The Big Takeover
Posted by Burgess
I am so excited. The Inside Scoop leaked a season two trailer for Met A Stranger. Now, I know Myg has been optimistic about this and acting like it was going to happen all along, but we haven’t been so self-assured behind the scenes. But I think we can be pretty certain we’re all keeping our jobs for the time being. Right after the wrap party scandal we were taken over by Leviathan Industries. And I do mean taken over. After our hangovers wore off the next afternoon we noticed new construction in Topgol–big corporate buildings over on the old Chemical Candy lot–and there were these drones going about asking everyone to show “lot passes” and give access codes. I couldn’t even get into the Pwnshop. When I tried to complain some suit showed up out of nowhere and said, “You are now a wholly-owned Leviathan subsidiary. All your needs will be taken care of. No whining.” He handed me a stack of papers and a small, gray metallic ovoid–smooth and heavy like a worn river stone, but reeking of technology. Then he disappeared. The papers turned out to be a lengthy and indecipherable contract that I had already signed, though I have no recollection of it. The purpose of the touchstone (that’s what everyone’s calling them) is a mystery, but I like having it near me so I keep it in my pocket. I checked my bank balances and other holdings and Leviathan is all over them as well. They own a controlling share in everything around here. It’s kind of freaky, but the food is great. In any event, Myg and I figured we’d post the Season Two trailer here as well:
So you are now a cog in the machine……
i dont know myg and alex are rebels, surely they will not let this company take over topgol. i smell mystery in the air.
I think what you smell is ozone from the Touchstones….
this clip is fantastic!!!! ohmygawd, and the music, isn’t that “carmina burana” ( heavy spellcheck on this one ).
had to watch it over and over. amazing amazing. reminded me a lil ( zee music ) of my swg days, there were awesome “frapper guys” making the most amazing video clips.
and needless to say i am huge fan of clips in any genre of a game/ world/ meta.
just dam briliant!
All hail the Wrath!
Hey, congrats to Gala for correctly identifying the music! I know it’s a little over-used for dramatic effect in so many other movies, so figured it couldn’t hurt to use it to build the suspense here, hehe.
Thanks to the M is for Myg team for providing such wonderful pieces of art to incorporate - made the machinima turn out 100% better than anything I could’ve done alone, which I think goes without saying.
wrath,
i’m a huge classical music fan and the carmina is so fitting, the dramatic effects in the clip, the wonderful actors, it’s so dam good.
i was just thinking, hmm.. sl always has some video clip competition going on. and even if they wont have one going on right now, wouldn’t hurt to showcase this amazing clip to the ll heads. i am sure they woull love it as much as i do among many other video frapper/ clipper fans.
much kudos to you!
