Monty Oum

[Grim]

In this topic, we shall talk about the awesomeness that are Monty Oum's videos. Who's Monty Oum you ask? Why, only the best fan animator in existence. Basically he takes characters from games and puts them all together in one long FMV which is so good you'd think it was made by the game creators themselves.

Enough talking, here are both of his most famous vids so far, courtesy of Gametrailers.com.

Both take quite a long time to load, but trust me when I say they're both worth every second of waiting. Honestly. If you won't do it for love of the sheer technical expertise that goes into making them, do it for the gentle amounts of fanservice.
