Turbine Trouble released

Well, it's been rather quick, but the TF2 machinima has just been posted on YouTube.

As it's said in the description, I may find a match in a Payload map to make another video. But for now I'll get back to the Extra Curricular forums.

Enjoy!

Extra Curricular forum and upcoming TF2 machinima

Inspired by the problems that the chat for our Extra Credits Steam group had in realizing its potential, a few chat regulars (including myself) decided to create a fan forum called Extra Curricular, which I personally thought could be a good name for EC's games fund.

Within minutes of its first announcement on the Steam page, the forum admins were surprised to see an introduction by Yug from Game Damage, also co-hosted by Yahtzee from EC inspiration/sister series Zero Punctuation.

Also, I'm working on a TF2 replay machinima called Turbine Trouble. It's based on the last part of a match in ctf_turbine. I rendered and posted of one of the full takes as a preview of the full video, which will be posted in 720p HD.

See you later!

New Steam group for Extra Credits

As a longtime fan of Extra Credits, I previously e-mailed James Portnow about whether they were interested in making a Steam group or not. I saw a potential of having another outlet of information and a closer connection between EC Nation and the games that they love so much.

Unfortunately, James did not express that much interest in making and moderating the group himself, especially since much of the crew's time was spent on either the show itself, or their jobs and future plans.

But after seeing the overwhelming support from EC Nation to support artist Allison Theus, and even making the raised funds multiple times higher than their goal, I decided to make a fan page to increase support for the show through Steam.

You can visit the new group here and feel free to invite others as well.

Best!
