Here are some cool source filmmaker shorts for this Monday!

1:magic shmagic
Magic shmagic is a large videogame crossover mostly between bioshock infinite, portal, and team fortress 2. This short uses stock sound effects from each game so the story is hard to find out. On the surface it’s about a turret bot (portal) who meets a woman named Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite) who opens a tear to fix one of his parts. The opening of the tear portal causes ancient forces to come loose (merasmus from tf2 that one boss from world of Warcraft, ect) but there is actually more to it below the surface of the animation. Give it a look!

2:the beginning of Garrys’ modification
Garrys’ mod is a sandbox modification for half life 2 by face punch studios’ Garry Newman.
But how did all of Garry’s mods crazy sandbox antics start? This will explain that! (Note Garry’s mod has no storyline so this is all pure jokes for lolz)

That’s all for today! Tune in next Monday!

This weeks stuff:

Gamercat: taste the rainbow

Bioshock:radio play
NOSTALGIA MODE ACTIVATE
God I love bioshock, it’s literally my 2nd favorite game series of all time. Now a fan has brought it to life in a new way. Bioshock is the story of a man named jack who stumbles upon an underwater city called Rapture in the 1960s
This is kinda long but if your into great stories but not into games this is great because bioshock is the greatest story a game can tell… Well actually it’s bioshock infinite but a bioshock infinite radio play doesn’t exist yet…
You can listen to it here

THIS GAME IS WEEEEEEEIIIIIIIRRRRRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!

WHAT IS THIS, LIKE I KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT ITS SO CRAZY!!
JUST WHAT
So Nintendo made this game! I do not know why but this is hilarious and gives me a reason to play my 3ds again!

What is leadership really? Well… It is a lot of things… Taking control of a situation, or just leading a team to a victory are some examples. But what about a strong definition? The dictionary, doesn’t have one, Internet? Nope. So let’s just look at what the characteristics of leadership actually are.

First off. Characteristics. We are looking for things that define different leadership moments and examples. Then compiling that into a larger understanding. When leadership happens it usually happens when somebody has control like the captain of a team or a teacher. So maybe leadership is a persons control over a groups actions, captain of a team controls the plays.

Heeeeeey!
Welcome back to Monday links! We make your Monday better so you can keep living through the day!
Today’s links for this week and some of last week include…

Black mesa source!
The remake of half life is finally out! Well the mod release anyways… The retail PC release comes this summer. If you own a PC and a copy of Half Life 2 you can download the total conversion mod today! BMS is a great way to start half life. Since the new graphics make it look wonderful!

The gamercat: gamer grumps.
I don’t need to speak for anyone when I say this crossover was destined from the start…

Sir, you are being hunted
AND YOU THOUGHT BRITISH ENTERTAINMENT COULDNT GET BETTER.
In a world where TV sucks and the only good shows are on bbc there is a new show, sir you are being hunted, you are randomly selected to be on it! This game doesn’t look too good graphic wise but it’s hilarious. What game can you fight smack-talking British robots with a shotgun? (Also if you see one of those, fighting it is a BAD idea.)

Game download here (PC, MAC, LINUX ONLY)

Robo gentlemen love to hunt humans for plucky sport.

My favorite poem is where the sidewalk ends by shel Silverstein
I can put it here and talk about it.

Where the Sidewalk Ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends.

There are lots of things that we think about that we don’t know the origin of. Like how did all these sidewalks get into place? Where do they begin and where do they completely end? Companies that came from nothing, what do they do? Is it just random offices where people click keys on computers? Is there a purpose to anything? Or is everything happening on a schedule? These things are pondered within the poem and makes me wonder more than I ever have…
