was "OMG, new movie from Kenion!!!" and my first reaction was to write to a fellow rogue in xfire about it. Then he answers "…

Okay, so I was doing some of the editing for my new movie, and I threw something together and I like how it came out: http://files.filefront.com/megaultrachickenwmv/;8984220;/fileinfo.html Unfortunately, it was quite a bit of work.. Hour and a half for a 30 second clip. Worth it? I dunno.

ok I'm not sure if this is old, but it was new to me and pretty funny... I'm the LAW giveAh!
